Something is off about this match. Each time my opponent plays, his time resets to 16+ mins while mine keeps going down. He attacked early with his queen which i later captured and he resigned....

But the big issue is, why isnt his time counting down

After every move by a player in that time control, 15 seconds gets added to the player's clock. Players making moves quickly enough will gain time on their clock. There's no cheating

And this is why accusations of cheating aren’t allowed in the public forums - because so many people have no idea what cheating actually looks like.

@David I think it’s more because it’s an attempt to sweep it under the rug and downplay how common it is. They aren’t willing to allocate more resources towards cheating, or so it certainly feels

its quite the opposite my man. actually cheaters get caught easily most of the time, it takes skill to conceal the fact you're cheating. so chess.com doesnt have reason to "sweep it under the rug"

If you played with increment like 16|5 if he moved every five seconds shis time would not go down

No it's so we don't become toxic and whiny

Like Twitter or something also this would hurt kids the most since they are also more likely to get called cheaters even if they are not cheating

That's also true only a very small number of people can tell what cheating is even Magnus accuses people unfairly occasionally

I got burned by cheating today then just lost, because it prevented me a draw, because I kept getting disconnected 3 times at the end at a very convenient point thus loosing the game instead of a draw...

That’s not cheating at all - that’s internet problems on your end

Hi guys , question , was at the end game stage , possibly going to win when all of a sudden the game was aborted???? And can't find the game in my game archive??? Apologies if this is slightly of topic but any suggestions??

If that happened it was likely due to the live server restart. When that happens all ongoing games are aborted.

If you are playing with an increment like 👍🏾 16/15, then If he played every 15 seconds, he is not cheating
