This content is gold. I’ve had tournaments where the phones were allowed but had to be off. One of my opponents went to the bathroom during the game and I lost pretty badly, I’m not sure whether he used the engine as I can’t recall the game and is nowhere to be found. It’s so satisfying when a cheater is caught
Zach, today i dreamed I had to play you OTB; i got up during the game to walk for a bit, got entagled with weird issues and didn't manage to get back in time before flagging. Quite stressful.
it simply saddens me to see what has become of chess. I remember times when I played actively and no amateur chess game over the board had any kind of cheating issues. Nobody even thought of cheating, because it was all about the fun of the game. Win or lose, you'll play, analyze, try to improve. Nowadays this is all gone to hell...
The line in the first game is a response to the Anti-London as covered by Agadmator sometimes called the Anti-Anti london. My guess is that white is a London player, black plays the anti-london, and since white cheats the engine found the key parts of the anti-anti London in response. The Anti-london from black is intended purely to disrupt the London. Because white has moved the bishop out so early the b2 pawn is weak so you immediately disrupts whites familiar pawn structure and attack it with Qb6. The most accurate response for white and the key move of the anti-anti london is Na3 or Nc3 which appears to hang the pawn. If they take it with Qxb2 there's Nb5 and the queen is stuck on b2, every square it could move to is covered, while you've got a Jobava style threat on c7 with bishop and knight. If black tries to stop it with Nd5 you just drop the bishop back and kick the knight from the defence with c4. a6 trying to kick the knight doesn't work either because you have Rb1 which forces Qxa2 to save then queen then Ra1 kicking the queen back to b2. Once the A pawn is gone axb5 is no longer a threat and would hang the rook to Rxa8. If black isn't careful they'll lose their queen and it's all around very unpleasant. Generally they're not going to take your b2 pawn, in which case you have Nb5 with a threat on c7. If black anticipates that then they will usually play a6, which is the line given by Agadmator and the best response to Nc3. This is really where Na3 and Nc3 differ. After Nc3 a6 you're knight on c3 is blocking your c pawn which is playable and has its own merits but is generally less pleasant than if the knight were on d2, the canonical square for it in the london. Nf3 allows the knight to jump into c4 after a6 which attacks the queen and if it can ever get to the outpost on b6 it will usually be very well placed. a6 after Na3 would actually be a pretty big mistake. The best move for black after Nf3 is Nd5. Which was played in this game. It preemptively shuts down the threat on c7 and threatens the loose bishop. After that white would be forced to play something like Nc4 maneuvering the knight back from the edge of the board and defending b2 with an attack on the queen. Black then gets Qe6+ moving the queen with tempo, white has to block with Be3 or lose the bishop and play continues. Stockfish finds a line for black which wins a pawn from there and even though white has compensation and the position is very playable it ranks it as -0.3 because of the material imbalance. So it prefers the incredibly ugly Bc1. Not only that stockfish actually thinks black should play d6 after which it will play Nb1 as well, undeveloping all of its pieces to their home squares on move 7 and basically starting the game over which it considers to be +0.10.
Hey, there are reasons Zach didn't name him. You not only name him but basically dox him. This isn't what the chess community is about. There are already rules and consequences by governing bodies for cheaters -- doing what you're doing is frowned upon just like cheating is.. It can lead to real world consequences like harassment, threats and affect people who are innocent but connected to the cheater (like his mother or grandma) Once more, there are many reasons Zach didn't name the cheater. Use your head. Respect the game and the community. We all agree cheaters are the worst and deserve the consequences -- you don't need to be a vigilante or fuel others to inflict their own justice. This is not in the spirit of the sport. If he was born in 2006, he may be under 18 which makes what you're doing so much worse. If you respect Zach and the chess community, don't make us look bad so you can look like some vigilante sleuth.
Name and shame Under 1 500 and you need to cheat? The stress must have been incredible And to play in response to an engine move that never happened. The one I liked in another incident was the cheater did a knight move but the other knight was meant to do the move and so it was a disaster. Here the best knight move also was a disaster as the Queen was eyeing up where the knight landed as again the honest guy did not do the expected move.
