Well in the first place your rating is 1500: and not many cheaters have that rating. But some people have trained a lot and for 3 months of training not playing chess on a site they may get way better and people think there cheating

Not good enough to have slipped past the cheating detection team, though.

Of course some people cheat here. But my impression is that they are generally caught and banned quite quickly so that we rarely encounter cheating opponents.

Well Lichess as a good program to encountering cheating in the middle of the game because that happened to me once!

aborting too many games didn't get you into the cheater's pool.

it does but ok.

No. All it does is give you temporary playbans (so you can't get a game against anyone) and eventually nuke your account

Thanks for all your comments.
