Good players are actually more likely to cheat than bad ones

Too much resource and reference, ratings push up, pressure make people finds an easier ways

That was just painful to read

why? because you cheat too?

Because it was a lot like listening to Russel Brand, there was a lot of talking but nothing was actually said.

so 1# are you saying that magnus carlsen is going to cheat now bc hes better than anybody in the world???

@TALLFOAMYANGEL. I am saying good players are more LIKELY to cheat than bad ones.
I NEVER said I think Magnus cheats.
Also not saying it's impossible for Magnus to cheat. I will get hate for this. But everything is possible.

@shadow1414 There is just no way Magnus or anyone who plays chess for a living cheats. Their reputation and career is on the line. Its like a major source of their income so its not worth it at all for them to cheat. I can see someone like maybe expert or class A player cheating maybe. I mean there was an instance when a GM cheat Im sure youd know who but that guy I dont think played chess for a living.

@Asian_Height_LOL. "There is just no way Magnus or anyone who plays chess for a living cheats". There are no guarantees in life.
I do think some games like chess are more prone to "bad" players cheating rather than "good" ones.
But that doesn't mean people who play chess for a living can't possibly cheat.

I don't get this

Cheating is most unlikely at World Chess Champinoship and Super GM events. Easy to safeguard. For large Swiss tournaments and international Team championship like Chess Olympics, cheating is possible.
