when someone is paranoid, that fear is NOT sufficient evidence that another person is not trying to hurt them...
If No1 and others on RHP are interested in keeping RHP "An Engine-Free-Zone," this is good! there ought to be at least one good chess site that is free...
I have seen a few threads (now removed for naming a name) where the stronger player lost the game by a series of bad moves and claimed "engine... engine..." I was able to comment on one game in one thread before the thread was deleted. just because a few sour grapes falsely accuse someone is NOT evidence that all accusations are without merit...
However, if YOU do not feel that the focus here on eliminating engine use is appropriate, there is a wonderful site run by IECG where the powers-that-be DO NOT CARE ABOUT ENGINE USE, since they do not consider enforcement of a ban to be worth the effort...
1) If you are simply trying to point out the "error of our ways" and provide enlightenment, DON'T BOTHER.
2) If you are using an engine: while on RPH, "just say, NO!"
While I consider myself new to RHP, I subscribe and enjoy having fun playing. Well..., I am not really "playing", but am working hard at having fun... only a little talent, primarily skull sweat, databases and books...
