Cheating issues

Recently I reported a case which I still think was a clear example of cheating. Guy was playing fast for complex moves, slow for obvious ones, was finding too fast engines first moves and don't making mistakes, except in particular moments when I think he was playing for himself to try to throw off cheating detection... it was like playing stockfish and a 1800 player intermitently. I don't report people for cheating often, might have done it less than 10 times. Most cheating refunds I got were done without me suspecting the guy was cheating. So I don't get what is the lichess anti-cheating method... I don't trust it anymore. The best I can do is trying to improve my chess and feel sorry for the guy that is fooling himself. (and in some cases earning money by showing his students his online rating- so it is not so harmless as people might argue)

Time shifters - too many - real chess? Where?

Camera observation in familiar territory? Wtf! Never give private information to third parties. My home is my castle, is not just a useless phrase.
Never play chess online against people, is the best prophylaxis against cheaters. Oops, then I have no ratings. Sorry, almost every chess engine offers rated games. Online chess platforms are good for exchange of opinions and learning tools. Play chess there? Why? Is it Elo fetishism or vanity?
Mephisto, Fritz, Rebel, free engines... play badly or godlike on request.

If registration was done with confirmation of identity and cheaters had at least 1 month ban, then 3 month for second and a year for third one... that could do the trick. But no way lichess would implement this, it's too much work.

Not that it's too much work but it would be revealing your identity which some do not want.

@rokoroks Identity could stay unrevealed, just some mods would have access to this. But I guess implementing this is not practical for a free website...

Fast feedback: Time to time I get messages about losing to a cheater and getting refund. It would be better if I could see who was that cheater, and which game it was. These days I play a lot, I can't find it among that many games. Cheers

What use you would have knowledge who as he/she wont be playing again?

@Karagialis Go to your profile. Click on the time control you lost in, use the sort function to show only games you lost, and set the max number of moves to something reasonably low. I noticed in rapid in particular you had a really rough run against a lot of now flagged/closed accounts. It was simple to see without even sorting due to the number of games. As the person above mentions, I'm curious as to your motive for wanting to know who it was. Curiosity to review the game, some sort of closure, knowing which games to cut from the DB if you ever export them? For bullet, the last person you played to have their account flagged seems to have been three weeks ago and the last blitz game where the opponent's account was closed seems to be two weeks ago. How many notifications have you gotten for blitz/bullet refunds?

I'm playing bullet and have the following observations:

1) I'm having relatively good scores against "Strong players" (2200...2400),
while quite bad against weaker (< 2100). It's not just a feeling, my "chess
insights" give me 1.9 for "much stronger" and 0.3 for "similar or weaker"
Sure, there can be a lot of reasons (psychological ?!) explaining that, but....

2) When I'm analyzing my games with Stockfish, it appears that even very strong
players are blundering...less than me, but blundering !

3) On the other hand, it is very common that weaker opponents don't make a
sole blunder, just 1-2 inaccuracies, possibly one mistake (as a consequence that
they need to play some more moves to win)

4) ...and it is strange to find players rated something as 2100 in bullet and not
even 1200 in classical

So yes, I think there is some cheating
