Rose: OK, I apologize. I will respect you as a moderator of this board. I promise this will be my last post on this topic, but I still have something to say.

First, cheating is a problem and IMHO problems should be discussed, not disregarded. And where to discuss cheating in Reversi, if not on a board about Reversi, especially if there is no board about cheating?

Second, 10x10 is a good method. Although there is a program that can play 10x10 very well (and it is almost unbeatable at 6x6), not many cheaters know about it (unfortunately some do). I still prefer Anti reversi because I don't know any reasonably good program and I have noticed cheaters don't play it.

Third, I agree it is hard to tell if someone is a cheater, but not impossible, especially if the cheater is not very careful. I really never accuse anyone unless I am completely sure. I beg you to compare these two games: http://brainking.com/cz/ArchivedGame?g=956421 (note moves g5 and h3, which are particularly tricky) and http://brainking.com/cz/ArchivedGame?g=946267 (note moves c8, d8 and even j9! and i1!, which are particularly bad). When someone (repeatedly) plays an 8x8 game with almost perfect midgame and perfect endgame, something begins to smell. And if his 10x10 game from the same period looks like beginner's, something is definitely wrong. The analysis of a few of his other 8x8 games, either from that period or recent, clearly shows that the perfect play of the mentioned 8x8 game wasn't accidental and unique.

Sorry Rose, but I had to. I never told anyone about any of the cheaters I met here, not even publicly. What made me do it this time was JB's "teaching".
