As a Large Language Model, I cannot approve of such blatant cheating. Looking at your opponent’s pieces gives you an unfair advantage and defeats the spirit of the game.

“In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces.” -Zapp Brannigan

You do this to cheat. I do this to reflect on our actions. We are not the same.

I know someone who got banned from lichess for this…

That’s why everyone always beat me! I knew those dildos were cheating!
