| Maybe, but there are also few rapid "speed" runs, like from Daniel Naroditsky, while he has also faced cheaters, it doesn't seem 1 out of 7. And Daniel Naroditsky definitely would have good internal cheating detection even when the user does it sparingly, as he can basically understand most lower rated opponent moves, and if it seems too good for this rating, he can know this from just few moves. Check Daniel's rapid speed run account:
https://www.chess.com/member/ohmylands 145 wins and 3 losses. The 3 losses had, were lost purposely, if you look here in 3 or 4 moves with 5 accuracy, for whatever reason (to drop ELO?).
https://www.chess.com/games/archive/ohmylands?gameOwner=othe... If there were 1 out of 7 opponents using an engine, he would never have 145 wins against 0 losses. And again for bullet and blitz there are also quite many examples with 100W to 0L. If you'd look at all the speed run videos Daniel has done, it definitely doesn't seem 1 out of 7. Daniel also posts all the times he's facing a cheater to youtube, same with Chessbrah and others as it makes for a good content, good views as people are always interested in seeing a GM playing against a cheater. |
Not sure what the aim of cheating is, probably going from a rating of 1500 to 2000 and the status that it brings. In the end you still win 50% of the games, just against higher rated players.
Playing against a GM would reveal your cheating instantly, it seems. It's like robbing the police station :)
