Alireza Firouzja's Chess.com account was temporarily closed due to an automated system initially flagging him as a potential cheater due to his rapid rise in rating as an untitled player. The system likely interpreted his success as improbable for someone without a title and automatically flagged the account. However, after manual review, his account was reinstated. It's also possible that other users, including grandmasters, reported his account for suspected cheating, which contributed to the initial closure
