How i cheated!

1. I am sorry, but I have found a way to cheat on lichess for classical games.
2. I admit I cheated for 3 (and only 3 games)
3.If lichess can give my oppenents their points(rating) back, i would be glad.
4. I plead lichess moderators, not to remove me from the site as i will not cheat again.
5. i did not get caught. Its been a week and i am playing without any interuption.

How I cheated (and probably how many others are too!)

I opened a new tab and opened the analysis board on lichess.org and simply enabled the computer moves.

I again plead lichess moderators, not to remove me from the site as i will not cheat again.

SORRY
so, what shall we do? electric chair? lethal injection? employ the guillotine?

...

i respect you coming out honest about it before you got caught, i'd guess you weren't reported because i feel that method should be caught easily. i say you should be forgiven but that's not for me to decide.
"I opened a new tab and opened the analysis board on lichess.org and simply enabled the computer moves."

and manually relayed the moves between the two tabs, I'm sure; nothing simple about that! Even so, I could have sworn lichess already tracks this sort of thing...
It's monitored, for instance this game en.lichess.org/hQ5MLneg/black is registered as window switching.

3 games out of 1900 might not be enough for a mod to decide to mark as engine.

But now that you confirmed it, justice can be done.
Why do people cheat here? It's much more rewarding to cheat on FIDE rated international tournaments where cash, trophies, titles are awarded. Here you get nothing. Perhaps some worthless bitcoins.
Why do people cheat here? Good question Tangelo.

Worth pondering.
@Tangelo777 The reason people cheat is they have low self-esteem of themselves and they feel like to motivate themselves and make it seem like that they're better than everyone.
