Very uncalled-for, especially from someone not rated 2800+.
We have had "players" like this before. They lose every game - falsely giving points away (often to their alter egos) and then I presume use an engine in a sub 800 tournament. Its abuse of the system.

I looked at his current games, and your explanation is the only logical explanation for a repetition of stupidity like that.
Numbers 1 and three have practically the same username, and numbers 1 and two joined within one day of eachother. All have about the same rating and same number of games played. 😲
I have noticed a pattern that players with a lower rating actually seem more able to spot the mate in 2. Higher players either fail with d5, or follow e5 with baffling moves like Nf6 or Ne7. WTF?

How many games you played actually left the opening and went to the middlegame?
