You only have to be slightly more savvy than this guy and you could get away with it for much longer. Ultimately I can’t understand why people bother with this. Even if you have zero decency, entering moves back and forth with stockfish would be about as much fun for me as data entry, which I’m not doing as a voluntary hobby any day of the week. The sheer amount of effort and time required to cheat your way to this level just once is absurd, let alone those that repeatedly create new accounts and start all over again. And for what? To tell some acquaintances that don’t know you very well that you’re pretty good at chess? It’s the pinnacle of vanity, that only poisons the well for everyone.

@roblodocus2539: I don't know. Is it ego? The times I noticed blatant cheating with me when chess was fairly new on Yahoo (long ago, of course), after I was winning some game handily, then my opponent would claim they needed to go to the bathroom or something, and then a few minutes later, their playing style changed COMPLETELY, they suddenly played like a player maybe three rating classes stronger, AND when I'd check, they could tell me NOTHING about the position, etc, even in a SIMPLE DEAD DRAW where they wanted to mindlessly play on (knowing little of the endgame, clearly). Did they get their ego hurt due to losing? It certainly soured my on internet chess, re anything semi-serious with ratings. Now I'm glad they can at least check for it statistically, but STILL, at many levels, you have lots of it going on. I, like others, just don't get it. Back before computers got seriously good (like early 90's as I best recall), as a hobbyist computer chess program writer and fiddler, I got our local club to have an annual computers vs. humans tournament. It was all open -- the special purpose small machines were openly used by their owners -- but it was FUN, because it was FAIR (everyone played the machines at similar agreed-upon levels, etc). Knowing more about how the software tended to actually WORK through my 15ish years study of that since college, I had an advantage and tended to win, re steering the positions into forced variations I could see and the computer (with its broad but limited depth search) could not. So I get using computers for fun or training, but cheating is for complete losers.

Love the cheat busting vids. Your methodology for identifying a cheater is very impressive.

Cheaters derive satisfaction from seeing other people lose. They don't care how they win, just as long as they see their opponent lose. Unfortunately, cheaters have many tools at their disposal, from chess bot plugins to basic tab switching. Also, a big thing you didn't mention was the intermittent use of these tools. The more savvy cheaters don't use engines for every move, only some moves. This lowers the overall accuracy in the analysis, essentially disguising the cheating.

Should just structure the algorithm to play known cheaters against only known cheaters to waster their time.

The scary question is, how many cheaters are just a bit smarter at cheating? Especially in a 10-minute game, if they just premove a few obvious moves, play some of the moves themselves without looking at the engine, and maybe avoid the most ridiculously non-human moves, how do we detect them?

To me, it would be a HELL of a lot easier to cheat "safely" in a much slower game, re picking and choosing which moves to risk cheating on, what sort of computer moves to avoid, etc. Virtually all the cheating I noticed against me 30ish years ago when chess on the net was pretty young, were in either slow games, or people directly using one of those little plastic special purpose chess games, and just doing direct auto-copy of all moves (and thus playing in a VERY computer-like way). As a player and a chess program writer, it was pretty easy for me to spot such cheaters and confirm their behavior, given several games to experiment/confirm. Later as engines got far stronger and more human-like in their play, it became a lot more subtle, so we need statistical analysis, etc. to be "reasonably" certain of cheating from a player of roughly level X.

I also told them I didn't appreciate them insulting my intelligence -- that if I WERE going to cheat, I'd at least make it WORTH my time, and go after SERIOUS prize money (5 figures) in a BIG tournament. I had no idea I'd improved that much, so trying for such money (not from cheating, but just from being better / maturity) didn't even occur to me... They calmed down, but falsely accusing people of cheating without sufficient evidence is VERY BAD form as a matter of principle, IMO.

