I've just played 2 games against 2random http://www.chess.com/members/view/2random#games

 

I got mated before I had the chance to move. after looking at their games list I noticed he/she has done it before. what a cock. 

 

Is there any way to get this person blocked?

They probably premoved. You can premove moves

BTW, why did you move 1.f3 and 2.g4?

well, I didnt, but for some reason it says I did.

That is hilarious!

My guess is the guy "2random" set that start position up as the start of the game in his challenge, and the OP unwittingly (well, I might well have done the same!) accepted his challenges without checking if there was a modified start position.

cbrianmatthews

that is quite clever. Also really shitty.

You are right Waller. The record of the games starts at move 2 in exactly the way it does when there is a modified start.

Haha, brilliant!

Yep, nailed it.

In this case, I think naming and shaming is okay. I mean hacking is something that needs to be hanlded ASAP.

Look at how many, http://www.chess.com/home/game_archive?member=2random. Wow.

So he's been able to modify the thematic starting positions?

To my knowledge, premium members can invent their own.
