I was browsing the help file,
but can't seem to find any specific info, so I'll ask here:
What exactly is considered cheating on this site?
The TOS says this though -
3(b) While a game is in progress you may not refer to chess engines, chess computers or be assisted by a third party. Endgame tablebases may not be consulted during play but you may reference books, databases consisting of previously played games between human players, and other pre-existing research materials.
It should be common sense.
Use every means at your disposal to prepare for a game (opening theory, lerning from books, analysing old games) and every means at your disposal after the game to analyse it.
Use only your mind during the game.
Most people just want a good contest against you - not a chess engine.
If you think you might be cheating - you most probably are 🙂

I think I am cheating by having two queens on the board. How did that happen? My opponent is not happy.
