Mateulose, with all due respect, reguarding your post, it will do no good, running the openings on Fritz, Shredder, Junior or Crafty, simply, all of these engines have 100,000+ openings that means, these engines have the most basic to the most advanced openings, use your dice for example, person A has a 100,000 phase dice, player B has the exact same dice, play A rolls, a 12, player B rolls a 12, now you are telling me that because player B rolls the exact same number, that he is cheating? If this is not pursuading enough, then picture this, the player openings with the same 5 moves as Fritz would you think, well, I know for a fact, Fritz has 300,000+ middle games, there are many more options that Fritz has to choose from, and every time, Fritz will choose a different middle game, just takeing your percentages and putting it to use.
Now lets say you suspect someone of useing Fritz, how are you going to do this? Someone who is undefeated? Lets say Garry Kasparov comes to this site, and plays a few games, no one on this site will beat Garry Kasparov! First off, you say "I have 3 days per move to think what I want to play." well Kasparov has the same, what im saying is there is no "clear" way to detect someone is cheating, you can argue that all you want, but ask anyone that has as much experience as me, they will tell you the same.
