I actually used to play on Yahoo Chess a lot. I know that some people did use
programs just to get a higher rating, but it wasn't many, I think that saying
most of the higher rated players do. One really has to question their
motivation. Why spend hours playing chess if you are just making moves with your
program? It does not help in testing, because Yahoo ratings aren't very
accurate, and play is manual, so I can rule that out. Additionally one does not
really improve in playing if a program is used. And finally there's really
nothing to gain.... So I don't think it's a really good idea. Anyway there are
some good players in there, so don't jump to any conclusions. Regards -Imran
