lichess is dying

I know there is a report form, I used it quite often.

My account exists since the 13th of july 2014, and I have never encountered as many cheaters as now.


this one is just hilarious, he's just shitting on this website, does not care to get banned cause he has the satisfaction that he managed to piss me off.
He did not deign to play a single move as long as I had still one minor piece against a whole computer army.
I'm very mad cause i could not flag this kid.
I'm really curious : how many cheat reports do you receive a day ?

Guys who leave the page at each moves, I mean instantly to check their engine, should instantly lose their game.

For me, this just seems like black played a good game, exploiting quite a few bad moves from white. Doesn't seem like a cheater at all, but what do I know..

That person was marked as a cheater.

Yea, it appears that I was wrong :-) He wasn't marked when I checked out the game though..

Lichess is eternal.

Cheaters in every club. From what I can see, Lichess is doing as good a job as any to cleaning them out.

People wanna weed out cheaters even before they cheat, even so after their first move which is engine-boosted. How's that gonna work?

You need a couple of games, you report, cheaters get banned. Lichess works well in that respect, even so other servers.

Perhaps online chess just doesn't really quite work out from the start. Chess should be a psychological game played face to face where you could see each other's facial reactions (no matter how subtle).

Don't get me wrong, I love playing chess online because it's convenient but if you want to play a good game knowing that you are not fighting against a silicon monster, OTB is the way to go.

Also, I don't see the harm in playing against a computer assisted player once in a while. It's frustrating but I learn while he doesn't. Online ratings don't really matter, chill out and continue to have fun :)

p.s. Kudos to those cheat catchers out there. You guys are the FBI in lichess

I came over from Chess.com. From my experience Lichess have way more cheaters. I could be wrong though.
