Engine use?

Hi all

Just wondered if there was anything in place to combat engine use? 

I am playing a daily game and wondered about my opponent, I checked his other daily games (not mine) with an engine and every single move is top 3 of engine suggestions, I have looked at lots of my OTB games on engines after the event and even in my best games I am not playing like an engine! 

Just wondered if there was anything to be done, I might just resign as its pointless! If I wanted that I would just play Houdini at home! Cheers

Write an email to support after the game.

Hmm, it seems as if you are admitting to engine use. Meanwhile, smile and enjoy it.

How on earth do I seem like I am admitting engine use??? 

I dont use an engine during my games, I was quite clear in explaining that I had looked at my opponents other games with an engine, I am not playing in those games!!!!
