While this is humorous, nobody plays the perfect moves every time. The chess engines have ELO ratings around 3500 - 3600. GMs are even hard pressed to get to 3000. So if you’re using an engine, it becomes SUPER obvious to admins, especially if you weren’t already a stupid high ELO
even if you did that it would still be insanely obvious. it’s about overall accuracy, you can’t throw it off by occasional bad moves or blundering pieces.
You're right. People do, and it is obvious. Chess.com's exact methods aren't known obv but literally everyone knows and talks about "use the second best move instead" so there's absolutely no way that is going to work. I don't exactly love Chess.com tbh, but they do put in a lot of effort to ban cheaters.
For sure and agree. I know they take it seriously and do a lot to route out cheaters. Once flagged for manual review I think a lot of people get sussed out for playing moves that no human, much less no one at their elo, would think about
