Ah, ok, I didn't realise that. I thought it logical that a programme is only as good as the person who makes it. Obviously not! But I'd still like to steer away from getting personal about Sumerian. He hasn't deliberately cheated, but he has brought a new situation to light which needs resolving. It could do more for the site if peoples suggestions/ideas can be discussed without accusations.

If it was added to the rules that a programme may be used only in certain tournaments - or if previously agreed upon with an opponent - would that do any good? I know I wouldn't know if I was playing a person or a programme in most games.
