Thinking do quiting day chess
Sort:
The rampant cheating is getting to me. I don’t know how I can be playing 1100 and 1200 that never make a blunder. Rate upper 80 to 90 games. Very frustrating.

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
It should also be noted that Game Review accuracy is not a cheat detection tool
