How I Beat a CHEATER!!

He was probably playing on his own first two games. And the third one he used an engine. This way he still gets ELO points for beating Hikaru.

​​​@@mikejameson7678Its depend on the kN brother. Some Chess app analysis has cloud server that can run 20K kN~100K kN which can run 30 depth in 2~3 sec. No matter how much human can calculated its best recently just got 15 depth~20 depth even in classical games. For additionally that app has engine that run in Stockfish 16(4200 ELO). Making 20 depth alone in blitz is enough to defeat anyone, and the engine can set that just in less than 1 sec with 50K kN, the problem is just how you moved from the engine notation to the actual game.

[@fintan9218]

@user-qz6nk1le5n it depends i think, but im definitely not someone with knowledge to speak on it. From what I understand it can be noticed or not. The better someone is at chess the harder it would be i think. As bad players who might not play well but just use whatever the “best” move is sometimes will not notice their move makes no sense without the follow up moves. Its a shame but hopefully they improve ability to detect it, as it’s definitely a problem.

[@Slav4o911]

Yeah there are people who lose their queen like complete noobs and then start to use stockfish, to beat me. Of course they win, I can see when someone is cheating I know how a bot plays. Normal people usually lose the game or get lucky (because I make a stupid mistake) after they lose their queen, Stockfish just pins down my queen like it's not on the board at all and beats me with it's rooks.

Beating Hikaru with an engine is like outracing Usain Bolt in a car. What does that prove?

[@gdgd5194]

Cheating is pretty much going mainstream, every online game is filled with cheaters. The bigger the risk, the more cheaters are in the game. And that applies only to heavily guarded games with anti cheat technologies. The old ones, classic games for example travian, that have no protection, have whole botnets "playing" against each other. Even LAN depends on host's competence. Whole setup has to have no access to the Internet, absolutely zero privilleges for users except open/close games and zero usb device connections. I highly doubt that any host applies these steps so even on LAN players can cheat to their heart's content.

[@Rokasmic]

The cheater was doing reasonably well hiding the cheats, didn't cheat on every single move to not be too sus. If he had Hikaru would have been blown off the board in 30 - 40 moves.

It's a lot easier to beat cheaters when you play as white. As black it takes them a lot longer to find the squares mentioned in the engine line. Sometimes they have to get out of their chair, and turn their head upside down, to figure it out. If the websites removed the letters and numbers from the sides of the board, every cheater would take an extra few seconds per move. BUT, they'd all get better at saying the alphabet out loud, and counting.
