Anti-cheating rules

Please do not use any assistance when playing e.g. software or books.

Lichess has anti-cheating software. For this tournament, it is essential that all games are played as ‘rated games’ and not ‘casual games’ so that the anti-cheating software will be turned on.

In the event that Lichess identifies cheating, then please finish the game if you can and let me know what happened so that I can investigate.

In addition, if anyone thinks another player is cheating, please let me know on a confidential basis so that I can investigate.
