How about cheating in chess!

I'm just waiting for Manfred to issue the report on the Red Sox and Alex Cora.
My assumption is Cora would have "improved' on the cheating in Houston with Boston.

The 1-2 year interruption in MLB regular seasons will play right into Farhan's plan...expensive players will be out of sight, young players will come up from the minors and be ready to go.

Online chess cheating is old news. We had a ton back 15 or more years ago when I was helping run some of the first internet chess servers like chessclub.com and freechess.org.
It's sad to hear of players, even legit masters, trying to cheat in over the board play.

I hear there are people who cheat at Words with Friends, which is beyond dumb in my book. I’ve never been much of a gracious loser, but after months of playing WwF, I’m getting *much* better at it. (My usual opponent does not cheat, I’m sure, but she’s a whole lot better than I am at it.)

I played WwF a lot many years ago and someone accuse me of cheating and quit the game because I used the word "uranic". I'm a nuclear physicist, it's a word I know! (Although typically in the form transuranic, but whatever, WwF took it.)
Although I did actually cheat at online scrabble one time against my brother because I thought it would be funny. I told him afterward though.

I don't like to play online games that allow you to cheat.
