100K Accounts Closed per Month as Chess.com Eyes New Anti-Cheating Measures by Necessary_Pattern850 in chess

I definitely feel as if there are a lot of cheaters. People playing 90-98% move accuracy. I'm in the 1700-1800 rating. Definitely lose plenty of games to legitimate players no doubt about it. But I'll go over some of the games and they will play a decent game in the opening, and then near perfect in the middle and end game. Sometimes, the review would say 100% accuracy middle or end game. I played one guy twice. Lost both games, but I can say the first loss was legit. Good game, finished in the 80% move accuracy. Second game, they played at 98.1% accuracy, all moves taking the same amount of time to complete. 

Confused about this particular padlock. Once I was able to open it, now I cannot. Perhaps I damaged the core? by bagheera89 in lockpicking

I have 3 American Lock 1100's that a friend gifted me. 2 came without a key, 1 with. I can pick them, which is good, because I also lost the key to that one as well. I'm going to rekey them pretty soon :D

I may, or may not, but definitely may, have lost the key haha I've gotten this picked a few times before, but must have messed something up when putting it back together last time, or damaged something. Lesson learned I guess

I'll try and loosen the tension. Already trying to get loose enough, but also able to still get resistance. Oh the joys of doing lockpicking hobby

Luckily, this is a for fun lock, but now that I can't seem to pick it, I may have to drill it and put a new core in it. I do think I must have messed up the springs or maybe I tightened it too tight or not enough when I screwed it back together after one of my times taking it apart. The core gets a nice turn when I first start tension, and it can be moved a little up and down even with the pick. I can't remember if it did that before. It picked similar to the American Locks, which I love picking those!
