Some players probably cheat in blitz. But how do you know that particular player wasn't just lucky with that move? Maybe he made it on a hunch?
Computer assisted or what!

That move looks very suspect and to find that in a blitz game is ridiculous. Unfortunately too many players care about online ratings and use computers to assist themselves.
1115 tactics rating. He is member for 6 months now. And being lucky with such a move in a 3/2 game? neh.
h5 a5 honestly already tells you that he uses chess engine to look cool while playing ridicoulous opening
Also, if you look at his game history, he only seeks players that are like -400 rating under him, douchebag....
I don't think that was particularly hard move to find tbh.. but it would take perhaps a few seconds of thinking for sure

that move was beautiful and yet it was not complicated. the variations are short and easy to calculate. queen is the only defender of g3 which protects white from checkmate. when we look at other moves in the game, they all look human. 3+2 is not that short to find great moves. if i was playing against him, i could notice the time spent between his moves. but i accept that you need to have sharp eyes to see Qh6-a6 maneuvre as a decisive blow when your knight has blocked her way. such moves from one side of the board to the other side are always difficult to spot specially in blitz. also his opening is interesting. you need to have a lot of confidence in your middle game skills when you open a game like that. cheating is not an isolated occurance. a cheater enjoys it and keeps doing it. so you can take a look at some of his recent games to see if you notice anything suspicious.
Just watched one of his games and look how he speaks to people on the chat (I pretended that 30 people were watching his game just to make him feel awkward 
) [game removed -- MOD]

If you didn't report him I will.
For a 1900 + player maybe that move could be plausible, but for an 1100 tactics rating no way.

I downloaded this game because I'm bored. Ok obviously black played garbage moves early, but then there were several stockfish recommended moves leading up to Nb4. On one hand it does seem fishy, on the other hand, I don't think it's terribly hard to see that if the white queen is deflected the knight can give mate and I myself have spotted crazy sacrifices in blitz games on occasion and I suck at blitz so who knows. I guess if you really believe you were cheated then email staff and ask them to take a look.
aforementioned
actualy looking at the move closer it's more to do with the sequence of moves leading up to that move which makes it somewhat suspicious.. who knows.

Sad that virtual rating points are important enough ...
It seems a simple Queen deflection so he can play Nxg3#. And also Nb4 is a threat to take the Queen, what's so strange about that move??
Actually, there's no point in snitching. I'm sure he'll get banned soon.

He did spend 10.8 seconds on move 23. But you can report suspicions here

It's not just move 23. From move 10 forward, your opponent's moves match engine moves (Fritz 9 and Houdini 1.5a). I'd report him.

those moves were natural. also engines change their first choices if you give them time to go deeper. anyway this game does not prove he is a cheater and he has had alternating success in his other games. let's just assume he had a great game. it is sad each time your opponent finds an inspiring move, you acccuse him of cheating.
why not give him a chance to explain? i sent this topic's address in his profile.

Hmm, there's a sense of biastizm in the air..
