Thanks! I'm afraid I can't play tonight...how's tomorrow for you?

I'm not sure about tomorrow: it's GCSE results day and I'm going out with friends. Friday?

Ohh fair enough. Yup, Friday should be fine
And good luck for tomorrow!

I have just played a couple of games with someone, who i had to resort to anti computer chess in the second game, in order to beat him. Basically i was able to put him in hot water a couple of times, and he was able to come out with totally 'unhuman' moves, for example attacking from the clinch, whereas these are the kind of moves the engine will tell you, but not what you will play in natural play.

Then when i accused him of this he first laughed, then said he will never play me again. The fact that he played quickly and badly for much of the game, but always came out of hot waters with the right move, is a tell (poker term), a sure sign of cheating. i still beat him though. *Here is the game, see what you think.... BTW play the game through without engine analysis, to see your gut feelings to the position, before throwing the engine in. Computers can't play chess, only men (and women) do that!

obviously if you beat him he wasnt using a computer to cheat, because you are rated 1700 and even a very weak chess computer running on an iphone or something is 2300+

He was using it to assist his moves, especially when he got in the clinch (a tight spot). Please read my message above, for further explanation of why i think he was cheating, thanks.

Yeah, I don't see it at all. Almost all of his moves are poor so it's not clear which ones you think benefited from computer assistance. Applying Occam's Razor, I would expect that someone using a computer to assist them with some moves would just keep using it all the time.

Because if you use a computer... you are only cheating yourself in the end. Thanks.

The other thing about players who use computers to help of course, is that they may never make a 'mistake', yet they can lack oversight of the whole game, and so fail to spot basic tactical overviews in the endgame, as happened here.

moves 29 and 30, he spent a long time thinking over them, and then came out with the right move.

Plus afterwards, he said that he was ahead the whole game. But how would he know that, without using computer analysis?

But how would he know that, without using computer analysis? And i would have been in a much stronger position if i hadn't of moved my rook to his back rank.

But i still beat him. Because if you use a computer, you may be able to play the 'correct' openings, and get out of tricky situations, but you are only cheating yourself in the end. Thanks.

PS I should have kept my rook on my back rank, then i would have been in a much stronger position.

lol my chess.com rating is plummeting. Like 500 difference with lichess. I want to know what my actual rating would be..

Played through it and he looks like a beginner making more or less random moves at all stages of proceedings.*

I've found it's so much easier to win on lichess than on chess.com. It's easy to maintain 1800 on lichess but wouldn't be able to do that on chess.com. Idk if it's me or something because ok, the ratings on lichess are very inflated but I actually feel like I play worse on chess.com, it's weird...
