I've heard rumors about cheating on this site. I did a search but didn't find anything about it. If I understand it correctly, one of the ways to cheat is to use a chess program to coach you in your moves. How is that spotted? I mean, how is it possible to spot someone using a chess program rather than that marvelous device between their ears?
Thanks for any thoughts.

An 800 point increse since 19th of september is very impreseive, then take into account the rest of the time on the site he showed little improvement drifing between 1250-1450.

How is it possible to detrmine if someone is using chess software to cheat?
If you play the Sicilian, they will shoot you first and ask questions later.
