You almost sound like this moron I played against on blitz who said I was cheatinge since I read his mind because at the moment he realize I had a move that forced the capture of his queen I took the move. Doesn't that sound ridiculous?

Its almost like saying the human mind cannot duplicate the accuracy of a chess engine.

It is posible That in some combinations human and engine moves could be the same, but in certain positions in wich you only do a complemental move to a better pisitional game, or more agressive, or more defensive game, it is almost imposible that the moves are the same.

I know this because I was analysing some games with some of the stronger players here in my city, after we finished, we let fritz analyze all the games(5 in total), and almost all the posibilities we could see were totaly diferent than fritz.

I agree. This website is not stable quite a few times and RHP is better managed. Only good feature of that website is we dont have to keep on refreshing the page to know if its our move. 'wait for ur turn' thingy is a good one. otherwise it often gives us 'page can not be displayed'

GameKnot is overpriced and the owner is capricious in the enforcement of certain policies. The site design has a number of elementary flaws (hidden forums, time remaining not displayed next to game board, reliance on browser refresh, etc.). Nevertheless, GK was a leader in turn-based chess and is still a good site. Five years ago it was a terrific site; now there are several better ones. To state that GK "sucks" or the like is absurd.

Of course RHP is far better than GK, although the database features here remain underdeveloped. The forums here are among the most open and informative chess forums on the web (despite the fact that 60% of the posts are pure garbage).

(Note on bias: I was kicked off GK for reasons that were never made clear.)
