This week, we share our thoughts about online chess cheating. We believe it is rampant, while the online servers seem to downplay the amount of cheating taking place. We hypothesize that cheaters are using specific methods in an attempt to avoid detection, and we created nicknames for these players. We discuss the following cheating personalities and more:
- Larry "Long Pause"
- Sal "Smooth Moves"
- Oliver "Obvious Recapture"
- Donald "Decoy Move"
- Peter "Perfect Attack"
- Orlando "Only When Needed"
- David "Deliberate Early Blunder"
