[name redacted] - Cheater at Pro Chess League

Sort:
Hi11

Hello all,

[name removed - MOD] was caught cheating in the Pro Chess League, and I was informed that cheaters would be unable to log into their account, but their accounts will stay to protect there (already ruined) reputation. But [name removed - MOD] is still able to log in for some reason. Why is this?

This thread will be closed soon. Before it does, where's the evidence/declaration that [Name removed - MOD] was cheating?

 um have you checked the games before making accusations?

Remember what the immortal Al Bundy said - "It's only cheating, if you get caught!"

It's good that stuff like this will prevent serious chess competitions from being hosted purely online. The OTB element of chess is really good, imo.

I don't see anything overtly suspicious about it.  If anyone can point out why it violates a fair play policy please do so now otherwise the accusation should be retracted and a full public apology issued.

Chess.com takes cheating very seriously: see https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-com-fair-play-and-cheat-detection, https://support.chess.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1444879-fair-play-on-chess-com-what-you-need-to-know and https://www.chess.com/blog/DanielRensch/cheating-on-chesscom.
Having said that, public accusations in the open forums is not the way to address these concerns, so I am locking this thread; please report any suspected cheating to the Support team via https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/emails/new and trust that it will be investigated, even if there is no immediate visible action.
