i think if i am correct should contains suggestion! but i might be wrong. I am not a native english speaker. Pls correct me if am wrong!
well, i said the word ''should'' itself contains a meaning of suggestion. When i was talking about the books and databases i said ``Ppl should not use them``, (if they wanna improve really) i did not say they must not or they can not.That's it. If they use it's ok.
But ppl must not use and can not use stupid machines! and they should be punished. like we should hang them on a post and finger their bottom. Just kidding 🙂
I hope i am clear now.Thank you again!
I think now all of us here see the imperfections of arguing over the internet. Communication is best left to those willing to do so face to face, whether it be for good or bad. When people agrue over the internet, words can easily get misinterpreted. That is all. The Hebrew has spoken....
I can say that I have not confronted someone using a machine yet. I've had that happen only once on gameknot.com. And, the kid finally resigned. I saw this very deep combination, and he played right through it. I rarely see such a beautiful combination, because most of my games are not won brilliantly. But, he finally resigned, because I told him I knew it was a computer and I was going to report him. I think people using a computers defeat the whole purpose of correspondence and chess. The game of chess is meant to enjoy. I am 1354 right now on Red Hot Pawn. I would rather know I am a true 1354 than a grandmaster rating made up for me by FRITZ. Thank you for reading me little letter here.

If you have an accusation against anyone, and can back up your accusation with sound logic and evidence, send a PM to any of the Game Mods: They are:
David Tebb
Gatecrasher
Phlabibit
tmetzler
If, however, your only grounds for accusation is that someone beat you, then don't bother. We are not going to take frivolous complaints seriously.
How can you tell you're playing a computer? I was playing two games against "queen of las vegas," and frankly getting my head handed to me, when suddenly she was removed from the site. Using a computer? I've looked at the games for some signs, but they seem like completely normal games to me. How do you tell?
