New to Chess? Really?

BotezGambitAgain

Kind of "sus" as Hikaru would say, when i, a true beginner to chess, sign into online games at the "new to chess" or "beginner" level, and am sliced to pieces with perfect, rapid, blunder free, accurate play. My opponents are either 1500+ or cheaters. They are not new to chess. Happens. Every. Time. And i can beat the the 1000 elo bots on chess.com with my small knowledge base. Bunch of bullies here.

Not locked yet? Ok.

The only thing I wanna say is that bots here are overrated. I do not know why chess.com does not fix it, but that's how it is now. If you play a bot with 1000 rating, it is not the same as playing a 1000 human player.

Other than that, if you suspect someone of cheating, just report them. But don't assume that everyone who beats you is a cheater.

you can report till the cows come home>>>NOTHING HAPPENS

People get banned for fair play violations all the time here. Maybe there's something wrong in your reporting approach...

OP has won 11 out of 25 games (I didn't look at the details). I.e., nothing out of the ordinary, and doesn't support their premise. OP picks a starting rating that is not true beginner, so doesn't play true beginners. Again, no surprises.

Not specific to OP, but these threads are a dime a dozen, and the end results is almost always that the poster is unable to accurately judge how good their opponents are and is oblivious to their own mistakes.

The OP didn't know how to pick their rating to start. Just signed up. I mostly don't sign in at all, and play as a guest in the "new to chess" or "beginner" catagories. The games don't last long. Probably more fair play when i do sign in, as then i am matched with 800 elo players. Who sometimes use an engine. It's obvious. They'll play slow and ordinary chess until their time is running down, and then they suddenly transform into GM stockfish.

More likely is that you do not know the correct moves to make in the common openings and your opponents do , so to you it will seem like they make "perfect" moves. I think 99.5% people who play bullet or blitz do not want to waste time using an engine just to win a few games. It is simply not interesting for the people to do, which is why they play fast chess in the first place. I understand that there may be more incentive for people to cheat in correspondence games. People can use all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify looking into an engine. The most common in my subjective opinion is when they convince themselves that their opponent is "cheating", so they tell themselves that they will "just make sure the opponent isn't cheating", but this a very bad thing to do.

I am rated about 950-1000. No, I have not played here logged in for a long time. Every single time I play chess as 'new to chess', as a none logged in player I am thrashed. I just played 15 games in a row. Same result 'New to chess' needs some bot to monitor people blocking newcomers and flattening enthusiasm. Every. Single. Time.

I've had lots of games where I get completely smoked as well but I dont report because how can I know if they are cheating? This is a real question to the more experienced members.

I was going to reply to OP saying "have you considered winning" but apparently they haven't.
