Yah, I know about slow play, too, and it's effective against me when I'm in the mode "Eh, I didn't really have time for this game, but one more!"

But -- if you're over 2000, surely you've encountered cheaters and understand the difference that I'm driving at.

It's rather blatant, and on Chess.com I almost always get an email a couple weeks later that they were removed for cheating and that I got rating points back, and when I look back on Lichess I often find them banned. I don't even bother reporting anymore.

If it's early enough in the game that I realize it, I can just get into a closed, very-slow-to-progress position and watch them clock flag. But that's still a waste of 10 minutes of my life.
