Whoa buddy, don't assume these sorts of things and start shouting them over the forum, especially for Live Chess! We know that Live Chess is still extremely buggy, how can you say it wasn't just a Live glitch?

If anyone should be reported it is you. It is completely out of order to make this outrageous and unjustified accusation in public. How do you know that "he" managed to freeze the screen. Do you not know that there are some technical issues with live chess? Your problems may have nothing to do with Duchamo.
If you have these thoughts about Duchami then the correct thing to do is to report him privately to the administrators. They will investigate and if they find that someone is consistently winning in this situation, for example, they would take action. But it is wrong for you to make these unproven allegations in public. In my opinion.

Can we report him? Can I get back my points?
Dont accuse unless you have proof!
If you had bothered to read the live chess disclaimer it states that its in beta test mode, and things will happen like disconnects.
Do you play chess for the enjoyment or for points? You see more concerned with accusations and getting lost points back.
How'd you know about the tinfoil hat trick?

Have a look at the game. Judge for yourself. Why would I resign when I mate in sight? Is there someway that points can be reinstated? Does thge moderator check on things like this?
To answer CPawn. I play for enjoyment or for points. Don't you? What's the use of playing at a server when hackers can win games in the 'LIVE' section? Previously, I faced the same problem with Yahoo Chess.
I play for enjoyment or for pointsbut cheating is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

I play because i enjoy the game. Points dont define who i am and they certainly dont make me a better person because my rating goes up just like it doesnt make me a worse person when my rating goes down.
Sounds to me like you play not for the enjoyment or what chess brings, but because it in someway validates who you are.
I very well could be wrong and hopefully i am. Just my opinion.
As Bruce Lee said when asked what belt he was.
"Belts serve one purpose...to hold my pants up"

PLEASE READ! DO NOT USE LIVE CHESS unless you understand that it is still a work-in-progress. You MAY be disconnected randomly. You MAY experience lag. You WILL be disappointed if you expect anything else. For the BEST EXPERIENCE on Live Chess we recommend that you use Firefox 3, Safari 3, or Chrome. Internet Explorer browser does not perform well in Live Chess. Seriously, try 
!
We are working really hard on making Live Chess as fast, stable, and amazing as possible. In the mean time, please be patient - thanks!
So, if Duchamo (1491) is not a cheat, then I am sorry for accusing him of being such!!! But then, this server is not really ready to GO LIVE. We're still in the testing mode.):
On the question of Cheating and the love of the game.
Dear CPawn,
"If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of" - Bruce Lee.
Unfortunately we have wasted time here arguing. I love Chess and all that it brings with it, the scientific, the artistic and the sporting aspects. It is these 3 ingredients that make Chess a GREAT game. So, though some may play for just the fun of it all, there is the sporting aspect that cannot be ignored. If there was no sporting aspect in Chess, then please remove the ratings. When there is no ratings, then there exists not many goals to aim for."A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at." - yes, Bruce Lee again.
A grave injustice has been done if Cheating can take place here. And it is not alright.

Anytime you involve people there is going to be cheating.
I just got cheated again!!! I should not play in LIVE CHESS anymore. Just Online Chess is better. Best regards and keep enjoying Chess my friend!
Live chess 2.0 should be coming out soon. No more disconnects!
Those damned hackers. What do you suppose they do with all of the points they hoard? I suspect they trade them on the black market for food stamps.

There's a group for talking about this: Cheating Forum
Though I highly doubt he booted you out. You were most likely Disconnected; it happens to sooo many of us.
I WISH YOU WOULD SHUT UP MAVERICK. You suck at life, it is that simple. You should try playing someone who ISNT 200 rating points below you, then perhaps you wouldnt lose so many points. I mean you will still lose points, but if you havent noticed if someone IS going to cheat, there is nothing YOU can do about it. BUT if you're THAT concerned about it, then perhaps you should just quit playing chess altogether. I like that idea.....
