Fair play question

Hey guys.

I have a question about the fair play policy. I'm playing a correspondence game, is my first time playing the opening i chose, and my opponent played the variant i was expecting the less. I have an study on lichess where i noted the lines.
My question is, does checking my study is consider cheating? The problem i see is that the studies have the option to turn on the engine, when the analysis board in the game does not allow that. Would the system detect that as cheating? Can i only check the database but not my own notes?

Thanks

Yeah, please don't try for your sake.

Opening book is allowed everything else is not.

You are technically allowed to use an existing study, as long as you do not enable the engine. However, practically speaking I would advise against it. We do sometimes encounter players who claim that they misclicked the engine button. If you check a study, that is at your own risk.

But wasn't the study created with an engine? It's beyond what opening book shows even if you don't enable the engine during the game.

Most modern opening books are created using an engine.

Ok, but lichess opening book only goes so far. If I make insanely deep study I can use all of my notes? That doesn't seem fair. Or can you use the whole database of games in explorer even after the opening is over?

You are allowed to use any printed opening book.

Okay.

Then i'll stay with the database.

Thank you :)
