What is your "You lost to a cheater" percentage?

@lement Why do you think that game was considered cheating? It might have been some other game(s). Also, computer assisted does not necessarily mean flawless play or even good play. If a player opens up an analysis board in another window, that's marked as cheating.

The cheat detection team has a wide array of tools that go way beyond looking at the slash line of a game. You don't know why he was marked.
I don't think it was. Hence my wondering of how does one determine the %.
I only consider refunded games as lost to a cheater -- 1 out of 118 = .8%. I'm a ~1400 player so I don't even think about it. If they get away with it, they'll be out of my range in an hour. If they don't, I get the points back. Wait, shouldn't we get their points back as in they forfeited all their games? :)
How can you actually know for sure ?
I had strong suspicions about this man :



But he was clever as a cheater, and it seems he closed his account

This one however was not so clever :
He was identified and put in the cheaters pile.



Increase the level of your "cheated against" games by about 10 and you may be about right.
Lichess and all other chess sites are just being silly. They are all overun by cheaters, but none will admit it, and they all claim they have the best cheating detection.
Its absolute nonsense lol, but not of them is going to admit it, are they ?
One simple reason, none of others will... will they ?

Lichess and other servers are overrun by paranoids in the first place.

Lawn-mower mentality: you cannot get rid of so keep it short.

Better idea, @MsExeter ? Resigning?
@ CM Sarg0n

Oh Mr Sargon, is that right now ?
Might I suggest an alternaive.
Lichess and other chess sites are overrun by people who close their eyes and will not see what is before them, even if you produce evidence.
Its also the case that they are full of people who have some kind of motivation to defend each individual site, because of a personal link, such as being a contributer for example.

I make no claim that lichess ,or any other site is better than the others.

My simple "better idea" to you is to try taking your blinkers off and have a good look at reality, instead of seeing it as you wouls like it to be.

There is this gas called Oxygen ,its all around us, under normal circumstances we cannot see it, but I promise you, it is there, for those who care to look at the evidence.
Resign against a cheater ?? why ? may as well keep them waiting at least for their "win" dont you think ?
Lichess and other sites may well try their best, but are always in the game of "catch up"

So yes, making them wait is all one can do.
No sorry, reporting them will not do it, thats a sham of course, but a necessary one no doubt :)
I could count the number of cheating players I've played on one hand. So maybe 5 at most, out of around 700ish games? So around 0.7% I think.
How exactly do you know that ?
Do you go over all your previous games to see if they have been identified as cheaters ?
Do you look at the ones whose accounts have been "closed" ?

I give up lol, there are none so blind as those who will not see :)
