The problems with online chesss

Sort:
Duckcooky

too much countless bots, hackers, and latency issues, there's really no legitimacy to online chess....the only sheeps are the ignorantly bliss players who play and support with membership without a single clue how bad the environment is. And of course the site keeps a tight lid on it. Is there luck in chess? no but is there luck with online chess? YES too many factors. tired of playing script players and engine users who uses the same amount of time with every move until they gain that single adv and take over for the engine lmao. i used to get notifications when the site detects an engine user and then refund the pts, now it's never, not even for bm players either......to a large degree its impossible to detect every single cheat move....so how could online chess be legit? And all the pros/ affiliates on the site are to get the avg ignorant person to spend money.

Curious if anyone knows what Chess.com or any of the other chess sites are doing to mitigate this (if anything)? Could argue both ways for the benefit vs harm bots do to the site. 

 

Anyone know if Chess.com can scan for bots?
