Is studying/taking chess classes 'cheating' when participating in a multi-day game or tournament?

Friend I’m starting to get the feeling that perhaps you don’t like me? I keep praising you and you keep insulting me. I don’t understand That makes me sad  . 

Lol nothing to reply to that. But:

-You won 100 elo points 1 day. But that's nothing compared when you won 500 elo points in less than 20 days or when you won 600 in 6 days.

-You reached 2k elo while having 1300 at tactics.

-You have played no blitz game since you reached 2k becouse your Glicko RD was nothing but normal, even though your average opponent ratio is suspicious as hell even more than a month after.

Yes I had to work so hard to get to 2000 rating and I don’t want to lose it, so I’ve been playing 2|1 bullet ever since. It’s essentially the same amount of time as 3 minute no increment which is my favorite time control. 

Thank you for noticing friend!!!

Back to you though friend. I understand you are incredibly humble and don’t like to brag, but how did you become so brilliant in such a short period of time? Did you start eating nothing but brain foods? I’m sure all of chess.com would like to know your secret. Please enlighten us!

Well you are always gonna have an excuse for all your incredible acomplishments.

I won 400 points in 3 weeks but I was at 1100 wich is way easier than going from 1300 to 1950 like you did, in fact what I did is possible with hard work, what you did is not.

Friend, you know the reason my rating fluctuated up and down so much is because I used to sandbag, which was allowed.

I’ve never improved as rapidly as you have in such a short period of time. I’m nowhere near as impressive as you are. Your rating increases are unprecedented!!! You truly are a genius. Also I noticed your rating has gone down a lot since those mean bullies accused you of being an engine using  cheat. Now I’m sure they would argue that this is because you’ve had to stop using an engine , so your rating plummeted as a result. I would never make that argument though. Instead I suspect it’s because you stopped eating your brain foods. You should go back to eating whatever it was you were at the time of your unprecedented rating gain that you’ve so humbly tried to hide, and pretty soon your rating will be rivaling that of Carlsen and Kasparov!

Friend. I still feel like your upset for some reason. 

I know what will calm you down how about we analyze your game with Testaa!! 

Ok friend I will respect your desire to be humble. If you decide you want to stop being so humble and discuss  how You overnight went from complete beginner to playing absolute brilliancies then please message me and I will interview you on behalf of the chess.com public. We can’t let such a genius waste away in hiding. 

I'm not upset as anyone can watch your stats and mine, it's clear who is lying. Stop saying I'm hiding cuz I'm not, it's as stupid as anything you said. Im very active in the forums, if I wanted to hide I wouldn't be active.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...

Friend. I’ve given you permission no less than 6 times to post any of my 17000 games. Any of them.

Do I have your permission to post your games?

Funny thing is not one person has ever accused me of using an engine while there are no less than 6 threads where you bragged about your brilliant wins, or massive rating increases and then when posters posted all your brilliant wins with analysis and accused you of being an engine using cheat you would always delete your original post and go into hiding. Incredible humbleness by you to not want to be recognized as the greatest player of all time that you so rightfully earned. No one has ever accused me of using an engine becuase my play could never be confused with an engine. This is why I have repeatedly given you permission to post any of my games and you have never once done so. Instead you  just randomly make accusations at anyone who points out how brilliantly you played becuase you’re so humble

Omg you are a lying for real. Me bragging about my brillinat wins? I have never made any thread about my wins, literally never. My massive rating increses? One time and not massive, not even close to yours. What a funny liar you are.

My personal code of conduct goes a little beyond what the official rules require: in addition to not looking at an engine or discussing the position with another person, I will not reference a book or databases etc where doing so would feed me a move suggestion specific to the position I'm in (which is in fact allowed per "you may consult any resource which is not engine-based. This includes books, opening databases (including the Chess.com Explorer) ").

It's fine though to, for instance, read generally about rook endings if you're in a rook ending. That's one of the perks of turn-based games.

Nice try friend! Do you remember making that quote? That was in the London System thread. Do you remember claiming that no threads existed where mean bullies accused brilliant you of being an engine using cheat. You then posted the link to this random thread that has nothing to do with anyything and then went into hiding once I posted the link to your 400 elo points in twenty days thread.

See how that post of yours was a blatant lie. It's incredibly classy of you to continue to lie and change your story everytime its proven that you're lying all in an attempt to try and hide from the fact that you are the greatest chess player who ever lived. How classy of you to lie to try to cover up  the dozens of games where you played at Stockfish level strength. Incredibly humble by you. I keep gaininjg respect for you by the minute. I'm so lucky to have a friend like you

Trolls have invaded by the looks of it, or a liver's toff.

Study is not cheating. If you happen to chance on a study which involves the exact position you have reached in a game, good luck I say. But hope your opponent does not stray from the line which lost, and you are all on your own again.

Now I see, you aren't simply a liar, also stupid as hell. I never have hided anything and literally nobody said that I use cheats in that thread LOL

By this point you are repteating yourself becouse you have no argument at all and not enough of a brain to come up with something with a minimal of sense. Becouse of this I'm not gonna reply to you anymore, just let the people check out who is lying via our stats (as you deleted all the comments on your profile who accused you of cheating).

And remember... who smealt it, dealt it!

Cya

Ok friend clearly your reading comprehension skills are not good. Anyhow Back into hiding you go just like you do every single time someone points out that you are just as brilliant as Stockfish. 

You’re just embarrassed that you got called out for being an engine using cheat by random posters when you created a thread bragging about your brilliant wins against me,a player rated hundreds of points higher than you, so you decide through your great humbleness to insult anyone who points out that your as good as Stockfish and make ridiculous accusations against them of engine use to try to cover up that you’re the greatest chess player who ever lived. Since we are such good friends you still have my permission to post any of my 17000 games on any thread anytime, which you have never once taken me up on. People who make nonsensical claims should back them up which you refuse to do. I however have proven time and again by posting actual games you have played that  you are every bit as genius as stockfish. Also there are no less than 6 threads like your “ I won 400 elo points in 20 days thread” where you brag about your brilliant wins and massive rating increases and then you delete your original post when mean bullies post your games with analysis and accuse brilliant you of using an engine.

Back into hiding you go. I suspect you’ll be gone even longer than normal! Bye friend. I will miss you

Wait friend come back real fast. I just looked at your blitz games again. Did you know that you’ve won 23 games out of your last 25 blitz games when rematching following a loss? 

Every single time you lose to an opponent and they give you a rematch you always play brilliantly in the second game, and win at a rate of 92% that’s incredible especially since they must be better than you to beat you the first game. Now I’m sure those mean bullies who accused you of being an engine user would say this is because you turn on stockfish for the second game becuase you’re embarrassed about the result in the first game, but I would never accuse you of that. No instead I think you simply weren’t trying the first game, and then in the second game you decide to try and play at your true level which is equal to that of stockfish!! 

Wow.. I can't believe I read so much of that.
