This forum has never been more lively. Just a couple of points as my two cents worth. There seems to be to many people obsessed with what the other person is or isn't using in order to play a good game of draughts, without trying to state the obvious if you feel people are cheating don't play them or get involved which is what I have done. I have played everyone involved in this arguement and personally can't tell a cheater from a proper player, both Ed and Ustica have beaten me but I have also managed draws against them which I know I wouldn't have got against computers as I am not good enough. So lets take people for there word as seeing as this is the internet we don't really have much else to go on. BTW..Ed also offered to play me in Philly last year when I visited which suggests to me he can back up his words. The second point is we should all work together in order to improve our game rather than turn yet another board into a slanging match.

Just my point of view. :o)
