Cheaters

Hi all

Sadly I've came across a few players who are obviously using some sort of chess engine to calculate their moves. I was wondering if there was any way to report these "players" to some higher authority. I know you can block players but this still leaves them free to ruin other people's games. Any help will be appreciated:)

I hate to say this, but at your rating, you're probably not facing any cheaters...

With a rating of less than 1200, you just simply aren't playing against cheaters, unless you are playing players MUCH higher than your rating (like, almost double your rating). If you are playing players that much higher rated than you, then I'd say don't worry about it, they still probably aren't cheating, and if they are, the staff here will catch 'em.

That was what was concerning me was the opposition was of a similar rating to me, if I had been playing Kasparov and got my ass handed to me in seconds I wouldn't think of fowl play but of someone of similar rating. It felt like I was playing a computer, I'm not so experienced but I can tell the difference

If someone is at a similar level to you, and they are cheating, they are a BAD cheater. Sometimes even bad players have moments of brilliance. I'm sure they weren't cheating.
