Super sad that its come to this. I was extremely understanding of the situation when Chess inexplicably boomed in 2023 - but so much time has passed and it seems there's been zero improvements to Chess.com's approach to cheaters on the platform.
Not only is this bad for anyone trying to improve at Chess in any time control on Chess.com, but its becoming impossible to properly livestream there as well. My prize arena's are flooded with cheaters, my prize Rapid Swisse tournaments are flooded with cheaters, I pair cheaters frequently in my 2000 ELO speedruns. Even when I play viewers individually half the time its a cheater.
Its just not good enough.
