about cheaters

You people the ones who think analyzing after the game proves anything (except you lost) or think chessbase or some other database had something to do with your loss,are loosers that is why you lost. Do you really think in a Blitz game someone has time to look up every move. To put it another way it is easier to blame the winner for cheating then it is for you to win!
This is the internet only one person looks bad when you blame YOUR loss on cheating YOU!
I've never done it but in a 3 minute game I don't think it would be too hard to cheat. Anything less isn't realistic IMO but 3 minutes is plenty. However, yes, most people don't cheat. I have never reported anyone, although I have been suspicious about 2 or 3 people. Twice I have logged in to see I was refunded points due to playing a cheater. Maybe it was the same 2 people, maybe not.

To someone's point about "why play chess, computers are better." Well, people play tennis even though no one will ever beat a wall.
@Stephenson wow, You are so uninformed. Of course there are ways to cheat in blitz, history knows GMs getting banned from one famous tournament due to using engine assistance in BLITZ games, you're welcome ;)

Well, I just downloaded this add on to Chrome. It is called chess bot. I went through the motions to see what the user does, and quickly resigned the game after 4 moves.

I urge you to download chess bot, add it to your google chrome, and then fire up a game on lichess. You would have to be a fool to think people are not using these cheats. And, you basically are an idiot for cheating at chess in this way.

And, please, there is no way for the cheating to be detected.
RedGiraffe you basically called me an Idiot and a cheater I take great offense at that and you admitted you have a cheat devise on your computer that can not be detected I hope the Mods read what you wrote.
The device was something I learned about in this topic. I only wanted to see how it worked. And, I will never cheat in a game, ever. I am a bit confused by your reply here. But, if the moderators want to kick me off, so be it. They are kicking someone off who is trying his best to get this site to introspect and improve.

The point is simple Stephenson, cheating exists on this site and other sites like it. Just enjoying a simple game of chess is not enough anymore, and to me this is very sad and speaks for difficult times ahead for chess in general.

I have never complained about an opponent, but many days I watch chess and on two occasions I watched 2000+ players play and one of them keeps making really weird moves. After the game I look at the analysis and then look at their game history. Both times they were new accounts with zero loses. Obvious cheating. I reported and lichess took action.
As for the games. I'm playing for my mind. If I play good according to my personal evaluation of my play but still lose, it's still a good game. Ratings here mean little. So just enjoy.

Between the quotes are your words as English probably not your native language it is slightly understandable for the way you wrote. But that leaves the fact you installed a device that allows cheating (undetectable according to you)
Even if some one cheated what did any one lose? this is the INTERNET after all
