Hi,

How does chess.com find the cheaters? They check for matchups or what exactly? Because recently I just found out one of my oponents whom I've played 2 games was banned for cheating. He/she was 2101 rating, I don't know if it was rising or it was in this range. But I still wonder how players who are above 2700 could be still here, or not thought of being cheating and they don't even got a title? I'm not talking about the legit GMs and other titled players who are here who have ratings lower than some non titled players playing here. Does this make any sense or it doesn't. Smile

Yeah this is really suposed to be limited to one thread.  Suffice it to say there are some incredibly strong non-titled (non pro) players here.... And there are probably just as many who aren't as legit :P.

Where is that thread? or erik's forum since I don't want to create a topic that has already been done before *My apologies*. But how can non titled players have higher ratings than the titled ones and could beat them as well occasionally (I think so since they got higher rates) and don't got a title themselves. This makes no sense at all. They should get titles themselves to be honest if that's the case.
