My opponent cheated (top engine moves vs top chat game)

... and I won (but not on the board)

Here's an edition of "guess the cheat". Users like these could be slowing your ladder climbs. However, thanks to my chat game, I actually forced my cheating opponent to unwillingly declare themselves as the loser of the game despite grabbing the elo points.

My 10min rapid rating: 1300 chesscom and 1650 on lichess.

I already strongly suspected he was cheating during the game itself, but the game analysis fully confirmed it. I've reported him for cheating, and im not sharing usernames, this is simply a case study in how a cheater will talk about how innocent they are, while they are grabbing top engine moves... Its quite comical, when I see the idea his engine was going for, but he doesnt see it, or doesnt play it in order to look more like a human who doesnt always play the top 1 move 😆

Yes Btw! You guessed it, the cheat is my opponent (White)

Here is the chat: First message i posted at start of game (I post it start of every game, for obvious reasons), and only started writing the rest when it was obvious (to me) that he was an assisted player. He just took too much time on easily convertible position after playing like Magnus Carlsen for a bunch of moves.

  1. Me: If anyone cheats in any way, they declare themselves the loser, regardless of the result. Every dishonest move is an admission of inadequacy
  2. Me: come on babe, that's easy dont ask the engine
  3. Him: Since they can't do it, they're just pooping lol.
  4. Me: ;)
  5. Me:  I already gave the terms under which we are playing
  6. Me: you so good, you missed the rook takes pawn with my bishop pinned, u shoulda kept following the engine, cause now your play makes no sense
  7. Him: Yeah, do it quickly. Either give up or give up.
  8. Me: your engine set it up, for you to miss the idea
  9. Him: Yes, thanks for the compliment.
  10. Me: its not a compliment xD you missed it
  11. Me: I wanna see the human conversion
  12. Him: Do you play games through chat?
  13. Me: that will be spicy
  14. Me: come on you are so good, you cant premove the win ? ;) 200 elo
  15. Me: think more
  16. Me: congrats
  17. Me: just remember the rules under which you played this game:
  18. Me: If anyone cheats in any way, they declare themselves the loser, regardless of the result. Every dishonest move is an admission of inadequacy

Final result: 1 declaration of being the loser from White and between 38 to 43 admissions of inadequacy.

I like it.

Bring me another one.

Star Wars: Jar Jar is a Sith so powerful...

... with the force that he literally replaced the last 3 actual Star Wars movies that reveal him as the supreme Sith, with some Disney slop designed to fool everyone.

Jar Jar is actively pulling the wool over our eyes, using his dark side force abilities, to make everyone believe that darth Jar Jar is not actual canon.

This way, he can proceed working from the shadows.

Meesa say… somehow, Palpatine returned.

Major problems with accepting last 3 movies as canon, because they do not appear to be from the same universe as the first 6 movies.

Improve your chat game

Take control back against cheaters. This is how you make sure the cheater doesn't get full satisfaction from his fake win, after realising you are aware that he is a weak player using assistance.

The whole allure to cheating, is to roleplay as someone better, to make your opponent believe you are simply THAT good. Using strong anti cheat chat gsme completely shatters the roleplay they are going for, it ruins their immersion as a "great player".

I love winning against cheaters like that. Its more satisfying than seeing +8 on my screen.

Mother duck has some explaining to do...

...when Khelos pops out of one of her eggs.

Father duck looks at her like "Babe?" And she just gives him a nervous smile and acts all confused 😆

He was always suspicious due to the size of the egg, but now his suspicions got confirmed...

Please remove or speed up useless game animations

I am already playing with lag, and then I lose a game to a braindead paladin copy paste deck, because I have to wait out insane number of animations and am unable to get my final torch to destroy his OP minion on time, due to large number of minions with deathrattle animations dying.

I am waiting entire rope for my Shellnado to finish, constant deathrattle BS triggers and slows down, and I am unable to get my 2nd torch shot, because it doesnt appear instantly in my hand, I have to wait out every animation first, and by then the damn rope is finished and I lose the game, because there is a minion that must be destroyed remaining.

The rope adds extra lag too... PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD REMOVE THESE USELESS ANIMATIONS. The game is getting way too heavy. Have an option to cut animations and play the damn game. Or at least give an option to play on lower quality, to reduce lag.

Opponents using lower rated bots to cheat undetected

I am black in both games and won both on time.

Yes, of course they are not playing top engine moves. But I can identify bot play when I see it. Also the time management gives them away. These are my last 2 rapid games on chess.com (10min) both of them against cheaters.

I won both games on time, because the cheaters who are crushing me are apparently unable to make fast moves when they get low on time, I wonder why that would be. They will take time to make the suggested moves even when they have 10 seconds left, because they are probably 200 elo in reality.

The first game shown, I played entirely presupposing he is using an engine, and played so defensively in order to prolong the game and get the flag win, knowing there is no point to try attacks against a robot. It worked. The guy kept a steady slow pace as he ran out of time, in order to follow the engine instructions.

Chesscom is full of these specimens, and this is why climbing the ladder is harder than ever. You are playing against bots, people, and bots even at lower level do significantly less blunders and don't allow you to play normal chess. Also you need to use different strategy against bots, so when they pretend they are human, it makes it much harder to beat the bot.
