In The last two years I’ve played a lot of players in the range 900-2200 here in blitz. Only very few have cheated, as far as I know.

In longer time controls it might be more common though

Yeah they sit for 30 minutes after the first move until you resign so you can actually play... or you wait until they lose on time. When you just want to play, you find it not really worth the rating points but it is unfair nonetheless and it seems that reports do nothing

I still dont understand why people need to cheat, whats the purpose of playing if you are going to do that.

People cheat because they can. It's a sport.

Cheating is not a sport!.

I have never experienced any of the points you have spoken about. Yes, they do exist, but not only on online gaming. It's a part of life. Deal with it or get lost.

Sure it is. The cheaters are putting in the same effort as they who try to detect it. I bet you there are thousands of accounts that try to make it super GM level by cheating the cheat detection algos.

wait actual cheating at chess? Damn that's low

Sheer effort and numbers do not make a sport.

It does.

Cheating doesn't make something a sport. Taking a test isn't a sport but people cheat on those. People that cheat, use the tools that others created to help do so and that's not hard work.

You want to censor me? That's cheating isn't it?

Are you seriously defending cheating? What a joke.

Hey, Bentzyion, why are you so angry my friend? Being upset in a chess forum isn't worth the energy spent doing so. My old neighbor was a Krav Maga instructor and outside of our little group, you're the first person I've ever heard speak of it.
