I think the million dollar question here is: Do I cheat at chess? No!!!!
Does cheating at chess accomplish anything for the cheater? No!!!!
The whole reason for learning and playing chess goes against the chess
cheat, the purpose and goal of improving oneself mentaly is an end in
itself. One cannot possibly improve at the game unless one learns to and
makes his "own" decisions at the board. The cheat, no matter what his
fantasys are, is lazy, and doomed to carry over all these faults into
everyday life. A most pitiful person indeed! I don't hate them, I don't
despise them, I pity them, because they will never truly appreciate the art
and beauty of chess!

"The search for the best move is a creative process, and demands more than a
knowledge of strategy and tactics, more than experience and knowledge of the
standard methods. It is in this process that a player shows his best
qualities: breadth of thought, boldness and creative ability." Alexander
Kotov.
