Hello, no point telling chess.com that there are many cheaters on here but... My last game was with such a person. chess.com will do nothing about it. Except kick me off the site. You can tell when you're being cheated. You're winning then the other person switches off and their timer runs down. Suddenly they switch back on and win, without trying. Whenever you see this they have switched something like stock fish on. Chess.com is really terrible for not being able to stop the cheating. So go ahead, cancel my account. As that's how you treat fair players who speak up.

And before anyone gets nasty, I've lost to some GREAT players and that is.... Enjoyable. To be shown how to do it properly. This #£@% head just wasted 30-1 hour of my life. So yeah I'm annoyed and want chess.com to do something about it

Cheaters are banned when they are detected. There are various tools that are used to keep them from returning without permission; these tools are familiar to anyone who has run an online forum.

However, discussions of cheating in the main forum is not permitted, as it tends to become very heated and result in lots of public accusations, many of which are completely unfounded; you might be surprised how many cheating reports we get about low-rated players after a game that was a complete blunderfest. If all these reports were aired in public, it would just cause an ugly flame war. Therefore, I am locking this post.

To report a suspected cheater to the Support team, please select Report Abuse under the Help menu, or use this link: https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/emails/new. All reports are investigated, even if there is no immediate visible action.

To discuss the matter of cheating further, or to learn more about cheat detection, please join the Cheating Forum: https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum

Thanks,
David, moderator
