Comment on Irwin – the protector of Lichess from all chess players villainous

Comments

Now we have a computer effectively accusing people of fraud (if I understand correctly). How does Irwin address the obvious risks and dangers?

What obvious risks and dangers?

False positives, I assume.

It doesn't address them. The original maintainer clark something never responded. Ornicar closed the issue. The false positive rate is pretty high but they don't care since you can sign up with a new account in a few seconds.

Not sure if it's the same at Lichess, but chess.com flags potential cheaters, and they get reviewed by experts to determine if they are just a very strong player or a cheater.

A few of younger up and coming players were flagged.
