Cheating/ Harrassment
Sort:
Recently I played a blitz game and was rather pleased to find a few slightly clever tactics. my opponent immediately accused me of cheating and threatened to report me unless I resigned l, to which I encouraged him to report it if he suspected foul play. upon analyzing the game I found that my attack was actually subpar and only worked because my opponent played subpar moves. This Mark's the 3rd time someone has accused me of cheating and while on one hand its flattering it means my opponent is so impressed with my moves (or is just a sore loser, very possible.) on the other hand he is obviously accusing you of cheating which means he believes the moves are not my own. As someone who has recently spent a great amount of effort improving at the game its deflating to see improvement in the strength of my moves only to have it overshadowed by some 1200 who missed a tactic and os now convinced he loss the game due to cheating. This has been the case in all instances of accusations and each time it infuriates me. I'm not afraid of my account being deactivated because frankly if you analyze my games I'm pretty trash overall but that's what bugs me. I'm getting better and I'm wondering how often this happens to other players being falsely accused that is. what are you alls experience with this matter? Am I overreacting?

If you play cleanly, which should be the case, then there's nothing to worry.
Report them for verbal harassment. It's more likely that they will get muted or banned instead.
I play cleanly 21,000 games and counting. Not worried about being banned because the people behind fair play will analyze the game compared to my others and relative playing strength and they'll be able to tell but it still gets under my skin for some reason
