banned me from server

welcome.
i have ban of cheating. its happening on antichess shield event.
my question is: why i have banned? some batch?
some people is propping me, thanks for this.
let's start from that, what programs (stockfishes) have antichess variant?
my two question. I can write to admin to unlock me?
three question. do i win with best antichess player (drag) this is due to banned me?
my four question. I play slowly-I think, do not hasten, do not berserk, seriously for it i have ban for engine?
five question. i can know what "program" i have?
six. is it possible to i can remove this banned?

my trophies is antichess top 10 player.

You have to contact Lichess by email to appeal the mark - contact@lichess.org

I certainly hope this is just a mistake. As an ex top 10 player myself I know how much hard work it takes to reach the top and get a trophy. Good luck.

Hi,

I know that this is a private matter and that lichess normally does not disclose the reasons why someone got banned or muted.
However, since we are talking about a new player who arrived in top 10 player quite quickly I think it could be relevant for everyone to know why he got flagged.
Moreover, it happened during the antichess shield tournament, so I do not think that some clarity would hurt at this point.

His "style" sure is particular but I am really curious about which engine he uses and since he does use one apparently in which games. Because I can't believe someone who sometimes play a losing move in the 4th move always uses an engine.


here move 16 he misses a checkmate : lichess.org/AdlRRZjY#32

Here he is getting completely dominated, and his win is due to a blunder: lichess.org/q2nWvOUI/black#31

I also played him and I did not think he used assistance.

Please, do not get my wrong I am merely asking for clarity, because some players or at least me could have the impression that if some rated players report someone they will mostly get banned.

Best

As long as at least YOU know what the hell you're talking about, I think it should be fine.

To start off, I contradict these people's opinions (hey, it's in my nature).
First, don't you think a 9 day old player can get to antichess top 10? Now, I have an idea what your refutation is to that and I'm going to pre-refute that. You might say, "Oh, I'm a player that used to be in the top 10." Well, then how come you didn't say earlier? I also know that your comment is currently unedited and if you go back and edit it, I'll see the "edited" mark.
Next, anyone can just throw in mistakes and have non-cheating matches to throw off the cheat detectors.
Also, just because your profile says that you are a IM doesn't mean that you are. I could write that I am Magnus Carlsen on MY profile. To show proof, show lichess you title and get it on your account. Then, I will drop this whole thing.
In conclusion, I hate cheaters and this looks like a case of one. (sorry i wrote an essay again)

@TheBigNico
I agree with Nico; unless it was a detection method that we aren't supposed to know about.

"that if some rated players report someone they will mostly get banned."

This certainly is a issue in some peoples eyes. Ive heard others speak of it; and it is a damaging 'conspiracy theory' that should be dispelled. (Assuming, and hoping, it actually IS a conspiracy theory lol)

Well, there are other sites where you can play antichess, such as FICS which popularized it :)
Someone like FM Fabrice Liadret who organized the first and probably only antichess tournaments and have one of the most complete theoretical website regarding this game never played on lichess.

I never said it did not look suspicious, but between suspicious and guilty I believe there is a gap.

I agree with Nico except its Fabrice Liardet not Liadret

antigol definitely used engine assistance.

Just take a look at this game from move 22 to 35


he played a perfect endgame and came up with pawn moves like move 26,27,28
and generally taking almost the same time for every move makes it really hard to believe he didn't use assistance during the endgame.
Understandable that Dragon-Lord wasn't happy about the game.

Of course it really looks suspicious, but the game was absolutely not perfect before these moves. However, a 2300 rated player could do this.
All I am asking is some clarity from the moderation team in "exceptional" cases such as this one.
