<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;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:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Larry "Long Pause"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Sal "Smooth Moves"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Oliver "Obvious Recapture"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Donald "Decoy Move"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Peter "Perfect Attack"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Orlando "Only When Needed"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;David "Deliberate Early Blunder"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Referenced:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@LongIslandCC" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"&gt;Long Island Chess Club YouTube Channel&lt;/a&gt; (instructional videos for busy adult club players - still a work in progress...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;📧 If you have a question or topic idea for a future episode, e-mail us at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href= "mailto:info@thechessangle.com"&gt;info@thechessangle.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🎯 Our Links: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.thechessangle.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Website&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.twitter.com/thechessangle" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Twitter (X)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHNy9CGyP_X5fGsGz3oXvuA" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YouTube&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style= "font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thechessangle" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy Me a Coffee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

Description

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"
