I lost to a cheater, and I would like to know who...

I lost to a cheater (and got my points restored, thank you) but is the game then deleted from the records? I'm just curious to see if I can find who it was...

Go to your homepage and check out your gamehistory. Hover your mouse over the opponent in your last 1-8 games.

Thanks! That's a good tip!

Lichess does not tell the cheater due to privacy issues. However, feel free to check your games and find him if you want to.

As far as I am aware, no game is really lost. The games played against people, who break the ToS are still there - their account is flagged. If you play against someone who deletes their account, their account will be named "ghost", but the game - the game is still there.

Are there cheaters here? And what do their cheats look like ?

@Serg_Dolgikh you know ... most typically, running an engine for your game and playing computer moves?

or having a much stronger person play for you or using them for hints?

@Cedur216
It still seeIt still seems to me that having someone who plays well, and he will play for you, is not a crime (

It may not be a crime, but it's classed as cheating on Lichess and for good reason.

Another note for the OP- remember that while you may have played a cheater, it doesn't mean they cheated against you, they may have cheated in other games.

Lichess does not want to shame player
