Lost to cheaters

Over the past hour, I played games where almost all of them were cheaters (check my losing streak). There weren't so many cheaters before, so what happened??
1) all of your opponents mades almost as many mistake and blunders as you. So I have a strong doubt about the cheating.

2) it's normal to have a losing streak and it have nothing to do with cheat

3) you're in the wrong forum thread, if you want to talk about your chess journey, it's better to post it in general chess discussion instead of Off topic.

And if you have a doubt about an opponent, use the report, not the forum.

Best regards
1.That doesn't mean they played fair.
2.This is an abnormal series of loses.
3. I'm not writing about myself, but about cheating, which has a huge reach. My topic was deleted from General chess discussion.
No one will ban them if I send a report to them.

There are some clues that should alert you during the analysis : perfect precision and 0 blunder and mistake on a bullet game of 50- 60 moves and where you have not lost a piece early is quite doubtful.

> 2.This is an abnormal series of loses.

A streak of 9 lost games is pretty normal in bullet, my own record is of 19 loses in a streak and I know some people who have reached 20-25. It depend of several factors but not on cheat.

> No one will ban them if I send a report to them.

If you think there is no ban, it mean : or the report will take more time to be treated or there was not enought proof in the report (you should include 1 or several games and describe as precisely you can), or the report was treated but opponent didn't cheat so there is no reason to ban
The fact is that the cheaters will not disappear anywhere, I will have a constant series of loses. I know that.

I literally have never felt like I lost to a "cheater" on Lichess.

I play blitz. Encountering a cheater at blitz seems pretty unlikely.

If I felt cheated, I would ask Lichess's game evaluation to check the game (I do this all the time),to see if my opponent REALLY played like a computer.

The evaluation will very likely show that the opponent DID NOT remotely play like a computer.

If they didn't, then -- just what was the supposed "cheating" ?

It's not a big deal to lose. We all lose. It doesn't mean we've been cheated, typically.

What does this have to do with cheating at online chess?
