Good point. For rated games, you could place
a limit, so that the poor microprocessor is not so
vastly outclassed by us "speedy" thinkers, by
humans.

True. Especially with the lack of time limits, if I
want I can go to, say, chessopenings.com and
try -- I say TRY -- to find some info on what line
we are playing. Or I could crack open a chess
book or two; your program can't do that.

This is obviously a problem. Zebediah, for instance,
is clearly operating a decent chess program, against
which your Java applet has no real chance. I don't
have an answer to this problem; but if you wanted to,
you could arbitrarily "ban" players you believe are
"cheating", just as you quite arbitrarily do so many
other things.

True. So then, your reasoning is that two wrongs
make a right (that's incorrect math, by the way).

Oh, I have had all sorts of different margins by
which I was winning, only to be cheated one way
or another. I don't think it has anything to do
with /margins/.

But the game did not end in a draw; it was a win
for me! :>D
The way I see it, your Web site simply has the
wrong result recorded, and the wrong ratings as a
result. Even *if* the game had to be adjudicated
at that point -- let's say that WWIII broke out or
something crazy like that -- the correct adjudica-
tion was a win for me. I cannot be held responsible
if you and all your loony programmers are insane... .

I am not going to studiously avoid winning by
trading down to certain endings, just because
your Web site doesn't know the rules of chess.
Chess, you see, is a game, and in these we all
have to accept the actual rules-- otherwise we
can't play! It's like Mr. Kasparov, who decided
that the touch-move rule did not apply if he was
going to hang a piece-- or rather, thought he
was. That's not real chess.
