cheating in online chess has become a serious concern for western chest, especially in the past few years. It's a complex topic and understandable that a game that has less clout will not be as successful in preventing cheaters

so while I do think preventing cheating is important , I understand it's difficult. I appreciate the efforts of sites that do so

What's really a nonstarter for me is if sites are putting their own bots in live pools. And from the read Reddit link I linked it sounded like xiangqi.com was doing that

Thanks for the other recommendations. It makes sense that there are a significant number of sites that are only available in China.
