But not so easy to tell whether or not somebody is actually playing WAY WAY above their rating.

cmon dude youre rating is like 1300 what makes you think people are cheating against you? do you have any examples of this alleged cheating?

kingspud

Yes, actually a player admitted to cheating when I told him to stop using a computer to play!

That proof enough EliasAStern?

Nobody really cares about those sort of complaints.  It's all relatively minor really.  There was another person complaining about the board freezing.  Supposedly it's been that way for years.

Just shut up and move on.

Actually you're dead wrong. There's nothing minor about it. That person you mentioned with the valid board freezing complaint is me. The thing that's happened for years is the phenomenon of the opponent's timer ticking while you wait for them to move only to find out you've been given the loss on time even though you had an excellent connnection with no lag, never disconnected and it was your opponent's turn to move.

You are the one who needs to shut up and move on. And seeing as how you only joined today, yesterday wouldn't be soon enough for you to do so.

If ratings are very important to you here, than it is strange when a 1200 or 1300 player makes moves a grandmaster would make.

exactly!

Just take a look at the banned list of cheaters. Every hour someone is banned for cheating.

Ive been accused of cheating in blitz at least a dozen times.. my rating may fall 200-300 points below my true ability because I like to play blitz in less than optimal conditions like on my phone while commuting, on a plane or in the terminal during business travel. Then when I return and get in front my 28 inch monitor desktop.. I'm in the 1300's playing like the true 1600 that I am.. OMG CHEEETER!!

This issue drives me nuts too.  I come here to have a fun game of chess, a good battle of minds.  I want to improve, and learn to defeat my opponent.  If I wanted to learn to defeat a computer I'd play Chessmaster or something else.  I come here to play real live people.

Deleted what I'd said, because I was unaware this was a banned topic.

I also play on my phone and lose a lot of game because of it!

But the cheating thing had been thrown at me also!  I have a club rating in real life and play up and down because of the stupid phone thing, but I never cheat and it is usually the ones who have a low rating and start playing like they are 2000 rating!  its pretty easy to tell!

This locking thing is taking it time.

Sorry, close to 1600 in real life!

Done and said.  Merry Christmas.

Never ever will pay for this site.

Not one penny from me.  Let the cheaters pay for the ads.

I'm sure that in his mind he is only doing it against cheaters, so it's ok (according to him).
