The chess cheaters only affect the elite.

As a mid level chump at chess.com, any cheater will be ranked way over me.

Depends. It’s probably easier to get away with it longer at lower levels and some people want to experience that sweet sweet win at whatever level they are in.

My point is that if they keep getting those sweet wins, they'll soon have a much higher rating than me.

It's of course possible that some people only cheats occasionally, for whatever reason. People are weird and do weird things...
