People accusing you of cheating

   Why is it that some disgruntled players when losing lash out with the accusation of cheat. I do not know how it is even possible to cheat in a 3 minute blitz game. This accusation really infuriates me...and despite no evidence they keep calling you cheat and claim to "just know". Unfounded allegations perpetuated by these chess trolls should be monitored and penalised

Maybe you don't know how it's possible to cheat in blitz - but I assure you, as a programmer, that it is possible.

If the accusations are unfounded, then they are high compliments. If they're not, you shouldn't be offended.

"Unfounded allegations perpetuated by these chess trolls should be monitored and penalised."

That seems highly impractical... I think people should be able to say whatever they want, although I can understand why you might want to filter "swear words" given that there are kids on here and what not. If you don't like what someone is saying, mute them or disable chat.

I only play online blitz here after I've drunk some and smoked some and I have been accused of using a computer.  I figure that if they're serious then they've only played some real crap computers.

I must admit Berningfast, I tend to say nothing when playing online but I do ove a good troll war if my opponent starts it! Have not found it much on chess.com but I used to go to Yahoo chess for just that! hehe.

The problem is that you could get banned.

I don´t know if saying "he did it first" would be a good defense.

Hmmm .... I'm extremely puzzled.
I didn't know one could cheat playing chess on a computer.
When I make a move that is illegal the computer does not allow it.
Soooo ..... how does one cheat playing chess on a computer?

@friedrich2

you could run a chess engine (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_engine)

in the background or on another computer, input your opponents

move into it, and play the engine's move on chess.com

this tactic can also be used when playing strong players in a simul

Can you stop spamming the forums please?

 

And back to the point, I've only ever accused someone of cheating once, after their performance in a game suddenly became godlike. Never been accused of cheating, as I'm not a good player, but just say "Whatever" and disable the chat, there's not much more you can do and he'll get butthurt, which is a triumph to you.

Disable chat, that shuts them up.
