I'm confused. I see several playes on the removed list who still appear to be playing games. One player in particular holds several siege boards.

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.

what i like to do is to send them a message:

" Are you using a computer to make your moves for you?"

if they stupidly are, then they are normally also stupidly capable of the following reply;

"yes".
