Nobody would ever know and you could've continued as if nothing happened, but now that you've made a thread about you cheating, you will instead be removed from the platform.
I think I cheated, I need chess.com to remove elo and make it a draw, or loss for myself.
Sort:
Hope not, but if that's the case, it's the case.

We forgive you. Or at least I do. And now for penance you have to make the coffee. Think I'll go do that now.
You score points for contrition. Spellchecker changed penance to Penzance. Hilarious.

One thing I've noticed playing Stockfish is that I will always cheat if analysis is showing. It's like my eyes are magnetically attracted to seeing the right answer. Kind of like being in school taking a test next to the smart kid. Turn off your engines, close your books and stay off of Youtube.
Take it easy Honest Abraham😂

If anybody ever feels bad about cheating there is always the resign button. No questions asked. Amnesty granted.
Watched a video in the middle of a 10-minute game with no increment? Good story.

I'm so stupid. Why do I fall for these stories everytime?
So I guess that if anybody is playing a daily game, there are no chess videos, coaching sessions or chess books for a week and a half! The forums are probably a no-go too since you might read something pertaining to your game. Come on lol, stop😆
Everybody please applaud OP for his honesty theatre.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yes, it is cheating to look up a mating pattern in a live game. No outside assistance is allowed, and that would include watching chess videos.
The following rules apply to ANY GAME CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS:
• For “Live” games (as in ‘over-the-board’ i.e. OTB, games) it is ILLEGAL to consult or employ ANY external aid or resource, including human assistance.
• For “Daily” games (as in so-called ‘correspondence’ chess) it is LEGAL to consult passive resources such as books, articles, online databases, opening explorers, etc. However, it is ILLEGAL to use computers/chess engines to calculate moves, or to consult with another human about the game.

The 11 second chunk on my turn. That's not joking, and dead serious.

That makes me think that the least that needs to happen is points restored to the other player and the removal of points from my rating.
I just didn't even think of it until like 10 minutes after the match. I realized 'wait a sec, I can't do that, and I'm not trying to cheat someone out of their rightful elo.'
I tried to find a way to report myself, but I didn't see the option.
you 'think' you cheated...???
yo either cheated or u didnt...in either case u would know
lmao

Not true; I wasn't sure until someone in this thread linked the specific rule about not consulting anything relating to your chess game in a live game.
It is cheating; it was also a lapse in judgement. I forgot how to checkmate with rook and king. So I googled it, opened the video in a new tab, saw the screen, closed the tab, kept playing. It literally took 11 seconds and is shown in the time stamps. I wasn't going and inputting moves in some engine, but it was still cheating by consulting a picture within the video.
I couldn't remember how to checkmate with rook and king, so I looked up a youtube video because I couldn't figure out how to force him in the position. I didn't actually watch the video, I just fast forwarded until I got to the position that showed me what I was looking for to make sure I was doing it right.
Immediately after looking up the video, the opponent kept putting himself in exactly the position I needed him to be in.
It wasn't intentional cheating, but I should have waited until the match was over.
Here is the game https://www.chess.com/game/live/65457678537?username=vvasu13
vvasu13 is who should probably get the points for the win, or at the very least points provided back, and mine removed.
I didn't mean to, I wasn't really even thinking about it, I'm so low elo that I wasn't sure if I was right in where I needed him to be, but at the end of the day, I used an external video to see the position? that I needed his king to be in.
I hope I don't get banned, especially since I'm self reporting, and nobody would ever know.
I am legitimately my elo, I knew I'd be low elo, that's why my account name is 'thelowelo'. I mean...I'm fairly sure the 'chess speaks for itself' and you can tell...I suck. Regardless, please adjust the point system, it occurred to me like 5-10 minutes after the game that it may be considered cheating, and I'm not about that.
