I beat an fm rated 2700 on lichess.
am I cheeting?
Does FM stand for fraud master?
@ajayjha25, that is really 2400, since they start 300 points higher than Chess.com and I would be curious to see the PGN and know your OTB credentials
Since RD moves ratings quickly, it doesn't matter what rating a player starts at.
Also, the best players on lichess are 3000 while the best on chess.com are 3200, so 2700 lichess is > 2700 chess.com even though at lower ratings it's opposite i.e. 1700 chess.com > 1700 lichess.
More cheaters on lichess? That makes absolutely no sense.
Why doesn't it make sense? Please explain.
Lichess aggressively bans people on their site, compared to cc who only bans cheaters if they are almost statistically certain. So it would make sense that there are less cheaters on Lichess.
Honestly a few of my friends have gotten banned here and promised me they didn't cheat, and made new accounts and got closed over and over again so I don't feel to good about chesss.com cheat detection
Some people think they can pick moves from a list that are outside of the top 3 engine choices, use a bot that they are told is uncatchable, or cheat in some games and not others, or a move here or move there, but they know nothing of forensic statistics. Every attempt to hide the evidence leaves a new fingerprint. If your friends didn't cheat, they wouldn't have gotten banned. It is as simple as that. I have met some cheaters who seemed nice and used an engine on me. It happens to the best of us.
No its not like that he's around master level in otb 2200 rating and he only plays classical.
He got banned after he didn't review his membership lol.
