Yes, might be a good idea to ask your Internet Provider for help. If you have a static IP address, they can give you a new one. If it is dynamic, it will change by itself. Also, be sure that your windows firewall is turned on (if you have windows) and that you have anti virus protection on your device.
Did you click on any links in email or chess.com messages from this person? Are you communicating via email with him?
Most email systems allow you to block.

Maybe ask your Apple store about firewall and anti virus for iPad? Try not to freak out and take a deep breath.
I don't think that something like that has anything to do with chess.com.
It can happen to anybody using internet access, chatting etc.
Just a creepy individual stalking, or pretending to.
Not much to do about it, unfortunately.
He/she seem to get your info wrong, though: you're not using windows 7 pc but IPad.
Maybe just a sorry "jocker".
Well, maybe his account has been closed just for this reason.
You have to know that your pc/tablet can be hacked at any time, and hope it does not happen.
Good for him, don't let things like that ruin your sleep and fun.
What's your Ip address? I'll check and see if that's what I have on my end.
All that bragging makes me think in a mere clown, señorita.
Ron just traced your IP address, you are near Springfield. In a town which is known as being the home of volleyball (I won't give the exact town on here for privacy reasons)
Am I right? Or no?
I'm in Holyoke Mass. Just outside of Springfield. The armpit of Massachusettes

Not usually when it isn't connected to the internet.

wow.....that system seems to work well. Or are you winding me up?
To the OP, there's a lot of info here; https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=How+to+look+someone+up+on+the+intenet A proxy server can hide your IP address.
So if the person who did this to me closed his account. Can chess.com still help me?
You can ask them for help or just report that account, but I don't think they care about closed accounts, I think they care only about active accounts.
I repeat my suggestion about getting help from your Internet Provider (the telephone company which you pay to get Internet access).
