Hello! I haven't played on RHP since 2009. Back then, blitz was in beta, Akizy/weyerstrauss were the top players, and clubs were completely new. How have things changed since then?

Well, Akizy just upped and left, and Ronald was banned a couple of years ago..the clubs have taken off and the clans are in decline...and, hmmmm, Blitz is as it was...mostly quiet lol..
Edit: Of note, the clubs make up 'maybe' a good 50% of all tourney's now ( private affairs by the zillion ! )..so YES, how things have changed !!

Telepathy. You can't read the mind of an engine.

Well done CP.

Was it a Mack or a Peterbuilt?

Did I spell that correctly?

I think there are game moderators that review the games of the player in question looking for matching engine moves (I could be wrong though)

Matching the moves of a player under suspicion with moves generated by a computer.

Supposing you were just an excellent player?
Would it not be difficult to prove?

It is difficult to prove. The match rate has to be quite high.. superhuman in a sense.

The game moderators are long gone. The task's now left to anyone who gets obsessive enough about a particular player to put in all the hard work of making a case. Then nobody will do anything anyway.

Any player with a green light behind his name is most likely an engine user......FACT!
