i don't understand what a chess engine is...is this a type of software chess board that you set up on the screen side by side with your game and you watch what the computer does and you follow it ?...if this is a chess engine then why play chess..you are not playing at all ?
It's stupid.
By the way, before everyone starts crappin at me about cheating accusations, I made this post to ask about a simple rule. Is it, or is it not, against the rules of RHP to use an engine in their blitz room for unrated, casual purposes?
Now chill out people 🙄

Originally posted by ih8sensSave your PGN from the game and send as feedback with your reason for believing a user may be using an engine. To my own surprise I was told by Russ that he wants ZERO engine use in any games at RHP Rated or NOT.

Originally posted by PhlabibitBe careful there. What people do in setup games is none of anybody else's business. They are unrated, not in the statistics, and can start from any position. I don't see why there would be a restriction of any kind on them as long as both parties agree (if not, then either party can just drop the game with no consequences). In most cases these games are coaching or training games, and alongside with books, played mastergames, in-game chat, etc. , engines can have their merits too.

Originally posted by Mephisto2It's always been implicit in the TOS. Phlabibit tolds us at the bottom of page 1 of Thread 74071 that Russ had confirmed it in a PM to himself.
Can you point to where Russ said exactly that?

thread 18774 : one person playing against a conferring public
thread 18656 : a game against an engine
Isn't it the intention (which is clearly constructive in both threads) what counts?
ps. reading the page you referred to gives me this post by the great Phlabibit himeself: "No need for feedback here. You may play an unrated game with an engine as long as the other player knows you are using an engine at the start of the game. I have 4 or 5 such BORING games with a couple 3 users.

Originally posted by Mephisto2Check the dates of each post... I can't do that any more since Russ wants zero use... and it's not a big deal, since it was always boring and most often a draw.

Originally posted by PhlabibitI strongly suggest that you avoid being used as a reference. I would like to know from Russ himself in these forums (or very explicitly in the ToS) if what I described as one of the scenario's in setup/unrated games is allowed. Meanwhile I assume the answer is yes.

ps. concerning the date of that post, I wasn't the one bringing that thread up. It was purely by accident that it contained the negation of what the poster (who did bring it up) meant. Myself, I would never have referred to you as an 'official' in these matters.
