Since there does seem to be cheating on Chess.com ... I more often just play bots to get better so when I go to local chess club, I be a bit better.

Smart. I have been cheated on. When people do that, generally you are awarded points. Chess.com usually figures it out. There are other times I have lost games when I unintentionally took my finger off. My Queen or important piece is taken. I try and play despite that, but usually lose. Gotten to the point where it doesn’t bother me much anymore.

We did have a good game. But you outplayed me. But it was fun to trap you queen for a bit.
