I just played against a player who I beat quite easily the first game. He lost his queen, got mad, was trash talking, and stalled the game until I called him out on it. I eventually checkmated him.
We played another game, and something was off. Eventually, he played a move which I *thought* was sacrificing a piece, but in reality led to a forced checkmate many moves later. It was a very smart move, but it seemed way too smart considering the last game we played. I suspected he was cheating so I played another game with him, and was once again beaten quite easily.
Long story short, I did an analysis on each game and found very stark differences between the first game and the second two. The second two games were what you'd see playing against a high level bot (which I tested myself and found the advantage curves were extremely similar).
I'm 100% he was cheating, and I reported him for both games. But I'm not entirely confident that it will be taken into consideration as I'm fairly certain he was only cheating to get revenge for me taking his queen in the first game. How can I be certain that moderators will review my reports and punish the player accordingly?

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