yes the little light that indicates whether you are on-line or not, also indicative of whether you are an engine user or otherwise, if granny is to be believed.

Humans play like humans, computers play like computers.

There has been a significant amount of analysis comparing the best human players that have ever lived against computers. As a result of this there are remarkably consistent engine 'matchup rates' that the best players achieve. So the question is then this - If the best players ever don't cross these engine match up rate thresholds, why are a load of chess nobodies doing it on an internet chess site?
