I'm wondering if it's likely to happen that if you play well and did not cheat but your opponent reported you and the cheat detection system decided: you cheated.

Amazing possibilities and potentials are there to this site,opponents may call you a loser when you have beaten them square and fair,they may curse and trash talk you,may accuse you of murder,may call you a fly eater! Its all normal and natural.Don't you worry,stay strong and disable all communications till you feel good.Rest is in gods hands.

JNM37, I’m guessing they probably have a software that can detect what your average playing rate is; if you suddenly play way over that rating, then sure that could simply be that you got lucky on several moves in that game. But if they see that over a certain range of games you “suddenly got lucky” a couple of times like that, then there’s a high likelihood of cheating.

Cheaters are banned when they are detected.  There are various tools that are used to keep them from returning without permission; these tools are familiar to anyone who has run an online forum.


However, discussions of cheating in the main forum is not permitted, as it tends to become very heated and result in lots of public accusations, many of which are completely unfounded; you might be surprised how many cheating reports we get about low-rated players after a game that was a complete blunderfest. If all these reports were aired in public, it would just cause an ugly flame war. Therefore, I am locking this post.


To report a suspected cheater to the Support team, please select Report Abuse under the Help menu, or use this link: https://support.chess.com/customer/portal/emails/new. All reports are investigated, even if there is no immediate visible action.
