1 high accuracy game; can you get banned?

i was thinking, can you get banned if you have one high accuracy game.

if the computer that looks over your game thinks your cheating regardless that you are or not are you just labeled as ¨cheater¨ and banned?

I think that not working like this

No, chess.com has a sophisticated system that only bans real cheaters.

sadly there is evidence against that

No, they don’t use chess.com’s accuracy system for cheating evaluations anyways haha

I’ve had plenty of decently high accuracy games, am I banned yet ?

he played ONE GAME

I've played lots of high accuracy games.

You get banned if there's a very solid statistical correlation between your moves and engine moves.

yeah but this dude played like a human and only played ONE GAME, why is he banned for fair play?

The 1% to 99% thing is something chess.com came up with called CAPS (no idea what it stands for).

Chess.com has said many times that CAPS is not part of their cheat detection.

And since even very low rated players can get "perfect" games (usually short games, or games where one side gives away all their pieces) it would be silly to ban people for high accuracy.

One lucky game won't get you banned.

I had one guy cheat against me in a daily game... so I chose lines that were as crazy and weird as possible... because if my opponent was playing engine moves in a crazy position I figured that'd get them banned...

And I was right, they were banned in less than 24 hours, and as far as I could tell I was the only person they cheated against, lol.

Good job to chess.com.

There may be other things that trigger a "fair play" closure like having two accounts play against each other, but maybe the game matched a specific cheating tool, or like I was saying, had a high matchup in a complex position.

Now if only they could catch all of the obvious cheaters so quickly

lol

You're blind.

Yeah... I think if he has multiple accounts (a violation that will get the accounts closed, but not for "Fair Play") and cheats with any one of them, they all get closed for "Fair Play".

AFAIK.

I'd honestly rather have people accidentally be banned then cheaters not get banned, and then add a process to get your account back online if you can prove you're not a cheater.

Conventional wisdom is that it's worse to punish an innocent person than let a guilty person go free.

In criminal justice there's the added harm of, if you convict the wrong person, you're simultaneously letting a criminal go free. That doesn't quite apply to online chess cheating, but anyway, false positives are bad for business.

will i get banned because of my 97% accuracy game i just had? (at 700 elo)

Correct.

One game doesn't provide enough data points for confidence.
