2. Player too use them and one way to avoid them is bullet chess so a player can use an engine to aid.
3. Players probably now have recommended overlays.
4. Ive encountered lots of cheating on here over the last 12 years. Where i will have good move and the square i press wont be where the piece goes.. all the way to sacking my rating with bot after bot because i got too many check mates in a row...
5. The website or admins wont let you talk about it. They will even ban your ability to post threads or comment. They close them and prevent anyone from talking about it. But its not as bad as it used to be.
6. I believe that since chess has so much money in it. That sacking ratings protects the tournament gm’s so they can be celebrities...
7. Play bullet chess as its far more difficult to cheat but you will still find countless bots if you win too much.
I mean i know it’s a conspiracy theory, I just wanted to point out that Chesskid (owned by chess.com) uses bots in the player pools… coincidence?
