online chess has way more cheaters than is said, the percentage is way higher than any statistic says

Ken Regan did an analysis of Titled Tuesday vs OTB blitz WCH. There was no statistical difference in the distribution of wins. So no evidence of widespread cheating in Titled Tuesdays at least.

Seems like most "facts" here have bases in emotion rather than evidence and statistics.

A 'hot take' is an OPINION which is considered controversial.

Online chess is not 'real' chess, but a variant. Real chess is Otb. I still love playing online but the added variables like mouse slips and internet connections going out give it too many external variables. Playing online should still be done, but as funner, practice and analysis
