Friend Cheating

Sort:
Ligenteilt

I just played three 10 minute games against my friend, who I know doesn't play very well. Yet he defeats me in all of the three games! 

He was using an engine and I was soooo pissed off by this. I'm sure he was using an engine because, in the last two games, he made zero mistakes! I asked him about the openings he liked (because I didn't know he was so good at chess), and he said he didn't know the name of it. I mean seriously! He's 1300 in rapid and he doesn't know what he played against my Sicilian. Also, when I asked him where has he been learning, he said that he has been watching the videos of Magnus Carlsen. Seriously!? Magnus doesn't make videos like that!

He ruined my reputation in front of everyone else. And more than that, I was hoping chess.com cheating detection would catch him but no! Now I am sooo angry and this has just ruined my day and mood. Can anyone please tell me what should I do? How should I cope with this anger? 

And also, a message to chess.com to please improve their anti-cheating system!
