Easy there now...
This is within the TOS, and the tradition of CC chess. Published human analysis, the latest chess mag whatever. Radio matches same thing.
Any one who uses databases to make their moves should have a * beside their rating... i don't want to play them.

There might be a few positions I'll check into it - English Symmetrical is one. I can't really think of anything else where I need more DB work. It may be valuable for newer players though... or if you recorded your own games and checked where you're weakest?

This game my opponent leaves book at move 8 (I didn't even know we were still in book at that point) but the ideas still flow until I start to get in time trouble... I still try to use constructive ideas and they work out but only because my opponent blundered.

Originally posted by Trev33This is interesting, and I admit I have felt this on occasion, more than 10 moves into some game, not playing chess but copying. Opening books lead to this also. On the other hand, all the openings I play are copied from someone at some point, learning chess is learning ideas from someone else no? How many moves is too many to copy?

Originally posted by ExumaI copy the dragon all the time, and there have been 10 move sequences in this opening that I have regularly followed. I would never have been able to come up with the dragon on my own, so is it plagiarism now I use it? 😉
