Anybody else get a "feeling" about people who cheat ?

Yes ,one game on its own is certainly not enough to judge, I can only say that I had that "feeling" so I checked out the game, and as it was a 0-0-0 and more than 30 moves, I think I was right to report him.
Lichess agreed :)

If his name had been "This is Magnus..really !!"

I might not have bothered :)
Yes, here is another "Magnus Game"



Honestly apologists for cheaters lol , whats next :(

"- At move 5 white gives him a free bishop and he doesn't take it."

Exactly that move five by him is a blunder. Just that it almost saves white it doesnt quite save him. And then white blunders again. Blundering cannot take as evidence of cheating

I think you didn't understand what I'm talking about. In the game I posted it's the cheater playing as black *without an engine*. that's his real skills, he didn't cheat in this game.
Later on, including the OP's game, he fired up an engine, and started playing like Kasparov.
And by the way, even Carlsen doesn't get 0-0-0 one game after the other.
some quick examples:


(4 mistakes!)


And we're talking about Carlsen in his prime.
Gut feel definitely plays a major role as much as logic in identifying a cheater. You feel things are natural when playing against an honest player; the mood alters once you suspect someone's cheating.
@orior black made nothin close 0-0-0 he made 15-4-1 which kinda very different. But 0-0-0 is achievable if game goes your way or includes loads forced trades. Lichess inaccuracy limit is pretty high (half a pawn) so 0-0-0 game can actuallly be very bad play. Well depend on time limits what achievable. In OTB my best centipawn/move loss about 10 and would have easily met 0-0-0 limit but was no work art. Just non eventfull
I think maybe you just don't understand the point @orior is making...never mind :)
