There are many positions where the best move is obvious. But in complex, non-forcing positions chess engines often find moves that humans overlook. Engines play certain endgames perfectly. If a human plays too many computer moves, cheating is highly likely. From guardian.com: "The most important authentication tool Karali uses is a screening program employed by Fide, the international chess governing body. Ken Regan, a chess master and computer scientist, said he started developing the model in 2006 after a high-profile cheating accusation by Bulgaria’s Veselin Topalov against Russia’s Vladimir Kramnik in their world championship game. Regan’s model analyzes the possible moves in a chess position and projects the probability that a player of a given skill level would make a move that agrees with top chess engines."

It is easy to compare the moves recommended by the top chess engines to the moves actually played in a match, If a player plays mostly computer moves, it is very likely that the player is cheating.
