Never seen that in 5 years here...

As most of us know, prearranged teams DO exist (and are contrary to the rules of course). But it's mainly the case in the 1500-2000 area. I've NEVER seen that in 2200+ games.

Look at: [link removed - LR]

The SIDES (!!!) cooperate, which NEVER happens in normal FFA games above let's say 2000. Here the cheaters (or A cheater?) are 2300 and 2600, and let unprotected queens, make assisted mates, etc. Incredible!!!

Of course I reported both, I hope the admins will act ASAP.

Just wanted to share what is the very first occurrence I see in MORE THAN 24000 GAMES HERE!!! Crazy.

if you have reported , no need to accuse names ,, until they are proved guilty

I quoted nobody.

And a feedback from experienced players is welcome, I'm curious if somebody else has been their/his victim and if somebody has seen such a thing before. Me, never.

It depends more if it’s was just in the 4 player stage, cooperation between opposites is normal. I’m on mobile right now so I can’t view the game but if the teaming continued after this until the end of the game then it’s suspicious. Otherwise it’s normal for higher rated lobbies to feature teaming in between opposites simply because it’s the best strategy

Ok yeah I looked over the game, if you can find other examples of this happening a report will definitely get some action. Otherwise it’s maybe because you and blue played really passive openings? I’ll always try to attack passive players myself and maybe red just capitalized on blues willingness to attack. The fact that they attacked green too was strange though.

Lol, Puzzles, everybody above 2200 know that "cooperation between opposites is normal". My post was NOT about that of course.

Thank you for reporting, this has been dealt with.

Not totally TBH as the 2 victims of this scandalous scheme both lost rating.

(But it's not a big deal, to see them both closed is satisfying enough. This space has to remain clean of cheaters).

no ways he got banned after coming after so many years

...because you find correct and acceptable what he or she did, Prathu? Rules are rules. And precisely for someone who's not new here and who is 2600+, it's even MUCH MORE scandalous.

yea i saw the games
