Title is pretty self-explanatory. Can currently be seen in my rapid game history—my only recent loss was to a confirmed cheater.

I know it doesn’t matter but I was having fun tracking that.

Do you guys know if there’s any possible way to have that corrected?

Perhaps one day you will get points back

A) who want's to bet he's not from India...

B) who want's to bet he over on LiChess doing what he did here... right now!

C) In a month or two... when he get's caught over on lichess, he returns to do it all over again.

@MrChatty yeah I got the usual ‘We’ve detected a recent opponent cheated here’s your points back’ message and a refund, but I’d have to win another 13 games in a row for my streak back.

Which let’s face it… never gonna happen

Oh so you mean the winning streak! Well, I'm sorry, but that won't ever get refunded….

Never seen games removed from anyone's game history

It’s amazing that he was even caught.So many are not but it’s my erroneous perception.

RIP to the streak, diarrhea to the cheater, strength to the OP

Call me old fashioned but I really don’t understand the point in cheating in online chess? It’s not like it gets you a norm or anything—Has chess.com rating really become a status symbol in the youth? Do they sell high ranked accounts like WoW back in the day?

I lost access to my OG account (hence the new one) but I am from the days pre-Covid and Queens Gambit—😂😂back when Agadmator was the only chess content on YouTube—and even mentioning chess in conversation provoked a novel curiosity at best.

I guess it is cool that kids these days have an inkling for the game, but at what cost to the meta?

I just figure anyone too lazy to put up a pfp is a cheater.

#10 not true. Some people (quite a lot) prefer to not use a profile picture.

There's no mechanism to reinstate a streak.

That said, discussions about cheating, potential cheating, or cheat detection are not allowed in the general forums
