No one knows? It is simply not true. Teams in charge of ensuring fair play on chess websites have a pretty good idea of how many people cheat on their platforms. A while ago chess.com actually disseminated some of that in their report on the alleged cheating of Hans Niemann. I made a thread about it half a year ago: https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/intersting-thing-is-hans-niemann-report-cheaters-are-rare-20

Firstly, I assume that you are responding to the discussion over gradient's game.
Secondly, I assume you mean to respond to the conversation about the (potentially) justifiable rook sacrifice.
Thirdly, I assume you mean ... RD1 was played.
On the first point, the black player attempted to open soundly.
On the second, as has been discussed in sister-threads: a point-for-point piece face-value exchange is not always a prerequisite for the relative quality of a move (not necessarily a blunder).
On the third, nomenclature is the tool for communicating the accurate movements of chess men.
Notwithstanding, accidental movements of pieces lays claim to the most important reasoning behind this site's provision of move take-back which, when used judiciously, provides a means of fair play.
Well bare with me for a sec, suppose 95% of people gave their lives up , to a false god and received the ' power' of gods and they are all cheating while us mere mortals are scratching around for the truth through our chess and playing. While the gods are saying don't be ridiculous there aren't hordes of cheaters, well why not ?, when most were tricked into going .
Don't worry I'll keep taking the pills lol, but could there be an even tincy wincy bit of truth that the gods, the immortals, are just a bunch of cheats and liars??!. All the best SOJB aka SchizoSi xxx
indeed there are no cheaters, just geniouses. I mean people are so stupid....

You're thinking about chesscom and not lichessorg.

There are cheaters. Just not as many as in your overactive imagination.

Of course I don't mean every player, but getting 3 or 4 players in a day is already too much. I'm think of just stoping chess for a while and playing only over the board where I can see my opponents
The problem with playing only over-the-board games is that there is the potential to loose pieces, damage your board, become distracted by your surroundings, experience the discomfort of inappropriately designed park benches, freeze to near rigidity in the winter and witness acta of inappropriate behaviour in communal public places.

But you won't be able to see their anal beads. I am not sure that OTB is going to help you with your paranoia.
