The Rise in Online Cheating

It's not terribly surprising that with a rise in online chess and meaningful online events due to the pandemic, there's more online cheating as well. To see how much, and how big a problem it is, have a look here. (Of course, Ken Regan makes an appearance - what article on the topic of cheating in chess would be complete without him? Hopefully the association won't saddle him, in years to come, with a fate like Damiano's. The terrible opening 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6? is called Damiano's Defense, but the problem is that he didn't play this garbage line, but analyzed its refutation, 3.Nxe5! Poor guy.)
