given the fact that your opponent is not sat in front of you is it considered that a good few people might cheat at online chess?not me by the way.

People who cheat to win at chess are sad people indeed.... but yes, in correspondence chess, it is possible and [perhaps] inevitable that some people will gain unfair assistance.

Those said people should play something easier on the brain... like blackjack or something.

Of course. They can cheat when they sit in front of you, too. Plenty of people have been busted for doing it.
