I don't want to get falsely banned for cheating. I don't even consider myself a good chess player.

If you're playing fairly you have nothing to worry about.

Any jerk can scream “cheater!” He can report you all he wants, but if you’re not cheating, don’t sweat it

So you’ve changed your username since playing that game?

It appears you have 2 accounts so that's against the chess.com terms unless you have their approval so you should probably be more worried about getting sanctioned for that rather than random cheating accusations.

If you really want, you can contact support saying you didn't cheat. You can also do that if you were banned unfairly.

They reported me for cheating, but I didn't cheat! Am I in trouble?
Updated over a week ago

Do I Need to Worry if I am Reported for Cheating?

No! If you didn't cheat, you have nothing to worry about! Chess.com will never close an account for cheating based on reports alone. This means even if a super popular streamer gets all his followers to report you, if you didn't cheat, nothing will come of it.

 

So What is the Reporting System For?

The reporting system is designed to send a heads up to the Fair Play team that they may need to investigate the account. The reports themselves do not trigger a closure. If the Fair Play team sees a large number of reports, they will want to investigate the account right away. But if you didn't cheat, the Fair Play team will find nothing, and all the reports will be cleared!

If your not cheating why even bother posting? Seems a odd question to ask at all if your not cheating. The cheat detection is good if the person isn't masking it through making one or two mistakes after a stock fish level performance of best moves through a entire game...

if you didn't cheat, you don't need to worry.

Chess.com is focused heavily on lowering the number of false positives.

Here is the game: https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/106709394327?tab=review

Just by looking at the accuracies and moves, it is obvious that you were not cheating. Chess.com would not ban you because of a stupid false accusation from an opponent. Your opponent was just delusional and mad bc of his loss.

Answer: No, you will not be banned.
