Chess.com does not block players simply for strong or improving play. Actions are taken when gameplay patterns strongly suggest fair-play violations, primarily engine assistance.
Key factors Chess.com analyzes include:
Move accuracy and consistency far above your established rating level
Engine correlation (moves matching top engine choices repeatedly)
Critical position behavior (sudden perfect play only in complex positions)
Time usage patterns inconsistent with human decision-making
Account history (new account performing at elite levels immediately)
What Will Not Get You Blocked
Natural improvement through study or practice
Playing well in a few games or tournaments
Upsets against higher-rated opponents
Using opening preparation or known theory
Having a “hot streak
