Accused of using engine

I passed the last two months studying and practicing every day, and I’m finally starting to see the results. Yesterday I played a nearly perfect game, and my opponent accused me of cheating with engine. Would that create problems if they report me? I really never used it, but I don’t know how to prove it.

You will only have a problem if you were actually using an engine in your game: otherwise you have nothing to worry about. Chess.com only bans people when they certain enough to defend it in a court of law, not just because someone who doesn't understand what cheating really looks like reports someone because they're butt hurt about their loss.

Thank you, David. It makes sense.

Chess.com wont just check the accuracy but also check the time in between your moves and detect suspicious things like taking a long time before reccapturing

Accusing the opponent of using an engine is a popular local sport

This web-site seems to be full of players who would probably be world champion contenders if their opponents weren't engine monkeys.
