Cheating methods

@SvenLarsson said in #18:

There are also chessassist and chess master, and chessvision extensions, where players set an elo close to their own level and play only certain recommended moves, when they need just a little help.

Chessvision.ai is not a cheating tool and we don't support cheating in any way whatsoever. The extension itself is designed in such a way that it makes it super easy to any website to detect whether somebody is trying to use it agains fair play policy. Disclaimer: I'm the creator of Chessvision.ai

Whether you support or not the cheating is as relevant as cigarette manufacturers supporting or not smoking. There are videos out there showing how your app is used to cheat.

If anyone can be creative in useful things, they can also be creative in useless things such as finding online chess cheating methods, just go to any online store that sells chess soft or hardware, it's easy, just copy the moves, and build in a couple of guess moves, and your on your way to being blocked from playing.
Eventually you should come to the conclusion, it's not worth it.
Anyone cheating is a fake challenger.
I learned a long time ago, not to try to cheat, when I shuffled cards to my advantage, it's a big error to think your opponent is not going to notice...

I'm encountering players with thousands of games and years registered on Lichess who seem to be alt-tabbing after each of my moves, responding with the same cadence. If we get to the endgame and they are low on time, that strange alt-tab, reflected in the green light briefly turning red, stops happening. Their quality of play when they're doing it is usually impeccable. I'm not accusing anyone of cheating, I'll just say that at the level I play and almost always playing 2+1, this wasn't happening so frequently half a year ago. It's starting to bother me a bit.

By the same argument you could agree that anybody working on Stockfish, or produces kitchen knives also does so. I just clearly wanted to state that this is not the intended way of using the apps and that we are actively working together with chess website to block such attempts
