Background: I used to cheat in games with the account @0-MG, and it's very obvious from the games. After a while, my account got banned, but I got a second chance. I have to say, I cheated a bit after I started playing in my new account, in a few moves in some daily games and in one rapid game, probably because of temptation. For the daily games, it was blunder-checking, which I don't do anymore. The rapid game that I cheated in was played against my friend; I cheated for 1-2 moves. It was very dumb. I rematched immediately. Feeling guilty with negative thoughts about cheating, I obviously played terribly. I apologized to him, even cried, and tried to send a message to the moderators (I couldn't find a way to do that). The few days after that incident of the cheated rapid game, I felt like I couldn't play chess anymore. Even till now, although I mostly recovered, in almost every rapid game, I still get these annoying thoughts, and that makes me really nervous/anxious from the distraction of thoughts. (My "logic" is that the moderators might find out that I played better than usual on that one rapid game. But, I don't know why the daily games don't cause these negative thoughts too, maybe because there is no time pressure?) I searched Google about this, but there were no relevant results. The results were just about people making fun of cheaters (yes, I agree, cheating is really, really dumb. I made fun of my own previous games too.) So, I decided to get this condition over with by writing this. But first, really important, I have to say this:
I don't cheat anymore, in case it wasn't clear. There are much fewer and smaller temptations to cheat since I already got banned once, and because of the rapid game incident.
Please help me overcome the negative thoughts. (If you are a former cheater, do you get this too?) I am turning here for help, dear chess.com community. I can't hold this anymore. Do I get banned? Do I get a third chance or anything?I really, really love chess; it is my favorite thing; I have dreams of this; it's the only game I play online every day. Chess is even my only 'hobby'. One night, long after the incident,I fell asleep as late as MIDNIGHT (actually past 00:00), just worrying about me getting banned the next day from cheating.
In the game I played today, after I hung a rook, I started getting the thoughts and then blundered a fork that I saw/calculated during the game (Yes, I knew/calculated if I had played Ra1, there would be a fork. But still, I played it.)
SIDENOTE: I felt like when I started writing this, I can't stop giving more and more "venting", as they call it.
Now I finish writing, at least for now. Thank you everyone for reading this.I hope you all never cheat.
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING.
