# How does your anti-cheat work and what do you do to prevent cheating?


### 🤖 How does Checkmate Live’s anti-cheat system work?

Checkmate Live has developed a next-gen anti-cheat system called Sixth-i that combines AI, real-time monitoring, evidence based reporting and human oversight to detect and prevent unfair play. Here’s how we seek to promote a clean and competitive environment:

### 🛡 Our Multi-Layered Anti-Cheat Approach

🤖 **AI-Powered Detection** – Our proprietary Sixth-i AI analyzes game patterns, player behavior, and move accuracy to detect suspicious activity and potential cheating.
📹 **Computer Vision & Real-Time Monitoring** – In high-stakes events, we use video-based detection to monitor gameplay and ensure fair play.
📊 **Statistical & Behavioural Analysis** – Every move is analysed against fair play models, spotting engine use, collusion, and unnatural deviations in decision-making.
⚖ **Fair Play Score & Risk Modeling** – Players are assigned a Fair Play Score **🏅 **based on their behavior and history, identifying potential cheaters early.
👀 **Human Review & Arbitration** – Our **Fair Play Team** manually reviews flagged cases to ensure accuracy and fairness, while Arbiters actively monitor games in real time. 
🔐 **Controlled Data and Vision Distribution** – We limit access to real-time game data to prevent external assistance or unauthorised analysis.


### 🚨 Zero Tolerance for Cheating

Offenders who violate Checkmate Live’s Fair Play Policy will face consequences:

❌ **Immediate disqualification** from events  
⛔ **Account suspensions & permanent bans** (no appeals)  
🏆 **Forfeiture of rewards, titles, and rankings**  
⚖ **Reporting to external integrity bodies** if the instance merits it:

* **♟ Chess Federations** – Including the **Asian Chess Federation** and other governing bodies.
* **🎮 Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC)** – To uphold fair play in competitive gaming.
* **🕵️‍♂️ Law Enforcement & Legal Authorities** – In cases of severe violations, fraud, or match-fixing.
