I think the whole problem is in the ratings.  People will stray away from
real chess and end up in a contest to see who can get the highest rating.
I also think people should stop whining and consider actually learning
something new, getting better, and actually getting good enough to beat the
computer. It's not impossible, you just have to realize that the computers
that these cheaters are using are not "unbeatable."
