There’s nothing more vindicating than when chess.com agrees that you played a rice cooker and gives you back your points. I don’t ever report since I’m not some master level ELO and I wouldn’t expect to see many cheaters at my rating, because, they should be winning a lot and all at high ratings, right? But since seeing @ChessVibes run into cheaters on his Average Joe climbs at ratings close to mine, I’ve realized that I should keep an eye out for suspicious behavior (the random h4 in this game clued me in). This is the first time I’ve reported someone for fair play. Chess.com agreed with me and he was banned in less than 5 min. https://www.chess.com/game/live/123547821451

It makes me wonder how many cheaters there are out there as I’ve encountered a rice cooker already and I’ve only played a handful of games. In my case I didn’t report the other player, but the next morning I woke to an email from chess.com saying my opponent had been banned for fair play violations and the points I had lost had been restored. I wonder if someone else had reported my opponent or if chess.com checks all games for suspicious behaviour?

@keithsudermangmail-com I’ve watched some vids on this recently. They’re not scanning all the games as that would be too resource heavy and make the site unplayable. Their anti-cheat AI won’t look at the cheater’s games unless they’re reported by more than one person. Then, if the AI struggles to make a determination it’ll pass it to a human to review.
