If you don't want to play a computer, then noplay them. If there were a billion computer players connected and one hundred human players, I don't see how there could be a problem, because you still have the right to pick and choose. I think that cheating is a problem, and probably cannot be eliminated. I feel sorry for the cheaters, mostly. What sort of low self-esteem must these people have to cause them to lie and cheat to gain the hollowest sort of victory? Personally, I like to play against computers. But I have never actually used FICS or ICC to play a chess game. I'd rather just play them on my PC. While the thought of 1000 gnuchess machines playing against 1000 gnuchess machines seems kind of silly to me, if that is what people want to do, why not let them do so?
