Yea you can get banned so DON'T DO IT. Generally I think that we shouldn't really discuss these things in public forums because we're taking a risk of getting banned.

Oh. Well I thought they were just bots

ANYWAYS

Guess what

Cheat by getting good ;D (Basically no cheating just do puzzles and get good at chess)

That's the spirit. Chess isn't so much about winning, it's about improving your game. Nothing beats the feeling of noticing that you actually understand the game better, and no longer struggle with the stuff you had problems with before.

In OTB competition, I really don't mind losing, if it is a game well played. Winning a game because my opponent messed up really isn't as much fun.

Someone who cheats at a game even when there is nothing at stake like here isn't someone who'd you leave your wallet unattended with. Someone you can't entrust your wallet, you wouldn't have to do with. Basically, someone who cheats at chess, you can't trust with anything else.

if chess is a sport an art and a science, cheating would be a crime for sport, an insult for art, dishonesty for science.

Cheating in chess is like cheating your'e girlfriend/wife. Whats the point to have a girfriend/wife that you sex with others instead? Its more logic to be single then? Or cheating at school with exams....It's pointless to cheat. You dondt fool others til the end, you only fool yourself.

You only cheat one or two moves. In actual fact, Cheating help me improve my position. I saw some good tactics so I decided to cheat at a lower level instead of some professional level. If you don't cheat, your rating never go up and you meet weaker opponent. Your rating in fact is the same every year with no improvement. you might as well on the engine for 1 or 2 games out of 1000 games to cheat.

I don't know why you would say this. I guess cheaters aren't known for their cleverness.

Have fun being banned!

Op is attention seeking or crazy.IGNORE home.
