these games were flagged by the system algorithm for suspicious behavior. upon further inspection, it appears you occasionally used a chess engine to help you play. this is not permitted, therefore
your rating was reset to its original level, 1200.

I never used the chess engine!

So what? I play the rating usually after a few friendly parties to exercise. And anyway, I thought that as programs (engines) are not wrong!?) I do not have a chess program, playing mostly with work,
sometimes it is possible to concentrate on the game, sometimes not, and from that the result is not always successful.
Generally, I do not understand those who fraudulently makes his rating in the head then there is nothing left after that. It is a pity that you consider me one of them ...

Engines are never allowed in games with other human players.

Whether you used an engine to boost rating/ego or to explore the game or whatever it is still not allowed. Even if you use an engine only 10 times out of 1000 your rating may still be reset.

Depends...in this case I agree. But engines can be used to check if the opponent is cheating, then it may not be considered as real cheat

I have the same problem. My rating was reset to 1200! I'm not using any software!

dr_aibolit Aug 1, 2012 3:57 PM #9

I dont see any cheating in this game.

The opponent played simply stupid.

Didnt see the rest.

Not a wonder that fritz found there no mistakes.
