Well, as a cheater myself, it's very easy to spot another cheater which I won't go into too great of detail seeing you're not going to cheat. But for a legit player as yourself, Identifying someone using a program is difficult. Chess programs have built-in opening books which they zip through without a seconds' thought. Once YOU make a move that doesn't conform to the opening book that you're in, the computer then begins to think about its response. If you're playing the King's Gambit and you then make a move that is not in line with that opening, the program suddenly stops making rapid moves and begins to think. Watch for players who make super quick opening moves then all of a sudden become very deliberate. You cant pass judgement based on one game though. Watch for patterns. Also, when in the endgame, even when there's only one move for your opponent to make (to get out of check) it'll take him several seconds to make it. It takes time to transpose the moves (enter your move, wait for the progs response, then enter it online). Cheaters take at least 2 to 3 seconds per move due to transposition--unlesss you're playing a one min. game and he has an auto232 prog (a prog that moves by itself).
hey look mate who cares that your a cheat... if you ever thought about it your not good at all... stop being an arse and stop ruining people who just want to have fun
cheater 1 go away. Your story was interesting for a while, but now no one cares. I myself even had a chuckle at your story but now your dragging this whole thing on, whether it's real or not. Use some of your showmanship and get out before you've completley worn this out.
It does not sound like you have improved at anything except cheating. These forums are not a soapbox on which to stand and tout yourself as the biggest cheating idiot, cause no one cares! You most likely are still just a hack. Anyone looking to improve on chess should just concentrate on the basic fundamentals and applying them correctly. A big part of chess is not in making fantastic winning moves, but instead in NOT making losing moves. Study study study the fundamentals. The whole of chess is only these simple ideas. Sometimes these basic elements are found in combination, but always ideas in chess can be reduced down to the simple macro idea.
SIMPLE:
The best way to improve your chess.....
1)Spend less time in the forums reading, posting threads, etc...
and
2)Spend more time playing chess.

Amem, and 3) Annotating your games, preferably with a stronger player.
Good advice in the last two threads.
Playing people better than themselves will improve most peoples' games

Everyone LEAVE! The only reason this guy is going on about this is so you will all pay him attention. I guarantee, that if nobody reads this junk, he'll pack up and leave. That's what he wants! He's a lonely guy that wants attention. Just leave him alone. No one read his posts any more...
Are you referring to cheater1? If so, I agree to a great extent.
Well now... let me see. The problem is here is that cheater1 is fvery lonely and wants some friends but he's not doing a very good job of getting any so we eed to incourage to get new friends by something else besides cheating. Do you get me?
Cheating is for cheats,whats the point..

Agreed. Cheater1, you really need to shut the (beep) up. No one cares about what you have to say. You're annoying and a cheater. Just go away and stop trying to interest us with your pathetic forums.
I agree with the last link in my opinion you are nothign but a joke, i don't know if your story is true or just a bunch of crap only you think is funny but if it is true you need to be banned from all chess OTB or online then you can sit at home and be proud of your so called A class rating or should i say the computers A class rating go away already and let the REAL chess players enjoy the game.
How on earth can you offer any of us advice, when you don't even play chess. All you can do is follow what a chess program has shown you is the next move. You can't even think for yourself.

I get Cheaters point. And it is true that you can learn by watching. Playing against Cheater is no different than playing against your own Fritz. It is all for the good. And, it is the reason why online/computer Chess will never be as legitimate as a live game.

FOR ONCE someone actually sees the FACTS. thehomeless guy, although he may hate me as most do, does not choose to ignore the facts like most of the people here do. Chess programs are A VITAL NECESSITY if one wants to be truly competitive. Forget the cheating aspect. If ANYONE one on this entire site DOES NOT possess a chess program right now and play it regularly, its comparable to someone who aspires to be on the PGA Tour and doesnt own a set of golf clubs. The more I read the posts here, the more I feel the people are trolls who will argue with whatever I say or are just complete chess buffoons who are content with their 1200 rating. I've told my story on another thread and am done touting cheating. What I'm trying to do now is provide some sort of service or insight into a world that 99.9% people here FEAR....legitimately FEAR like the plague. I do feel there is more fear than hatred of cheaters. Don't fear or hate me, I love chess (I played 3 fifteen minute games yesterday WITHOUT cheating) and will refrain from rehashing my past ways unless provoked....the ball is in your court people.
Yes computers are helpful i use to have some but got to good for the weaker ones and stopped before going on and getting stronger ones. I found that playing pc chess players improved my game too, because they seem to think differently to us humans and the more u play them the more u notice the differences. It wasnt your cheating that improved u so much it was watching and studying the better players against it kind of like watching masters games and watching the pc play itself same effect either way some of that does sink in and improve u its a shame your a cheat u seem smart enough to play well without cheating if u gave yourself the chance....
If you Play a chess program, lets say 10 years, you'll still have a hard time wining against a human. Chess programs, on lower challenge then max, calculate the value of the every move, then playing a serten amount of points of max, something a human will not do as they move after logic and patterns. You can therefor practise against a computer all your life and still get a official rating of less then 1500. Chess bocks can describe everything from phykologi (sorry its Swedish but you can guess the word) to ethics. A computer will not. I bet Cheater never read a chess book properly, at least not a good one.
As the world's foremost authority on Chess Cheating, I have some advice to all of you novices. First off, let me say that I have over 30 years' of chess experience under my belt and hold an "unofficial" USCF rating in the mid Class A. My advice is to save your dollars and purchase either Chessmaster XI or Fritz XI. I have a personal preference for CM because it is much more user friendly and is geared towards learning and improving. Fritz also has many useful teaching tools and is considerably stronger at longer games but lags in speed games vs. CM. You will learn 10 times more and ten times faster than reading books on the subject, and hey, if Kasparov uses Fritz to analyze games, chess programs can't be all that evil. Of course, should you want to use them for "evil" purposes, you can. And believe it or not, cheating at chess online WILL actually IMPROVE your chess in real life. Let me explain. In the mid 90s I had a USCF rating somewhere in the mid Class C. For the over 10 years I have cheated 97% of all chess games I played, numbering over 150,000 games from 1 minute games to 15 minute games. Today, my USCF rating is in the mid Class A but is technically in the lower spectrum of Class A. My inflated rating reflects some wins where I cheated OTB at USCF events and I personally do not include them, but that's a whole other story. The reason I have skipped over the ENTIRE Class B is SOLELY due to cheating. As I said, I played no more than several thousand quick games in those 12 years, and that would in no way shape or form improve my regulation game play that significantly. It was WATCHING Chessmaster, Watching Fritz, Watching Rebel Tiger, Watching Hiarcs decimate my opponents time after time and learning how Rebel Tiger (one of the most aggressive progs out there) deals with a legit aggressive player. You can only get better by playing or watching other players (or progs) play other better players. That's pure and simple logic. Forget the boring books, forget playing weaker opponents (that never results in progress), and purchase one of the aforementioned chess programs and use it for good or evil purposes, but USE IT. I guarantee your ELO with dramatically rise.
