unbelievable!!!this guy said i was cheating because i took my time to find the flaw in the position.he said that a player of my rating,could not make a move like that!i replied that if i was cheating,my rating would have been much higher than my current,but he still insisted that i was cheating!

SNAP! I like it! Very nice, I dont think I would have seen that....
SensFan33
I can certainly see why he would be suspicious, to be honest.

mates like this can be found in a book like "how to beat your dad at chess" which is aimed at learners and kids- an 800 rated player can easily learn it and execute it who happens to have this book! your opponent was a VERY poor sport to say what he said. dont play him any more.

Very good playing, I wouldn't consider it cheating at all, I've been players of semi-equal status in twelve moves or less and I know I don't cheat... epiphanies are a great thing in chess!

Cool trap.
muskie
Easy tactic to find. Nicely played. You should be proud.
eminnix
that was a good move i didnt see that coming
LG187
I wouldn't have seen that at all.... maybe.. but I doubt it... Good game though

Don't post accusations of cheating on the forums!
Although I like the trap.
weej267
haha i dont understand y did his knight move or moved his king to f1, but either way, well played! I would never think that u were cheating, especially because theres tons of people I know, especially bughouse players, who'd think of such a move. he's a terrible sport
Beelzebub666
A guy who did cheat probably wouldn't post a public thread on it inviting everyone to look... unless it's a cunning double bluff... Hang on! There's no way a non-cheat could have come up with a cunning double bluff like this! J'accuse!
QED.

That was awesome!!

Bishop sacs are a common motif humans are good at spotting. Ironically, your ninth move wasn't one of the top choices for either Fritz or Rybka*.
Fritz's analysis (depth=12/12):
1. -/+ (-0.88): 9...Re8 10.0-0 Be6 11.Bxe6 Rxe6 12.Nh4 Nxe4 13.dxe4 Qxh4 14.Qd3 2. =/+ (-0.66): 9...Bd4 10.Bd2 Re8 11.Qe2 Ng4 12.Qf3 Bxf2+ 13.Kf1 Be6 14.Bxe6 3. = (0.00): 9...Ng4
Rybka's analysis (depth=13):
1. -/+ (-1.04): 9...Re8 10.0-0 Bg4 11.Qd2 Be6 12.Bxe6 2. -/+ (-0.96): 9...Bd4 10.Bd2 Re8 11.0-0 Be6 3. -/+ (-0.71): 9...Ng4 10.Nxf8 Bxf2+
* The reason it wasn't a top choice is, there was a better defense.

That was hot. Nice tactics. He's probably just mad at himself for being a co-conspirator in his own demise. If he keeps on calling you a cheater just tell him you won that game fair and square, and thank him for the assistance.
11.Kf1?? (should just lose the knight)
12.Ke1???? (his present to you)

A computer wouldn't have played it, seeing as it's easily refutable:
11... Qf6+ 12. Nf4 exf4, or 11... Qf6+ Qf3 both stop the mate.

Cheating? Give me a break. Whoever you played against is a sore loser. Good job and exploiting your opponents mistakes.
crhnine
it was a telegraphed trap, its his own fault for not defending properly, i mean dont get me wrong that was nicely played but there were two options total that you could have used ( either the rook or queen), and why he moved the knight there is beyond what i can understand. Too he could have blocked the checkmate by moving his queen to f3, but even then you had a lot of followups that could have resulted in him losing the knight and well the game too. Dont worry about it, Ive been claimed a cheater before by GoAdelaideUnited just because he is some kind of bigtime tournament player. This guy lost because of his poor play and thats that.
