I was wondering how site administrators identify cheaters? I mean, how would they identify someone who has several accounts? Or someone who is using an engine?

All you need to know is that suspects' games can and are analysed.
As for multi-accounts, sometimes the culprits are spotted in the forums.

As for multiple accounts, simply choosing a different Username and e-mail address won't help. Using the site (and the internet in general) means you're giving away detailed information about your internet connection. Again, if you know what to look for it's easy to spot multiple accounts.
Bottom line: Don't cheat, you WILL be caught.

This is a foolproof method of improving your play and demolishing opponents too stupid or lazy to use outside help. This is a secret though, so keep it on the down low.
