STOP cheating!

Cheating in online chess is like improving your personal fitness by hacking your performance record.

@Psyamb said in #5:... they switch on an automatic program that execute the rest of the moves for them.

Where do such programs exist? Is there a commercial program that can do that, or is it something people who know how to code make on their own?

I have played almost 3000 games and have never gotten any points refunded....

I saw a poll on youtube with something like 20k responses to "Have you ever cheated in online chess?" and "Yes" was about 17%. I think a good way to kind of avoid cheaters is always look at their games/join date/behavior or chat before the game or during and also don't give rms unless you know they are legit. A lot of cheaters have ego issues and will cheat if you beat them or just want to 10-0 you or something. Also, I agree with an earlier post about how hard it is to tell. I recently got refunded and looked at the game and it was a blunderfest. I think he cheated in other games but it is really hard to tell sometimes.... hopefully that erwin thing lichess uses keeps improving.

Thers one word for cheaters. Pondlife. That’s being nice.
