@shallow-blue saidIt is all very silly indeed, although it doesn't make me even slightly upset if someone uses a computer against me. I wouldn't know anyway as I almost never check my games with a computer. The ones I do check are less about discovering whether my opponent cheated and more about disabusing myself of my delusions of accuracy in games that I thought I played well.
