His win streak is now over 60 games. He even had a 100% accuracy game. I'm so very happy for him
Recommend lessons to help me be like this guy

If you think he's cheating, report, block and ignore. This passive-aggressive stuff is not really that clever.

@David After a couple weeks of reporting him, he was finally closed for cheating, bringing his win streak to a close at 64 games. The closure came almost immediately after my second post here. Clever wasn't what I was going for. I pay for a membership and a gift membership, and reaching out for support through the normal channels no longer works like it did before since the staffing cuts in June. I've had issues with support response over the past few months for a variety of topics and wanted to give the feedback forum a shot. With multiple simultaneous Daily games against the same opponent, ignoring isn't really a viable option when the games/tournaments stretch on for weeks. It was not my intent to offend you, but rather am trying to find a way to provide feedback for a process that is not working as advertised. The reports are reviewed daily but egregious cases are unresolved weeks later, something needs to be flagged to someone at support to get the process back on track.

See, you should have said that in the first place as proper feedback that could be taken seriously rather than the stuff you actually led with.
We'll never know if your second post was the actual trigger for a closer review of the person's games or if it was just coincidence, but the automated systems have gotten pretty good at identifying cheaters and closing their accounts without requiring human review. It would be interesting to see how obvious this was - you can't post in the public forums, but you can post in the Cheating discussion club's forum at https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum
I study a lot and do well enough most of the time, but I will join daily tournaments for players with my same elo only to get destroyed by the whole group. I'm clearly lagging behind if I can't win 54 games in a row and can't regularly play 98% accuracy, mistake free chess games against my own elo. Maybe chess.com could recommend lessons for those who want to be able to compete with these machine-like, magnificent players?
