I received this notice from chess.com about a cheater.

"We have detected that ONE or more of your recent opponents has violated our Fair Play Policy. As compensation for potentially unfair rating LOSSES, we adjusted your following ratings: "

Daily: 1414 + 7 = 1421 . . .

I found the two games in the Geezer matches. . . They corrected the giving me a higher rating and two wins in the match . . . The games are marked with a red circle with a slash thru it . . . The match is on going still . . . the Geezers 10 the Opponents 11 . . ."

Might result in Geezers winning the match! Cheaters should never prosper!

I looked at both games and they looked okay nothing spectacular . . .

I think both games were fair . . . The reason to be given the win was like a punishment for cheating in other games . . . On other note . . .

Monday November 1, 2021 . . .

I resigned a game because It's taking too long. 

So i lost 7 rating points in the Geezer 2021 tournament . . .

I only have one game left in the bracket . . .

Now at 1414 again . . .

1414 is nothing, my highest was 1875. 

Don't be so critical . . . 1875 was back in 2010 . . .

Your current daily rating is only 1458 . . . That's the one that counts . . .

I'm happy I have a current rating that means I'm still alive @ 83 . . .

Come to my bowling party in December I'll be 84 . . .

Bye for now . . .

Won a game because my opponent closed his account before he made his first  move so my ratings didn't change . . .

It wasn't my move . . .

Won a game to my surprise. Raised rating to 1454 . . .

 I had a mate in one but his knight checked me. I still had a move in one. . .

He checked me with a bishop. I moved the king i still had a mate in one . . .

His bishop could take my mating rook on G1 . . .

He moved his H rook, placed it on G 8 to save it . . .

I moved my G rook to G5 ++ Check mate . . .

I recommend "1001 chess exercises for beginners" to improve ones game. Authors are Masetti and Messa. Book from New In Chess. Very instructive.
