One of the best players of the site has been accused of cheating and his account has been closed. I don't understand this, because he's not a regular 2600-guy, he was the tigerpetrosian, the former #1 of chess.com before he closed his account on his own. Then he decided to join again with different nickname. As far as i recall, his previous account had hell of stats, 1 loss, 150+ wins, 20 something draws. He gained the #1 spot of the chess.com and i'm pretty sure he had been check of cheating that time. Nothing went wrong until he decided to close his account.
Later he reopened his account with TeimourRadjabov, he got the pretty much same results, very good stats; 40 something wins, 20 some draws. It wasn't suprising because we all know what he's capable of. Despite all these, yet he's been accused of cheating and closed.
I think it's just unfair. Someone who is beaten by him accused him and they closed the account. I have one question:
If he had been cheating all the time, why wouldn't you guys have closed his accounts while he was Tigerpetrosian, #1 of the chess.com
If he hadn't been cheating then, he is not now.

I agree with you

his account was closed for computer engine cheating. it wasn't closed before because we weren't 100% sure. now we are. please see -> Chess.com Policy on Cheating for more info on the topic.
when you got in his account, there is saying that he has been cheating and closed for that.
not that the similarity of the nick name
Interesting game. Please help.
