Using a client with an AI is clearly cheating.  Using
a client just to keep track of moves, isn't.  A lot of
us copy our Zertz games to ZF1 (the best thing to
happen to Zertz since the expansion packs), and
similarly with our Trax games.  For that matter Paul
Wamelen's web interfaces are a type of client.

That being said, I don't think rewarding making
multiple moves makes much sense!
