A classic and famous example.
However Korchnoi went and asked the contoller.
The controller did not tap Korchnoi on the shoulder and said.
"By the way you can castle here."
That is what the this thread was about - I think.

Its a rule, not a state secret.

Yes, this should be considered cheating. Pointing out a specific portion of the rules can be used as a means of giving a hint to move a certain piece, or make a certain type of move [like castling or promotion].
The correct admin response is, "No, that is not a glitch."
You really think that directing a player asking a question regarding the rules of the game to a portion of the site created with the intention of answering players' questions regarding the rules of the game is cheating?
That's 🙄
