Board Game Arena

Hello,

I played a chess game against DarkWare, and I lost in a close match. At first, I thought he overplayed me, but after I analysed my game on Lichess with a chess engine, and I am completely sure he is a cheater. I am a Fide Master (https://www.chess.com/member/sssamatppap), so this is not the first time when I see a chess board or someone who use an engine. Here is our match link https://boardgamearena.com/archive/repl ... s=85385792; please check it.

So, my big problem is, I can't report him, because there is no "cheating" or something else option in the report list. Please, add it.

Thanks, have a nice day!

How do you define cheating?

If you are defining cheating as doing something against the rules, this is prevented by the game engine.
If you are defining cheating as doing something against the rules that is allowed by the game engine, then there is already a category for that: exploiting a known bug.
If you are defining cheating as "appears to be using a computer program to chose moves," there is no way to differentiate this from skilled play. It would be subjective.


On a side note, it is very poor form to accuse another player by name in the forums. If you feel a player has violated the terms of the site, contact the moderators.

Or, play chess at chess.com. They do they kind of detection you're asking for.
