Lots of cheating between 800-1300

I started at 1200 and I’ve lost 6 out of 10 games already. Some of those I resign after I blunder something but all of these people play near perfect games.
I think im getting literal streaks of games against people using an engine. You cannot tell me that an 885 ELO knows how to defend a 2 rooks vs R+B+p endgame to 100% accuracy. Or that a 900 ELO player can find the “only move” for over 6 moves in a row in a dead lost position.

I wonder how much chess.com’s fair play team gets paid to sit around and do nothing. I’ve reported everyone and they don’t want to do their job. Yikes.

Discussion of cheating generally isn't allowed, this will get locked soon. However, I disagree, its much better for Fair Play to be very sure when banning someone after tracking for a while then to ban after one or two good games. This means they have to deal with less angry complaints.

Also 100%ish accuracy in a rook endgame is TOTALLY POSSIBLE. The way accuracy works is if you play the best moves, you get 100% accuracy. However, say its a dead draw game, epically with rooks/bishops. A lot of moves may be "best moves" because it's zeros anyway. I've hit 99.4% accuracy before (once), and its accuracy alone does not = cheating

Only moves are also weirdly calculated, but please show the games before we can make any assumptions. I have quite a few accounts for different challenges (I.E, blindfolded, on a nokia, etc), in 800-1350 rating range and it seems fine.

Accuracy calculation is also strange, when you're up enough material, basically 90% of your moves are now "great" moves, because as long as you don't bllunder anything, technically, every move is completely winning, I've had hundreds of games where opponent blunders something in opening, and I reap a easy 90+% acc game. As the saying goes "Bad positions cause bad moves", and you can see what I'm saying here.

conclusion: skill issue. low ELO kramnik spotted

Exactly my feeling. I've been sitting at 1400 rating for couple of months. 2 days I ago I returned absolutely tired from night shift and lost many games, dropped to 1300. And suddenly these 1300-1200 I play now not only win they totally demolish me with top insane accuracy, master level gameplay, unbelievable speed as they are blitzing through the entire game and we are basically playing on my clock only. 3-4 great moves on average per game, no blunders, no misses, absolutely perfect games.
