Here is i think "THE Special weapon" able to detect and defeat systematically cheat-players:
I did a lot of java programs in the past and I have an idea. why not ? ;-)
First, what is the behaviour of a cheater player ? First he needs to focus on the board (Normal he is playing and he needs to know what are opponent moves). I mean the game is the active window on the system and then the window receive a "get focus event" information. Now, to repeat the move of the opponent on the chess program, he needs to move the focus on it !! At the same time that mean that the chess.com window receives a signal saying "Focus is lost" like a system window event!
Then, what next ? Ok, sometime when I am waiting a move from my opponent I can check my mail, I take some notes and ok I change the active window on my OS and then the game window receive a signal. But I am not cheating, I just do some other actions waiting a move from my opponent.
Then … where my mind goes ??? easy and I am sure now you catch the idea !
When this lost of focus is systematically done at any time the opponent plays AND for each move !!! we are probably facing a true and great cheat-player !!!
Then, to Chess.com developper, why not to include this behaviour pattern algorithm in the applet used for online games ?
That's true but at least we can start with computer users, no ??? doing a step forward is always a walk in the good direction otherwise all is wrong ! no ?
Also, repeating games on a cell phone, particular during blitz is probably unproductive for fat cheaters !
