Chess’s popularity is booming, and one app — Chess.com — has rolled up the competition and far outpaces its rivals. There were 12.5 billion games played on the platform last year, vastly more than the billion games at Lichess. One thing the platform has to police is cheating, which is especially difficult now that computers have vastly surpassed humans at the game; the best chess engine is able to rack up a 3,586 Elo rating, well higher than the 2,100 level for an expert and 2,882 human record. The company bans about 90,000 players a month for cheating.
