Yes, and there are many, many more like him...
1000 ELO in Bullet, 1100 in Blitz, 2000 in Long games???
You should report suspected cheating directly to Chess.com.
As for the stopping the clock.
You have vacation days that can be used to pause games during times you will not be able to play. Some people abuse these.
Totally ridiculous assumptions. Speedchess is not correspondence chess. I am very bad at speedchess but still have a 1900+ rating in correspondence. Does that make me a cheater ?
This time I hope the admins will warn YOU not to abuse this forum for false accusations based on ..... on what ? You went too far by naming your perpretrator.
You are a member for some years and yet you don't know how to report a cheater ?? Who are you fooling ? You created at least two threads before about the SAME subject. Didn't you learn anything from that ?
It seems to me that you're only goal is to vent frustration and name and NAIL somebody to satisfy your needs.
How can I report it directly to chess.com?

I agree with pelly13. It is probably best not to post someones name like that.
And it is quite possible for such a variation like this. Some people just do much better at long games.
I am one myself. If I played blitz, I'm certain I would not break 1000 any time soon.
These numbers can look strange sometimes. Especially when you are still new to Chess.com.
Good luck.
My online rating is 1790, but in blitz and bullet, I'm more like 1200. but I'm not a cheater I promise.
Many people are like that.
You know he must have lost on time because he spent too many months on vacation.
It is not ridiculous at all. It is common sense. You can be pretty bad at Blitz and pretty good at correspondance, and still, you will not have a 1000 point difference between them.
Someone that is a legit 2000 in long games, will never be a 1000 in bullet or blitz, even if they are not very fast.
How about the second thing I mentioned? He has been abusing the vacation option and because of him, many of us have been stuck in tournaments for many months. What excuse you will find to defend him?
If admins analyze his games and abuse of the vacation option and come to the conclussion that he is a fair player, then I will accept a warning.
And once again, If I used the forum for making the accusation it is simply because I do not know who are the administrators here, so I do not know who should I send a PM.
And no, I did not went too far by naming my perpetrator. People must know who is a cheater and who is abusign the vacation options.
If you think that my accusation is based on nothing and that there can legitly be a difference of 1000 points between Bullet and Correspondance chess, then you are simply delusional.
A 500 point difference is absolutely possible, even a 600 or 700 it is acceptable. But 1000 points is just way too much.
If someone achieves 2000 points in correspondance chess it means that he is actually a very good player. He obviously is a good tactician and knows his stuff at openings and endgames.
With that knowledge it is impossible that you play so extremely badly that you lose almost all your games. If you are a legit 2000 in long games, you will absolutely crush guys that are 1100 or 1200 in Blitz games.
Anyway, I will report this person to chess.com and we will see what they say.
I was born and raised in a free country where people are used to make their own decisions. One of them is when to take a day off , a holiday or whatever. It is not up to YOU or CC to decide on that.
Maybe in your country things are different and people are sentenced on assumptions. Here , in the civilized world we need PROOF and not ASSUMPTIONS.
Are you sure about his name?
I searched it and the only results on Chess.com were your comments here.
Maybe if you took a look at his stats, you might find a perfectly logical reason there.
It IS possible to have such a legetimate variance.
I don't understand what are you talking about.
Who is saying that it should not be permitted to take one day off or go for holiday?
To refresh your memory , this is what you said in post #8 :
" ... How about the second thing I mentioned? He has been abusing the vacation option and because of him, many of us have been stuck in tournaments for many months. What excuse you will find to defend him?

Whether you ACCEPT or REFUSE a warning by CC is of no importance. It is GIVEN to you.
Yes I am sure about his name.
Currently he is at 1880 ELO at correspondance chess (And that is because he went out of time in some games in the last few hours. Yesterday he was beyond 2000)
At Blitz he is 1135, with much more defeats than wins and he has played over 1500 games.
At bullet he is 1035, however he has played only 20 games.
Tactics trainer he is at 1469. And that is actually a very low rating for somebody that is legitely a 2000 player in correspondance chess. Even I have a higher rating at tactics and I am just 1600 at correspondance chess.
this can be very easily explained if someone has trouble with cpu pieces (2d board) and plays bad blitz and bullet chess. I have the same problem. Judging someone based on that is not right. About the vacation problem. It is his right so what are you complaining about? If he's truly bad, he'slosing anyway, he's not gaining anythingby drgging it out. Stop the whining....
Tactics rating at Chess.com is actually 'Blitz tactics ratng'. I would fall in the same category. My on-line rating is 1700 (maybe I have only played 4 games and it might go down). My standard rating is 1450 and Blitz rating is 1147. The reason is very simple. I started playing chess at the age of 38 and now I am 40. I dont have memorised a lot of patterns, hence I have to solve them 'on board'. I have memorised opening theory ( a limited but extensive repertoire) but when I play Blitz the opponents take me out of book very early and I dont have enough time to punish them for minor inaccuracies.
of course it's fishy, so analyze a batch of his games and report. this thread smells like rotting fish and is as bad as cheating
It is not ridiculous at all. It is common sense. You can be pretty bad at Blitz and pretty good at correspondance, and still, you will not have a 1000 point difference between them.

Wrong bro, I don't like Bullet, I end up a bag of nerves, in Blitz, I play for da fun of it & experiment, I was not far away from 2100 a few years back, but belive me a good book & or DB & some serious study of ones pet openings can make a huge difference, yo!
How about the second thing I mentioned? He has been abusing the vacation option and because of him, many of us have been stuck in tournaments for many months. What excuse you will find to defend him?
If you're a paying member, then you get more vacation, some people need a break now & again, like real life!
Why to you think that Stuff made tournaments where vacation is not allowed!
If admins analyze his games and abuse of the vacation option and come to the conclussion that he is a fair player, then I will accept a warning.
Once a player goes above 2000, they are autmatically checked for engine use & Cc has probaly da best detecters than any other Chess site!
And once again, If I used the forum for making the accusation it is simply because I do not know who are the administrators here, so I do not know who should I send a PM.
Admins here on Cc have Staff in green after their name!
And no, I did not went too far by naming my perpetrator. People must know who is a cheater and who is abusign the vacation options.
Naming & shaming in public forums is not allowed, you could get a warning or simply get banned, depends on you bro!
If you think that my accusation is based on nothing and that there can legitly be a difference of 1000 points between Bullet and Correspondance chess, then you are simply delusional.
Wake up & come down to Planet Earth, I've seen higher equasions, I bid you a fine day bro, yo!
I am not really sure who are the administrators here, that is why I make this thread public.
There is one player that is 1000 in bullet games, 1100 in Blitz and yet somehow he is a 2000 in long games.
To me, that is very fishy. I know that obviously it is not the same thing to play a game knowing that you have just 1 minute and playing another one knowing that you have 5 days to think each move. But still, there can not be such a huge difference if the player is "clean".
The guy by the way somehow made possible that each time he had about 30 minutes left to make his move, the system automatically stopped his clock. (So basically, despite that it was a 3 days per move game, sometimes he was making one move every 5 or 6 days and it was all fine). It was only today that finally he lost on time.
Because of him, there are tournaments that last several months.
