... and their profile do not have any note about this. How can I protect myself against these liars?
Don't play against anonymous users.
If you play unratet games you have not really a choice
#3 You have a choice, you can exclude anonymous users from your unrated games. Check the "Members only" box when you create a game.
OK, it was so small I have never noticed it. Thank you.
I have only played a couple anon cheaters in entirety. And I play them a lot... Most cheaters I encounter are members that have <30 games played.
There's a lot of weird people on the internet with wacko views and habits. Especially avoid anon players.
Actually lots of 2000+ and 1600 till 1700 player uses software to win the game, I can feel it when playing against them but there is nothing we can do and nothing lichess can do as well, I can use software too if I want but my true purpose of playing chess is to train my brain ad my mindset so I rather play with my own strength!
@ Avoid anon players:
Nonsense.
Anonymous players are a mixture society.
Yes, you should not be afraid to encounter people who use computer assistance, neither should you be afraid to face some rather pathetic behavior like takeback/draw offer spam, abandon games and letting time run out. Don't get angry about trash talk, laugh about it. Just as your mom would. ;-)
And if you don't like what is happening: Next!
Sounds like there are only downsides huh? No there are not. Not every strong player that crushes you in a series of games actually is a dirty cheater. You have no information about the opponent but his play. A fine thing for both sides. And from time to time it happens you face an opponent that does take the time to play with you over and over again, even if he is a way stronger player. Might turn out to be an GM who sold his soul to chess.com but comes to lichess for the beauty of the site to play some casual games as Anonymous.
Try not to shout out cheater, but try to assume they are just good players and talk to them. Maybe you just did receive a free lecture, and if you are a friendly person, you may receive another one.
And if you meet Ranshid from India try to explain him he wont meet any girls that way.
Forrest Gump would have put it this way:
Playing as Anonymous is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get.
