“It's no wonder why people call chesscom cheatcom“

maybe, but it s hard to prove. maybe 1300 on chesscom are as strong as 1900- 2000 here? does someone know how it compare?

I've read somewhere that Lichess rating is much higher than chesscom ratings

When a player with a 1700+ rating refuses a draw and keeps playing ( with no time control issues ) a book draw such as king and pawn on the A or H file against your king ( which is in position) ?

if you play here a lot,you kind of know how what rating plays.i can tell the difference between a 1900 player and 2400 player.if the 1900 is playing stronger than 2400 player i get suspicious.i can play head to head against an FM,although i will usually lose he will have to work.but if a 2000 player totally wipes me out in a way an FM wouldnt be able to do i get suspicious.An 2000 player can always beat me.But in majority an 2000 player wont be able to outplay the crap out of me.he will usually win with unexpected blunders of mine.But honestly i still cant tell if the guy is cheating or not after all those years of playing
I don't know.

I've played tournaments in person where people 200 pts under me have just decimated me from the beginning, and I've beat people 400 pts over me handily. Not on average of course, but people do play wildly outside their rating sometimes.

Sometimes I'll play crap chess inebriated for a month and my rating drops to like 1600, but I'm still a 2000-2200 player underneath that, when I come back sober I'll play way beyond my rating. So you never know really.

Please name and shame.

Glad you asked! I personally think that Ding Liren uses advanced belly button technology even stronger than stockfish 16 to illegally win chess tournaments.
