Subject: Re: Chessmaster

Well if we define "cheating" as:

someone is cheating in a game, if and only if he uses anything else except from his brain and his knowledge to play the game,

then anyone who uses a program is cheating.

With another definition it is not. By the way why you don't think it is not cheating? What is your definition of cheating?

But i would definitely call it cheating if the opponent doesn't know it and the other uses the help of a program to play Chess-Variant games.

Personally i don't care if my opponent uses a program to play Gothic Chess, since i can crush all available Gothic Chess program at correspondence Gothic Chess. But with Chess is different. Now that Chess programs started to prevail over humans at this area too(correspondence Chess), i find it unfair, if my opponent used a program without me, knowing that.
