General bash on cheaters.

Ouch, kinda harsh?

1. "you have a limited amount of time on this earth, then you die"... that can be said to everyone... People who are good at cheating (irl) at things can be very successful...

2. "you just move what the cpu tells? - why even bother, you could haven been kissing a girl" ... brah please, I need a girlfriend first. My current girlfriend is my iPhone, bro. Might dump her for the iPhone 7 though ;)

3. "you are a slave to the machine", tell me about it -.- Stupid Google Maps took me to a street rather than the name of a building -.- ended up on the wrong side of town. Slave? Yes, I'm pretty much a slave to Google Maps.

4. "all you who break their minds trying to learn and understand this game, big credits and handshakes." well, it also takes skill to cheat properly...

5. "to the cheats, hope you die miserable and alone, as cheats deserve" harsh... oh well, this is the Internet.

I'll just take this post to be a testament to just how painful a loss in the game of chess can be. I feel ya, mate.

"People who are good at cheating can be successful"

Success is temporary the lying cheating screwing colleauges and friends eventually catches up with them then they drop like a ton of bricks true in business, marriage, sports, politics, chess.

No matter how clever they think they are someone is two moves ahead of them

I hate playing against a cheater but I have to say it's not easy to cheat well without getting caught. If i lost to a good cheater and find out they cheated after a period of time I'd be like ah you got me. a buddy of mine cheated so damn well against me i had no clue haha and mad respect for how he did it. (We played on an actual chess board!)

It wouldn't be correct to say it's hard ... there are free, integrated bots that allow players to accept an engine's move or play themselves throughout any online game readily available. People mix their own play with these to avoid detection. It is a big problem but just part of online chess now.

I've played two players who were constantly disconnecting and reconnecting throughout their entire games. The first was already labeled as using computer assistance. The second played a nearly flawless game despite this constant disconnecting. It was very suspicious to say the least. However, browsing through his past games showed plenty of mistakes, blunders, and losses. If he was indeed cheating, he was doing it in a way that will be very hard to detect.

I don't think that I have ever encountered any cheater.

To be totally honest , I don't even think it is a real problem. You can always block people you don't like..
