 yes, very likely.

The only point is playing on this website is improvement  and fun, if there is another rational reason enlighten me, and cheating goes against both. Thus I dare conclude that cheaters are: a) absurd beings b) irrational beings c) unintelligent beings, neither of the three one wants to be.

i so agree. fun and improvment.

Ain't it great when people say "Win or lose, I just love to play the game!" Uncanny how they usually have mediocre ratings. Mind you, win or lose, I just love to play the game.

eric I am with you on that, I would be annoyed if my opponent did that, unless they blundered

Its freaky if you all of a sudden relize that you have been doing the exact same thing. then you can't play people from around the globe.

I just banned 3 members for cheating. If you are playing fake games, or making fake accounts and resigning games after just a few moves, you will be caught, and you will be banned. There are enough people on this site looking at the top players that if you try it, you will be found, reported, and banned. Simple enough :)


 im new to chess.com and some1 did that to me already but didnt know it was cheating and they logged off

Caught or not, it's highly immoral. It's stealing what another rightfully deserved and also hurts the game as a whole. I'm glad that Chess.com is vigilant in fighting cheaters.

Everybody has moments of brilliancy once in a while, so I don't think they should be unfairly penalized for that. I know personally, my rating on the chess sites I am a member of tends to float between 1400 and 1800 depending on how enthusiastic I am at the time. Most of the people who taught me how to play chess were rated USCF 1800-2100 and I did manage to eke out an occasional win or draw even in my earlier days when I was a lot weaker. I still remember the first time I had a 2000+ rated player drop a queen to me, I was so proud of myself that I promptly gave it back 5 or 6 moves later and lost. Doh!

umm! amazing...never thought of that. wonder what drives people to do that.

Wow, and to think I'd just suggested to a friend to do that as a joke... I'd better tell him not to! :D

I have lost lots of games recently and I think all of my opponents have been conspiring against me to give me a bongcloudeque rating. Either that, or I'm just crap.

I am very happt to read, that a most of the players here are fair. Cheater´s aren´t for a community like this one. I just started playing here, because there is no mac support for chessbase. I hope i will find a lot of friendly players. And i hope i can improve my skill here, too.

Thx to the community.

Eric, thanks for posting this. I'm a novice at the game, and I see no reason to do stunts like that. What would you achieve?

i think people who cheat are big fat losers who can't win any other way.
