I am not saying this was a computer assisted player...

For someone allegedly rated like me, this seems a bit suspicious, especially the pre-moves.
I am not accusing my opponent, but I have never seen such play by an opponent supposedly rated like me!

The fact I gained 1 rating even after losing makes me suspicious

In fact,you did not actually lose.You got stalemated.King is not in check,and no legal moves are possible,so the game is declared as a draw.

the rider did not play your best game

@TheRider Your opponent made lots of mistakes, you are fine. But you played well!

Thank you guys!

Why have you down-voted my posts? I made sure to make it clear I was not sure I had been cheated, I am a very poor player.
I am happy to accept I was out-played. :(

Please refrain from talking about people cheating as it is not nice to them. You may say it indirectly but in the end you called your opponent a potential cheater so I think the downvotes are justified.

If you really are confident that someone is cheating (which one should not be based on a game like this), report the player directly to Lichess, this would still not belong on the forum.

I think a computer would have been able to avoid the stalemate.

That guy is probably kicking himself!

So what is the point of a sub-forum to analyse games? I stated I was not sure I had been cheated, and simply posted for some advice from advanced players.
Give your subjective opinion with analysis by all means, but simply down-voting without contributing anything constructive is not helping anyone :(
