I cry foul, and hope against hope that powers that be fight the good fight to try and stop this

> While I wholly support your conviction that cheating in online chess not only makes the game terrible for everyone but is incredibly silly, I don't really think that there are many cheaters on lichess. Honestly most of the time I lose it's because I miss a move in the continuation or misevaluate the position and some people don't have the same blind spots. Does that mean they're cheating of course not. Do I care if they're cheating? I personally wouldn't get too flustered if they were; they outplayed me regardless. One needs to stop caring so much about that little number next to your profile and just enjoy playing and learning the game because, at the end of the day, chess is completely meaningless anywhere other than a chess board and is a game most people simply play because it's enjoyable. If you no longer find it enjoyable, simply take a break.

Thank you for taking the time to offer me a bit of insight.
Yes, I am a bit high-strung, as wearing my emotions, isn’t easy, but it hurts horribly, to finally make a personal achievement, then lose it ... catastrophically (like getting my board drenched, and my board is on mah tablet)... one then must ask oneself 8D... what kind of GM would I be, in the light of how badly I would like to walk around with my chest out, with a little swagger... 8D with a big EGO...
I would probably be a horrid little man, looking down on my pawns as if they are beneath me, ordering my king to do horrendous things, making my knights hate me even more than they do...
Perhaps it is good that I learn a little more about myself before I gain too much hot air in my head.
A little or a lot of humility can change a man.
perhaps my bishops will feel sorry for me and perform some sort of clerical miracle...
Perhaps my rooks will forgive me for letting them get into terrible scrapes...

I appreciate this and why should I get so wrapped up in mah losses to the point I lose even more...
I began playing 30 minutes in hopes of slowing my play down enough to get a good look at the board, it has been weeks since I began my classical journey and still haven’t been able to slow myself down...
Watching chess streams gives me plenty to think about while I play, 8D and I still go after half baked ideas... then blame everyone as if it isn’t me who done dug the hole I find myself in...

I love the spectacular and fashion my play towards “how cool would that be” disregarding any principles I have gleaned from the masters I enjoy watching, rushing headlong into battle, 8D then I’m surprised it didn’t work...

Of course, I should take less time in rushing my position, and more time imagining my ideas in-play, trying to “see” if they would really work, before I actually commit myself...

I understand chess is hard work and being only 204 squares, not really an overwhelming amount, like an addict, I find myself promising that I will take my time and consider what I have wrought...
If I took half the energy I have taken to rant about not being my fault, “it must be the big cats on the savannah , and not me surely”
I have a lot of work ahead of myself before I go prime time 8D ...
Just imagine me wigging out at a tourney hall instead of LiChess forums, certainly they will have that nice buckle jacket and van waiting outside just for me...

Again, thank you for taking the time and giving me a moment to consider, what it is exactly, that I want out of chess, and as you put it “ chess is completely meaningless anywhere other than a chess board and is a game most people simply play because it's enjoyable. ”
I play chess, because I love it...

Hi @ummmwhatever how is it going 8D
Long time and thanx because a little validation really goes a looonnnnggg way 8D

Heheheh yeah, I get up to posting ....

@Acerb8 bro just chill cheating cannot be stopped it just can be minimized. By the way not everybody have much time to use engine and cheat in chess. Even if they are cheating they did not get anything you just stop thinking about them and try to improve in chess or just enjoy the chess. Final thing play otb you will not find cheaters there. There is no other way to avoid cheatres. Chess and chill....

@Acerb8 If anybody cheats or uses assistance, it is their loss. You're practicing and improving your skills. Or you could just play offline chess........on a lighter note, admire your ability to type so much :D.

This is a long forum.
=>[Writing clear, and short will captive more people to be more cautious about what you said.]

On the actual subject: #1> Yes, that's right. There's no point using assistance, in the end, this will be your loss anyway.

Hell @AbdulSamee909 ,
Funny thing, although some have alluded to this very same thing, it had not even dawned upon me, the enormous effort that one would need to be applied to support my speculation that all I play are cheaters, I see, that they would need a bigger reason than just me to dupe, 8D...
Thank you, this is really appreciated, like a nudge, to get one’s glance, out the window of a train to see a moment of incredible beauty, something not soon forgotten 8D

Why thank you @Kabir_08 , that was a really niice thing to say (two “I”’s means it’s greater than just a simple nice) , sometimes being loquacious can be something as simple as a compliment where the object is not to disarm but to instill self awareness, yes, it is not an easy thing to notice what is special about any moment in life, especially when one is going through emotional despair, where one’s crying face allows for nothing save the cry,

Thank you @Kabir_08
8D thank you
@Acerb8

Cry me a river.

Ha! That’s like telling a starving person to slow down the food will still be there after they breathe,

But, I get it, sorry to be long in prose, one can never be sure that an idea has been expressed in it’s entirety.
However, with a simple, short, and concise missive, allows for those whimsically written ego infused responses that propels one’s angst into higher orbits.
Thank you for suffering the burden in getting to the end of my tirade.
As asking of crying person to simply “cry” without all the emotional draining a good cry offers... inhibits the cry and had the cry not been cried this tale of woe I push out, would just not have been made, (had I thought about what I was doing, enough to write simply, I would never have begun this and we wouldn’t be here at this moment 8D ...
Again thank you @Girls_play_chess
