Chess and other Turn based video games

lichess is instant matches though I will say if you're sub 1500 you're going to get fucking murdered. The average skill on lichess is surprisingly high, you'll play some wacky opening randomly and your opponent will be like 'OHOHOH that's the scandinavian defense with a reach around counter gambit, i have that memorized to 14 moves in".

I played competitively in tournaments, and won a lot, as a kid, and I get fucking blasted on lichess. Of course some games I dominate too, but on average I get absolutely bodied.

This thing there!

F6, BF4, BXF4, Q or Castle take the bishop on F4 and you win the bishop on A6

f6

bxf4 runs into qxf4 check so you don't win the bishop
but f6 is right

How do you know your opponent in online chess isn't using a chess AI? Even shitty ones that can run on low end computers can easily beat human grandmasters these days

They'll play very slowly if they're cheating. Post-game analysis can show if they're likely cheating and then you just report them.

You don't. You can kind of tell if someone is playing above their usual skill level but in just random games it is harder to tell unless someone makes cpu moves 100% of the time. The thing is that chess computers still don't actually play like humans. They can beat them but you can definitely tell when you are against one. They make moves that most humans would just never make.

Indians always DC before cheating, otherwise there's absolutetly no way of telling.

they take the same amount of time regardless of complexity of move (3 seconds for a forced move, 3 seconds for a super packed position)
also they'll play at like 98% accuracy
Also they mouse away from the window before and after every turn. You can't tell they're doing this but lichess and chesscom can

because those programs cost actual money and there's very few people that would give a shit about cheating in online chess, so it's not an issue. I can't speak to 2000+ ranking where people might actually care, but nobody gives a shit at lower ranks. I've had people get angry at me for thinking I'm deliberately smurfing at lower elos in real life tournaments - one that stands out is when I was 8 I played at

This one should be easy
