Quoting your first post in this thread: "ive been caught cheating before on playchess
but like 3 years ago i had a membership on icc. and i used chessmaster to play against a few players but i got caught right away.
So you want to say that you have cheated in ICC not in Playchess? What`s the difference where exactly you have cheated?[/b]
playchess and icc are bascially the same thing. i got into chess like 3 years ago. i wasn't very good to begin with. anyway at one point in my rookie year i decided to use the computer (chessmaster) against my opponent. but i soon found out i would not get anything out of these type of matches, on top of that i got caught. and have never cheated since.
i know in my original post i said i cheated on playchess... but i just said that not to confuse people and make up a big elaborate story.
bascially i learned that cheating dosen't get you any where you dont really improve your game. and like i said i haven't done it since.
but i've played at least one match on here where my opponent cheated. so i posted this forum and i soon found out that using engines was common practice on rhp. when i found this out it frustrated me and i didn't feel like having a membership here, so im totally against cheating.

i regret posting this fourm and getting such a negative reponse, but i just thought if using engines is alright on rhp then why not try to use an opening database to assist in learning different openings...
