Indeed. How?
|

|
I heard something about method which uses differences in evaluation between best engine's move and move played, but I am not sure how to disclose a cheater with it.

It's not easy (if not impossible), sometimes the moves will match because they're "obvious", while sometimes a player may intentionally play the second best move (if there's not much difference) and so on. Plus there are different engines, which might give different moves.

There are too many variables to ever be 100% sure: which engine was used, how long was it allowed to think and as pointed out there are often positions which from the human perspective have several moves equally good and you could pick any of them even an engine’s 3rd choice. I think any strong player will know when they are playing an engine though. Usually a GM’s move makes some sense to me but I find engine moves often leave me totally baffled.
Personally I wouldn’t worry about it too much unless you’re up around the master class and of course all CC grandmasters use them. Not to select their moves but to check their analysis. I’ve heard it referred to as “ethical cheating.”

Really , how ? Could you explain more or are you being less than 100% serious ?

Computer assistance is allowed in high-level correspondence chess because there's no effective way to stop it. The players don't use the computer to select the move but they do use it to make sure their chosen move doesn't drop material and so on.
