Have you any way of determining whether members are using 3rd. party assistance, such as chess programs etc.
One might argue that a possible (and obvious) clue is the extraordinary high ratio of players who almost never lose a game.
In real life, this never happens, even among Grandmasters.
Yours respectfully,
Dequeue.

If one 2400 rated player play against a 1800 rated player, it is more likely the first win. And if he keeps playing lower rated players, he can win forever.
And also, if you find two hight players that have 100% of victory, what happens if they challenge each other to a game? Someone need to lose, or draw may occur, but anyway, one lose its invincibility of 100%.
So, what is the point?
Sincerely yours,
Beco.

The point is, there is a way of detecting whether players are trying to cheat, regardless of their rating. Thus my question, does the Admin have any way of determining whether QA players are doing this?

dequeue,
If you suspect someone send me a private message and I'll investigate.

No, that doesn't interest me. I just wanted to know if there was any sort of automated monitoring going on.
