Can I ask the lichess organiser to run cheating detection on a specific tournament?

Hi,

I am a club runner. We are organising tournaments with prize on lichess. We always got some players reporting that other players are cheating. But I never saw lichess reflect there is cheating in the games.

I have a few questions about cheating detection:

1. If cheating detection is running on all the rated games, how long it will take to finish the detection on a game?
2. Can I ask the organiser of lichess to run cheating detection on a specific tournament or a specific game?
3. Is there any open source code that I can download and run by myself to detect cheating?

Thanks for your help,

Henry

The cheat detection on a tournament takes around ~48 hours according to Lichess: https://lichess.org/page/event-tips. It runs automatically and it goes through a couple of games to make sure there was no cheating. If you want to ask them to run cheat detection on a specific player/game, you can use lichess.org/report. I don't think Lichess discloses the source code for cheat detection. I think this is in order to make it easier to avoid cheat detection, knowing how the process works. I hope this helps.

The code is available. I've never run it and I have no idea how hard it is to use.

Hi @Repiked ,

Thanks for the 48 hours information! I wonder if you have seen any cheating detected before? Especially in a tournament, if cheating is detected in a specific game, can I get any notice or is there a way to see it? Consider that I am the creator of the tournament.

Thanks,

Henry

Hi @jomega ,

Thank you very much for the link to the github project. I will look into it and see if I am able to run it myself.
