Has anyone suspected an increase in cheating on this platform? I have multiple opponents ranked low to mid 700s with 85% accuracy.

I’m in the 600s on rapid and 800s on daily and I can sometimes get that high, though I’m usually closer to 65-75. I have played a couple people in the 400s lately that played with 90% accuracy and when I looked at their recent games they had gone from losing almost every match to having 10 game win streaks. I will note that the “accuracy” algorithm isn’t always great. I’ve had several moves counted as mistakes that were actually great moves that lead to a win. So I wouldn’t put too much faith in those numbers. Definitely report players if they are playing suspiciously above their rating!

Site accuracy is not a site cheat detection metric.
