'Chess program' is more general, 'chess engine' is more specific.

Chess engines are playing chess. Not all chess programs are engines (databases, ICS clients, &c)

What would he accused you if you won? Robbing the victory from him Cool

That's a first! Being accused of using a chess engine in a game you lost with the ratings at that level? Wow. Please note that I am not making fun of your rating or that of your opponent. Why would anyone win a game and then accuse his opponent of using an engine? Another genius heard from (your opponent and I am being as sarcastic as I can).

AndyClifton

Always good to hear when sarcasm is sarcasm.

Some people just can't believe that they stink something awful at chess. So when they lose, it must be because you used an engine. Laughing

It is impossible to play chess online without a program (Chrome, for instance), but an engine (a strange name for a calculating program that generates move suggestions) is forbidden in most places.

I like using the Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine personally.

I sometimes use the HeadTails-engine. altough strong at moments, it has some hard flaws as well

Half my losses came from people using Engine's, but at least they didn't accuse me of "cheating"   Laughing ! Merry Xmas to the land of the BANNED !!!

In a USCF postal game in the 1990s I once picked runes to determine which move (of five possible candidate moves) to make at one point. I ended up winning the game. Was that cheating?
