I am a fairly new player and am not very good. (just to get that out of the way so maybe I just don't know enough)
I was thinking of entering one of the tournaments that pop up all the time for fun and since I'm not very good, the under 1200 tournaments looked interested.
Anyway, I decided to watch a couple games in a tournament and kind of play along to see how good I would do and saw this guy rated ~1100 seem to make all the right moves. Now, I'm only about 1100 (or maybe lower) so I'm definitely not the best judge so I ran the chess analysis here and it says he made no mistakes for the whole game.
Now when I play, I like to analyze the games afterwards and every single game I make not just one, but several mistakes and I'm about his level. Is this at all possible for a player at this level to play this perfectly on this type of game?
I think it would be interesting to play in these tournaments to give a little more incentive and fun to playing but I was worried about just playing a computer and not a person. It seems really easy to cheat. Is this what happened here? If so, is it fairly common on the lower level tournaments? Is there some analysis I'm missing?
Here is the game:
