Cheating protection?

Hi. I've noticed many players cheating recently. Or at least I have this feeling. I'd like to know whether chess.com employs any protection against such extensions:

Thank you

I have played 34 Daily games.  5 of those games involved cheating.  Thats something like 15% of my games played involving cheating.  Just another reason why i don't play here.

Cheaters are banned when they are detected.  There are various tools that are used to keep them from returning without permission; these tools are familiar to anyone who has run an online forum.


However, discussions of cheating in the main forum is not permitted, as it tends to become very heated and result in lots of public accusations, many of which are completely unfounded; you might be surprised how many cheating reports we get about low-rated players after a game that was a complete blunderfest. If all these reports were aired in public, it would just cause an ugly flame war. Therefore, I am locking this post.


To report a suspected cheater to the Support team, please select Report Abuse under the Help menu, or use this link: https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/emails/new. All reports are investigated, even if there is no immediate visible action.
