I just played a game that had very good strategy wasn't too bad I didn't play that great and I lost the game after looking at the Players profile I noticed that he won 24 out of his last 27 games he has a 1,000 ELO is this normal ? 🤔does this make sense or are my suspicions out of the norm. I report a lot of games I mean a lot of games I know unfair play when I see it and I report it and I never get any feedback from chess.com ever maybe once every couple months a player was booted for cheating but that doesn't necessarily mean that it was my report now I know Grandmasters they can report a game and they get instant results if something's fishy I don't feel that game analysis by chess.com is very fair to lower ELO players like myself how do you deal with this on your own when you know you played somebody who was cheating against you and there's nothing you can do and you played hard and you got beat I know it's frustrating what do you do thank you

One question: How did he cheat?

Maybe he is just good?

Many bad moves by both you and opponent. Understandable for the rating in question in that time control.
You never know for sure, but it is unlikely there was something suspicious.

Let’s be honest this was just a bad game and nothing more. At no point did you have anything more than an easily stoppable one move threat, meanwhile white was just donating lots of material. Even at 1000 level Black would have been hard pressed to find moves that didn’t win.

Granted your opponent didn’t do quite as much wrong blunder-wise (although still did his fair share) but he wasn’t really given chance to, he just had to gobble up the material and win.

The reason GMs can report a game and get instant results (as you describe) is they have a very keen sense of when something is obviously not what it should be, (certain former world champs are the exception) whereas a low rated player can easily think “my very unsound attack didn’t work, something has to be wrong”

This is probably a new account for a seasoned player coming back from a break. There isn't a rule for creating a new account if the old one is deleted prior to creation of new account. Winning 24 of 27 is definitely abnormal and shows the player isn't new imo.

First of all, there's nothing in the game that warrants suspicion, not at all.

For a 1000 rated player it's perfectly normal to play with an 78% accuracy. It's really a normal score. Scoring 10% higher accuracy would still be completely common (occurring daily). According to Game Review your opponent played 4 inaccuracies and 1 blunder. That means that 1 in 6 moves was inaccurate or worse. That's entirely expected.

Secondly, the picture you present of your opponent's winning streak is a misrepresentation of the situation. Or a misunderstanding of variance. That player played 700 games since September 1st, winning around 350 and losing around 350. If you select an arbitrary range of games that look like an anomaly is not giving you reliable information.

To answer the question of what you should: Step one is to check to see if cheating is really likely. Then, if you have proof of cheating, just report them. But don't stress too much about. If a player is consistently cheating the algorithm will detect them. You'll receive a message from chess.com when you get rating points refunded.

thank you all for your comments and explanations of not only that particular game but the general understanding of how to expect and what not to expect at a certain ELO level I'm generally a good player especially over the board I'm very good player and I stopped recently paying for my account and I just have terrible quality games have a lot of time problems and my play has really gone down significantly in the last 4 months because I am only playing non-paying players and I am just not focused I get frustrated and I get very suspicious because I'm losing games that I know I should not lose at all and I can't really review what the chess.com analysis is though I can go back and look at what moves I should have made through the analysis and sometimes I do when I'm not frustrated I'm just going through it tilted cycle again thank you all for your comments and explanations you really help me out a lot and I learned something valuable have a great chest Journey thank you
