The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount.

I came on this site to play other human beings of a similar skill level, but I know that I'm often playing either a bot or another player who is being assisted somehow. I often have a day or two where I can't seem to win, even against players ranked below me, and my rating tumbles, but I also have days where I can't lose, even against players ranked higher than me, and my rating climbs. Obviously, it's being fixed and I don't like it. I'd rather play an honest game and lose. Does anyone agree, and do you know of any chess sites where you actually play real people without interference.
