blitz shield arena

Hello,

I was watching the blitz shield arena today, and during the last 3 minutes of the tournament playchess202020 was in the lead.

Then, miraculously, in the last minute some 12 points were deducted from his overall score, so miracle359 won the shield (no pun intended :).

Congrats to miracle, but i just think it is weird that points are deducted from a 'live' tournament score.

Apparently it has to do with playing cheaters, but the fact that your opponent cheats should not influence your score, i think.

Maybe one of the admins could be so kind as to explain what actually happened, and why.

Thanks for your help,

<3 Lichess <3
