So many cheaters

Any evidence besides gut feeling?
Around six days ago I started to play a bunch of unrated games. I am rated 2016 in blitz and around 1850 in rapid.

In a series of 14 unrated blitz games I played only against players above 2000, and their avarage rating (sum rating divided by 14 games) were 2164. Of those 14 I won 12, drew 1 and lost 1. I even won over players above 2300.

What I find a bit strange is that I very, very often have a very hard time when playing rated blitz/rapid games against players from 1600-1900, But that it somehow was quite easy to win over many players between 2100-2365 in unrated blitz (3+2) .

That is a bit strange I think. What it means I don’t know.
Have a Nice day, and wish you all peace and love.

This is my current hypothesis, which I don't have much data to support. I believe some new users (or at least new accounts) take advantage of the wild provisional rating swings to stop when the rating is very high -- much higher than actual strength. Then, they play only unrated games to keep the stat.

> 94% accuracy means nothing on its own. I've had 98% accuracy twice in the last few days and it's not a sign that I was cheating or even playing very well. My opponent blundered, it's as simple as that.
eah, but u might have cheated against those robots.

In the last 6 months you have reported only one account for fair play reasons. The same account was also reported for inappropriate username. What I can say publicly is that the account is closed.
I don't see any other report for fair play in your history. Please use lichess.org/report.

Like you. You're just making assumptions here, too. And the level of accuracy is not a basis for assuming cheats here. Can you substantiate your assumptions? And I don't mean accuracy.
