Gentleman's deal, a question of honour, if you want. We cannot know. We trust.
However, your fear is justified. The server of Hamburg-based Chessbase, the global market leader for chess databases and chess-related software, is said to be notoriously infested with people cheating, like manipulating time control and using actiove engines to calculate mopves they claim their own moves then. That's why interest is constantly detoirating over there. But they have good live coverages of major tournaments, sometimes, and good training courses with professionals.
