Wrong

Yes @Titus369 , that looks like some bug, and suspiciously happened very close to his ban.

This is how I got there: I was checking the lichess studies page because I never go there, and realized this very good-looking contributor had been banned for cheating. Then I was looking at his games that already had computer analysis, when I found those three (or maybe two of them) with absurd 0/0/0 despite big centipawn loss. And I realized the same happened to other games of the tournament, but can't tell if all.

Before I was even aware (see #125) of this thread about the same user, I created the following one that never got attention. I was looking to at least know if the bug is common.

Is the bug common?
STOP Fighting WILD CHESS IS NO CHEATER PERIOD YOU GOT ME? THATS IT HOW ABOUT JUST CLOSING THIS STUPENDOUSLY STUPID CHAT!?!?
I don't know if this will help but I can say I'm sure 100% that WildChess is not a cheater. Here are the reasons:

- Where is the evidence? Look at his games and you'll see mistakes, far from perfect engine play
- See his posts in forums and even the studies he's posted? It shows his love for the game, which is in complete contradiction with using an engine
- We played a game which I lost due to bad opening play, and during the analysis he was very clear as to what moves made me lose and what plan I should've gone for instead. This shows his deep understanding and knowledge about the game and again his love for the game.

Do you really think a cheater would be analysing his own games and would be able to explain his opponent's mistakes?
So please, if anyone in position to reconsider this case comes across this message, do so. I love Lichess but I think there was a mistake in this case.
Cheaters are not *always* cheaters, allatime. Using the engine in some games/parts of some games doesn't impede upon the ability to explain the moves, either.

Why doesn't someone just ask Wildchess? If he says yes, we can just end the discussion there.
I'd be inclined to trust lichess, tbh. They have a looot of data.
