Cheating in Fog Of War

Sort:
Eccentricitycity

Sadly I to all I have to write this but I feel it's necessary. 

I want people to keep an eye out for cheaters. I found out how to cheat 2 months ago on my smurf account. I played 4 games just to get the feel of how someone would play as a cheater, as I had suspicions. It was super easy and after I sent an email to chess.com telling them what I did and how I did it. 

Of course all 4 games were super easy because I could see the whole board. I never got caught, and I'm not sure they fixed it; I just want people to keep an eye out.

     Of course if someone beats you it doesn't mean they're cheating, skills do exist, but if it seems like your opponent can see everything share the games please. 

I want to route out these cheaters and make fow still a great variant of chess. I'd say It's the unalienable right of every fow player to at least have some of your moves be a complete mystery to the person you're playing at all times! lol

Or maybe some kind of inspect element stuff. I wont be surprised if one could write a browser extension that just shows opponent's pieces.

Really good post, I guess the same can be said about the blindfold variant.

In fog of war.. it's too easy to cheat. Just watching playing games by other phone.  Anyone can see full view of board too easily 🤣🤣😇😜😜

wow, crazy to think. I guess the only way is to make the games non-observable? That would be nice. I have had a few games where it seems the person always takes the right risk. I just thought they were lucky. That being said, some of the 2k rated players are really good.

That could work against some cheaters. But if they are able to do a plugin kind of cheat then some sort of encryption need to be made.
