The future of chess - robot trashes man
The other day I was playing on Chess.com, against some guy whose name I won't mention here.
Anyway the guy is trouncing me, and during the middle of the game, a pop-up message appears, from an admin called Eric.
He asks me "do you find something suspicious about your opponent?" to which I replied, "yeah he's obviously a computer"
I mean this was 12 at night and it had been a long day, so I was probably easy to smash me up in any case.. but it was fairly obvious from the way he was playing that he was using a computer.
It wasn't so much that he was playing well, it was more a case of the way he was playing. There's a noticeable difference between the way a computer plays and a human, not just in strength but in the type of moves they tend to play. I've played against engines a great deal so I find these kind of cheats easy to spot. They play inhuman moves. Anyway I looked this guy up on FIDE and not only did he not have a title, he didn't even have a rating. I'm not saying I'm some sort of blitz genius, I'm an O.K. player for my rating, nothing more, but very few unrated players would be able to win a game against me, let alone beat me game after game.

Kevin's blog (parental advisory)
GM Bacrot, E (2749) GM Aronian, L (2801)
Round 8 (France vs Armenia)
1.Nf3 d5 2.d4 Nf6 3.c4 e6 4.Nc3 Be7 5.Bf4 O-O 6.e3 Nbd7 7.c5 c6 8.h3 b6 9.b4 a5 10.a3 h6 11.Qc1 Bb7 12.Bd3 Qc8 13.O-O Ba6 14.Bxa6 Rxa6 15.Qc2 Qb7 16.Rab1 axb4 17.axb4 Ra3 18.Rfc1 bxc5 19.bxc5 Qa6 20.Ne1 Ra8 21.Qb2 Qc8 22.Qb7 Qxb7 23.Rxb7 Bd8 24.Bc7 Bxc7 25.Rxc7 R8a6 26.Nd3 Rb3 27.Ne5 Nxe5 28.dxe5 Raa3
White is somewhat better, no doubt, but Aronian is not without counterplay. It appears the best White can do is force a Rook and Pawn ending a pawn up, but with drawish tendencies: 29. exf6! Rxc3 30. Rxc3 Rxc3 31. Rc8!+ Kh7 32. fxg7 Kxg7 33. Rxc6
