Almost noone who is legit plays rapid above 1900. You will play most of your games against people who effortlessly beat you without calculating/thinking deeply a single time. Then in the end if you're lucky you might be allowed to win if you find the right moves at some crucial moment when the opponent turns of his computer or most likely starts making intentional blunders to lower his accuracy to avoid bans. It is completely pointless. You're better off just playing vs a computer where you yourself pick its strength level. Playing vs someone who makes strings of 3000 elo moves without thinking just feels sickening when you know your opponent is the same rating level as you and you know how bad you yourself are. It's just so painfully obvious what is going on.

He seems to encounter a disproportionately large percentage of cheats and his account name is GingerGM Speedrun. It seems some players see they’ve been paired with a GM/streamer and decide they need assistance to win, which they probably would. I don’t understand the mentality though. I guess for some people the winning is so much more important than the playing. I would expect most strong players to relish the chance to play someone like Danya and pit their wits against him. I know I would. But then I guess there’s a minority who don’t relish the challenge and decide to try to win by any means available. Such a shame.

I don't care what anybody says; the way Danya handles these situations is objectively good. He states when he is suspicious and does not make any allegations unless he has sufficient circumstantial evidence that is probative of foul play. You have to understand that Chess is one of the few games that involve 0 luck; its all about skill. A 2000 rated player drawing a 60 move game against Danya (a grandmaster who's spent his ENTIRE LIFE playing and studying the game, and one of the best bullet players on the platform) with 9 minutes to spare is insanely suspicious. I believe 1 of 3 things is true: (1) he is extremely underrated, (2) his rating is correct and he miraculously found all the right moves immediately and played them with nearly no calculation, or (3) he is a cheater. I choose (3) based off of the other games he has played (ex: he lost to a 1600 today and the accuracy was 69-75) and the engine evaluation. Please don't pay attention to the comments that trash your method of handling "such positions," Danya. They are probably just trolling.

Danya says it's only statistically unlikely that a 2000 beats a 2600 in a 15 minute game and it's only suspicious. But didn't it happen 3 times in a row? that's gotta be super-mega-suspicious. And it's always people with perfect opening theory in obscure lines. Keep in mind that Danya didn't play bad neither. 94% accuracy is not bad. Maybe people have found a new way to cheat in the opening and not get caught. or maybe 2000 is the new 2600. I don't know.
@mcbomb7447

Nah, you're just seeing the influence of Chessable courses. This opponent was suspicious, but the last few with the opening prep weren't surprising at all. Danya isn't even actively studying the openings he recommends yet the lines are all in the courses. In fact, the Jobava game with Qe8 was straight counter prep against Danya's own course. Part of Danya's problem is that he plays so accurately that he's walking right into deep course lines. Far less of these games have been cheaters than what KZitem commenter would have you believe, but this game in particular was kind of suspect because of how little time the opponent used in the middle game.

It's interesting to hear his thoughts on how likely it is to get 95% accuracy. I've had plenty of 95% accuracy games in bullet and blitz and it's because opponents are moving fast, making mistakes, and falling for opening traps that I've studied and know the automatic answers to. I've had a few 100% games just because the guy fell for the exact opening trap I've learned - it doesn't mean I'm amazing, just that they blundered a lot because they weren't familiar with it. But a long, drawn out, 95% accuracy game in longer time controls vs a very strong opponent who also is playing at 95% is a whole other story.

A few comments: 1) Danya's videos, teaching and attitude are incredible. He's exemplary in the chess community and handles potential cheaters extremely well. 2) There are many different levels of what could be called "rare". Every move changes the odds. Playing 3 best moves in a row might be a 1 in 10 chance for a certain player, for example. But then 6 moves would be a 1 in 100 chance and 9 moves would be 1 in 1000. It all depends on the factors and the odds tend to grow exponentially. Someone playing a pretty good game is one thing. Someone playing 600 points above their ELO sustained for 30 or 40 moves is basically impossible. On the level of 1 in a million million, not just 1 in 10 or 1 in 100. 3) It doesn't matter if the moves can be rationalised afterwards. Anything becomes easier to explain after the fact. The question is whether the player actually came up with them and how plausible it is based on their rating. Again, a 1 in 100 possibility can be given the benefit of the doubt while a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000 is basically proof. 4) Based on this, I'd say this guy cheated. He might be a legit player most of the time, but that doesn't change the fact that he chose to cheat in this game which ruins the game and his reputation. Way too many factors point to cheating - the speed of the moves, the consistent high accuracy, the intuition of Danya (like you're getting squeezed), the unintuitive moves, etc. 5) The pause needn't indicate "thinking", it could also be that they're distracted or had computer issues. 6) Cheaters often turn the engine on and off. So overall accuracy is less significant than long streaks of perfect moves during the game, regardless of a few mistakes.

I really wouldn't say that he was cheating on the basis of opening play alone. The previous 2 games were also hard for Dania because opponents knew theory better! But, I was 99.99% sure about the opponent's cheating with his endgame play. The basic reason for not doubting opening play is because of the enormous number of courses and free videos out there. Also, positional play is complex but some aspects of it like color complexes, backward pawn weakness, knight vs bishop choices etc. are understood to some extent at 1800-2000 level already. But, in an endgame, GMs turn into monsters and 2000s would be 2500s if their endgame play was this good.

It may come close, but does not predict the future. It is less than statistically unlikely for someone who is certainly not 2000 OTB to outplay a GM in a borderline classical time control. I really don’t think it’s possible unless the GM is recovering from a lobotomy. Either smurfing or using the engine.

Certainly possible, but seems unlikely.