Na3 actually isnt that odd, it is one of the options that white has there. if he went with the more common Nc4 after Nd5, then they would reach the main line after Qe6+,Be3. Then black continues development with g6 and putting his bishop either on g7 or h6. Its a very interesting line.
This is the most clear example of a cheater. Low rated player, Leaving the board constantly and playing right when they get back, playing bad when they stay at the board, their odd analysis, and they even play moves that would've been good if the opponent gave the best engine response.
Honestly they should ban all phones and electronic devices from the tournament area. Hand it over to an arbiter or referee as you come in no different than a coat check. If you’re not good enough to play on your own then you’re not good enough to be there.
In these games you may be reading too much in individual moves...to me, the giveaway is the time away from the board and behavior related to that. I have had a game where an opponent was "plugged" into his phone and kept returning to the board and playing moves well above his rating. A player had little recourse back then...
The cheater also missed M6 in the second game and traded the queens. I think Qf2 was the way to get the mate in 6 but it's crazy that a player would miss something like this.
If a player is caught cheating in a rated tournament, strip them of all titles AND rating. Make them start over and struggle against underrated kids in B tourneys.
Cheaters are so annoying. I played two tournaments and in both tournaments I played the guy who won. Both of these players would leave the playing area 8, 9, 10 times during the game. I couldn't think of any reason why anyine woukd need to leave the board that many times during the game, other than to cheat, and both of them won every game. I reported both of them to the tournament arbiters but they didn't do anything to stop it.
Cheaters are so annoying, they ruin chess, especially otb, I only played one tournament and my first opponent kept going to the bathroom and coming back with great moves spending more thinking time in the bathroom rather than the board. I am really hesitant to ever play again otb although I like chess and want to try earning the cm title.
@alecgoudreau6397 thanks for the motivation, I will play again, I haven't stopped studying and playing online. I hope my bad experience will not be a common occurrence in the future.
You need to reveal who this is honestly there’s been cheating going around I even saw it happened in another tournament two months ago they need to be punished and publicly shamed in order to stop them
"finding moves without being there" is called visualisation/blindfold chess. I'd agree that it would be suspicious for ~1400 to do that,but people improve and rating follows after. if it was some U16 or even U20,I wouldn't make much of it. not saying they weren't cheating,but this isn't as much of a red flag as you seem to imply. Bigger problem (for me ) is the h3 without much of a given reason. yea,it's a "normal move",but if you play it,you know why. even if you saw ghosts.
I guess is one of the main reasons why so many people are playing blitz online. We have the impression that cheating happens more often in rapid games. I hate cheaters.
"Intoxifying" -> When someone who doesn't drink wants to talk about someone who is drunk, but doesn't know that the actual word is intoxicated. Thanks Urban Dictionary
That's it. No more toilet breaks. This is the solution: every chess player needs to bring a toilet guard, or toilet buddy. If your opponent needs to go to the toilet, your toilet buddy will accompany them and watch them. People who don't feel comfortable by that can opt out by wearing the Chess Diaper instead. 😂
I disagree with Bc8 being strange in game 2. It was the first place my mind went to for retreating the bishop. I'd rather not trade it off, and it can eventually come back into the game, or affect the game from b7. I'm not a strong player, but Bc8 was my first idea instead of Bd7 just to have it traded off for the knight eventually. Other than that, the first game was hilarious. The reasons the cheater gave in the analysis is really funny. "Ohhh yeah, this was your best move, and I thought you'd play this, so I just played my move as if you DID play that move."
at 25:14, if Bd7, there's Nd7. if black recaptures with the knight then e5 and white is definitely better. if black recaptures with the queen then e5 again nd5 nd5 cd5 and qb3 white is better. not refuting the fact that he was cheating but Bc8 is pretty natural if you think for a few seconds.

