The game looks completely honest.
Also the profile pic of your opponent is a little kid and his status says something about Jesus... so he's both young and mentally deficient... so don't worry about it.

Not that I'm that strong, but to my eye pretty much all moves by white seemed quite natural, and there were quite many moves that were "just ok" according to the engine, but extremely natural from a human's point of view.
One particular example is 22.Nf7, forking the queen and rook. I think 99.99% of players would make this move, yet the engine considers it merely "good", suggesting a highly unintuitive 22.Nb7 instead, which at its surface doesn't seem to make much sense (why voluntarily allow black to get out of the fork?) Someone using an engine would probably have moved that Nb7 rather than the natural Nf7, not daring to go against the engine's suggestion.
So I played in an arena and drew someone I recognized because I saw him playing Hikaru in arena kings yesterday, [mod name removed] I put every ounce of what little skill I have into the game and somehow mange to win. He immediately attacks me, tells me he's streaming and I'm cheating. I went to his channel assure him the game was legit and he and his viewer would have none of it. I feel the engine clearly shows he played a trash game and I capitalized. Also he stated several times I played "cutting edge opening theory" the engine shows good, not best moves very early in the game. Here is a link to the game. What do you guys think? [mod link removed]
