Detecting Chess Cheats Taxes Computers

First time accepted submitter jeffrlamb writes "Cheating in live chess matches — fueled by powerful computer programs that play better than people do, as well as sophisticated communication technologies — is becoming a big problem for world championship chess. Kenneth W. Regan is attempting to construct a mathematical proof to see if someone cheated; the trouble is that so many variables and outliers must be taken into account. Modeling and factoring human behavior in competition turns out to be very difficult."

Simple

I'd just use the CoD system for cheat detection. If they beat me, they cheated. Simple enough.

Chess is obsolete then. Better to pick a game where people can still beat computers.

Stupid whiny taxes computers

I don't see how detecting chess can cheat the taxes computers. Our detecting chess should be none of the taxes computers business, IMO.

More of the usual bitching I've come to expect from taxes computers. Big complainers, them.

If that's the case, just have the computer play Computer vs Computer.
