Petition for correspondence tournaments

You cannot detect it for correspondence."

I just explained to you that chess.com detects it for correspondence every day.

But maybe you know something that all their paid experts don't know. If so, they should hire you as a consultant so you can explain to them what they are doing wrong.

If c.com bans a few patsies does not mean they have engine free correspondence.
Carlsen said in an interview that he only plays bullet online because of cheating.
He also played blitz, but with 3 cameras and screen sharing.
He does not come near rapid or classical.
Engine use is much easier to do and much much more difficult to detect in correspondence.
None of the ICCF players follows all engine suggestions: they would not win one single game.
Correspondence is about what lies beyond the engine horizon.
With correspondence tournaments it is many cheaters and it is hard to detect so cheaters can win and the tournament
Correspondence League organizes their own tournaments. What if we do that tournament but it's an official thing which is on the tournaments page and the pairings are shown on the tournament page after you click on the join button. challonge.com should not be needed. There can be some sort of a program where every game is auto- analyzed and the scores automatically refresh on the tournament. It can be 2 months for each round and if all the rounds end before that, the game auto starts in say 24 hours. If a game takes longer then 2 months, there could be a rapid/ blitz game from the final position.
i played more correspodance game than any other variant

The ICCF standard is 3 day/move.

A correspondence tournament is normally simultaneous: alll games against all players start at the same time. For a 10 player tournament you have to play 9 games starting at the same time.
Normal time for a correspondence game is over a year.
Finish a correspondence game as a blitz game from the final position sounds contradictory to say the least.
In ICCF one can claim a win or a draw based on 7-men table bases.
