A new opponent, whose profile says he's been playing for only 18 months, emphatically charged me with using a chess "program" (on move 4 or 5). For what it's worth my rating has never gotten much above 1400 for very long.

I took him to be serious but could this have been an awkward attempt at trash talk? He clammed up when I rubbed his nose in the details of TOS 3b.

You might try sending feedback, there's a link at the bottom of every RHP page.

If you hadn't been transplanted from L.A. you could have called the LAPD but I'm sure they have the equivalent where you transplanted to, assuming of course it wasn't a gulag.

Can't you just put your chess "program" on a higher setting than 1400?

It's BattleChess. There is no higher rating.
