It's outrageous how players take seconds to move, without making a single mistake... pure cheating... Stop the use of cheating players in the App

its not always cheating , i am a professional chess player . played more than 30 AICF tournaments never lost on time .

basically in beginning most players have very firm hold on their opening so they do not need to think much in 1st 10-12 moves they always stay little up .

and during mid games while you play your turn i easily make out what possible moves you can play and i am ready with what will be my counter to them

in this way many people play moves in seconds . so this cannot determine if anyone is a cheater .

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
