thanks Hexis, it clarifies a lot ! I wish I knew it before :)

why cannot I play Qh2xb8 in Czech Checkers (Dundee vs. mangue) ? at move 27black ?

Gabriel Almeida: Why doesn't Fencer do anything

because there is nothing to do, afaik, it is impossible to detect if someone use a computer here

sure I understand, I hate cheaters too

but you can do nothing, just keep playing with your friends

I better play against a human with computer as against a human accusing me to be a cheater if I win. I second Purple argument, do not miss respect to your opponent.

If you want to avoid cheaters, try to play some exotic variants like parachute checkers or anti-checkers, there are surely very few efficient program there!

 

Or try to play with some opponents you trust and who trust you and add the cheaters to your blocked users list

sobek: I am totally agreing and this very certain that computer is a problem in "offline" site. This is also the main reason why I hardly ever play chess, unless I know my opponent in real life and trust him.

On the other hand, it is hopeless to get rid of computer assisted opponent. You can write code of conducts, etc...

An opponent playing only the computer moves would be bored quite quickly. However, if you do "study" with a computer, it will be almost impossible to detect.

Also, I am sure that you use a computer to play here at least to make your move and talk on the forums ;-)

of course I want to have human opponents too, but it is my opponent who decides, and I cannot change it

thanks sobek for not saying stupid
you seems to be certain to know who is playing with computer and who is not, so probably you know how a computer is different. By the way, are you a human or a computer

cheaters are definitely annoying, but it is at least as annoying to be accused to be a cheater by a loser as to be beaten by "program"

wtg fencer!

it would be an enhancement to be forced to take the most pawns

it is then too easy for one player with one queen to draw, for example by playing a1-h8-a1-h8, which draws even against 12 queens !

my problem is that I often do not read the rules without enough care! Then I get surprised LOL

I have been quite surprised by this rule actually, in "french checkers", you must capture the most pawns possible. That is, if you have one move with one capture, and one move with two captures, you have to play the move with two captures.

Ok, regards
