I played at Pogo a lot. I remember that they allowed players to connect a program, so you could play many cheaters. At Pogo, bridge was even worse, since they allowed people to have two logins that could look at all of their side’s cards.
in retrospect, it is kind of quaint to remember how poor the early engines were. I started playing 5-minute games there. Then, when the engines could beat me at that time control, I shifted to 3-minute games. When the engines could beat me at that speed, I moved down to 2-minute and later to 1-minute games. When the engines could beat me at that speed, I quit Pogo.
my pogo user name was something like xxxmikewxxx.
A little over a decade ago. I used to keeps screenshots of moves I liked.
I still do this, albeit on this website. Lol
I can now always remember my first successful queen sac, as simple and obvious as it was
