** The use of chess-playing programs is not allowed ** ** unless you have a (C) label. "help computers" explains. **
The standard blurb you see when you log onto "The Internet Chess Club" ... under "Blitzin."
(Nearly EVERY Chess server has a statement of this type that you see when you first log on.)
See the article - about cheating - in the April, 2004 ... of Chess Life.
See this article
on the CB server. It is VERY good,
very honest, and contains history as well.
(He does not tell you which servers they are
cheating on, except for the fact that he DOES mention Yahoo ... where the
cheating has
really has gotten out of hand. But still, it is an extremely
well-written piece about the current state of cheating on the Internet
2/'05)
I just wanted to write an article ...
This page no longer exists ... apparently some found its content objectionable.
My old site (http://www.angelfire.com/games3/AJs01Downloads/index.html) was deleted, and it was these pages that was given as the reason why. Apparently this server will completely protect other's rights to speak out. (It's OK if they bash me, I can show you hundreds of pages where they do exactly that.) Its NOT OK if I list cheaters. Apparently the (little) boys at ICC and PlayChess were behind this, and all of their buddies - who certainly also are cheaters.
I will state categorically that the large MAJORITY of the players - that I personally have encountered - on these two servers cheat like crazy. Period, QED, and end of story.
If the fact that my old site was deleted makes you mad, please send a scathing e-mail to the parties responsible, and let them know of your displeasure. If you would like to see these pages, whole and undeleted, I can send them to you as an attachment to an e-mail. Saturday; May 13th, 2006. (E-mail me ... to get the original article.)

Not only is it possible to CHEAT on ICC, here is an article PROVING that their server is full of holes, (unsafe); ... and completely UNSECURE. (The exact, same article ... but as HTML, in case you cannot open an Adobe document, or do not have this program.)
The
USCF and its partner USCL,
{finally} address
the subject of cheating.
(For a long time, the USCL denied anyone was cheating ... or that
any problem existed.)
