Meanwhile i noticed that i did already more than 1000 bullet games (1 or 2 minutes). Question is: Why store them ? It takes a lotta space (i guess...). And who wants to see them back ? That shall be a minority of players...
I can understand to store the normal online chess games (but also those games, not unlimited !!!).  Perhaps this is something ya can safe space and perhaps money ?!

They'll disappear in 90 days, unless you buy a premium membership.

If someone reports you cheating they have plenty of time to dig it up.

And since a terribyte is literally a trillion bytes, and one game's worth of PGN probably take up let say 50 bites, that's a few hundred billion games in relatively a little amount of space.  With hundreds of thousands of users making posts and playing games every day, I'm sure storage is about the least of their problem resources.

Chess games should be stored; for our heritage. Imagine a guy like Morphy not bothering to jot down his moves.

Hello orangehonda... Hmmm..., cheatin' you wrote... ? Hmmm..., how could i cheat in my 1 or 2 minute bulletgames ??? Tell me please !

In the normal online games it is possible to do, but, as ya all know: i like to loose there. Well, using "something"... in my opinion that is just for winning games and collecting points & ratings, isn't it ?!

You can use programs that automatically enter moves.  I don't know much about it  honestly, but people who are a little more handy with computers should be able to put something together themselves if not go out and download something that does the trick already.

People can cheat in 1/0 games easily, playing faster than 1second/move if they set the program that way.

Of course it's rare to run into, especially because chess.com monitors live chess and boots people.

Well orangehonda... i'm too lazy to search and use those programs. The question ya have to answer also than is: why are you playin' chess anyway if ya use those programs ? were is the fun ?!
