playing against someone who is banned

How would you know after only two moves though?

Sometimes players notice the red crossed circle next to the opponent's name right in the middle of a game but the actual kick occurs later...

Always the same pattern. First move takes about half a minute. Next 3 moves more than a minute. And you see them switching screens.

I saw it when the game was finished.

So that user was not banned while you were playing?

Not that i noticed. But after the game i went to game history bc i wanted to report him and then i saw it. But i didn t get points back or a notification.

When an account is first banned, there can be a short delay before the account is kicked from the system. That sometimes means you can be in a game with a banned account before it finally resolves that

That said, discussions about cheating are not allowed in the general forums.
