It is really disgusting how many cheaters and multi-accounting there is in online chess. Take a look in all u1500 tourneys. Every guy that wins them has a performance of 1900+ not losing one single game. How's that possible? It is obvious that it is someone else stronger playing in their account.
They;ll be caught soon enough. Try reporting suspecting cheaters, and most will be caught within the day, rarely within the week. If they didn't get banned, they simply had a very good day.
But is this punishable? I mean, they are not using engines but it is obvious that a U1500 player having a performance of 2000 and not losing one single game there is someone else playing in this account. I don't even know if the mods are willing to punish this.
my advice, just stop playing U arenas, which are indeed attracting sandbaggers and other type of "interesting" players, play open arenas, You might find winning games there easier than in U arenas ;)
I guess you lost
This are players around 1900-2000 but they decide to sandbagg and go play in this tourneys just to boast their egos when winning
