I remember discovering on an umodded online chess app for the PS3 (i.e. no rules) that the top ranked player was obviously using a computer. So I challenge him to a game and sure enough, he was using engine help on each move. I intentionally played what I called "testing moves" which entice a certain reaction that a computer will predictably make. On each turn, he never deviated from the engine. I steer the game into a safe draw and offer a rematch. He accepts thinking he'll get a win on the next game.
We start the 2nd game and this time I go all out with complicated Sicilian theory. I lure his engine into an opening trap (most cheaters don't know deeper centaur theory), and the guy freaks out once the engine starts reporting that he is losing. I get this angry cuss message about how I'm a disgusting cheater. It made me laugh at how hypocritical he was being, so I messaged him back and said "You're only pissed off because you've been cheating with a perfect record up to this point, and somebody caught you on it". This sent him into silence and he refused to move. Since the site didn't track time per move, this left the game in limbo permanently. He has to live with a losing position on one of his game slots for the rest of his PS3 gaming life.
Probably, Uveek in disguise.

agreed, LOL
"this left the game in limbo permanently. He has to live with a losing position"
Mirroring of two games against two stronger opponents is one of the very common cheating procedure in correspondence chess. The cheater ensures 50% score against these opponents. It is employed especially in a round robin tournament of 4 or more players.

Whatever your level is on this site it has to be bcaked up by your level in real life. I'm a uschess 1800+ and I'm around 1900 here on everything. Any player that has no real life rating and is near or above 2000 is probably cheating.
This is a ridiculous statement, and I can't believe nobody addressed this. Having no real life rating only means you don't play tournaments. There are people who live too far away from anywhere where a USCF tournament is hosted. Or maybe they don't want to pay the fee to join. It can be extremely inconvenient for a host of reasons. Interesting that you would hold that view seeing as how you happen to have a real life rating. You're a clown for making such a ridiculous comment. Not everyone has the opportunity to play sanctioned OTB tournaments.
