When you are using an engine, it's probably a bad idea to call attention to your games

A member who uses the screen name "neeraj_88" posted this a few days ago:

"Neeraj_8" account is closed. Staff member please can you tell me the reason. When i send a support ticket, it says that I will get respose in 24 hours but I never get response of any of the support tickets before 4 to 5 days.

Upon inspection, the neeraj_8 account was closed with a cheater badge: http://www.chess.com/home/game_archive?member=neeraj_8

I spot checked a few of neeraj_8's games over 20 moves - and guess what?   Not a single inaccuracy, mistake, or blunder!  And ridiculously low average centipawn losses.

You know, that sort of thing piques my interest.  So I checked neeraj_88's games.  I'll let the readers come to their own decision.

Now, this was not a random sample of neeraj_88's completed games.  This was every (non-960) game he has finished since his neeraj_8 cheater account was closed.

It would be wrong of me to accuse him of continued engine use, in public.  No naming and shaming, you know.  I am just highlighting some astoundingly perfect play by a returned engine cheater.

What do you think?

UPDATE 1.0  The neeraj_88 account is closed and the new (11 August) neeraj_25 account has opened. http://www.chess.com/members/view/neeraj_25
