Speed Chess and More

For the last few years, have encountered thousands of these anonymous, non-human like accounts in the general player pool. Who is making these bots? Are they just little stupid kids with engines, or dystopian AI monsters creating their Ai utopia?

I was unbeaten in a Lichess Tournament recently and only got fourth place. But the next day a cheater was banned, and I got the bronze medal!

My first Lichess tournament win. I beat higher rated players for the 100% win rate.

I got beat by this cheater and lost precious ranking points during a three minute blitz tournament on Lichess. This is a regular occurrence but rarely caught and banned. tunetank.com_5223_change-the-game_by_stringerbell.mp3

Where you can find older versions of chess software that you can use to train with or just go down the nostalgia path.

I am trying to show the amount of strange, weird, unusual and suspicious players I encounter every time I play chess on the two most popular chess sites. Is this the Dead Internet Theory, or what? Why so many artificial accounts? Is it cheaters using bots or a larger...dare I say it...Conspiracy!

My encounter with someone playing the Borg Chess Opening. I refuse to become part of the Borg and beat them in a speed chess game on Lichess.

My take on the whole dead internet theory and chess. How will it affect gaming online? Are there too many chess playing bots on the chess sites?
