How to avoid cheaters in rapid time controls?
Sort:
I want to play rapid on chess.com (they say slower chess improves chess skills), but how to avoid cheaters?
I was thinking of looking up my opponents and having a criteria:
1) if bullet/blitz rating >1600 OR
2) played 150+ rapid games (and have not gotten banned)
they are probably legit
otherwise, abort game
