To me, the extraordinary thing about Hutch's post is not that people would cheat at bullet, but that people would play it, presumably for pleasure. :D

I just checked my messages - chesscom have adjusted my bullet rating for cheaters 11 times altogether. Quite how people cheat at bullet is beyond me - the appeal was always that it's so fast cheating seems impossible.

I'm not smart enough to notice cheaters; I can lose to people without their needing to cheat. Having said that, at least twice I've had messages from chess.com saying they've adjusted by grading because my opponent had been cheating. I've no idea which moves in which games were concerned. My grading doesn't bother me all that much, apart from when I fail to get anywhere near the placing in one of these tournaments that my grading says I ought.

Well I got a bit frustrated with suspected cheaters again. I need to stop doing this! I have this repeating pattern when I focus properly and increase my grade, then end up playing one or two or obvious cheaters, get frustrated, start playing stupidly and close my account. I will try to break this habit!

For online chess, I have just entered the 4NCL Spring Congress, fortnightly from Tuesday 17 January to 11 April. There used to be a U2000 section that suited me, but they had to merge this with the Open, in the Autumn, and I see that they've done that up front.My ambition, not yet achieved, is to score 50% or better. For some reason, my play in these tournaments is always worse than in the 4NCL League matches, or in half a dozen online weekend congresses I've entered.
