How do you report a cheater. Not sure how he did it but U could not make certain moves.

Did you come across castling? Or en passant?

He moved my piece, not sure how he did it.

MSC157

I'm pretty sure he didn't, at least not intentionally. Must be a bug or something. Can you explain how did it look like? Which game?

*sigh* Here is an example of what I think happened: He played 37 Rc7 and you responded with 37...Rh7 but when you look at the game now, your rook is back on h1. This is because you actually lost the game on time before you completed the move 37...Rh7.

If not, then plaese give more details.

well that's bs. Everyone can cheat for a game and nobody will ever know. But that's isgusting. However, the point was not in the quality of play, but something else.

 isn't cheating! One, his rating is a measly 1100, and two, his win percentage is DEFINATELY not 100%. Don't accuse random people of cheating. I can usually determine if someone is cheating.

Win percentage doesn't actually tell you anything about cheating, just about your rating relative to the ratings of your opponents. A cheating 2000 and a legit 2000 will both win a very high percentage if they always play 1500s.

Yeah, but OP does not talk about engine cheating, but something else.

The site should put a warning up when people join:

"If you lose a game, please don't run to the Help & Support forum to complain that your opponent cheated."

or something to that effect.

Don't assume someone is a cheater because they make movies you believe they couldn't make.

I think the only way to figure out whether someone is cheating or not is when the site developers who have access to each players games enter it into some kind of cheater detector software which will easily use an algorithm and show whether a player is likely or unlikely to have won a certain number of games against stronger players and compare it with how many he actually won against stringer players.

The recommendation always has been that you report to the site a suspected cheater and they will run the program (details of which they do not reveal) to see how like a computer they are playing.
