Great idea knob. I haven't played a game of chess against a computer since 1979. Can't remember if I won or lost.
I'm very curious. In the mean time, could you explain to me what a chess "engine" is?

Oh wait! I think Ole' John is going to come up with a quote here in just a moment.
Frankly, I don't care if one uses an "engine" or a crystal ball or voodoo or anything else to play chess. So what? What's the big deal? I don't consider it cheating. If that's the problem. I really don't see how one can cheat at chess anyway.
Using a machine to make moves for you is cheating.

There you go again Johnny boy! I said I didn't care if they used any method to play the game.

But I just don't care if someone uses an "engine" to play against me. You see, it has the stigma of being more challenging.

No I didn't.
You are going to try and misrepresent what I said again today aren't you?
Go for it.

In your post you actually write the words " But I just don't care if someone uses an "engine" to play against me"
There are your words.
The prosecution rests your honour.
