alms: you have asked me a question " Do you play with computer help? " same as you asked me if I am a cheater. My answer is " no, I am not a cheater"
The French Chess Federation suspends players accused of cheating, they found the evidents that the players were using outside help during the game. They called this is guilty of violation of sporting ethics .
Is computer help considered cheating? on any online game site or online turnbased site, because you don't know what your opponent is doing, it may not be a cheating at all. so many things people are doing here are not allowed in the real chess or chinese chess world. such as using computer program, looking at text book for reference, putting pieses on the board to find the moves by trail & error, move back, touch the piese and not move it etc......
I believe we are all doing it...are we all cheater?
(hide) If you want to play a game with an opponent of a similar level, you can define a required BKR range for a new game invitation. Then nobody with a BKR outside this range will be able to see/accept it. (Katechka) (show all tips)
