There was/is an account here called stoptryinghard that some speculated could be his account here, but this guy wasn't nearly strong enough to be Carlsen
Maybe we have only seen him play sober.

Why the suspicion of cheating? Because he's playing too well? Magnus Carlsen is known to be a very good player.

Cheating is not a matter of how well someone plays, but how much like a chess engine they play: there's a significant difference between humans and chess engines.
Having said that, any detailed discussion about cheating should not be done in the public forums, but in the Cheat Detection Club at https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum
I am therefore locking this thread.
