Cheater or not? That's the question

I played against a 1600s who played like a GM, the way he trapped my queen with those strange moves, wow. And most of his moves were played in 8s in a 15+15 game. Kind of dubious. Just judge yourself.



Btw: Not a simple inaccuracy in the game analysis.

report him

Yeah I did

they will ban him real soon

Strange moves - of you. Did you want your queen to be trapped there?

@PrometheusAbsox the guy probably didn't cheat. First of all, the move times aren't all the same; I checked and he spent more time on nonobvious moves. Also I'm not sure why the queen trapping is so impressive - I am rated 1600 and I would have seen that in a game. Move 22 is the only thing suspicious about this game, but in this game you lost because you made a serious blunder, not because your opponent made implausible positional moves or calculated an impossible tactical combination, which would suggest engine use.

In fact move 22 is not even suspicious as it is not what Stockfish recommends.

Don't use the forum to report people. That is not allowed, and it is public shaming. IT IS IN BOLD BEFORE YOU EVEN START TO WRITE!

Use the form

@soni777 I guess it's really easy seeing the correct moves once you have seen the whole game. So you are telling me that he saw the sequence of Rc1-Rc5-Rb5 (and a3 if a6 to avoid that Rb5) in just 8 seconds is just normal? If so, he'll become a GM pretty soon I guess. I'll update if lichess indeed ban him

I did not use the forum to report him, I just wanted second thoughts
