Something's going on

Recently a member found a member named Sunil-P-S. He had multiple games with zero mistakes, blunders, etc. He claimed to be an intermediate player with not much time to play chess, but his rating was rapidly climbing and he seemed to know all these tricks. He *cough cough his engine* analyzed these games and sent them to players. He claims he only won by not making as many mistakes as his opponents, but I still thought that was kind of fishy. So I reported him. Now I haven't even gotten a reply back yet, but his account is closed and the original blog were gone. So I looked him up. What I found is interesting.

So what is going on here? He obviously seems pretty talented and all, but I am not sure. What do you guys think?

 

P.S. spread the word before this is taken down!

 

P.P.S. See how I snuck in a "PS?" :D

UPDATE - I was looking at his scientific profile thingy, and he isn't just any scientist researcher guy. He's gone to the Artic and Antartic, won multiple awards, and had many publications.

Maybe he wasnn't using an engine and this is just pure skill. I mean this is pretty crazy!

wow

ThePEPSIChallenge

don't sound anything like a cheater, no

So you post some guy's real name and photo and call him a cheater without showing us the games or even giving us the name of his closed chess.com account?

By leaving out the most important information you just make yourself look like an asshole.

At least half the time cheating accusations are made over games that are 100% obviously not cheating, and the person making the claim is just a huge moron, so it's kinda important to show the actual games.