First guy did not cheat. It is simply very easy for low level players to get a decent game out of queens pawn opening as white. Black has almost zero threats or initiative even with perfect play and essentially takes the role of waiting for the opp to massively blunder.
Given this is a long standing problem, tournament organisers should take steps to make sure players don't have devices that can be used to cheat. Not only to check against cheating, but to protect honest players from undeserved accusations. It's getting to be like you can't play a decent move without being suspected of cheating :(
The best indication, that a OTB tournament is swarmed by cheaters is, that non-cheating players need to pee into flower pots, while the restroom is crowded with smart-phone geniuses...
There were two playing halls. One auditorium with the top boards and streamers (behind which a bathroom) and one main hall with ~120 boards, (and also another private room for top boards (like boards 12-25).
If you want to see how prevalent cheating in chess has become, look no further than Chess Universe. This chess site shows the highest rated opponent you have beaten. All you have to do is click below the opponents handle. You cant erase it. There are approximately 85% cheaters there. According to the stats many players under 1600 have beaten opponents with GM ratings! These clowns know nothing about opening principles, and never have an opening repertoire! One had stats that said he bested a 4000 (THATS FOUR THOUSAND!!) rated opponent! I analyze every game I play. Every....single....one. Since about 2004 anyways.
This guy was clearly very bad at cheating though. If this guy was a solid player with some common sense, and only went to check 1 or 2 moves. No one would have caught him, even though using a phone is the easiest and most brainless way to cheat
intoxifying the bishop? why have these violent analogies at all in your rhetoric of chess? Why does everyone consider it analogous to war? chess is a game of peace primarily because stalemate is a draw.
i dont know why cheater do this... i mean ...whats the point... prove you can play engine moves??...each time im like why???....chess is fun when you are the genius who find the move...i just cant find the point...money??..dude we talk about chess here... if you want money get a job you gonna do way more money!!! only magnus make enought money to live with chess,maybe hikaru....thats crazy!!! haha
Finally🔥... Been waiting for your videos🙇🏽♂️... Anyway I'm stuck in high 1300s and low1400s ELO been stuck for a year my goal is 1600 what can I do to get out of this plateau? Any help will be appreciated 🙇🏽♂️
I’ve played 1500s (that are not cheating) OTB that can sometimes play at master level for 15-20 moves, because they’re playing a prepared line they know and understand decently well That’s just how chess can go in this era, as Carlsen once said “there’s theory on everything these days” and even intermediate level players can learn and understand some complex ideas But clearly this guy was a blatant cheater, absolutely no question
@@ifbfmto9338 no but like the level of playing of 1800 and even the 1400, are lower than they actually are. Most 1800 people are supposed to play like 2100, the reason why they struggle to proceed is that there is a lost of competition. thats why so many junior player beat very good grandmasters. when I was a 1800 I never played like this
@@marxcarton3858I think the level of chess ability, relative to rating, has increased noticeably over the last decade Meaning, I think an 1800 now, plays at the level of maybe a 2000 player 10 years ago I truly believe this, I think the rating deflation is significant
Rafael can be very good i consider 1800 extremely underrated for him he is on his way to 2000 one bad game after a tough loss is not a sign that he is bad
Something missing from this analysis...... even when the moves are not obviously computer moves... something is still wrong. Anyone who has this much theory memorized would not have a score of only 1400. Playing right on theory for so many moves is not a sign of a 1400 player.
@RCaturra checked the tournament details. A 1495 played like 5 rounds, in which he played both Rafael and the other dude. Also he didn't get points for his games.

Every....single....one. Since about 2004 anyways.
Hehe. And so BAD at even cheating! Sheesh. What a loser.
ah yes Bc8, let's initiate the procedure
ZACH WHAT IS YOUR UPDATED FIDE RATING?
This guy was clearly very bad at cheating though. If this guy was a solid player with some common sense, and only went to check 1 or 2 moves. No one would have caught him, even though using a phone is the easiest and most brainless way to cheat
Did Rafael suffer the rating loss of the game?
