how does chess.com check if someone uses computer analysis during online chess?

I wonder if and how chess.com protects us from people using computer analysis during an ongoing correspondence game. I have the impression from the low rated <1700 players I have played with so far, that they don't cheat that way. But how can I be sure that others also don't do it?

Come on Lioste.  Surely common sense would let you know that is "privileged" information.  If you are really intrigued, then you need to join the special goup on cheating detection.  This thread wil be locked any minute by a moderator.

Only the staff know.... if they let everybody know then the cheaters would use that info to their advantage.

OK Sorry. I didn't know where to post. I don't want to know the details… I just want to know weather there is such a detection such that we are safe from those players. Sorry again, if the post was not in the right place.

If you suspect someone, you don't have to give us a reason why you think they may be cheating, you can report them to staff and we'll check for you.
