Interesting. And the Playchess server doesn't detect this cheating tool?

Even if there are such clever cheating tools few people know where to find them. Personally I had no idea that such a thing exists.

Although I am not interested in playing chess online,I have information about thid "tool"....
Actauly it's a script written by a russian programer and it's used intensively by the Elo hunting freaks on the Playchess server and on ICC....as far as I am informed,it's exreamly hard to be detected by the anti-cheating online tools....
No,I don't have it and I don't need it as I prefer to play my chess engines or wipe the floor with my human opponents who dare to challange me....
