That said, discussions of cheating, potential cheating, or cheat detection are not allowed in the general forums. If you want to discuss, join the following club. https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum
I'm sure this topic has been discussed before but tournaments are filled with them, they're free and for fun and legitimate players literally never have a chance to place top 3 because whenever I get top 10 my next opponent is 9/10 a cheater in the top 10. Why not add simple restrictions to make it more of a hassle for cheaters to join them?
Accounts must be premium if they're new and free accounts can play after being on the site for 1 month could be one of many simple restrictions. I like to play the tournaments now and then to play against all elo players but everytime I do I regret it because I can honestly say more than half the time I play the rapid tournament I play at least 2 cheaters which just kills the interest for anyone who wants to compete in them for fun.
