What do you guys think of new World Chess Live + USCF allience?

It is now possible to play RATED USCF Quick games on a World Live server online and earn points towards your official USCF rating! I think it's a bad idea, since A LOT of players will violate honors code by cheating with engines... What do you think of this subject???

If their ratings go up really fast I'm pretty sure they'll notice. People will also notice if a person with a high rating never participates in a real life tournament o.o. People who face opponents with engines get better by learning from the game they lose. I mean, you still have to participate in real life tournaments to qualify for events such as state and nationals, and when they do try and play it'll become painfully obvious that they aren't actually rated 2400 or something. Also, as Webgogs pointed out, even engines have flaws =D.

mind sharing the URL with the article please.

Sure, it is www.worldchesslive.com .

To Ranigad: Yes, it is true they would have to participate in OTB tournaments to play in State or National Events, but because of "online USCF" Quick Rating will be even less reliable. Would you like to face someone who has like 1000 USCF rating, but playing like a GM online (and it would mess up real life rating). I don't.

I'm pretty sure there will be a huge addition to the number of titled quick chess players now...
