Wow... only a few thousand more and me and Akizy will be goin head to head 😛. That's pathetic that people can bring themselves to cheat on a chess site that has no real reward for winning. So stupid. Good job for catching these guys, idiots.
Edit - I mean the cheaters are the idiots 😛 😀
One thing I find really impressive is that top guys like Akizy and them are actually able to "routinely" beat these engine users. That's pretty incredible. Lets say fritz plays at it's claimed 2890 (or something like that) elo. I suppose that means these top players are actually playing at that level or better without engine help, that's impressive.
Deep Fritz runs on an intel core 2 duo processor (99% sure)... that computer is available for purchase by anyone. I would assume if you owned that computer you're playing at a 2890 level.
and the cheats will most likely let the engine run only for a short while on any single move, which will produce quite a lot of small mistakes. especially in positional games.

I am on such a computer at the moment, so really, if I had that program I could use it and win all my games (although I assume its quite expensive)... but where is the fun in that? It seems to me that people who cheat have no personal pride.

I got mauled in two games by tension84 last month. The games were short and not so sweet (for me). As soon as the latest cheats get removed I should get to page three of the player tables. Not the first time I've been on Page 3, but I'm sure you don't want to hear about that.
Its hard to remember, but when Tension first started on this site he was barely 1700, i played him in a duel after he had been here for a month or two, and he was 1600, and he played horrible against me, and i beat him in both games...and then about a month later or so, his rating shot up over 2000+...must have been easy to spot??
