What's funny is that I remember PMing my friend from childhood and old college roommate Bralen on the site, telling him that I think I was drawing a master, and that I could not believe he was going to let me get away with it.
I was outplayed and busted, but I saw a "Greenpawn34"-style swindle attempt, so I went for it, and he fell right into it. I could not believe that someone playing at 2200+ strength let me get away with it. A blunder would have been more believable to me, as I do that myself sometimes with a bunch of games going at one time.
It did not even occur to me that he was less than authentic, but in retrospect, things start to make more sense.
Here's the game- I am outclassed, but the swindle for a draw was sweet!
Edit- It was a thematic tournament, so no rating points were involved.
2nd edit- It may not look like a draw superficially, but if you don't see it, try to win it and you'll see it pretty quickly.

Banned after playing 1830 games ...!?
are they seriously checking games or something wrong with the software/method?

They don't use a box in all their games, these clowns get cuaght and
thrown off within a few months.
Doubt is always given to the player so it takes time and a fair amount
of work to get convincing proof.

Polux - if you look at user User 40539 game history, you'll notice that he played at right around 2100 for a long time, and then, fairly quickly, rose to 2300. Its not just low rated players for whom this is suspicious. I haven't looked closely at his "before" games, but I suspect computer use might be harder to prove, say two years ago.
