Reporting Cheaters • page 2/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

@petri999 Yes, at my level I make a lot of mistakes, which indeed makes me wonder when my opponents (same level) don't make any. Not sure what you mean by «And as it happens : it is easier to opponents mistake than ones own».

Ok, so 0 blunder/0 mistake/0 inaccuracy does not prove cheating: which is one of my questions, what do we need to prove cheating so I stop wasting everyone's time?

Yes, I had another account where notices were sent to me telling me that points were returned to me (from other players reporting, not me): no private messages. I haven't had points returned in maybe 2 years, maybe Lichess doesn't bother with cheaters anymore?

@cashcow8 Then I shouldn't have played that opponent because I only play by instinct, and from what you're telling me, that opponent knew exactly what they were doing. Anyway, thank you, I'll stop assuming that someone with 0 inaccuracy, 0 mistake, and 0 blunder is cheating.

No, you just need to work on improving your game.

I found one of your opponents was banned and they didn't have 0 inaccuracies against you. Maybe they cheated in other games.
Or maybe they used assistance but not on every move.

After 1 e4 e5, the most common move is 2 Nf3. There are alternatives like the Vienna game (2 Nc3) as well as Kings Gambit (2 f4) but 2 d4 is probably not the best thing to try at your level.

After Nf3 the most common response is Nc6 after which Bb5 (Ruy Lopez) or Bc4 (Italian / Giuoco Piano) are popular. Study some of them in the analysis or studies. Look at some games where they were played. Play them at slower time controls. And don't worry too much about cheating ,you won't encounter much at your level.

@HadesThirteen has closed his account.

Instead of using this wonderful free site to impove his chess, which isn't very strong, he just seems convinced his opponents are cheating to beat him. Statistics can be misleading.

That means I can't dig out the game now that I found that he lost and where I suggested it was not proven that his opponent had used assistance and had simply come up against a very poor opening.
