I hate engine users
So you imply the opponent was cheating?
You know there can be good reasons for a significant change of the moves within a game? You don't? But there are many possibilities why someone is not concentrating in a game while doing something else and then when the game starts to go against him he is concentrating solely on the game.
And for you it's cheating blaming the other person without knowing? What a farce.
So many basic rules of play have been violated in that game posting!!! Don't accuse anyone of anything until you learn how to use your pawns.
If you want to improve, you should try to enjoy the game and stop accusing other people for playing unfair. Your opponent played fine but I don't think he played genius tactics neither he thought much deeper than 3 moves ahead. On your sixth move you were inviting him to take a pawn advantage (at move 15 you could win a pawn back though instead of playing Be4) and move 30 was just a blunder on your side. So after all I think he won because he took the chances you gave him. Try not to lose your concentration in the game and I am sure you can at least draw this kind of games :)

That's the point.
Quick computer analysis says you gave the game away with 30. f3. Should have followed the Finegold rule, "never play f3". You gave him a free pawn, so he took it.
Also you let yourself be skewered, lol.
edit: You let yourself be skewered twice. If you have trouble seeing simple tactics, grind more tactics puzzles.
Move your king up next time before you push those pawns in front of your king. And don't trade all the pieces off for no reason; do it when you can go into a winning endgame.
The weaknesses he exploited don't take an engine to see. There were really no clever combinations here, just some straightforward two to three move tactics.
The computer says you both made a dozen inaccuracies and mistakes each, but only you made a blunder. One blunder is all it takes to going from winning to losing (you weren't winning, though. Your position was worse, but could have been turned around or at least drawn)
I think only those above 1900 or so should be suspected of using an engine, and most of them don't, they are just really good.....how could you use an engine and still be low rated....it makes no sense at all.....
Always confuses me how players with beginner ratings can be so convinced their opponents cheated. It's always the same story. "I was winning and then he started playing amazing moves".
A beginner doesn't know what amazing moves look like yet. If you did then you wouldn't have a beginner rating. Even if your opponent cheated there is no way you would know.
A blind person cannot tell the difference between a real and a fake Rembrandt.

He might. If he is allowed to touch and smell it.
If you want to know how to accurately detect cheating, please join the Cheating Discussion forum at https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum.
Cheating accusations should not be made in the public forums, so I am locking this thread.
