So even though I knew the theory beforehand, because this is a new account, I will get banned?
Can you get banned for high accuracy in an opening trap?

Hopefully I'll be able to make a ban appeal. I didn't buy this diamond membership to be unfairly banned.

So you're accusing me of cheating even though all I watched was a youtube video explaining this exact opening trap?


I watched GothamChess video explaining this opening. This is the exact opening trap he showed.

A single game in which you played well is not enough to get banned. It can actually not be that hard to get a high accuracy in a game as short as this one.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Have you had other accounts here Pdffiles?
I don't have any other online accounts no.
I also LOVE how new users all play like Bobby Ficher and reach ratings above 2000. Thay are all chess GM/s
I suppose you dont mean the OP, since he's 400, 500 and 900 elo on this account.

Yes, I mainly played chess with my dad with a real chess board
Number (1) I do not believe you and number (2) gl to you
Kindly stop making a nuisance of yourself.

Eric has played 12 games and has a SEA OF GREEN
Don't be so churlish. Evidently, my initial rating was below my skill level. The "sea of green" will get mixed with red in due time.

So I recently played a ponziani opening where my opponent fell into a very common trap. He then resigned some moves after.
I then checked game review and I had a 97% accuracy. Will I get banned?

If you're playing fairly, you have nothing to worry about.

Mr. PogosBest, after taking a look at your other comments, it seems you have a hatred for new accounts. I will therefore take your prior comments with a grain of salt.

indeed. I would think you have nothing to fear from opening traps (especially playing more Classic time or Daily games) or variations, some lines going as far as 20+ deep and BOTH of you are playing it accurately to a certain point. However, I do agree with some that cheating starts in the middle game, at some critical point where it could go either way and the follow up moves- then yeah, it's incumbent on either you or them to report any misdoings. Common sense. But for me, I don't play for sport anymore and I don't report someone even if I know they're cheating because it's on them. Heh. I just try avoiding people 300+ lower than me (unless I know them or we're friends) or like everyone here says, "new" accounts.

I think you're fine I Know that trap and I've seen it in my games before.I believe you knew that theory.

I agree, "smart cheaters" start in the middlegame. all the cheaters i have played have tryed to throw the opening and win the middlegame
