I am sure you aren't a cheater, but I don't know how to tell if someone is a cheater or not...
Does seanysean2 cheat?
Sort:
I wouldn't worry about the accusation sean. it happens to LOTS of people. Chess.com would have few people on here if they banned everyone someone said cheats. some guys routinely blame all their loses on cheats.
as for "how to catch cheaters"... thats a forbidden discussion. chess.com Doesn't want that talked about on the open forum.
I'm sure if someone went to post some 'proof', chess.com would erase the post and lock the thread. there's no point to that. I know there's alot of anxiety about the subject but I have faith in cc's methods.
Nope. Cheating accusations come from sore losers. That's part of online chess, unfortunately. By the way, perfect games aren't always the best way to determine who cheats and who doesn't. I myself never liked online chess since I always got distracted while playing. I made (and I STILL MAKE) too many mistakes compared to my OTB games. However, even I managed to pull of more than several "perfect" games online (on other sites). According to your previous games, I can tell that your wins are legitmate.

If 2 people say it, it must be true.
Wake up, world.
More seriously, unfounded cheating accusations are annoying, but I don't see what you are trying to gain from posting this. If everyone accused of cheating multiple times posted on the fora, this board would go downhill pretty quickly.
Just wondering... Thanks all!
Methinks I should.

The option of using an engine is open to both players, so it's hardly cheating. That's like saying athletes that dope are cheating.
Well, I don't know how to use them.

Engine use is against the site rules, so, it isn't open to both players.
That said duscussions of cheating are allowed in the Cheating Forum group, not the general forums.

I think most of us know who seanysean2 is, right? Either way, I have gotten two notes "claiming" that I cheat. Feel free to share your opinion.
(Btw, I don't cheat, see if you can find at least one perfect game of mine over 30 moves).
I know how to catch cheaters (I've caught a few in my day!) , but i'd like to know your opinion. Challenge me, because I'm undaunted.
Let's see what proof that seanysean2 cheated is.
"uses chess engine to cheat" (You can see who wrote this on my profile)
"poor idiot with engine" (Really?)
Thankfully, that's the only times people have lied about me cheating.
