My story was actually that while I initially thought they were cheating, it looks like they just got a lot better. My point was sometimes folks may look like they're cheating when they may have just gotten better and returned to the site.
No there cheating. Daily game cheating
The cheating thread reminded me of something. I played a game against someone a while back... I was behind the entire game, blundered a piece, and lost swiftly. Ran analysis and my opponent was 100% excellent moves... As I was barely 1200 at the time (not that I'm much better now), I had my usual rainbow distribution of ranked moves. I went and checked several other games of the other player with the analysis... All excellent... I checked losses, also all excellent- sometimes 1 good or inaccuracy and a resignation... Has a decently long history with a few hundred games.
Clearly odd, and probably cheating, at least not a 1200 player. So I reported and waited. One game, no big deal...
I checked in a couple weeks later, and the player settled in at ~1900... Seems much more reasonable with wins and losses now. I guess he paid a visit to Mr. Miyagi and came back way above his previous level. Unfortunately, I just happened to get in the way of his rapid ascent to his new playing level.
Anyone else ever run into this?
