BETA is a way to cheat easily

(sorry for my poor english)

Hi, i think BETA is a really nice thing on this site, it helps in analysing a lot. but its also way for cheating. for example, when one plays a game, he can also look at the game in archive (with computer analysis). for example, he plays white. he make his move in both games (2nd game he just "analyses" and makes move on the board). opponent in 1st game answers, then this player make on 2nd board move for black (the same move as black did) - and turn on BETA, which offers a move for white. I think, it'll be much better if a player who plays a game in a current moment (even correspondence) can't even see BETA. He can use it only when he has 0 games playing. Thanks for reading

Worms crawl through dirt, but what does that bother my shoes?

^Best analogy that could be told.

End the thread.

I wouldn't be surprised if the positions we are examining in the local analysis were compared to our current games to avoid cheating this way. ;)

And guess what? I'm always watching. :P

What is BETA?

You can now make a move on the chessboard in a game and ask the computer to analyze it.

BETA stands for Brief Engine Turn Analysis...

Ah sorry about that! For the benefit of our OP and to add to what qkxwsm said, the local analysis is not *called* BETA it's *in* beta.
