i am new to this app. i took some lessons and decided to play live opponents tonight. the first two opponents would immediately disconnect when i put any pressure on them. to reconnect a couple of minutes later. i assume from their revitalised play they were consulting chess computers to decide their moves for them. is this a thing? is there any setting i can change to disqualify opponents who use this tactic. surely it is cheating? i don't know the standards. seems pretty weak to me. they have chat turned off. so i cant even call them out on their unsportsman like behaviour. could someone fill me in on if this is acceptable, expected? two out of two so far. i can play the computer myself.

See players at your level won't cheat and it's their network issue and Doesn't everybody have a good network.
