Which is sus. He should be banned for exploiting the system

I see he's played alot against @anthonychess69 which looks like a suspicious account, or even his alt (they play the same 1.d4 2.c3 as white and 1...g6 as black). @pawnprabu321 seems to also be involved in the rating manipulation. It's a shame, but I'm going to have to report him.

Both of those accounts have now been deleted, thankfully.

Bullet chess isn't really chess, because most sub-1500 players make random premoves in hopes of winning on time, which is pointless and an easy way to gain ELO, especially in 15-second games.

hiMyNameiSALEXFJ was also involved, and his account was closed as well.

He wasn't banned because of gaining a lot of elo against bullet players, but for manipulating different acounts that could be his alts.

He is a 10 sec, 15 sec, and 20 sec specialist. If he played standard 1 minute bullet or even hyperbullet, his rating would drop, as it has on past accounts.

He is not "exploiting" the system, he simply is one of the best hyperbullet players, and there's no reason he should be banned for that. He has demonstrated that against many top players.

Did not age well.

It aged perfectly fine.

But then he would have some title and be skilled

He's an ultrabullet specialist. He is decent at blitz as well and probably close to master strength.

Master titles are singlehandedly added to a player's account, and you can't get them by just reaching a certain ELO on chess.com. Titles are given by FIDE, and to get a title, you need OTB chess experience. Any title other than candidate master and national master requires tournament experience. Although he is probably good enough to beat some masters in bullet or blitz, he won't be able to get a title.

I wish he gets banned because I realized that he is cheating in 97% of his games!!!

Ban him

Everyone try to report him

I know, I later wrote how illogical for a 2000 rapid player to have a 1000 daily rating and a 3000 bullet rating, higher than magnus and hikaru. I stated that most 2000 rapid players have the potential to have a title such as the national master title, making it a bit suspicious when a user without a title gets very high elo. This was my statement

We know he was cheating because he had various alt users who would lose to him so he could gain elo. Accounts such as @hiMyNameiSALEXFJ, @anthonychess69, and @pawnprabu321. All of these accounts have fortunately been closed. They were likely his alts and were used to boost his rating
