Honestly guys, I don't know how it can be possible to play Live games with humans.. at least every second game I play is played by engine.. whats the point?.. guy with 1k points play like 2k making moves in 2-3sec.

I do really enjoy playing Online games, as they seem to be more or less fair ones. But Live is somethng shoking.. Or maybe it is just me so retared and hopeless..

Please tell your thoughts guys.

At your level I really doubt you are encountering that many engine users.

if you think one of your opponents has been cheating report it here---http://support.chess.com/Tickets/Submit/

but At your level you shouldn't come across many cheaters.

Having seen your online games, I can assure you that generally one does not need computer assistance to blunder his pieces (he can manage that perfectly fine himself), nor avoiding a lamely conducted Fool's Mate attempt.

Well, what level is safe then? Though, I noticed you have not a one live game played.. didnt bother?

I really want to hear from players with high live rank, preferably blitz(10min is my normal choice). Also this topic does refers to the cheating subject, but it is not the main reason why I started it. Just want some advice on how to play these kind of people. Apriciated for the comments.

The system takes care of cheaters, and it's quite easy to spot them in Live chess (quite harder in CC). Just report any game you suspect your opponent was not playing by himself.

that is the problem, prefen. Due to my inexperience and low rank I don't want accuse a player just because I think he might be using the engine. It is true, that in most cases, perhaps, my opponent is just stronger or has a better play.
