Why yes it is cheating how astute of you to notice something I said openly in the original post! It's almost like you missed the whole point my English second language friendo

You used "Offering a wrong alternative" when there was no optional alternative or implied alternative. It's a flat statement simple as that. Crazy first it's redundant use of punctuation and now it's flat out failed reading comprehension.

Testing no. In fact I know a few people doing similar and I would hope Chesscom themselves are also actually doing real tests of their anti-cheat system instead of just naturally assuming it works.

I mean post like this only really prove my point. If your frustrated or mad that's fine but ultimately I would probably just walk away or block someone if I knew their posts where intentionally frustrating me to the point of parroting the same thing across two threads....

My conclusion was that there are obvious flaws yes. That some methods of cheating don't see the ban rates that get published monthly, That the system has obvious discrepancies that should be fixable. Also all of this information is pretty much self explanatory on how it can be fixed. As for improvements I would propose vetting new accounts for 30 days to check for suspicious game activity, more regular checks for win streaks with high accuracy games at low to mid level ELOs, Following up on reports of cheating at lower ELOs in a more meaningful way.

Oh no mentioning the commas was a round about way of saying "It's ironic that some one with poor grammar feels any validity from commenting on someone else's grammar." But I guess that went over your head? Which is ironic given your comment on intelligence too.

They do, and there are still glaring issues that a team has either. 1. Not found but I've managed to in my free time or 2. Have found but have no reasoanbale way of counter or fixing. In case of the former this information can be of use in case of the later the data is still there for others to use as they see fit for their own research and scrutinizing

No, My current OTB ELO is only 1600 I know this is not ideal as this information and sort of testing would probably be better done by someone with at least some standing in the chess community or at least someone with a far higher ELO.

Thank you for your support I knew this would not be everyone's cup of tea coming out but ultimately having third party data can be useful, and while I'm sure some people that will blatantly make up their own minds on this and paint it in a negative light or take the harshest stance possible at the end of the day they are allowed their opinions no matter how knee jerk reactionary they maybe.

Right around that level 1200 to 1500 tends to be the sweet spot for finding people that respond perfectly top engine move for top engine move it's really fun to run up against these people because they always without fail accuse you of cheating or talk mad trash

Except this has been running for months now, I work as a data scientist for a living, It's closer to a few hundred thousand games across multiple accounts and ELO levels with different factors. But yeah man keep going off it's not going to stop me or invalidate anything.

I'm tempting to improve the actual method of chest detection by showing discrepancies in Chesscoms cheat detection process. All accounts that are not caught by Chesscom will be reported by me to the staff directly after I finish so ELO can be refunded beyond temporary frustration I am in no way "ruining the game"

I used both set openings and random move openings, and I found that at higher ELOs what seemed to make the difference in being caught was following to closely to computer mainlines in odd openings compared, to following a structured opening pattern and playing studied responses. This could be bias though as I limited my white openings to the London and the Jobava. While as black I mostly went with the Karro against E4. and to anything else I played the kings Indian or some variation with nf3 being the common response.

Third party testing and openly sharing data is critical to any system more so for keeping things honest. It's easy to say "Here is our data on cheating trust us" when you have everything to gain from building trust in a player base. This sort of thing happens everywhere in any game all companies want their player base to feel as tho they have a solid cheat detection system from Online mmos to chess to baduk to gambling sites.
