The Downside Of Online Chess
Sort:
I always play against a computer or an engine and view/analyze grandmaster games. But I'm also always hesitant to make a move or play online because I might accidentally make strong engine moves or lines and get reported and then eventually get banned.
Please your thoughts.

Impossible. You have to replicate a lot of engine lines to get banned, and playing obvious good moves does not ever count against you. Play your best.
You played one blitz game... So I took a look
Analysis says:
28 excellent moves
3 good moves
0 inaccuracies, mistakes, blunders
Of my 1500 games, this is better than my best, so I'm not exactly the best judge... That said, I didn't see anything where I said 'but why wouldn't you do...' *shrug* may be real, may be fake, but I guess time, and the ML will tell. Keep playing... If you're cheating, being able to tell isn't going to be too difficult after more of a pattern emerges. If you're not, then I wouldn't worry too much...

Thank you, my thoughts are pleased.
Don't worry about it. Just play honestly - you should be fine.

Good quote, we need more people like you in the world.
Top chess players play many engine moves but not all. And we? I sometimes play many engine moves in serious standard chess, but not in online chess because I'm not serious in online chess but I'm serious and I play my best in serious chess games. I even miss simple tactics in some of my games. Obviously I'm not cheating.
Not a problem for me. I don’t study.
