I played a tournament in manhattan, my opponent moved a piece, let go of it, paused for about 5 seconds, realized it was a blunder that dropped a piece, and then said "jadoube" and moved it back.
I argued with him about it but he didn't want to admit that he cheated. I also didn't have any proof so I just let it slide. Eventually I got outplayed, and would have lost the game, but then he offered me a draw.
He then said "Are we even?" And I thought to myself: sure, jerk...
:)
I saw something similar to that in another match, where this guy moved a piece to a square, paused for about 3 seconds and then said "adjust" and moved it back (without taking his hand off it). I think this is still cheating, but nobody could prove that he did it - he lost the game anyway :)
