Tbh this scandal only reminds me there is no point in playing a game like chess or go online for fun.

I'm confused, do you mean besides for fun?

You are. You can't play for fun when you have no idea if you're playing against another human or Stockfish (or whatever is in fashion this week).

You don't need to worry about that unless you're playing at GM level for fun. For most people they'll pretty much never run into cheating

You mean chess.com has the resources to police all casual players? :)

Cheating results in high ELO so it takes care of itself.

In casual unrated games right?

Or any game online, really. Couch multiplayer is the way.

I've played a few online competitive games that were fun. But if you go to the mainstream games you end up with kids calling you a stupid noob ... when you beat them. Weaned me off StarCraft at the least.
