I suppose one has to presume some honesty. After all...what would be the point of being a go-between for another SI member and your program? In any event, I doubt it will ever be a big deal whether one person consistantly wins or not...it's not as if we're gambling with money or anything serious. Besides...a fair chess player will notice if his opponent has (or at least later, had) made a weak move. Presumably, a good chess program set at a high level would tend to play solid 'book' openings and rarely take much risk. Swapping, flawed moves, these are patterns that would show up at least once in a while with a human (unless s/he were very talented). I don't think there are many here that will waste their time with us if they are that good.
