This brings up a question...when I play on chess.com, I often consult opening books/sites while I am playing. It helps me set up (never more than 5 or 6 moves, perhaps because I don't have the right sources), but obviously can't help me when opponents start deviating from the regular opening play.
Is that cheating?
This is discussed in other threads, but the short answer is no, it is not cheating. In fact it is explicity allowed. From the Chess.com FAQ:
"You MAY use books, magazines, or other articles. You may also use computer database"

So - do you think this happens? Someone using software to go from this site and "plug in" their game(s) in order to gain the upper hand?
Simple - I have had in the past two chess "computers" made by a Chinese company and endorsed by Garry Kasparov. At their top levels, they would give all but the best GM's at the time a good game. It would have been easy to set one of them up to respond to opponents on chess.com, or any similar site.
They would have helped the user to win virtually all his games against human opponents. Furthermore, they could be set to respond to any time control restrictions. For example, if one were playing a five minute a side game, one could set the machine to move in not more than five seconds. Lest anybody should suspect me of cheating on this site, I no longer have these machines. (honest!)

Engine use is rampant in online Chess, and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. It’s just ridiculous to have a rule that says no talking about cheating, when EVERYONE KNOWS A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF PLAYERS IN ONLINE CHESS CHEAT. All anyone has to do is look at the amount of chatter cheating produces. Chess.com has banned upwards of 20,000 cheaters in one month! Those people never quit playing. They simply open new accounts and play through the rating range of new and inexperienced players, causing this frustration.
The consequenties are, disappointment all over the place. At the end only remain cheaters playing against other cheaters online and those who really care about the game will play live chess only.
A negative consequence for chess sites is that people wont pay a membership to play against (computers) cheaters.
Pity but it is the sign of the times.
Chess greetings
