wtf is this guy legit?

when his account is new, he challenges me to a game, which is the only one he has on there... look at the attack.  no blunders at all?  is he legit or is this one of my friends playing a joke on me

Well, first of all you shouldn't be posting the name of someone you're accusing of cheating in an open, public forum like this. Beyond that, someone who's playing their first game is liable to be the best guy on the site - you can't know how good he is at all. If he really is Dmitry Jakovenko, as he's put his name as, you might want to look him up on the FIDE ratings list. It's far more likely that it isn't Mr. Jakovenko, but looking at the game, there's nothing to suggest that he isn't human

It's illegal to use logic on the Internet wanderingwinder.

im not saying hes definitely cheating, thats why i wanted other peoples opinions.  how are you supposed to determine if someone is legit or not?

Its one game you lost...and you accuse someone of cheating?  You are missing the whole idead behind chess.

Dang it! Why do I keep forgetting that?

@OP, there's a whole cheating forum. At your rating level however, for a one sentence answer, it'll come up so rarely, just don't worry about it.

he's missing the WHOLE idea?  the WHOLE idea?  haha

I think White's attack is pretty thematic, actually... many of those moves play themselves, if you know what I mean

This thread is the precise reason why people shouldn't name names. I mean seriously, I might as well say you're a cheater, ilikeflags. It's completely unfounded. As for why I would advise this "don't worry about it" attitude for the OP is that he won't be able to tell whether someone has cheated or not. If you can't tell whether it's going on or not, you can't do anything about it; if you can't do anything about it, it's better not to worry about it.

if you saw me play you'd know right off the bat i'm anything but a cheater.  i suck balls.  challenge me you'll quickly see that if' i'm cheating i'm using a highly mistake prone computer.

and i think--if you can't figure out if someone is cheating but you're feeling like they are and you analyzed the game and they're dead on with fritz or at least close to it...  then see what people think, put it in a thread.  god knows we start threads about ANYTHING around here.  what's one more gonna hurt? and if you're really that worried about naming names, i'll throw you a bone.  don't name names.  i can roll with that.  but this idea that people should just forget about it cuz it doesn't happen enough for it to matter is absurd to me.

Well. I don't know about that. If claiming to be a GM or such, I'd say I thought his play less than fully masterful. ( and if not for that fact, wonder why he would play non-masters, really. Unless he is writing a book or something, in a style ala Silman.) Of course, it may be a bad day. And its probably not as bad as I would play on a bad day

On the otherhand, You committed a Fundamental Error and castled right into his space advantage/becomes attack. (and I say this more nicely than Silman would, be assured :) Which was the only place on the board he might threaten you, and only if your K is there. On move 16, I like Black any day. Just play Bd7 and o-o-o. (Have you not seen Najdorfs like that? If not, this is your lucky day chessfriend. Take a look at some. You can even o-o-o after ...b5 is played. Well GM's can anyway. But; They're wonderful. You delayed o-o for a reason, right? ) Then you have the basic plan, when threatened on a wing, strike in the center too.

Well you're not supposed to post names, it's against site policy.

Looking at this game, it didn't look to me that white was a superior player. I thought that, in general, when white sets up this Qd2-Be3 setup, that white will avoid like the plague a Nc4 by black exchanging off the Be3. And in this game, white loses both bishops to both black knights.

Also, after f6, black just cannot play gxf6. I'm not a silician player, I haven't looked at it in depth - but hey these are the chess.com forums, right? I'm not expected to give a full annotation. :-)

why not ? I was enjoying reading your post ozzie.

There is no cheats in chess only mistakes >.>

There's nothing to suggest that he is cheating, and if you feel that someone has cheated, you report him to the site admins, you don't create a thread about it on the forum. The site management has better ways of detecting cheats than most forum posters.
