Just a quick question about chess I'm aware that there are platforms that combine this game with gambling. My question is, how do we prevent cheaters on this? For example, I play chess online while another computer simulates his moves, and what is the best move to counter it. It's a form of cheating because you can counter it in no time by simply watching the moves. This is really dumb because you are not showing your skills but if the money involves then i think there will be person that will cheat so that he will win
Cheaters will appear not just to win and indulge their sports ego, but to make money in gambling chees by cheating. The usual implementation of chess, like other games on gambling site, will not be enough and additional means of controlling cheaters will be required. Someone has already talked about cameras, and two.
I think that too many difficulties arise with the control of cheaters, which entails additional costs for the organizers and whether chess will attract a large number of players is also in doubt. The answer to why is below.
This is just basing up with my own view on why theres no platforms adopt it.
1. Less demand/interest
2. Boring to look at (Less physical movement etc)
3. Time consuming
So its not surprising that platforms would simply just ignore this one.
Only true chess fans can overcome these 3 obstacles. This will immediately repel beginners and they will better go to play online games like moba or shooters. In general, it seems to me that the number of new chess players is steadily declining with the development of technology and the spread of the Internet. It’s easier for people to play on their phones and scroll through the social media feed. It’s easier for people to play on their phones and scroll through the social media feed.
