OP forgot to take his paranoia pills today.
Is this GM using someone else account !? What's the name of this GM !?
https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/73287899921?tab=analysis
I also have a win against him I flagged him easily. My theory is that since his username is vica56, his first name is probably Vincent or Victor and has a surname starting with the letters Ca. I theorise that he was born in 1956 because of the 56 in his username, which would make him 67 years old, explaining why he plays so slowly.
no lol legit gm. he has title.
I agree that player seemed quite weak.
I've played him three times, two wins one loss. I have NEVER outplayed him on the board. All three games he had about 92 accuracy. He is not weak by any means, just slow.
Look at the game vs 1cbb - completely outplaying black. It's not even close. Then just runs out of time.
He is just old and his high bullet and rapid ratings are very provisional, so they don't even need to be considered at all.
I'm very suspicious, this GM plays extremely weak and slow , also having very low rating.
Also his/her rapid and bullet ratings don't match up to a blitz rating .
I've just played him/her and I've played probably my weakest game and still won without much effort.
This is my game if you are interested:
ESP-918 vs vica56 - https://chess.com/live/game/16005879937
Does anyone know this GM ? Name I mean, so I can look it up their FIDE ratings etc...
Vica56 has been on here since 2012. https://www.chess.com/member/vica56
Nearly 55,000 blitz games.
The bullet and rapid ratings aren't based on any games.
It says there bullet 2500+ rating and rapid 2400+ you are saying based on no games? Then where is this numbers come from?
Maybe someone just using their account! Didn't you think of that ? Look at other games not just mine loosing to a much lower players ! That's why I asked for a FIDE CARD so I can compare and know some information about this person if he or she lower rated on FIDE CARD then it's ok explains it but need to see some history and more information I don't even know WHO AM I PLAYING !? Normally all title players have there names next to a title.
And I have right to suspect and question this GM , because in the past chess.com gave many beginners (which was streamers) a titles they didn't earn such as WGM etc , if needed I can name them .
I Beat this guy twice and lost once in about the past month (flagged him ofc), and I was told that this guy is old irl but he has a lower blitz rating because he does not play quickly online. OTB, he plays well in longer time controls and in a series of matches against a 2400 fide, he was able to crush him 3 times ,only losing on time twice.

I ignored the clock, and part of why this play was so weak was surely the time format, but the moves shown out of context don't look like someone who has a clue, to say the least.
in post #43, white (the gm) outplayed 1cbb every step of the way, and then lost on time. He definitely had more than just a clue.

Neither player seemed particularly able, to say the least.
Yes, you are definitely saying the least.
Haha says the one who has 1400 elo
Not even , but my current opinion is that there is little progress made between 1400 and 2400 elo.
As long as you're happy
Ya'kk flaming the guy but for all you know he could be an 80-year-old chess GM long past his prime. your skills start to deteriorate with age after all

His skills are perfectly fine. He's just slow

I think i'd be happier in a world with good chess players.
Chess deserves to be explored and done justice.
If everyone played moves like that gm, but faster, 2700 would be the new 100.
OP - Suspect what ??? (You have a right to be suspicious??? How trivial can you be?)
Stop being a worthless busy- body with suspicions.
He’s a GM who plays blitz at a 2100+ rating.
End of story. Your attempts to reveal his identity is called doxing - a highly illegal activity.
If my attempt to reveal their identity is called doing, then maybe you should tell this to chess.com, because every title Tuesday, they obligate EVERY single (title) player to REVEAL their identity and MUST have their REAL name NEXT to their title other ways they won't pay them EVEN if they win 1st plays NO NAME = NO $$$ ! Ask them WHY !? I'm sure chess.com already knows who they are but still DEMANDS their name !
It’s called “doxing” an attempt to disclose/reveal an anonymous account’s real identity.
Next. You are incorrect about GM’s having to show/reveal their true identity. This only applies if they win money/ finish in the top standings. Otherwise, GM’s can and do play anonymous and should not be harassed by the OP’s nonsense suspicions.
