I have a suggestion for the staff at chess.com. Why they don't develop a feature such that one could plug in the software directly when playing live chess? It is quite painful to open a software program perhaps on another computer to make the moves for you ...

After playing several live games here, I began to analize, not only them, but also other games played by top-rated players. What I found striking is the high level of chess I encountered. These guys play almost perfectly (unlike many IM's or GM's rated below 2600, who make a lot of mistakes).
I also played on ICC some times ago, there the players are much much weaker than here. Silly mistakes are made by players ranked >2100 there. My rating here is 1400-1500 (but I lost many games due to the problems I have with a wireless router), while at ICC I was rated around 2000.

Well, what can I say? Congratulations for Erik and the rest of the staff for managing to gather here such excellent players!

Post links to the games.  No links, no discussion.

He's talking about live chess, not turn based.

For instance in this game it appears to me that Black used a computer.

Or take other games of the same player.

I reported this to chess.com several days ago and it seems that I am wrong, this player does not cheat. I am glad to see that we have such a good player here, but I will no longer play here anything. I am way to weak for such players.

I think he makes a valid point here chess.com staff, pay attention.

By the way, if testing with a computer program the game played by somebody, a matching of 60% should be taken as a possible indication of cheating (that's the average of matching achieved by super-GM's in standard time control games). One also has to take into account the forced moves, which ussually should not be counted as "matches". You can find more details here:
