Jul 11, 2024 · Martin B. Justesen. Jul 11, 2024. 11. Share. If you are an active online chess player, you might have noticed a troubling trend: more people are resorting to cheating.

Jan 5, 2023 · 0. #1. How long will it take for a cheater to get banned? I haven’t heard anything in well over 36h, while I think the case is pretty clear.

Most cheaters feel their cheating is justified and in the case of chess this is very hard to do. Especially as its comparativley(to other games) easy to reclimb to your proper ranking in chess there is a reasonable argument to be made that a few innocent but reasonably suspicious people being banned is worth having a lot fewer people around who only cheat sometimes.
Agreed lol. Since I returned to chess.com a month ago I've played and reported two of the most obvious cheats I've ever seen and they haven't been banned. Like 96+ accuracy every game, suspicious move times, spending time on obvious recaptures. And my personal favorite, one of them beat an engine user who got banned.
About 18 were draws. Average accuracy of the bot was 84. Engines rely on depth and skill level for the moves, so low skill level and depth means bad moves but strong enough to be playable against a human. Actual cheaters copy stockfish moves (default skill level: 20 iirc). So insane accuracy gets them banned.

Aug 15, 2020 · About Online Chess Cheating. Cheating in chess happens when someone decides that they do not want to play using their own brain, and they turn to using help from a friend or a chess engine to find better moves. This is obviously unfair to the other player, and ruins the experience of the game. It's a selfish and thoughtless thing to do.
