I recently played a few interesting blitz and Live 960 games in a row against people rated much lower than me (500 - 800 points). They played solid, consistent chess - not that my standards are all that high! Some ran out of time, or were stretched in the end-game.
Mostly I can't get interested in the subject, but it does raise the question of using a computer to play. (why would one bother?! )
1. Is it possible to do so during such short games? I guess it's obviously possible, using Fritz or something, when you're playing one day per move - but with 10 minutes each, per game? 5 minutes?
2. I actually won those games with a struggle. Does this mean that they definitely were not using a computer program? ( I've heard that chess programs start at around 2000, and my ratings are lower than that.)
I hope this is clear, and that someone can answer.
