Cheating is very easy in LiChess! Stop it, please.

In page "People" at 1 page must be players with lowest rating, may be it will help to prevent cheating

Hi!

It is incredible the number of cheaters in LiChess!

I have played (as anonymous) three games against KOSTA.

@KOSTA

The URLs are these:

lichess.org/analyse/iqu0kjvf
lichess.org/analyse/lndec1g0
lichess.org/analyse/t6f9n0ay/black

In the first two games I have use NO engine at all... (first game was pretty good by me, I think I had some drawing chances against a top engine!). The second game is horrible.

But I use engine in the third one because my suspicions were too large: a lot of time in the first move, less than 10 seconds for every move then, too much time in obvious recaptures... The third game
was a draw. Coincidences of his/her moves with Houdini were 90% at least! Incredible. His/her 27th move is telltale: Ka1 in this position... (and Houdini's first choice was also Ka1! What a
coincidence). Ka1 is a computer move here.

I hope 'cheaters detection tool' by Thibault will take a look on these games.

Nothing more to say today. Have a nice day! Regards from Spain.

I think joost_zoest was probably cheating in our recent games. took pauses even on obvious moves; played very precisely for somebody who has consistently lost to lower rated players on other
occasions.

maybe i'll just stick with 2 0 games from now on; this is getting ridiculous

Hi mb:

I had the same impression with joost_zoest. He/she was a difficult opponent for me, and keep in mind that I was using engine running on a Dual Core! I think I cancelled a lot of games when I faced
joost_zoest. I have searched and I have found a game that I won against him/her. Look: 50 moves and I was using engine! The game:

lichess.org/analyse/-_1gk688

I think this game shows clearly what mb and myself are saying. Mr. Thibault should take a look on this player...

Best wishes from Spain.

My cheat detection algorithm also gives me 3 suspicious games from joost_zoest.
Ok, he is now adjusted. You got your points back, mb.

not sure if a cheater or not, but BloodNinja has a win/loss/draw record of 64/0/0 ...that's very unlikely I feel.

Hello,

this has nothing to do with engine cheating (I played against him twice, I lost, but he wasn't cheating for sure), but the following links don't need any explanations:
lichess.org/@/xbobanx?page=3
from
lichess.org/@/xbobanx?page=9

It's easy (but quite boring) to use this method to earn points, or have a better ratio (Carmichele, if you read this). However, I don't think this is really fair...

Regards,

Ya thats not engine use but cheating to boost rating points for sure.

robi: adjusted
xbobanx: adjusted

for @citizen and @BloodNinja I need your opinions

oh wow @ robi and xbobanx.

I knew it was suspicious when robi beat Luffy.

I still think sitnissitnis was cheating consistently too; he left after losing to another computer (somebody)

actually robi vs Luffy brings up a good way to test citizen, BloodNinja, and anybody suspicious in future

have some other account put a computer against them; it can be done in an official capacity so the points can be refunded if they lose (but still anonymously so they won't know any better)

another way is to have them play a 2 0 game and see if their level of play at all stands up
