Yahoo Chess Booster

Post by matematiko »

There is an interesting page with three different type of Yahho Chess Boosters (for those used to pogo: Booster=Padder).

http://www.futureedge.com/Yahoo/baloney_mahoney/progz/

Since at the moment I am not interested on playing, I did not downloaded neither tested any these boosters. Use at your own risk.

Regards,
Using engines to cheat:
- It is not ethical,
- It is useless, nothing is gained (how can one be proud of a score earn with dishonesty?)
- You will be baned, sooner or later,
- It gives us (the true chess engine players) a bad reputation.

Well, I do not play Auto Chess now, but someone told me that he was having a hard time getting other to plsy with him because of his low rating, as you know Yahoo gives you 1200 points to start. So, this was a good way to start, but all this matter no more since Yahoo Games is phasing out to a new Yahoo Games.
