Cheater or not? That's the question

Yeah, right. :) Hide behind that. Public shaming it is
Nothing abnormal. Black was careless with the queen and white trapped it. Take responsibility for your own mistakes instead of claiming divine intervention.
PrometheusAbsox no cheat but you played not good not up to cheating standards
@PrometheusAbsox you do have a point that it is easy to say moves are obvious having seen the whole game, but I took another look at the game. Move 13: in this position I would perhaps be more likely to play a3 but I would consider that perhaps b5 and Qxb2 is not a threat; this is something that this player is not necessarily highly likely to be aware of however as it is a pattern that shows up most commonly in the Exchange Slav, which he does not play with either colour, but nonetheless I can believe that he did in fact see that. Move 14 is definitely obvious given 15.5 seconds - I would spend maybe 20 seconds to check myself but still this is believable. There was not a larger plan behind the rook moves - you simply blundered by not giving the queen an escape square which is something that should ring alarm bells on both sides.
I will say that it will look like your opponent is cheating if they respond well to your bad moves but he might not be... however if you play decently well and he plays amazing that is more of a sign.
