There are absolutely no cheaters at chess.com. What are you talking about ?
Besides, it's forbidden to talk about them in the public forums. They are for chats about more important chess topics, such as Indian escorts, the 1000 ways to recognize a mentally retarded Russian player, or why it's tough to be a girl, and what's the worst chess forum...
Relax guys, he's only been here for 2 months. He hasn't met any cheats; YET!
Depends on what type of game it is. If it is not worth analyzing, then not worth reporting.

It really is pretty absurd/surreal.

Just a point on this thread.
I beat epstein342 fairly and squarely today. He immediately jumped on my profile and accused me of cheating. An analysis of our game will show quite clearly that he just played very badly.
I find that people who are immature and aren't used to losing often can't accept the fact that they're not that good and automatically think that anyone who beats them must be cheating.
It's a sad reflection on people who were probably spoiled brats as children and believed their parents when they were told they were "great" when in fact they're mediocre people who play mediocre chess.
I have played with people that made very big mistakes so I defeated them.
Then I go to their profile and read comments from other users such as "Nice program you cheater". It is really ridiculous.

@Rooks - you're right, but unfortunately there are also lots of cheaters on this site. Free membership, peopke re-opening accounts when banned, and many kids and mediocre players as you noted. Chess.com does its best to fight the problem but they have limited resources and are a bit overwhelmed.
For awhile, the highest rated player on chess.com was a USCF C player. Yea...nothing going on there...

There was a thread on here started by a 2000-rated player claiming that titled players were cheating against him.

Tartacower once said that he had never beaten a healthy man. People have been losing chess games for centuries. Only the excuses have changed.

The number one rated blitz chess player claimed at least half of all people over 2200 are cheating. http://www.chess.com/blog/Eilyisum/my-journey-to-2700-blitz-and-a-plea-to-chesscom
I would expect that=how can you tell if someone is cheating= or just a smart player.

Re - post 17 I agree with this assessment after 6 years on the site. However, it's better to discuss this in the cheating forum : chess.com doesn't want the cheating problem to be discussed in the general forums

He made the claim 3 years ago and still plays today. Maybe things have gotten a bit better?
why chess.com is full of cheaters?
