Cheat the cheater!

I have a suggestion to help combat cheating on lichess.

Once a player is identified as a cheater, lichess should send him some chess bots that would pretend to be human players. That way the cheater will be kept busy for much longer. The cheater would be cheated and maybe he would spend months playing against engines only.

I think that's a fair and elegant solution. Make the cheater play only against engines; let him be happy indefinitely while we, real chess players, can play real chess without those annoying cheaters.

I'm a programmer and I know that can be done. You can even make the bots chat from time to time. If programmed the right way, the bot can play similarly to a real person. Let the cheater win some games so that he won't suspect anything. I know it might sound a bit extreme but cheating is growing rapidly and sooner or later sites like lichess will have to come up with new and more efficient solutions. Cheating is getting ridiculously frequent and it's high time to think about new solutions.

Ok, this is a good idea.

Hahahaha

I am behind this 100%.

interesting idea. like it.

Very interesting solution

Wow, so cool! Will this happen?

Well, these ideas aren't new. I suggested from time to time to pair them against each other. What a fun!

But how to prevent that they choose innocent victims and inflict damage on them?

dont be a stupid, it is well known that 80 percent of games at liechess are won by flagging,

this server itself a cheat service compensating games, you know what it means server manipulates clocks.

most used cheating tool is LAG SWITCH which floats database of this server with monkey moves to reduce time assuring cheaters will flag opponent with lag compation. so 80 percent of liechess data base is full sheety nonsense games not worth to mention.

What, only about 5% are cheaters?

That is just not true #8.
