Can anyone tell me what do i do when someone is using a chess program on me?
Edit - I should also add that in the 6 games you have in progress now, it would appear to me that none of them are cheating as the highest rating of any of your opponents is in the 1600's and he hasn't played perfect chess by any means.

I know that noone of my opponets is cheating i'm just wondering how do you recognise someone who is cheating,what do you do when someone cheats and what is the chess program...

At your grade the only players likely to be cheating are those that have never lost. Of course they could just be genuine strong players on their way up.

I sometimes have a feeling that some low rated players occasionally use a computer against someone better so they wont get caught doing it...

Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexRather a sweeping statement. Do you mean 1400 rated players that beat 1800+ rated players or 1800 rated players who beat 2100+ rated players?

It seems to be more 1400 players, it would be harder to know it if an 1800 player was using a computer as the quality of their play tends to be of a higher standard in the first place. But when a 1400 player plays a game completely free of mistake and wins fairly easily it seems pretty suspect.
Like this one time I played a guy called bishop of malburg and he didnt make a single mistake and played like a 2200 strength player in two games against me but lost some other games in the same tournament with some horrendous mistakes
