95% accuracy and above for players below 1800. How is that possible without an engine

There is less cheating I've found with Chess 960 on faster time controls with an increment. This way you know there is not enough time to set up the position and if you castle late, it's even harder to cheat. If they use up a lot of time and then all of a sudden they are making direct moves every few seconds, you know something is off. That said, a lot of cheating happens in the endgame. Chess is stress, if you don't want rating anxiety I'd suggest playing Casual mode.

I have looked at my game published earlier again.

Looking to the accuracy to determine if an opponent cheated is not reliable.

I think one has to look at the moves played versus those recommanded by the computer. In my game, somthing like 50 percent of my moves were not those the computer recommanded, what appears to be more convenient to my level.

Unfortunately, it confirms that I am not the next Magnus.

It's happened several times for me where i have an extremely high accuracy. it's a combination of luck and the opponent making moves with either obvious responses or they are so bad almost any response is accurate.

I am like 1000 and I get 70s-80s accuracy on a win. The only time I got 95% was during a short game where the mainline was played until the user left, the board was still completely even with no pawns won on either side.

Then how will get a message on my opponent's 10 th move as cheat detected. Yes is it possible to find all the engines top move in one game

I believe they can tell if the opponent is alt tabbing to an engine. That is likely the only way your getting a message on the 10th move as a game is being played. Usually its a statistical analysis and you only find out later with a vague message that an opponent was detected cheating and refunding some points. I might be conflating what chess.com does, since I dont get many cheaters here, since I mostly only play 960 and it seems its just too much of a PITA for people to cheat.

Chess.com is way better. They closes their account. Doesn't give a second chance

I find chess.com has a lot more cheaters, and their cheat detection isn't as good (they ignored a person that had gone from 200-300 in just one day, with 95%+ accuracy each game). But that might just be my own experience. Personally I think high accuracy could be cheating if the moves are moves that are extremely unnatural, or if they spend 10 seconds recapturing a queen after a queen trade where there's only one good move. But usually you should be able to report people you think are cheating and Lichess will investigate

I have played with a 100% accuracy. Played d4 and then my opponent quit (wonder why)

I've done 100% a few times and I'm a patzer , sometimes the game plays itself and best moves are obvious moves , it happens .
and i would never cheat ,cheaters are scum of the earth IMO

I dont think they are scum. They are usually just dumb kids or very stupid adults. They are just people who are really wanting a win. One bad act doesnt make you a scum to the earth
