Lol they cheat on a free Chess web site that charges nothing at all and isn't sticking it's users with ads and is just asking people to follow the rules.

Sounds desperate to use VPNS on a site like this.

Well, they are cheaters

answer D

IP bans is stupid.

I could easily use the same IP address as another user I have never heard of if I happen to be in a free wifi area when I'm playing and so is someone else, either at the same time or at a different time.

This could include a train journey where the railway gives their passengers wifi, or a cafe or shopping precinct.

So if someone has cheated in such a location you will ban everyone from playing there? And possibly also suspect they collude in some way?

IP bans could turn out to be pretty nasty. For example, I have a dynamic IP address. So at some point, I may log in and see that I'm banned; and if the vile cheater is me myself, then it will be enough for me to simply reload the internet connection (thus changing my IP) to continue playing further.

I think we could identify cheaters by throwing them into a lake and seeing if they float or not. If the cheater floats, then they're clearly a cheater and should be burned at the stake. If the cheater sinks and drowns, then they weren't a cheat after all and will be granted safe passage to chess heaven by Francois Philidor.
