This is great timing. I was thinking about playing some chess again after reminiscing about 286 Battlechess. Thanks.

I know someone who worked on cheat detection in chess using ML. The solution turned out to be rather amusing, but I won’t disclose it here for obvious reasons. If you figure it out, it’ll probably amuse you too.
