Cheating the cheaters

Lichess is free software... there really aren't many secrets. If you want to see which games are analyzed, use lichess.org/games/search
I have a few "zero inaccuracy" anti-chess games particularly as black when white started with a known losing move (like e4) and I responded with the known way to beat it. The fact that so many others have beaten it the same way should be a clear indication that it's "common knowledge".

Of course they can't prove that I did really know how to beat it, but that's the same if it's standard chess and I'm sitting here with an openings database (on a totally different device) and simply playing through the "known" line of the opening, albeit it won't last the whole game. I don't do that and it isn't allowed but it's pretty much impossible to detect (at least automatically).

And if I have the odd game with "no inaccuracies" - you'd have to look at my opponents moves and mine and were they pretty much intuitive for a player of my level?

The only real way to combat cheating for online chess is "hybrid" i.e. have them play chess where they are being watched. Even then, some may find a way but it's a vast minority.
il y a beaucoup trop de tricheur sa fait deux fois que je vient de me faire battre part faut compte
I got caught because i didn't know at that time. Now i can get 3000 without getting caught @Orciety
I can beg for a new account, but still it will be watched and spied closely.
I just need to find a way how to hide my IP. :) :)

Lichess would like to know your location
i had a game saying cheat detected on me but no move was matching the engine
You had the analyses tab open, so the game auto resigned. And smart cheaters don't always play the best moves(but they still get caught).
