I got accused of cheating and then of sandbagging...
I am so triggered right now. So I was playing a Blitz game and my opponent was losing very badly. I got busy and needed to do something so when I came back and made a move he messaged "weird engine check"
I told him I would never cheat. He then told me that "chess.com" will decide. I seriously doubt that it will matter because I DON'T cheat and I know that the way they find out someone cheating is usually pretty inconclusive.
Extremely rude and bothers me really bad.
I messaged him after the game saying that I would never cheat again and that I'm perfectly fine with "chess.com" deciding because I don't cheat.
He then messaged me back and said that "maybe you didn't cheat, but you are a sandbagger. end of that story."
I'm just tired of arguing with him at this point. But I'm not a sandbagger either. I try to win every game.
Although at times I've felt and recently wanted to ask here if my Blitz to Rapid comparison makes any sense.
I feel I should be higher rated in Blitz but I'm not despite trying to win every game. I have one of the largest Blitz to Rapid ratings I've ever seen and a little part of me is worried that I could somehow get in trouble for sandbagging.
They're NOT going to find any intentional losses in my games.
Anyway, my Blitz rating is currently 837 with a peak of 1070. My rapid rating is 1398 with a peak of 1505.
Honestly I really feel like my Blitz rating should be higher, but despite trying to win every game it isn't anywhere NEAR my rapid rating and I am like 0% worried of being "caught" as a cheater because I'm not one, but I'm like 1% worried because of this that I could be banned because of sandbagging even though I don't do that either.
What do you guys think? A huge gap like this doesn't mean anything right? I do try to win every game. I just don't play as well with 3-5 minute time controls.
