Recently I played with the current #4 in the rating list, *, who appears to be quite a strong player but using a peculiarity of the move confirmation to cheat when the game goes wrong for him.

I checked it, and during last three days since our game he used this cheat three times - when his opponents were getting better board or KT6 in 2019 edition:

This is a clear cheating approach in CoB, which everybody can use and get much much better results.
