How do you cheat at chess? If you got to grandmaster status, you already know what the best move in any situation is. I don't get it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27229787 These cheaters can get their titles even when they do not know the best moves. Their iPhone does know when it is hooked up to programs such as "Stockfish." Also there is a big difference after you become a grandmaster with rating points playing against the very strongest of them.

William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27229787 By using an engine like fritz, stockfish, houdini... the engine gives what it thinks to be the best move. Another chess master was caught awhile ago cheating with houdini and he got a slap on the wrist punishment wise... cheating really needs to have harsher penalties. |

I thought chess grandmasters were mind readers and psychics when they weren't doing chess. How could they not see in his aura that he was consulting an electronic thing? On the toilet too? Strip him of his title, deny him from the community, burn his possessions relating to chess. Exile him! Throw away his investors and consultants too! That is more than just "cheating" that is organized crime!!!! Take him to public, tie him to a post, whip the snot out of him. It's a board game and they're doing it in front of the Shekh! You never cheat in front of royalty, they get upset and start waging war on countries, or worse, your family, when you do that. What a disgrace! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27229787 The strongest chess engines are now much stronger than the best humans.
