Is there a way? I'm not 100% sure but I would like to at least have them checked against computer analysis to see. I would be surprised if this person was not cheating.

@rdecredico says: "Realize that the web is full of people that are cheating."

Of course they are.

and "Adjust accordingly, accept this reality, and get over it."

Adjust, yes, accept reality, yes, get over it yes. But, report them, do something about it. Make it more difficult for them. Don't accept their presence without creating problems for them as they create problems for us.

and "Elsewise, you will be chasing ghosts forever."

In cases where cheating is highly suspected it's your duty to report it and and let Chess.com worry about it. Then you move on.

Thanks xlote, I agree with what you said. This is the first person I have ever reported for cheating. But I am not going to just ignore it, there may be hundreds of cheaters, but if I can make that number one less, then good.

              Dog, some day your gonna have to teach me where you get those links. Not now, I'm too busy arguing about war with BigPoison. Arrakis09 is gonna show me how to send links sometime.

There are hundreds of cheats on the site Psycho, and chess.com do at times allow the cheats back. Something which lots of us are un-happy about, but the powers that be do as they see fit.

                  Its like trying to ban all automobiles because some people have accidents. You can't hold GM responsible, or Smith & Wesson responsible because chess players get angry when they lose. I'll never defend cheating.

Avatar of PsYcHo_ChEsS

Yeah that is unfortunate SQ. I think once they are caught they should be banned for life.

Avatar of SafariQueen

Me too, once a cheat always a cheat.

I remember they let Chinchin back, he was a very nice person, always willing to play, but he again cheated and again was banned. Somehow they just can't stay away from the site.

Unfortunately, after spending some time filling out the contact form, the 'send' button won't work. So I can forget reporting someone for cheating.

WOW! I followed the link above about what you need to know about cheaters. There was a link to everyone who has been kicked for cheating.

There were 15 names in just the last 5 hours and 2 in the last hour.

That's alot of cheaters.

Also, for Chess.com support.

In the article there was the question 'Why do people cheat?'

One useful reason to know is that some people cheat, not so they can win, because they want others to lose.

Sounds strange, but I've seen this type of behavior when I worked in a group home for troubled teenagers. I had one kid who once was willing to accept a punishment just so someone else would be punished as well.
