Well actually since 20-25% of the people I play >are using Chessmaster in microchess mode to cheat me, i guess i just get my butt >kicked fair and square sometimes :). > > >Poll Question #2 how often do you feel you are cheated on the chess servers? How do you detect a cheater? Do you analyze the games w/ a computer and if the person picks of CM's moves, say 75% of the time, then they're cheating? Or is it more fuzzy than that and based on your experience of how computers play? We are all better on some tactical themes than others, know certain openings/endings better, etc. So it seems that unless you play someone a good number of games and get a wide range of positions, it would be difficult to decide. Otherwise, you might be tempted to say "my opponents rating is only 1700 and there's now way they would've seen that unless they're using a computer" when in fact you may have just gotten into a position that they know well. Know what I mean? BTW, I don't cheat (as evindence by my sorry rating and knack for hanging pieces) and I like the idea as a poll question. Tony
