So am cruising along playing some dailies, but one game I am getting crushed, like not even playing the same game. Thats not to say I dont lose, I do, often and with a laughable frequency, however I usually understand where I went wrong. Hell, in my prime I took a couple of master scalps OTB (puffs sagging aging chest out proudly). But this guy was another level. So after the inevitable resignation, I curiously took a look at my opponent in ye ole analyzer.

100% Excellent moves 90% Best Moves.

Woah Horsey! Thats amazing, but ok truth be told I may have one of those in the 100s of games Ive played. What about his win/loss ratio?

Well excluding losses on time, its around 95% wins, with losses on time >80% wins. Very impressive!

So now truly intrigued, I take a look at his other games.

My Goodness! He AVERAGES 100% Excellent moves, 90% Best Moves!

The chess Gods have smiled upon me! Honestly I never thought I would get to, but I can come to only one conclusion...

I played Kasparov!

And the other problem is that you were playing a daily game, where use of databases is allowed. If you stayed in book for a long time, the guy wouldn't need to be Kasparov to play 90% best moves.

Also, you have a free membership, so the quality of analysis available to you is limited.

 Ahhh it was mostly tongue in cheek, if I had proof of cheating I would have reported, thats why I choose to believe he is a GM in disguise!

So basically you’re making a vague insinuation that some opponent may have been cheating. Why bother. Report or do not. There’s nothing of interest to anybody here.

oh jeez I was having a piss mate, I thought it was amusing was all, you dont speak for everyone so just crab off

Frankly, I think this is a way better thread than the other "Oh my god, I was cheated!" threads.  Credit to you for comedic creativity, SH.

I don't think you were kidding at all. It's pretty easy to figure out which game you were talking about. You only lost two daily games today and only one of them was a blowout. 100% best moves for the whole game is pretty unusual.  And the guy does have a very high win percentage if you exclude his timeouts.

It's not up to you to provide proof.  If you are suspicious, report the guy and the staff will check it out.

Because Stinking Hyenas need an excuse to laugh

I think your missing the point...Its not if he is a cheater or not, but the way I decided to look at it that I wanted to share...instead of whining about it, taking the opposite approach and being excited...but whatever

BTW no idea how to reply to a specific comment, so my threads look like Rainman did them '7, 7s, a lot 7s',

Whatever cuteness you may have couched it in, it remains an insinuation of cheating. Report or don’t but don’t make your suspicions public

Lets just agree to disagree.

I can tell you are still being sarcastic. You really mean that you agree.

Well I would point out its a heroic defense of players reputation who was not named, whom may or may not exist, over a game that may or may not have been played, and even then was never accused but merely insinuated against. Damage of a players potential reputation if you will.

Now if I only had lawyers like that for that pesky public indecency charge...
