Do you know how successful these "playing style" detection programs are? I wonder how many times you have to play before a pattern emerges.

In chess, the detection programs are extremely accurate, because all information is available to evaluate "optimal" play in any single game.

In chess, there are also fairly obvious situations that come up that show, almost beyond any doubt, that a player is cheating with a computer. Mainly, it happens when there are two or more moves that will give a player a winning game. One of these moves will be obvious, simple, and decisive - that's the "human move." The other is the beginning of a complex combination that is very hard to analyze, but which a computer evaluates as slightly better - say +5.4 pawns instead of +4.8 for the human move. If a person is making these "computer moves" in situations where obvious and winning human moves are available, it's one of the clearest signs they're using a computer.
