I know of people during lockdown who are able to get round these checks by being smart - I'm not going to say publicly how this works incase I give people ideas, but if anyone at CS is interested in these concerns, please drop me a line and I will be happy to explain - I even have the maths to back it up! I would suggest also having an independent panel to review "suspicious" games, of a sufficient strength to understand what is likely human and likely assisted. Relying on platforms is not enough here - as we do not have enough oversight of how this is done in terms of how much human interaction there is and how many factors are considered (although some platforms are better than others on this).
Firstly - I 100% agree that online games be screened.
Can I bring to your attention the Chess Scotland Anti-Cheating Policy link indicated
This policy document was revised in June 2020 and was updated to include online chess.
Section 4 addresses the highly relevant "Scottish Anti-Cheating Committee"
