This should be fine

Hominidae, is it fine for us to cancel our current match and have Awhailnah take their spot back?

Since it's a round robin we can arrange for 9 players instead of 8

i mean i'm playing with the intent of filling in; if it's not too inconvenient for hominidae i think it would be best to just change the player in the bracket since i don't really care if i play or not and awhailnah specifically signed up to play

If it's not too late, I'd also be willing to jump in and give the extra player an opponent.

I would like to play you as to not cause any more delays.

Go ahead! Just put your lichess username in the thread and start the match whenever both of you are ready

So now it's a 10 player tournament?

So now it's a 10 player tournament?

Seems so. Let's cap it there.

Can someone explain me what happened to one of my games vs DougJoe?
I was exploring the Lichess site and found the "Analysis Board" feature. I copied the moves of one game and started experimenting with the feature, and suddenly that game ended because of "Cheat Detected". What???

[Ernst_Brenner]

I don't know if this happened, but you can turn on computer evaluation in the analysis board with a toggle on the top right. It's to the left of a line that says: "SF 16 . 7 MB NNUE in local browser" Mousing over the switch says "Toggle local evaluation".

I would guess they might count that as cheating, although I think they could make the mouseover clearer, maybe call it 'local computer evaluation' or something.

[gimix]

Yes, I believe that's what happened, although I'm not sure whether the position under analysis was the current one in the actual game (I would say I hadn't inserted all the moves, just a few).
I understand it can be considered a cheating attempt, and I'm feeling a bit stupid about that. But then it would be so easy to disable the feature or just issue a warning instead of allowing a stupid user to use the function and then say "you cheated".

It's a pity because we were in an interesting position, but ok.

Yeah, if you copied the game over then turned the evaluation engine on the site would consider that a cheat attempt. Chess.com has similar rules, although I don't remember if they actively try to prevent it or not (by warning you or preventing the engine from being enabled in the same use case.)

I'm cool with starting over. The only question is: do we want to "replay" back to the same position or not?
