computer cheating examples
Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2013 8:20 pm
In a discussion on another forum, the general consensus was that computer cheating is pervasive in online chess. FICS was often quoted as an environment filled with computer cheaters. I used to play on FICS more often than I do at the moment, but I never had the impression that my opponent was cheating. This means either that they were not cheating or that they were cheating and I did not notice. In order to avoid the latter case in the future and gain some more experience in the matter, I'm asking for a courtesy.
If you ever played chess online and you were certain that your opponent was cheating with a computer, could you please post the rigged games here?
If you don't have a record of all your games (and you were not playing on FICS, see below) could you please post the next games were you'll be certain your opponent cheats with a computer?
If you were playing on FICS, the http://ficsgames.org database stores all games played on the server; it's very easy to search trough your games and find the ones you remember for playing against a cheater. It's very easy to post here a game from the http://ficsgames.org databases; the database offers directly a link to replay each game, such as http://ficsgames.org/cgi-bin/show.cgi?ID=335945245 (this is a game of mine and for the record I dont think my opponent cheated here). ; such a link to each rigged game would be perfect. The http://ficsgames.org databases also stores the time for each move that is likely relevant for an anti-cheating analysis.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I asked the same courtesy on the other forum, unfortunately I did not get any games posted; I rather got lectures how to spot a cheater; I don't really need a lecture, I'm only asking for games where you feel certain your opponent cheated with a computer.