That guy must of had to go pee so bad so many times
intoxifying the bishop? why have these violent analogies at all in your rhetoric of chess? Why does everyone consider it analogous to war? chess is a game of peace primarily because stalemate is a draw.
i dont know why cheater do this... i mean ...whats the point... prove you can play engine moves??...each time im like why???....chess is fun when you are the genius who find the move...i just cant find the point...money??..dude we talk about chess here... if you want money get a job you gonna do way more money!!! only magnus make enought money to live with chess,maybe hikaru....thats crazy!!! haha
Why would cheat at
Zach how tall are you?
interesting video ... thanks
He was a terrible cheater
Have to leave a comment and a like to support a small UA-camr
Alireza, why is your rating so low? 😅
Bc8... Veryyy interesting... Lmao
Finally🔥... Been waiting for your videos🙇🏽♂️... Anyway I'm stuck in high 1300s and low1400s ELO been stuck for a year my goal is 1600 what can I do to get out of this plateau? Any help will be appreciated 🙇🏽♂️
Is it in rapid or blitz??
@Vihaan-p6c both
@@AngelicDemon-uy9ro in rapid you generally just need to think about you opponents moves, blunder less and learn tactics
i dont have instagram how can i send you my brilliants?
just don’t 💀

funny ches momment
Ok even though his dumbass was cheating, some of the level of these 1800 playing is really suprising me, (not in a good way)
I’ve played 1500s (that are not cheating) OTB that can sometimes play at master level for 15-20 moves, because they’re playing a prepared line they know and understand decently well
That’s just how chess can go in this era, as Carlsen once said “there’s theory on everything these days” and even intermediate level players can learn and understand some complex ideas
But clearly this guy was a blatant cheater, absolutely no question
@@ifbfmto9338i have draw this cheater in a classical game before we started cheating, its so blatant
@@ifbfmto9338 no but like the level of playing of 1800 and even the 1400, are lower than they actually are. Most 1800 people are supposed to play like 2100, the reason why they struggle to proceed is that there is a lost of competition. thats why so many junior player beat very good grandmasters. when I was a 1800 I never played like this
@@marxcarton3858I think the level of chess ability, relative to rating, has increased noticeably over the last decade
Meaning, I think an 1800 now, plays at the level of maybe a 2000 player 10 years ago
I truly believe this, I think the rating deflation is significant
Rafael can be very good i consider 1800 extremely underrated for him he is on his way to 2000 one bad game after a tough loss is not a sign that he is bad
Something missing from this analysis...... even when the moves are not obviously computer moves... something is still wrong. Anyone who has this much theory memorized would not have a score of only 1400. Playing right on theory for so many moves is not a sign of a 1400 player.
Hi
Not the greatest of cheaters, huh?
His name is Martim Garcez. Shame that he was cheating. Dont cheat. Get some help.
I dont believe you, how do you know that?
@RCaturra checked the tournament details. A 1495 played like 5 rounds, in which he played both Rafael and the other dude. Also he didn't get points for his games.
The game results were shown but there were no moves shown, which means he was forfeited
the damn retard. hope his ass gets banned from further tournaments
@galahenad3889 can you send me the link please
dude stop the silly giggling and laughing...it just isnt mature
FADAZ
M A R TI M G AR CEZ HIS IS NAME
Many congratulations Ma4tim Garc3z, you managed to achieve a brilliant result in your career! It's a shame that this result is nothing more than a big big big pile of shit!!! We really appreciate your effort and your art of cheating, but the reality is that you're just a bunch of shit who can't win a damn game without going to your cell phone.
Congratulations and we hope to tell your career what your opponents say to you at the end of each game "Checkmate"!!
I don’t know about the first game.
This whole “a 1400 can or can’t find this” is absolute elitist nonsense . For eg, I’ve many times developed a piece wrong and taken the L and developed it right (Be2, Bd3)
And also I have done that thing where I touched a piece , realize it’s gonna hang and make a different move . I

Becourse Its FIDI that is ment to punish him from cheeting, not the MOB
