bja61 Apr 2021 3:45pm, 27 Apr 2021 1,375 posts	0 bja61 I’ve just had my rating increased due to a detection of a fair play violation by one of my recent opponents. Has anyone else had one? I really dislike the fact that chess.com seem to be able to use an algorithm to unilaterally declare someone a cheat... I know we have been here before.

Chrisull Apr 2021 4:01pm, 27 Apr 2021 17,520 posts	0 Chrisull Me too, 39 points - some of which JCB is about to take from me... Bit I'd really like to see the algorithm or heuristic that can do that and how it can be certain? (i.e. it can't) If it's just a case of accuracy, I go on long binges where I'm recording 40-80% accuracy, then I knuckle down, concentrate, have a bit more time and win several games on the trot at 90% accuracy... Appeal it surelynot, I didnt see anything in our games that would indicate you played anything other than completely fairly (and we had 4 matches!) We had a 2-2 match count, and if you'd played a bit more accurately you could have had all 4 I suspect.
Chrisull Apr 2021 4:05pm, 27 Apr 2021 17,521 posts	0 Chrisull Do we know what happened to JogWalker's appeal? Must admit it puts me off. Probably good time to mention I'm leaving the leagues after this month, BUT, BUT, BUT will be happily playing on in short form tournaments/challenge matches - because of lack of time. Do we all have to fear this if we go from throwing knights away like confetti, to playing like budding Carlsens? Is it a bit like Zwift, when you finally get a good result in your category, you get disqualified and booted up into a category where you are going to lose all your races??
