The cheating Forum

  Ok,.....then let me try and be polite.   If the OP actually finds members flying the American flag......and they are cheating?...... then they should be put in the "Stupid Americans" thread--https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/stupid-americans   unfortunately......that thread is locked.  which proves that the site has more Stupid Americans than they have capability of handling.

  Some members......Americans & otherwise.....don't know that they are actually cheating when they use an engine. People like that should be put in the...."Is Water Wet" thread.  https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/is-water-wet

Uh, the game didn't even finish before he resigned, so I don't really see your point here.

'Cuz he was completely winning'.

How's that?

   I don't trust the Admins in the group--"The Cheating Forum". It leaks too much intel. When they get Robert Mueller to run that group.....THEN I'll join, I trust him.                                         

You just make accusations without even knowing. the guy was losing to 800s and his TT was 500. but got to beat ppl up to 1700 in just 3 weeks. that was b4 my game. he kept on going with 99% excellent moves for another 4 weeks... when I contacted chesscom my last time and asked seriously you still didn't close his account that was at night. in the morning I checked his account again and it was closed. I was happy I thought maybe my last email did it. but in the afternoon some patzer who works for chesscom finally read my email and responded with some crap why they might have not closed his account cuz it takes time etc while it was already closed. in other words the patzers going thru the emails don't even bother doing some research to check over on what are we even talking about check the account check his history nothing just respond like you without any knowledge and move on....

   Well was your opponent sandbagging or using an engine?.......of course you would know because you've been here a whole 2 yrs. Or are you complaining that someone from Chess.com finally closed the account of a cheater......and then it took 24 yrs before "some patzer who works for Chess.com" finally responded to my e-mail.??  How did you rate the're response.......with the 3 smillie faces?     You DO know there's 100 people who work for Chess.com don't you?.......which begs the question......"Who was the PATZER that responded"?  I will start a thread.......I will interview ALL employees and get to the bottom of this even if it takes me all yr. If you saved the response ticket in your inbox......I can take fingerprints. From that, I will compare urine samples, and together......we will get this PATZER fired!!

Much better, next time provide evidence.

Hi: at least for me cheaters ar not a problem.  I don´t care, I just learn and even they force me to play better.  It´s like playing against a computer.  So...  I understand the point against cheaters.  The day they will play an official tournament, they won´t be able to cheat, that day they´ll be discovered easily.

The Cheating Discussion forum accepts anyone who's been here longer than 30 days (I think) - this is one of their measures aimed at preventing return cheaters from joining up to figure out how they may have been caught. You don't have to provide a good reason or any reason, really - the admins will usually allow you in as soon as they see your request.

They do not assume people are guilty, hence the rule against "naming and shaming". You can present cases, though, and ask for their opinion on whether engine use is involved. That assumption of guilt is one of the main reasons Chess.com doesn't allow these sort of discussions in the public forums.

Reporting suspected cheating is the correct action that helps Chess.com the most - and to see how seriously Chess.com takes it, here's a very recent discussion from them about their Fair Play philosophy and teams:

I have locked this thread.
