I guess they are cheating themselves; anyway I will need to find otb places, and use this site for practicing openings and some basic principles I might need.

Hi,
I started playing online chess on this site, and I have played thousands of games here. After two years I gave a break for several months. Then I started to play again. But when I did that, I have noticed one thing: There are a lot of cheaters on site. Not one or two or ten, there are hundreds of cheaters.
I'm a player between 1750 and 1850 rating. When I got a new username I thought I would be around that range. But it didn't happen. I lost to a 1200 rated player, 1380 rated player etc etc. I got frustrated and left the site because I could play a computer on my laptop.
Then I tried again with a new username, same thing happen. A 1400 rated player could play like Magnus and many miracles like that.
I tried 5 or 6 times with new usernames. I spent hours to climb up to 1750 but I couldn't because of too much cheating.
I repeat: There are not ten cheaters on this site. There are HUNDREDS of cheaters here on every level. I'm an old man, 3 min or bullet is too fast for me but I don't have the courage to play a 5 min or 10 min game because I know I would be playing a cheater who uses his software for educational purposes.
Chess is great. I love the game, but it is frustrating to play a cheater every five games.
I am leaving for good this time.
