Cheating

With regard to the idea of suing cheats. One reason why this would be expensive is that compensation is likely to be minimal if no actual damage is done. So, the guy who coughed to communicate in 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' could be sued, because he robbed others of prize money and did potential damage to the reputation of a programme requiring advertisers. Here, people don't play for money, and the website runs on little if any sponsorship; compensation would be difficult to claim.

responding to #30,

In #6 your first post on this thread, you wrote :

It appears to be completely rife on Lichess without anything else to explain the clear imbalance in the 1 0 games."

Perhaps i misunderstood you then, but what you wrote looked that way to me, and it is in a thread titled "Cheating"...

No, you were correct. My last question was a different aspect of the same.

Man, people who cheat over the board and get away with it are a different breed of people lmao.

So when do you actually ever laugh?

Cheating on a free, public website with the beautiful game of chess while there is zero money at stake really is a very sad affair. I am happy the detection of cheaters is getting stronger every week. I cannot stand cheaters.

Every week? We have a long ways to go then.

I'll bet it's a rather mirthless laugh though. Like Mr Sardonicus.