But you do NOT want to falsely accuse, much less BAN, suspected vs. confirmed cheating. So it's a balancing act, and I think the powers that be are at least TRYING to do that balancing in a credible way. (And obviously not everyone will agree with the decisions, etc). But trying to BAN a "cheater" from part of ONE game -- you could easily be banned YOURSELF when having a great game or good day. I ***HATE*** cheating, BTW. I was outraged when in college my computer programs were stolen (and turned in by the theives as though they weren't my work) when I we done early but didn't turn them in early, not wanting to make anyone else look bad. Or in college when I was told people were copying off my paper during tests, like a cheating 9 year old. (I just focused on my work, did my best, and didn't think about cheating -- stupid me). I got accused of cheating ONCE in an OTB tournament. My crime? Laying off 6 years while attending college, maturing, and studying chess. When I returned to play at age 24 and started beating 1700 players and drawing 2100 players while rated below 1400, after a few games the accusation came up. To the credit of my accusers, once I explained the situation, and pointed out that cheating to win a $35ish class prize with 12+ hours of work and a $12 entry fee in a small local tournament made NO SENSE, given I made nearly $20 an hour at IBM programming computers at the time. (Spring of '84, as I recall, or at least within a year of that). I told them if I wanted to "cheat", I'd go to the world open in Philly, for example, spend 4 days, and win $10,000 taking the class D prize (that was before they lowered that to $3000 to try to prevent sandbagging type of cheating by getting a false low rating through trickery). I also pointed out even THAT wouldn't actually be cheating if my rating were HONESTLY below 1400 (due to be being immature, nervous, careless, etc. in high school and causing my own rating to be low vs. my skill). However, an honest person could only reap the rewards of lots of improvement ONCE, as one's rating rises rapidly if one plays way better than one's rating would indicate. So, I take false accusations of cheating as a BAD thing, and it CAN happen to honest player. So if we're going to do that and BAN people, we should be QUITE SURE, and that means not doing it real-time with only software.

These videos make me laugh :). At least at the start anyway. But I can see the frustration. As a person who played vs the high elo chess boards when young, I hated it.

cheating is wack, but 7 seconds to make a move is just not suspicious to me

It can't be stopped. It goes with computers.

There should be some harsher penalty to cheating other than a ban (as surely they just start up again with a new account) but not sure what, maybe a block on their IP address too... I guess none of the cheaters have paid accounts (or they would have a financial hit on the ban)? I wonder if there's some automated way it can be detected, monitoring suspicious timing in conjunction with best/2nd best moves averaged over some games perhaps? - particularly scaled against lower ranking, newer players therefore such opportunities are very short lived, limiting their exposure.

Sometimes your opponent is playing extremly good, But once you look at their profile, and you see they resign in random matches at move 2 and 7. (to lose to not get that winning streak that might get picked up by the anti cheat measures) While slamming others with 98% accuracy, allthough when they attempt a 1000 rated puzzle they manage to fail a lot.

Actually, you can just play the engine and see the same moves. In effect with the cheater you are playing against the engine. Engines have gotten a lot better that when I first played against them. In those days, you could trap the engine by chance sacrificing a high level piece. The engine would always take the piece without evaluating whether it was a good move or not.

It's obvious early on but only if you're specifically looking for it. So slow as well. In retrospect you could have probably flagged them if you found a way of getting pieces off and playing a bad ending, but you weren't to know.

And where’s the fun in it? It’s fun when even I find a move I didn’t know I could find. I can’t play endgames! I lose so many winning positions, or do stalemate draws, etc.

I was wat hing he got banned

People do cheat constantly. But this game looks pretty mundane to me. Played thirty games very similar and ive noticed my chess site has me rated as an 1860 and when i watch 2250 or whatever they dont wow me none of this seems hardcore tactical to me.

I HAD A CHEATER when I called him out he's reply was but ur a tough player it does shatter ur mojo,

He was indian and married i can even see his wife in dp😂

I pray for cheaters

Nothing on the line and people still cheating

Remember that the first victim of the cheater is the cheater himself.

Let them cheat it will makes us stronger player🗿

link to cheat pls?

What if we had an option to only match with Diamond subscribers?

I’m his coach, he was turning the rice cooker on at the time

I found a line in the Semi-Slav that where you Greek gift your bishop. The engine calls it a blunder at first but when White plays any move, Black is winning. Almost beat Lefong Hua with this line except I forgot the follow up

What the consequenses of cheaters are for the professional player I do not know. I have barely 1000 elo, so I am nothing in chess, but I could cheat very easily if I want to. Just use to computers. One computer to see the moves of my adversary and one computer with a chess program that tells me the counter move that I should play. In no time I would be at a decent level. I mean my computer would be. And nobody would be able to detect. I bed you that other players know and use that cheat trick.

This idea brings me to a honest system to improve your rating. Set your computer chess program at the level you have or just above. Play first against your computer. If one has a bad day, one donor play against humans to improve ones rating. If one have a good day, one play to improve the rating. So one stops going jojo, improves and learns a lot.

99% of cheaters never get caught. Only the most blatant egregious cheaters get (eventually) caught. The ones that play every single computer move, all the time. The majority of cheaters only play a couple computer moves here and there during a game, when they're in trouble or don't know what to move next, or to finish a winning endgame.
