Indication of who is under suspicion after suspected cheating

[trichoplax]

When a game is terminated due to suspected cheating, could the players be told which of them is suspected of cheating? At present the message does not mention which player, leading to the non-cheating player (or non-suspected player) being left wondering if they did something wrong.

Did you have a game terminate from suspected cheating?

Just one, but yes. I think it was about a week ago, maybe Monday 8 December. I can't remember the exact message but I do recall wondering whether it was accusing me or letting me know about an accusation of my opponent.

I wasn't doing anything deliberately wrong (like crafting requests independently of the user interface) but I do sometimes queue up a few premoves in a row and I've noticed that sometimes gives odd results, presumably because of the known inaccuracies raised in #734. It's difficult to tell exactly what happened when a flurry of moves go by all at once that weren't what my premoves had planned for (due to me mispredicting my opponent), but on one occasion it looked like I moved my king over a file that should have been check (safely crossing a file that should have been uncrossable). At the time I wasn't familiar with the interface so didn't think to rewind a few moves and find out for sure. I don't know if that was the same game that reported cheating though.

About a week ago there were a couple cheat reports that came from this bug #807
Do any of these positions look familiar?

This "game aborted for probable cheating" message is supposed to be rare, but nearly all of the messages in the past year have originated from a bug in the game allowing players to legitimately play something illegal in an edge case. When it is only displayed when someone actually cheats, then the frequency of this message is very rare.

But I still think this is a good idea and wouldn't be too hard to implement, as the probable cheater color is already calculated in the logic that handles cheat reports. We could give unique messages to both players.

Both of those look compatible with my playing style (underplanned desperation), but I don't remember them specifically. I only remember seeing the message once though. It's possible one of these was me but I don't have a good memory for positions, having very little experience of chess. If the cheat reports store usernames, mine is phagocyte (different from my username here but not intended to be a secret).

Neither report occurred with players logged in, they were guests.

@trichoplax Do let me know if you notice odd behavior with queuing premoves.
