Brown Bag Seminar with Knut Peder Heen

"A heuristic for finding cheating in chess"

Abstract:

This article argues by casual empirics that a low draw percent in chess may work as a simplified cheating indicator. Data from a large number of historical chess games (53,331) indicate that this extremely simple heuristic may be used as a first test if suspicion of cheating arises for professional chess players. This heuristic does not prove any cheating, but it may be applied as a quick primal indicator of potential cheating behaviour for a player suspected of cheating.
