Definitely he was. And you were too. Using a computer is the only way to play online chess.
Was my opponent using a computer?
White was clearly thinking of playing c5-b4-b5.
Why not play c5 on move 15? Maybe because Qf4 is a possible reply.
g3 prepares this plan by not allowing Qf4. I don't know why so many people are talking about g3.
Was he thinking this when he played g3? I don't know. Could he have cheated? Sure. But this game is pretty boring and normal IMO.
Hello. I've recently played a game for my school chess team. This game was played online because of covid. I suspect my opponent could have used a computer. Overall he had a 98.2 accuracy. My opponent was white.

Probably the most intelligent comment yet!
I have fide raiting dude and I know he is a cheater
Do you have any idea how foolish and pompous that sounds?
You realize when Your opponent uses a computer when:
-All his games start the same
-the time of thinking has some moments and these moments are the same length
-You recognize no real human style, just "automatism"
"-All his games start the same" May human players have very narrow opening repertoires. They aren't cheating when they play the same openings over and over
"-You recognize no real human style, just "automatism"" This is just incredibly subjective and has almost no value. If a strong GM told me that his opponent "had no human style." I might believe him. But the opinion of the average guy is pretty worthless
Stockfish 12 actually recommand 15. g3 at 50 millions node, depth 28/45.
Unnatural move. Highly suspicious of Stockfish assistant.
1 thing
50 million nodes
this is scholastic chess. I'm happy to tell you that 1 move recommended by stockfish is not cheating
1 move is nothing if there is obvious move.
If you have something to capture, 1000 human will capture, 3600 engine will capture. Exactly the same move, no concern. Same to obvious development of pieces etc.
But a very unnatural move is played, suspicion is raised.
Did I say " he is cheating or confirm cheating " at this point?
15.g3 is a very natural move to everyone but typical woodpushers ( a luft for the king, prevents a queen swap, limits the d6 bishop etc), and Stockfish does not like it, and gives 0.00 by various means (15...g5, 15...0-0, 15...0-0-0) at depth 45.
Using a stupidphone to do chess analysis, let alone forensics, isn't a terribly bright idea.
Is a 98.2 accuracy a normal occurrence?
Don't use CAPS as a cheat detection tool. Anyone can get a 99 or 98 if they play well

I pretty much start every game the same except during bullet

You dont even need to play "well" If your opponent is playing like a pile of burning tires, all you need to do id play common sense moves, and that will get you one of them all important high cap scores.

When... He connects to the internet.
The internet to smoke signal gateway isn't very reliable and leads to timeouts very often.
Public accusations are not allowed. Report your opponent privately and the case will be reviewed by the Chess.com team. The forum should be locked.
Overall he had a 98.2 accuracy.
Accuracy is just a gimmick. Even chess.com has warned people that it's not a cheat detection tool.
In any case, he was rated a lot higher than you, and the game was a boring caro where most pieces are traded off early... many people would have a 90+ "accuracy" in a game like this even if both players were rated 1000.
