I've been playing with this idea to build an estimation of chess cheating likelihood from an exported chess game (PGN format).The main thing I've developed so far is a way of estimating the complexity of each position. The intuition is that matching an engine's top moves in difficult positions is much more informative than doing so when there's an obvious best move.The detector currently combines complexity with engine agreement and centipawn loss to make a prediction. I'd like to move beyond the heuristics and train an ML model on a decent dataset of known cheating/non-cheating games.There is an obvious limitation though: I have fewer signals available than than Chess.com/Lichess. I general

Chess Cheater Detector is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
