Is it cheating if i start learning about an opening once i see an opponent use it.
Sort:
For example, in a daily game: If the game starts (me as black) d4, d5, c4, and i then open up the lesson on the queens gambit, would y’all consider that as cheating?

No.
in a daily game, you are allowed to have access to books.
A lesson offers you general guidelines about positions. It cannot possibly cover every move.
Stupid Lives Matter.
I did that halfway through a game, and my opponent flat out just said that I should have already started doing so when the game started.

A while ago I had a knight and bishop vs king end game in a daily and needed a refresher on best way to mate so I looked it up. If that’s cheating then soooorrrry.

No, in Daily Games it's not cheating unless you look at the computer evaluation of certain moves/positions.

@AMothEx... as a proud member of "Circle of Trust" club such behaviour is not allowed.
not cheating
What is the "circle of trust"? Is it just some way of saying that you shouldn't do anything even close to cheating? As long as you are not asking an AI for help to learn, I don't see what is wrong with it.

@RurikAunimoto ... The Philosophy of "Circle of Trust" club is what you are not allowed to do at standard OTB tournament do not do it online. Call us chess Romantics. :cool

There is a thing called “correspondence chess” and it is a pure cheating by definition. And daily chess i consider some sort of correspondence chess. If you are afraid this or that is cheating, just dońt play daily chess.

Check the rules of the site before calling something cheating by definition. https://support.chess.com/en/articles/8583921-what-counts-as-cheating-on-chess-com
Imagine in OTB game your opponent pauses the game to watch a Youtube video about the opening you're playing

It's not an OTB game. Correspondence chess rules are clearly defined. The resources that are allowed increase the quality of the games played.

Fun fact: the rules of OTB chess are different from online daily chess. Obviously.
