Cheating in puzzles

You should get banned but I'm not sure how they would even catch a puzzle cheater. I just don't move until I know it's the right solution so have a very high pass rate

How do they separate the people who think until they find the solution from the cheaters

haha good question

Puzzles are the best tool to improve your calculation. Cheating in puzzles is something like you pay money for workout in the gym, you load the barbell, and then instead of training you bring some machine to lift the barbell instead of you. You should not to be banned from chess.com, you should be locked in psychiatric hospital until they find some brain to implant into your head.

Here is an article that explains what counts as cheating:

So according to the article, using the engine against rated puzzles counts as cheating.
