Hi. It just occured to me that some people can just use a chess app to cheat their way to victory. I was just wonderign if you guys have an anti-cheating system, or .... im just wondering.

No offense man but it's rare that any at our level is an actual cheater. Most computers can smoke guys at our level they'd be at least 1600+. But to answer your question there isn't much you can do its the Internet and Internet chess is protected under chess rules it's a free for all that is monitored the best it can by the admins

Chess.com bans cheaters. One easy way to tell is when their moves match an engine's moves.

They can't monitor everything instantly though. So if your opponent's moves match an engine you can help by reporting the player for cheating.

If you play a knight fork below the 1500 level then you must be using an engine.

Where's that nose-picking icon?

You can have the computer analyze the game and if the caps is 100% then they are using an engine.

   You've been here for 7 yrs and you created a cheating thread under "general chess discussion"...??    They can't prevent it, but they can ban it from the site.                                 https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum

Stephenson, you hung at least 4 pieces in your last slow game, but it may have been more than that.

And you're going to talk smack to me? Please continue.....
