zone/chess

The  ones  that  go  into  the  zone  for sometime will, sooner or later,  be confronted  with a  serie of schemes  ( such as programs) made by persons with few scruples, to take advantage of the opponent.

The tricks most used are :

                            ·    use programs to play against the opponent, such as  fritz, chessmaster, etc

                            ·    interrupt  the connection to the net ( for not to loose )

                            ·    schemes to freeze or manipulate the clock, like draw offer and other

                            ·    programs to play with the opponent´s pieces, like the insane

                            ·    automatic interfaces between the programs and the opponent, like blizzard

                            ·    agree with other player(s) to give points or have two conections - "booster"-

This site intends to inform and unmask these persons, taking advantage of the reports of the users of zone and to test their abilities through the using of a powerful chess program called fritz 8.0.

 The tests are made to suspect players this way :

                 t1    -      5min  blitz game with fritz in tune to correspond  to rated FIDE  2100

                 t2    -      5min  blitz game with fritz in tune to correspond  to rated FIDE  2200

                 t3    -      5min  blitz game with fritz in tune to correspond  to rated FIDE  2350*

                 t4    -    10min  blitz game with fritz in tune to correspond  to rated FIDE  2300

                 t5    -    10min  blitz game with fritz in tune to correspond  to rated FIDE  2400

                 t6    -    10min  blitz game with fritz in tune to correspond  to rated FIDE  2550*

* the author of  this site counts  in  a  short  term  make an upgrade to  his  machine  to enlarge to this capacity of testing.

The players will be apreciated during the game due to their behaviour:

                            ·    profile  and  rating

                            ·    time spent for obligatory moves

                            ·    number of errors during the game

                            ·    middle game

                            ·    endgame

 The users tested are post in the following table, with this designation:

                 w – win against fritz    d – draw against fritz       l – loose against fritz                                                           s - suspect
