Lie detection for chess

What actually has to be done is to make laws, at least to OTB competitions that make cheating (when playing for an economic prize) a criminal violation, with a minimum of 6 months in jail, scaling according to the prize.

They shouldnt be only in chess. Just wait for a few to get a decent sentence and the rest will think twice.

Don't forget the high-sensitive-vibration-detection on the player's seat ;)

If each chess player could go through a yearly polygraph test, it might build a general chess profile of the player.
The questions would have to remain chess orientated, related to the strategy used during the game and if they receiving assistance by other means. Sometimes a persons face is all that's needed to distract us or help us in a chess game.

A few specific strategy questions could reveal things about the game or the player's intentons.

1. What was your strategy behind this game ? To draw the game, that's all I needed to get a prize.
2. Did it take longer than expected ? Yes, but I succeeded in making a fortress.
3. What moment was the point of no return? During the middle game there was lots of exchanges and the compensation was not enough. So the damage or advantages became overwhelming and irreversible.

Winning someone rated higher that our selves needs an explanations. How was is done? A chess analysis is insufficient. With logical questions and honest answers, it completes the games with strategies to be saved for posterity.

The polygraph doesn't work. It's a superstition.

Even if the lie detector test was AI built like a cheat detection system, chess players would probably never agree to take the lie detector test. It would be like letting an AI drive your car while you sleep. Until it's permitted to sleep in the drivers seat while being driven by an AI, the AI lie detector test will only help build a soft profile of the person.

Would the multiple-choice guilty knowledge tests (GKT) help an AI discover if a player was using assistance? The AI would analyse the game and then question the player of his intents for the least human responses to a move.

It seems to me, that different types of lie detections could be used for OTB tournaments or online chess tournaments.
Question the players (before & after) similar to an airport lie detection. Maybe even monitor the players during a chess tournament like using a web cam that's monitoring eye fluctuations.

Could heart rate & blood pressure be uploaded to a chess site, using an intelligent watch?
Are GM chess players watched enough on camera to detect eye fluctuations?
Are there any open-source lie detection systems?

Maybe all the above could complement a cheat detection system, if needed.

Do you think an AI lie detector for chess is science fiction?

That would not work as all of these change in games as players get more excited or nervous.

Lie detection in chess is impossible for reasons of unconsiderable doom.

I liked the link in #16. Has anyone read it? AI monitoring eye movements is probably a good future for online rated chess games.
The webcam just needs to be approved by the user to be able to play a rated tournament. No webcam monitoring the eye movements would mean no chess rating.

@Toscani i think you’ve watched too many sci-fi movies.
