You're falling back on the time clock defense?Originally Posted by zaa730
SOUDLY?? HOW BOUT HARDLY? he had 3 minutes, while I had 12 left. I had a pawn and a rook, while he had 2 pawns and a rook in the end game. Of which it ended up being a tradeoff.
So "soundly" doesn't cut it.
Yahoo chess is plagued with chess progs. If you're a regular there, you should know that. Progs that play those lightning 1-3 min games run rampant there. Thats precisely why I'd rather pay for sites like ICS than waste my time there.
You say you had 12 min left and he had 3. So what?
If I assumed both of you were cheating, I would speculate that you had an automated prog that obviously moved quickly since its a machine thinking and he cheated the old fashion way by having a chess prog run beside the yahoo game and he entered the moves manually on each of them. The deeper ply search and the fact that he entered moves manually gave him time trouble. Of course, this is all hypothesis and I'm not accusing anybody.
Thats why to really know if anybody cheated, I'd suggest you post the notation here so that it can be run through a chess program and see if the moves entered by either player matched the moves the prog would play.
Unless of course there's a special reason why you wont..
...if the offer is still on....and if u r not a gm,im or a state player i can give u a good fight in chess....
