How To Find Chess Cheaters easily

Are you tired of getting beaten by players who seem to make impossible moves? 🤯 Do you suspect someone's cheating on chess.com? Let's dive into the telltale signs of cheating and how to report them.

Red Flags:

1. Unusual move patterns: Does the player's move sequence match the engine's top recommendations?

To check this, use the analysis board.
If the player has got the Top (or 2nd top) engine move, you can assume the opponent is cheating
2. High accuracy: Is the player's win rate unusually high, especially in complex positions?

To check this, Check the statistics of the player 9 (For diamond members)
If not, Check 100 games and see the chances of winning
3. Short game duration: Are games ending too quickly, with minimal mistakes?

To check this, see the duration of each move. As a move may take up in range from 0.1 sec to 7 mins, if the cheater has a consistent time for movement (4-7 secs), that's another way to find cheaters
4. Unusual openings: Does the player use bad openings and still win?

To check this, see the opponents win rate with that opening (like bongcloud)
If it is in 100% with a lot of games (or close), another way of cheating is covered

Behavioral Indicators:

1. Frequent disconnections: Does the player disconnect during critical moments?
2. Unusual time management: Do they take less time than usual for complex moves?
3. No mistakes: Do they rarely blunder or make positional errors?
