"Stealth" cheaters?

#19 my point was that you havent reported anyone for six months. Still you claim to recently have seen "stealth" cheaters. If that was the case why wouldnt you report them? So from my perspective it seems like you are intentionally misleading lichess users.

This is going smooth...

@seanysean It's a stealthy topic ...

Indeed :)

I agree with @lovlas

Ultimately, who cares? If someone decides to use an engine against me, I'm happy, because it means I get a chance to improve my chess. I play against engines quite a lot and I've even managed to win a game or 2 against them.

Also utter bs about rating differentials. All ratings are reflective of is consistency of play.

Looking at my analytics for example, I gain the most rating points (2.1 gain) against 'much stronger' rated players, while I lose the most (-4.2) against 'much weaker' opponents.

@lovlas Again, i've never claimed that and i said i don't bother to report cheaters anymore, also explaining my reasons. Maybe was my way of expressing myself, as english is not my first language, but other people didn't seem to understand it your way. I had my doubts if that was a sign of cheating, and already made clear at the first page of this post that after reading other far more experienced opinions "it's difficult to tell if that's is a sign of cheating". So ... if you want to understand it your way i've no problem with that, unless it can be a reason to ban me and you have the powers to do that, haha.

@GCHQ I agree with you, i don't really care, it was just simple curiosity, as i just play people in the 1450-1950 range, and it surprised me a little bit when i first noticed this.

@Asius if you're not bothering to report cheaters then what is the aim of this topic? "I think there are some people who look to me like a stealth cheaters, but I'll not tell anyone who, haha, and just say I think lichess doesn't handle them properly. Discuss this now."

>> i don't bother to report cheaters anymore, also explaining my reasons.
Well, if your reasons behind not reporting are "I don't see anything such in their statistics that couldn't happen with me" [as I suppose by your reasoning in #14], then why are you claiming in #1 that "a lot of players" look like "you can guess they cheated several times"? Also you use the word "lately", and despite English is not your first language I doubt you apply it to 6 months ago cases, so we can draw a conclusion that you really didn't report these "a lot of players" you refer to.
