Why did this happen?

So I was playing a correspondence game on lichess, and it was a very complicated Sicilian Sozin variation of the Najdorf. I didn't remember any theory, so I opened the analysis board. Now I usually like to consult the engine as well while preparing, and so I switched on the engine. I think by mistake the game was open in another tab, so this happens:



I don't understand? Can't you prepare the opening while playing a correspondence game?

P.S. - Of course I didn't intend to cheat, it was 7 moves in and common opening position. I just wanted to know the theory.

Stop using engine/ Stop cheating.
You are lucky that it cost you just one game.

P.S , Lichess has very impressive system that detect engine use.

Read the post; I just said that I did use the engine.. but it was to prepare the opening. Why would I cheat 7 moves into the game, it's a theoretical position ffs. I am also playing a otb tournament right now and didn't want to be unprepared for a Sicilian Sozin mainline.

next time use another machine Koustav! And anyone who's familiar with you knows you're not a cheater!

I was too lazy to switch on ChessBase to prepare :)

Are you saying that you will use the ChessBase engine during your next rated games? Please confirm to save us some time.

...

So, you have read the ToS? You agreed, did you?

Last chance: read it and follow the advice!

No I am saying next time I will use ChessBase instead to prepare the variation. I don't think you understand, but the Sicilian Najdorf is a part of my repertoire, and I'm playing in a tournament, and I need to have something against the Sozin. I really, really don't care enough to even bother to cheat on an online website.

P.S. I don't think I am using good enough English to communicate :)

Whether or not you use the engine to know each move you make or just make one move/view outcomes, it still is, in fact, cheating.
