The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean
If you report someone and they don't get closed after a few days then either
- There's insufficient evidence of cheating
- There's no evidence of cheating

Hello all,
I have the feeling I played against a cheater, I reported him but nothing has happened to his profile.
Given I am very new in Chess.com, I would like to drop here a few stats (which in my humble opinion are absurd) and seek you opinion whether you think he is cheating and, if so, why nobody is doing anything to his profile.
this profile joined Chess.com on 30th November 2024 (two months ago).
From his initial rating of 629 elo assigned by Chess.com he dropped to 270 elo in one month (1st Jan 2025). There after, in the month of January he went up and down 270 elo and 330 elo.
Then suddenly the magic happen, from Jan 31st to February 8th (one week) he climbed from 330 elo to 1450 elo (rapid). In that week in which he suddenly became a very decent player he lost only 6 games and won 220 games. A win rate of basically 97%. His accuracy is also shocking, he plays all games with an accuracy of 90%-99%.
Now, to me this sounds very suspicious but I would like to hear what more expert players think about this.
