The whole idea is that daily chess is like correspondence chess. Since it's not live, it's ok to check out opening databases. Realistically, no one's getting checkmated in the opening, anyway
Yes but when does it become engine based???
It's the difference between something you can study and something you can't.
Opening tablebases are useful because the opening is always the same.
Engines are useful because they work for EVERY position. That's more OP, wouldn't you say?
Yes i know but what is stopping cheaters from using the engine even if its just a couple of moves more
Because it's against the rules? Chess.com cheat detection? Morals?
Yes i know but my point is that it makes chess.com cheat detection harder in daily games compared to other formats.
wait so you can literally use an analysis while playing isn't that cheating?
