And if all have the knowledge about available programs, I think it would be easier to catch the cheaters and prevent the use...

Purple: ok, let's put a stone on km's grave, never forgetting the evilness of a few (5, huh?)... Now, back to the first goal, and I hope you do have a word to say... It is regretable to use programs in our games!  It's not honest and this should be inculcated in everyone's conciousness. We can't prove with certainty that someone used a program against us, but we can decline a game against someone if we suspect he's using a program. The only way I have to check if someone's using a program is to analyse all moves and make a comparison. and even so it's very hard, because we have to run several programs. So, back to beginning, unless someone has a better idea, its all a question of conciousness...

Purple: I wonder...Why did you posted that km comment, if I only wrote that I would like everyone to know what programs are beeing used in checkers and anti-checkers games, to prevent cheating? I know you're a good person and your subconscious send you a message to discard yourself from that regretable group...But, as Shakespeare wrote in Julius Caesar's play and you very well quoted: "The evil that men do lives after them..the good is often interred with their bones", I guess km evil is very alive, because some players are still using such programs...

Purple: lol...as the saying goes: "you missed a good opportunity to be quiet". As we all know, km gang had a reputation (how can I say this in a soft way?...) at least questionable. Or maybe praiseworthy for those who only seek win, regardeless the means to achieve it...For me, using a program is always regrettable and shows lack of principles.

I stopped playing regular checkers after finding that some of my opponents were using programs such as CakeManchester or Chinook to make their moves. So, I downloaded Cake Manchester, from Martin Fierz's homepage and now, when I want to play a good game, I do it against my machine. What I found a few months ago, was that Martin also developed a suicidal version for his Cake (here known as anti-checkers). I downloaded it too, and after playing some games against it, I found very familiar moves from games I had with two or three opponents, specially from ItsYousTurn.com. I surely hope that people will reconsider the use of such programs in their moves, or there will be no interest at all to keep playing those games here, against real players, when in reality we're doing that against a machine...



By the way, the site to download those programs: http://www.fierz.ch/checkers.htm
