to win or not
Hi everybody! I really do NOT unterstand, why the ones with the title of masters, and up, are challenging the most weaker? And another strange confusion, it makes me completelly confused: why the chess is totally out of control? Why doesn't anyone cares about the mass cheating? Are we in the hell here?
Hello Eugen2, 
It is up to each player whether they want to accept the challenge of a much stronger player or not. 

If you believe that someone is using a programme and does not have the small red exclamation mark behind their nickname, you can report them using this link.  --> 
https://games.flyordie.com/s/reportAbuse.html?portal=flyordie_com&lang=en.
 

In order to assess the situation properly (and take necessary action) the moderation team requires an immediate report of each occurring incident, via the report abuse feature.

Here an excerpt of FlyOrDie's Rules of Use: (

 )
...
Using a computer to decide your moves in a board game (specifically chess, checkers, reversi, gomoku, nine men's morris, go, four in a row, pente and backgammon) on FlyOrDie is allowed.
FlyOrDie members have the right to know if they are playing against a computer. Therefore FlyOrDie uses a system - including analysis of client computing environment - to detect suspected program use, which will be indicated on the concerned player's info screen with a small icon. 

Kind regards,
John

That exclamation red mark,it is shown to very few of them, most probably the honest ones. Yet, the mass volume of cheaters, is so huge! They are using all levels of programs, in stead of playing chess as normal human beings. Anyway, that coefficient number that should mirror their real skills, is useless. There is no competition in a regular game. If they join a tournament, maybe that coefficient it is legitimate. But, to cheat, just to increase the coefficient, is patheticaly embarrassing...What kind of a mind can think that, cheating is the same as winning?
