I've deleted the plagiarized studies and will contact noctie about it. We will also be more vigilant in the future about it.

Well done, @thibault!

Theft on my favourite app? This shall not stand! ಠ_ಠ

OMG THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! YYAAAAYYYY!!!

amazing_tactics also LIED in a blog saying he didn't copy/plagurize the studies (obviously wrong). That should be removed too.

Thank you @RuyLopez1000 for the investigation.

I found 5 studies that were outright cloned from other study creators:

• lichess.org/study/v0lhOcWH by @green_frog96 Ultimate Guide - Danish Gambit
• lichess.org/study/xeJWiWcZ by @xjay42 Hanging Pawn's Italian Game
• lichess.org/study/qkiEGvJu by @chessbeginner210 English Opening!
• lichess.org/study/pP795tZz by @chesswithchesse The Amazing Queen ́s Gambit!!
• lichess.org/study/BHnEwdRH by @deadlygambits Bird Opening

It's unacceptable.

To make things worse, they tried to cover their tracks by cloning first to a private study, then a second time to the public study that we see. So that there's no trace of the plagiarism, and obviously zero attribution given.

I've deleted the plagiarized studies and will contact noctie about it. We will also be more vigilant in the future about it.

Thank you @Thibault! I really appreciate that - about contacting Noctie, you should probably send a global message saying that you are not allowed to advertise Noctie in your studies.

If you look at his blog to counter-argue this one im pretty sure it’s AI

@thibault

Thank you :)
