I haven't played on chess.com for months. The level of cheating was too high and costly for me. I started playing again today, playing two games against two promising new players. The behavior of these players is scandalous, and the administrators' inaction is truly embarrassing. I will immediately cancel my subsription and spread the word that chess.com has become unplayable.

Your last batch of losses all have the same themes.

You move to fast. You hang material. You exchange at every opportunity even when you shouldn't. Sorry but You are the problem

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
