Someone I played recently, that I suspected of cheating, no longer has an account. I read the "cheating forum" and I wondered what the cheating icon looked like. Guess I'm just curious if was scammed.

 

Thanks folks.

Go to thier profile--it will say this account has been closed due to cheating.

 

For example--your most recent game with justplayforfun.

i presume it's justforfun you're talking about?  Look at your recently finished games in your online chess page and you will see an icon beside his/her name with a figurine and a red circle with a white line on it indicating forbidden/banned. 

http://www.chess.com/echess/profile/Justplayforfun you'll see the same icon on the piece abou them being banned for cheating

looks like he and this other person were throwing games against each other to inflate the rating...
