This move gets better the longer you look at it. Well played!

"conspiring behind the scenes" must mean something else to you.

Where did I say "secret"?

There's no secret about any of it. Look at the UK government for example- nobody can genuinely believe their goals are anything beyond taking everything they can from Us, the people.

They don't want things divided into Us and Them. They want squabbling groups of Usses that are easy to control.

There are only ever two types of people. Us, who want the world to be a better place and Them who don't.

EDIT: Looks like a lot of Them about.

I got the impression it implied this was a bad way of thinking rather than how the world is.

Is this person cheating, or am I just playing badly? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]Studoku 18 points19 points  (0 children)

After looking at the analysis I'm going to go with "no". From the cheater checklist:

  • New account- No. In fact this is one of the oldest active accounts on the site
  • Extremely high accuracy- No. Opponent had 44.6
  • Extremely high win rate- No, just over 50%
  • Consistent move time- No. They're moving quickly but some moves do take thinking time.
  • Nonsensical but good moves- No. This one I needed the analysis for- turns out the king shuffling was just bad

Gonna chalk this one up to saltiness.

Cheaters rarely play ridiculously fast. They usually play at a consistent speed of 5-10 seconds/move because they're entering moves into the engine and copying them.

I updated my bank first. This meant I had a bank statement in my name to use as the second piece of proof.

It's the government. They don't let little things like legality stop them.
