*shrug* There can be signs. Anyways, discussion of cheating isn't allowed on the forums.
How do we know that the opposing player is not using Stockfish - cheating

It depends on their rating, accuracy, and lessons they had finished here in chess.com. Imagine an uneducated chess player making principled moves...
Stockfish moves are often the boring ones. They seemed to have no intent. Just develop the position. Who can be bothered to play that way. I want to attack and kill. LOL.

My opponent is rated 1050, so I doubt he or she cheats.

I think some cheating should be allowed. For example, let's say you have a hot date, and you take her back to your place to show her your moves. Well, wouldn't this be a good time to fire up the old Stockfish 8 and impress her with a few quick easy wins? Not only would it be cheating, but you could fool her into thinking you were smart.
LOL. Good point.
Analyse the game with stockfish, check how many moves your opponent made that matched up with stockfish's. ez
1. They won't have a 900 rating.

It's tricky because I've played games where one could say I was cheating - in analysis, every move, stockfish agreed. I think the key is in forced mates. Obviously, there isn't a human player alive that can find a non-forcing mate in 15. So if a player is making moves accordingly then you can pretty much bet they are cheating. Another key is in making non-human moves. There are certain moves that make no sense to humans, of any caliber, but the engine plays them. So when you have a player make such moves - they might be cheating.

Can Carslon not usually see 25 moves ahead? I'm sure many GM's can get 15.

To discuss the matter of cheating further, or to learn more about cheat detection, please join the Cheating Forum: https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum
Chess.com takes cheating very seriously: see https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-com-fair-play-and-cheat-detection, https://support.chess.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1444879-fair-play-on-chess-com-what-you-need-to-know and https://www.chess.com/blog/DanielRensch/cheating-on-chesscom.
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.
Thanks,

I saw a youtube video on this and it got me thinking.
I imagine it would be fairly easy to do. Pointless, but easy.
