Would be Tal be flaged as cheater on Lichess?

I think social problems are only fully solvable by creation of a players' union and independent arbitration panel (separate from all chess sites - I've suggested this idea several times in these forums), which seems unlikely. Technology doesn't solve social problems (although often it helps).

This "Chief Chess Officer" believes in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity if he's speaking honestly, and if so perhaps he could be persuaded to listen to reason and set an example for the rest of the chess world to follow, rather than trusting informal audits from the "head of statistics":

"Against opponent who make mistake or a blunder in opening these are usually miniatures under 20 moves with 0/0/0 and low ACL... What then "fraud detecting alogorithms" will do - flag me as a cheater immediately? Assume these "good" days are regular and my rating here rise on 1900-2200 in short time. What would happens?"

Since, as you say, the opponent has made a blunder in a short game, based on that and other factors, irwin would probably decided that you would find the correct moves with high probability and not flag you as cheating.

Key sentences from the video clip:

"You don't know what anybody dealing with, their "demons" (pobably means problems) in their lives, righ? Be kind, because you can't rewind."

He also said that do not claim their anti-fraud algorithms are "perfect", nor "good", but that they do the best they can and they are open to reconider algorithms "decision". On the contrary, Lichess publically claims that once made decision by algorithm is possible, but not likely to be changed.

That means that all users on Lichess are potentially cheaters from beginning to the account closing and constantly monitoring. Even slightly error in algorithm make it to "decide" to flag user for any reason is practically without possibilities to be changed nor even making complint have any effect.

In other words, you (Lichess) claims that your anti-fraud algorithms are "impeccable", which is hardly possible from many reasons upper and in previous posts and threads where wrote.

That is all. This thread may be closed, as I do not see that anything will be reconsidered to be revised nor changed.

Thank you for your respond and your time.
