Cheaters

I'm seriously thinking about quitting this website; cheaters never get punished. It looks like chess.com doesn’t have a good cheater detector. "People" that have the same elo as me and somehow dominate the game completely, always finding that super difficult move to see in critical positions... Like, if you’re so good that you can play amazing for 40 or 50 moves, why are you 1800? When I report these players, nothing happens. Maybe someone will accuse me of having a "skill issue," but seriously, it is pretty clear the difference between a good 1800 and a cheater.

The site thajed cheating seriously and closed over 70,000 accounts in July.

That said, discussions of cheating, potential cheating, or cheat detection are not allowed in the general forums. If you would like to discuss, join the following club. https://www.chess.com/club/cheating-forum

I looked at a number of your recent losses. I see blunders you made deciding the game-- not hard to find moves.

You have made great progress in the last year. Don't be discouraged by a few real losses.
