if you think that there is no hacker slick enough to get your IP from playing a game of internet chess, then you Mr. Psychologist, you are the crazy one. I can think of household name CEOs of tech companies that could likely do it with one finger tied behind their back. For a good hacker with his favorite toolkit, it would likely only take a few seconds to get it.

No one is saying it is impossible, just that in order to get your IP they gave to hack the server process because that is the only way to get your IP. If they have hacked the server process, they wouldn't be winning a few games here and there, they would be doing something more worthwhile with that access.
Add to that, if you check the archives of anyone you think are doing it, you'll quickly see they are not winning any more games due to their opponents being disconnected than any other member with a sufficient number of games to get a statistically significant number of disconnect wins.
Yeah, but Jeff Bezos doesn't need the money, he just wants to troll noobs in chess. He obviously hacked the server and ran the statistics. He keeps his wins due to mate, disconnect, and resignation within the normal expected parameters.
In fact he cheats with an engine to manipulate the win by checkmate and resignation. Bezos also hacks the other player's computer to keep the mate and resignation percentages in balance.
All while maintaining a 1000 rating.
Plus, since the OP's complaint is common, it just proves that Bezos is doing this with, likely, thousand of accounts simultaneously.
Didn't consider that did you Mr "Occam's Razor Has Something To Say"
After considering the fact that this is a conspiracy on a global scale you don't think the OP is a myopic fool whose (poor) logic is a slave to their psychology now do you?
