Why is cheating in chess wrong?

I would rather play fair and stay in the same rating than have to lose my account and start over in a new account.

Why not? xD

My thought is that chess is a hard game. Me and my opponent who's cheating are in this together. I am thinking that if you are not good in chess it's okay. I lost some points last night because I tried to be fancy. It happens to everyone else. If you're not comfortable with playing chess, quit it.

Wut the * is that

Even if I wanted to cheat I dont know how to tbh idc then

Cheating is wrong in chess bc cheating in general is wrong... Doesn't matter if the subject is hard or not. If you cheat, you cheat...
