Dear Sirs
I would like to sujest that you would have some kind of moderator or "obudsman" because certainly there are some players that are using some kind of machine as Fritz to help to analyse the games, that´s very harmful, you just don´t know with whom you are playing, a human player or machine... and that it is no fair...

There are many players Dodgers using this Fritz.
That's not fair.

|
I agree with you!

There must be people that cheats using programs, I personally haven't noticed that but think is very difficult to catch them and prove it, don’t know how a moderator can help, the best thing to do is take a look at your opponents statistics and games, that’s one of the reasons I have previously suggest to have improved statistics.

yes, the thing to do is take a look at your opponents statistics and games.

Back in the early 1990’s engines were playing at ~2000 which was about my level and when I realized at least half of my postal opponents were using engines, I resigned all the games and gave up chess.
In 2004 I returned to server play. Not much had changed except engines were much stronger and players using them were out of my league. Except for the few times I’ve met a player on the way to the top of the rating list engine users haven’t been a problem.
In this era engine use is a fact of life and there’s really nothing to be done about it. I say let people who want to use engines do so and let them, when they reach the top of the rating list, battle it out amongst themselves like the titled players do in their tournaments.
I know of one site that claims to have a foolproof way of detecting engine use and they are constantly on a witch hunt with every poor loser claiming he was defeated by an engine and even 1200’s have been banned. Putting out a dragnet for engine users will not eliminate them and only cause a lot of problems and controversy.
Another problem is that truly strong players won’t want to play because if they win a lot of games while suffering few losses people start slinging accusations.
