Need help solving a possible case of cheating
Posted: Mon Dec 23, 2013 3:55 pm
Dear friends,
As you may know, I gave up computer chess to dedicate myself to chess for the blind. I organize tournaments on Skype, and they are becoming more and more popular.
I suspect one of the participants of cheating. His behaviour is quite strange : he starts playing very good chess, and at some point offers draw, or even throws the game away, letting the opponent mate him for instance.
Here is one of the games (he was playing white) :
1. e4 c5 2. c3 d5 3. exd5 Qxd5 4. d4 g6 5. dxc5 Qxc5 6. Nf3 Bg7 7. Be3 Qc7 8.
Bd3 Nf6 9. Na3 a6 10. O-O O-O 11. Nc4 Nbd7 12. Bd4 b5 13. Nce5 Bb7 14. Re1 Rad8
15. a4 bxa4 16. Qxa4 Nc5 17. Bxc5 Qxc5 18. Bxa6 Bd5 19. c4 Bxf3 20. Nxf3 Ng4
21. Re2 Rd3 22. h3 Ne5 23. Nxe5 1/2-1/2
18.Bxa6 was played a tempo, which is not very natural.
Obviously, Houdini and friends are not involved, it must be some weaker engine. Who would be willing to do a search on this case?
Best regards,
