Lichess is Probably Going to be Swamped by Cheaters

It's easy to prevent. The board moves a bit, when detecting cheating (when all moves have nearly same time). But I saw one cheater who played anonymously, and it seems he had a program that doesn't scan the board, but read moves right from page code. And his program was spending only 0.1-0.15 seconds on every move. This could be prevented maybe by some microchangings in the board code once in few months. So cheaters will need to write a new program every time.

#10 - I think that's the point Toad's making though - if it works by detecting pixels on a screen, you wouldn't have to detect who's using it, you would just displace the board a little bit in any direction and that's it, beat. Who know's, if you shift the board one whole square, it might even play some funky suicide chess :D

Although that'd probably still improve my game :S

There are two best ways to prevent cheaters that I know of:

1. Education. If this world isn't so messed up, no one would be committing crime or sinful behaviour.
2. Shut down the site. Then no one would be cheating anymore.

3. Nuclear war.

Hmm, the best cheaters in history have been really well educated.....

Interesting discovery. And sad to see this idiotic abuse happening.

They are using a Gmail account on that website. Can we ask Gmail to take that account down ?

Pfft....Only if the account is damaging google would they ever consider it.......

achja, I sadly doubt lichess could ask gmail to remove it because computerabuse isn't a criminal act, it only break the server rules.

Hacking is a crime by definition. But cyber police has trouble enforcing it at the enterprise level, less to small organizations and projects like Lichess.
