Lost to a cheater

My last 5min game was with a cheater (using an engine). There are too many red flags, or I cannot understand why a genius like that has 1500 rating. It is very sad. I would like to say many other things but my english is not good. I don't like the lack ef chevalery of many users who use swingling. They can do this because it's an online game.

You just played horribly. I wouldn't call 52 accuracy genius and above 1500….

Join the cheating forum to learn what it really looks like. False reports from people who don't really understand makes it way harder for Chess.com to investigate and action valid reports.

Also, posting about it in the public forums (a) does nothing and (b) is against the forum rules, so a moderator will lock this as soon as they see it.

Lmao you did 2 blunders including one where you gave your bishop for free. The other one where the opponent could have gained your rook with a 2 moves tactic, and he didn't even see it. Plenty of mistakes and inaccuracies on his part too. No blunders though and he still managed to get only 52% accuracy...

On the top of that you let your time run out with 50seconds on the clock when he had mate in one, terrible sportsmanship.

Btw your account is arguably much more sus than his, with 9wins, 0 loss and 2000+ rating in rapid.

Bad losers are so annoying. Learn to take a loss somehow.

If you think another member is using disallowed resource you should report them.

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
