This actually happened.A guy,let's call him Ed,is playing chess through the mail,his opponent has about the same rating as he has.They're in a complex middlegame and his oppo is sending his moves too fast and accurate for the rating he has.Ed writes along with his move: 'I know you are using a computer,this is against the rules!'.His opponents reply was this: Don't worry,I'm not cheating you.The computer only suggests moves,I make the final decision!
This has always been one of my favorite chess stories 😵
