Cheating

Using databases for corrospondence chess was something that was allowed because it would be too difficult to detect if someone were using them or not. In the future it will be more difficult to determine if someone is using an engine to make their moves (which is still impossible to detect 100😵 and this is why no one is to take corrospondence chess seriously as any indication of how well they play or not. Corrospondence chess is a joke and a pass time for serious players of any age or level.

Yep. Just a step up from chasing racoons.

In the post you quote, I was asking a question, although I've since then been told I meant it as a rhetorical question.


I have never stated that it is cheating. It's obviously NOT cheating or it wouldn't be clearly allowed would it? [that is a rhetorical question, don't answer]

Can you be more specific as to which books you use when you're playing the Bogo-Indian, please?

😉

You could always just ask your opponent before starting at game if they use a database or not?

Depending on my mood, I might lie to you if you ask me that.

Sort of asking a women here age. It's not polite.

Wow... I never dreamed my little survey would produce so many posts. My previous survey (on the King's Gambit) hardly produced any conversation:

Yeah 🙄 and I never said you said DB users were cheats, just that you were going to treat them in the same way as a cheat. 😵

Don't get me wrong I'll play anyone, but when I get thrashed I'd like to know if my opponent has used a database. Not that they would need to as I've been playing crap lately. As they don't tell you [some of them] I state in my profile that I prefer non users, to make a more even game of it.
Like I said it's just a personal thing with everyone.
