chess com is using bot accounts to sabotage players.

I got suspicious about them tracking my ip to force me to play ai accounts. The games are always the same. Against no name accounts. No photos. Brand new accounts made this year. You can tell real players by making random moves. My last game. Per usual. To sabotage my rating. Their timer magically goes up. Spending .01 seconds a move. Which is inhumanly possible when you make a random move. I have 10 seconds on my clock and they have less than a second. And my moves all of a sudden start taking 3-4 seconds a piece. These games start happening when i start making check mates against clearly real players.

Then the games will always be the same openings. Over and over in a cycle. Since chess com bans these posts. They are supporting this and hiding it from players.

My expectation is this is a software to test for cheating. However, they are also sabotaging my games by doing this and ratings shouldnt be allowed to change. They set you up with a series of winnable games after to reciprocate the points. But i have to report hundreds of bot accounts a week.

Ive been on here for over 10 years. Its ridiculous. Lost alot of respect for chess com and can barely enjoy the game anymore.

To make a .01 second move against a random sacrifice is inhumanly possible. At rating 300. No one has the reflexes of a formula 1 driver.

To couple this. They wont let you select a piece while the move is being made. So you cant pre move and they can to cheat.

They’re pre moving. It’s not unusual to make 10 moves in a second (so 0.1 secs per move) at the end of the game when you can stack premoves and the opponent doesn’t have moves to interrupt it.

as for your moves, even if you were playing chess.com bots (which you aren’t) they still wouldn’t be able to slow you down. That sounds more like an issue on your side whether that be internet or whatever else.

Deep breath. Hot bath. Margarita on the rocks (with Patron, of course). Maybe a nap afterward. You'll be wiping the floor with your opponents again in no time.

These are insufficient. The guy should be treated in a mental institution.

OP's recent forum posts seem a little monothematic:

Has anybody else been having issues with movement of certain pieces, ive been experiencing my rooks moving to the square in front of the square I want to move to, and sometimes i click on a piece but it doesn’t work, i sometimes have to click on the piece 3 or 4 times before it will move?????

On a smaller screen it's easier to mis-touch/drag or be off by a little and if the screen isn't touch calibrated it may be move obvious. The site has to use the data the device gives it on where the touches are

Using bots on a suspicious player comes at the end of the investigation. Usually they have a pretty good idea about the person by then.

Nope. It's a combination of naivete, frustration, and mental illness.
