Is cheating disappeared from Lichess?

> Of course cheating still happens. Lichess is great at catching it though. I got a refund on points from a game I played the other day. The part that impressed me is that I wasn't at all suspicious of this player. I didn't even think to report. The game seemed normal. I just assumed I played a strong opponent who knew the opening better, I was always a bit worse, and got outplayed. Apparently they had some help though. To me, that is a testament to the outstanding anti-cheat systems. Thanks to the Lichess team for working so hard and keeping chess fair

Well someone else must have reported them then xxx

Perhaps, but not necessarily. See #6 in this topic.
wow. it could be they still find a lot of cheaters..theres stats that quote a very high number in just the last year, but keep it quiet so our experience in game is not one of *this guy sees all my threats he's a computer* i'm not a highly rated player at all but have been called a computer before by a player who's ego blinded him to his own shallow and predictable play. its not fun.
I use theonespy on the another website and in elo 800-1200 more 70% of players used a bot, stockfish and analyse support of lichess...
it's very very easy to cheat on chess website because the anti cheat is very basic, he will only read yours move.

An exemple, major players i saw do like that :

At the open, they play as like they are learning the game (no move has any sens) but when they start to be bad position/lose pieces they active stockfish and use it during 4 and 6 moves. At my level it's enough for get definitely advance (every move is the better). After you can play at your true level, you see that fast because move start again hasn't sens.

I played in live/tournament against some players to 1800. After i analysed my game and i can just see they played less good than everypeople with 800-1200 elo online (sample on +/- 500 games, about 450 players).

I closed my account and stopped to play chess because of that. I wanted try there and i see it's same.
