100% this.
Otherwise it sounds like a free pass for cheaters to me which I would imagine would put people off entering. I'm hoping its a case of word salad from Ian there.
I agree. All games should be screened.
I would take it even further and follow Nakamura's suggestion of two webcams. Players must join a Zoom call while they play but also join the call using a second device (mobile phone) that is setup behind them. If these Anti-cheating measures were put in place I know I would play and I suspect a lot of other people who are concerned about online cheating would play. There is so much potential with online play but I think many players are put off by the potential of cheaters. If webcams became normal practice for chess players I think you could see a real growth of chess in Scotland. Just my own thoughts...
