Should database use on RHP be stopped?

Fairness? If you're playing chess online at RHP then you have fair and equal access to databases such as chesslive.de.

Be pragmatic. If you can't detect an infraction, there's no point in creating a rule.

Trust. In any human transaction, including RHP chess, you give and receive trust. Where you expose yourself to higher risk (in business, gambling or love) you proceed with more caution. If the only thing at stake is a rating, detecting unfairness is a low priority

That too. And I doubt soccer players would be allowed to play without shoes in an official game.

oh, both of you need a good match in the stadium and read some Galeano to love it... no hurries, though -your time to fall in love with it will come

In Sweden we call it fotboll. Fotboll directly translated is of course football. In the US they call football soccer and have yet another game called football that actually doesn't have a lot to do with using the foot to play the ball. Right? 🙄

Edit: So, are you against football or soccer? 'Cause football I can agree with. 😀

I can't see a way you could possibly create and access such a database in a meaningful way without using an engine or similar.

I think so, it is an unfair advantage that with a good database can take you well into the middle game, unlike books which aren't too unfair..... Thoughts ?

There is no way to stop database use. That's why it's allowed.

Suppose I could. Suppose it was possible to develop a sort of tableview where you can just step through the list and try "recommended" moves; moves recommended by you or any other skilled player based on earlier games.

Would that be considered cheating or simple database use?
