Will I get banned?

I just played two really good games where I had 98.5% accuracy in one and 95.2% in the other one. I didn't cheat at all but I am worried that I will get reported for cheating then banned. Will this happen?

98.5 - 15 moves

95.2 - 38 moves

Probably not if it’s not repeated over and over again

no! Of course not! Do Gms get banned for getting 98 accuracy like every game? No! You have to be truly cheating with like a engine to get banned.

People that cheat get banned because they have an insane amount of games with that type of accuracy.

Besides, you can just check the engine to see if the moves made by the engine are the moves in the game

People and engines play very differently

so you don't have to worry about being banned

You'll get banned only if you used an engine. If you did not, you have nothing to fear. Cheat detection is much more complex than just looking at your accuracy score like that.

Often times if your opponent does not play very good moves and you select the correct response, this is one way to get an unusually high accuracy score for your rating level. It is normal and nothing to worry about.

If you check under the details tab of the analysis it will show you a best move %. This is the number of times you actually played the top engine move. In your 98.5% game, it was 66.7%, or 2/3 of the time in your 95.2% it was 57.9%. If your best move percentage starts to get very high then I would be worried but, with where it's at now I find it very unlikely that you get banned.

If you're playing fairly, you have nothing to worry about.

It depends on the types of moves you made. There are some moves that computers and higher rated people see, but lower rated are much less likely. If most of the moves were obvious, you should be fine.

First of all, 15 move games where you play normal developing moves while the opponent simply blunders two pieces and resigns will never get you into trouble.

The longer game follows a similar pattern where the opponent blunders early, but did not resign. It is generally easier to achieve high accuracy when you're up a free piece or two early in the game.

Banned for being accurate? Not unless the chess.com leadership is a band of religious right wing nuts.

Thanks for injecting your irrelevant, malicious, and misguided politics into a very non-political conversation. You bring disgrace to wokers everywhere. Let's play chess.

I got beat like no tomorrow yesterday. I could not win a game all day. I got an email from chess.com that a member violated policy of fair play and I was awarded 12 pts. I was very tired yesterday and that could of been part of the reason. I withdraw from the tournament before the last game. I am discouraged, I want my rating to grow as I progress in the leagues.

People I think also don't understand how the anti cheating work happens on here. Chess.com obviously would never confirm or deny the specifics but there are javascripts that run on the page that track your behavior with your cursor and whether you are spending time on the browser tab with the game in it. Any sort of algorithmic checking of the quality of the moves is drastically less successful except to score your behavior, for example if you tab away for a minute and then tab back and play an "only winning move" type of move, that is how they would nab you.

If you haven't cheated then you won't need to worry about it. I frequently have games that come back in the mid to high 90's for accuracy. I also have games that come back in the 60-80% range pretty frequently. As a rule, I tend to be more accurate against weaker competition, because their mistakes are easier to see. Finding the right moves when your opponent is hanging pieces or leaving their King exposed is much easier. Just keep playing, learning and (most importantly) enjoying and don't get hung up on the cheating drama.
