Cheating in chess has emerged as a significant concern with the advent of advanced technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. This paper presents the partial findings of a broader project investigating the complexities of cheating in over-the-board and online chess. It only analyses the results from an online chess experiment featuring 24 expert players. The findings explore the conditions under which suspicions arise, the arguments for and against allegations, and the tactics employed by those players that could cheat by using external aid during the experiment.
