At least one (xpert2) wanted to play some games using CM6000. But he wasn't a (C). I told him "sure" so long as they are unrated, as his rating was about 2000. So for a time, _he_ was a computer, although not what I would call a 'cheater' as there was nothing hidden, and no rating tricks happened... this could be inmortal's story... it is really necessary to look at games to make the actual 'cheating' determination...
