The post that was quoted here has been removedAn interesting read, although the USCF sanctioning of , 'technology we can work with',
reeks of complacency. The 'no hack took place', claims are irrelevant, clearly the mere
allowance of a PDA for recording moves, which can be recorded equally as well and
with more efficiency, with a pencil and paper is suspect. Call me a Luddite, but a no
electronic media stance would have stopped this nefarious activity in its tracks. I
suspect that as technology advances and especially nano technology, cheating will
become more and more difficult to detect. Those who do cheat are self delusional,
depriving themselves of both the personal satisfaction of winning and the joy of
learning from a defeat. The boys mother, in predictable fashion, displayed a
complete lack of objectivity, what is it with parents that blinds them to the flaws of
their own children?

Originally posted by greenpawn34I think the future may be those boards that record the moves automatically. Columbia Chess Club has two of those that they use on board 1 and 2 during the club championship. But right now the USCF requires each individual record the game also.
Pen & paper is the future,
