I knew it was going to happen it was only a matter of time, I have been accused of cheating by an opponent who shall remain unnamed...they are continuously messaging me saying you cheat...in the intrest of fairness I am opening this thread in the hopes that this accusation can be laid to rest. As I have not been cheating it upsets me that jealous people would accuse me simply because I am the better player. That is not to say that I am the best player here it is saying that my fide rating is 2345 and therefore I would naturally play at an elevated level. However in the interest of fair play not wanting cheats on this site I ask that all of my games be looked at and actions be taken accordingly.

Thank you

Tom

I respect your FIDE rating, but here you're going to be looked at. Honestly, I have asked a few people to check on your games, since as a clan member I wouldn't want to have an engine user in there. I try to assume the best on everyone until evidence shows otherwise. I doubt anyone has any evidence right now, and the only thing you should do is keep playing your games, not start threads on the subject. The only accusations are coming from people who can't believe a newcomer can be good, or those who are having gut reactions to a lonely guy f*ckin his lawnchair being this good at chess.😵

If they continuously message you with a cheating accusation, you should report him/her for harassment. According to the TOS, they'd be gone, and not you. Still, I think it's prudent to clear your name early on.

How do you define "cheating"?

If you define it as: using an engine and you don't use one, then you should be ok.

On a side note, I don't know if the game mods accept self-proclaimed accusations of cheating as a reason to start an investigation.

Your graph looks suspicious... but your case is pure and simple. Every game you've played has become a record in history, Tommy. Yeah, so even if you were cheating and didn't get caught, guess what!? 100 years from now people would be able to determine if you cheated! Cause like I said, everything anyone does here is a matter of RECORDED HISTORY.

So, I could d/l all your games and analyze them. Probably come up with some evidence one way or another if you used an engine... but why should I spend my time defending a person I don't know? You can defend yourself - all you have to do is tell the mods your real name. Then they can go to the USCF site and find your REAL rating!

There is NO possible way that you could be rated at 2000 if your national rating is around 1500. You want the support of RHP members? Then be willing to earn it.

I know. It is perpexing. What if everybody came to us proclaiming that they have been accused of cheating. What would that do to our backlog?

--tmetzler

Edit: for those with no sense of humor... the mods only investigate accusations formally sent to a game mod/russ/chrismo; but then again, people don't often go around accusing themselves...

Not really...

Edit: in fact, every day that goes by, brings me back to flexmore's position on this subject

Well can't anyone find a Fide player and make a username with their name? Send that profile pic to admin@fide.com

I'm not doubting you, but other could.

I just noticed that the card says Belgium, yet you live in the U.S.? Is that normal?
