I can't play speed chess anymore because of medication so I am playing 15/10. 90+% of the games I play are fair and enjoyable but there are these really obvious cheaters that confound me. The hallmarks are simple: rapid rating much higher than blitz, sometimes by 1000 points or more; same delay on each move 25 seconds in the opening and 25 seconds in complex middle game positions; Fritz thinks they played perfectly. This is usually obvious by move 10. I don't see the point in this. Unless they have worked very hard to prevent it (and even then maybe), I can program my computer to hook up Fritz to chess.com and beat every non-cheater. Big deal. Everyone on chess.com can get a free chess program that will trash me every time. If someone really wants my rating points, I would be happy to hand them over. But it's just a drain on the whole experience for everyone as it corrupts the rating system and creates rating point sinks (hard to believe people keep doing that for hundreds of games). Anybody have any suggestions other than just resigning and reporting? Very annoying.
