Hi,

I am new to this site. I have been accused for using chess engine. I don't know how come people can blame someone without valid evidence.

I mean its quite annoying that I am seriously calculating some lines and opponent distract you by saying some idiotic things.

I believe the site should ban the account of such people.

Cheating is just sad.

Yeah. ..there is no benefit of copying the moves and play all the time. It may increase the the rating. This is just a rating given by chess. com ...who care if it's just 1000 or 2400 points. ...

A bit like that....but an individual cheating to get off on a fake high score on chess.com is sad isn't it?

Just keep in mind that being accused of cheating is the greatest compliment possible if you didn't do it. Enjoy it! :)

Agee with you BJGC.

With busy schedule it's quite difficult to go to chess club and play few games.

Internet chess clubs therefore is the best way for people to play and learn at their convenient time.

 "i am an absolute moron who cheats on chess.com and someone called me out on it so i posted a lame forum topic to see what people think about me."

Hi, since you are new here I would like you to be aware that cheating is one of the topics we are not allowed to discuss publicly in forums. There are some groups where you can discuss it.

 

http://www.chess.com/groups/view/cheating-forum 

http://www.chess.com/groups/view/open-discussion 

I do not know what is going on in there but talking of cheating, religion, and politics in public forums might get you into trouble. Wink

Oh yeah, we gotta pretend like everything is hunky dory.

What should we talk about instead ?

I am not sure whether you replied to my post or not. Be that as it may, I do not say everything here is hunky-dory but I find it fair to inform someone new that she may be doing something that is "illegal" here.

 

If you do not like the Chess.com policy please talk to them about it. Cool

This is what support.chess.com says about your question and I completely agree with it. 

Why do people cheat?

  • Our best guess is a lack of respect for their opponents and for the game - often combined with low self-esteem.

This is where I got this imformation from...
