> Claudio do you mean that you can cheat at 1/0?
Does 1/0 mean one minute for all moves, no
additional time for a move?
Yes, if you use Shredder and play at playchess.com,
you can use this option, but I think it is not cheating,
because actually your choosen move is done,
_before_ you see the move of the opponent,
so if your guess was wrong, you are in deep trouble.
I was not able to play myself 1/0 on playchess.com
because of the large lag I had playing there, inspite
of a high-speed Internet connection -
I just lost much time due to the lag and therefore
had no chance to win even if doing all the moves
immediately, but I played often 3/0 or 3/1.
If you use this option, only the clock of
the opponent consumes time, not yours, so if he
is not able to use the advantage he has because
of your not optimal moves, he will loose on time
or beeing under time pressure start to do stupid
things himself and then you can take over, use
time yourself a checkmate him.
I think, that playing 1/0 you have no chance if you
have to perform all your moves _after_ you see
what your opponent did, because it is impossible
to perform all necessary moves within the minute
(especially if you have some lag) if you are not a
world champion in performing fast mouse moves
and clicks.
Any hints how to avoid, that lag and the time one
needs to move the mouse is counted as ones own
time when playing at playchess.com? I would
_love_ to be able to play 1/0 having a chance
to win.
