DID I JUST PLAY A CHEATER?? | Chess Rating Climb 1083 to 1107

[@shawncoward3208]

As a 1200 player, I’m very confident that rice was being cooked. I couldn’t keep up with the ideas behind their moves at all and never run into players that consistently find stockfish moves like those. Keep up the great content Nelson and don’t let those games distract from the fact that we love the vids you’re putting out! Love the rating climbs!

The telling sign is not necessarily how they play the brilliant moves, it's how they spend time on the obvious moves. Like the ending moves when no complex plans are needed or necessary and anyone with some relatively basic chess experience should play right away. That's when you know the water has evaporated and rice is burning....

[@wardm4]

Yes! I find it wild when my opponent slowly squeezes me and right when they get to play the move they've clearly been setting up for the past 5 moves, they start playing on their own and take forever to find it. I'm just like, you've been brilliantly paralyzing me the whole game to play that, why are you hesitating? I know people's skill sets are varied, but the most obvious cheaters to me are when they play like Magnus Carlson in the opening and then start blundering obvious endgames or when they blundering common openings and then turn into Carlson in the second half.

[@ThaddeusMcMonster]

At around 41:30 - it took him 4 seconds to find the brilliant a5. Then it took him another 5 seconds to find the continuation of axb6? Makes no sense.

[@shahmatsimplex4144]

When I saw h4, the alarm bells went off. 1100s dont make those type of moves in such positions . Hanging the pawn to the knight to realize several moves later a winning position and to calculate all that in seconds ? Pushing the wrong pawn was a mouse slip, losing big advantage, but that didnt matter. The rest was mostly top engine moves in complicated positions. Takes the fun away from instructive rating climb which is supposed to be against humans. I come to watch AverageJoe demolish low rated players just like a Roman watching Maximus dispatching run of the mill gladiators and not succumbing to the vampire barbarian gladiator.

[@Ceidonianphysicist]

An 1100 can get 90% accuracy but only when an opponent is making mistakes and not in this situation with these perfect pawn moves. I was firm that the other 1000 was legit but I think this is a clear cheater.

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

That’s not necessarily true. I just learned to play on June 26 and only rated 1100 so far but I have had quite a few (maybe like 1 of every 20) games where I get 90+ accuracy with opponent getting mid 80s or better with over 20 moves each. I don’t think accuracy is a great judge of someone cheating especially because for example playing the Jobava or the Caro I can get 90% pretty regularly but playing the Catalan or kings Indian it’s super rare I get a 90. That said, Nelson definitely got cheated lol

[@Ceidonianphysicist]

@@giacalonebuilding4443 you get 90 because your opponents are playing inaccurate moves. Accuracy becomes misleading if someone plays on when lost which is why your opponents might have 80% to lose. If you played a 2000+ you’d never expect to get 90%

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

@@Ceidonianphysicist that’s fair enough. I was just pointing out that is possible to get 90s with opponents playing mostly good chess (maybe 2 inaccuracies and no mistake on 20-30 move games). That said, Nelson taking the H pawn was an inaccuracy that snowballed into losing the game, and I think him being a master if he wasn’t streaming and having fun and playing seriously he would have seen it.

@@claypennington602 If they find insane tactics then you might consider watching videos to understand positional play better.

I pulled up your rice cooker and there's no way you make a string of engine moves that fast. The first half of the game must have just been getting the water up to temperature as it wasn't anything special. Your knight move basically set up for the pawn advance which wasn't particularly hard to see, then the timing goes all weird with too many moves people don't usually find in 5 seconds. Executing an attack like that his HARD and I wouldn't expect even high level masters to calculate that fast. Would have had some pauses to work it out. Only other thing that was observable is in his games today he doesn't have rice with every one of them. His next two games were far more normal with attendant blunders and no strings of perfect moves.

The Na5 main line attacking the c4 bishop requires a lot of theory. The counter-offensive property of the fritz variation is really nice, the position is decent even if white defense correctly, and if white doesn't know the line, he'll probably lose.

Some of those moves would have to require some very advanced scotch theory that I've never seen in my life in order to play some of those insane moves, F3 and a4 especially. A strong player would never extend like that and play some potentially weakening moves unless they knew 5-10 moves ahead. It's either advanced scotch theory or a cheater.

I'm currently 1169 (trying to get to 1200 but keep betting slapped down to 1050). There have been some opponents where on game review they did moves, several in a row that just seemed out of sorts for the level we are at. Pretty sad if you are chess cheating at 1100. Can't say this happened but it seems like it has.

[@paigebernard583]

if you watch nelson's other videos there are tons of confirmed cheaters he has played against at a similar level as you so a lot of them were probably cheating in your case as well. check your game history and see if any of the opponents' accounts are banned then youll have your answer

[@asztapaszta9]

same here! what up at 1300 once now I am yoyoing between 1150 and 1200. It also been a very long time I got a refund I did get many more while playing at the 800-900 level

[@Chilli_Tea]

I didn't think the first player you lost to in this series was a cheater but this was indeed some rice, straight outta the rice cooker, fluffed up with a fork, ready to serve jasmine bro

[@LoneEagle2061]

The account is less than six months old, and I didn’t see the tempo of their games. If it’s about 100 games to get to 1100 it’s possible that they are an OtB club player or something - and just haven’t reached their real rating yet… They weren’t set up to counter some of the follow up moves you were talking about (which seemed quite powerful as you mentioned them)… But I don’t think you were being salty on that one. Worth reporting.

Fun fact: 'Rice Cooker' is a nickname for the OLL 52 Rubik's Cube case and algorithm.

[@denizorsel1029]

When an 1100 has a centipawn strength of Magnus, you know what is up. =)

[@eridu77]

KZbin doesn't understand chronological order. If you could place the number in the title it would help. Great teaching.

[@Superchessarmy333]

Plz play the Caro kann defense

[@abberantgeck0]

Interesting. That rice got you tilted.

[@CJ_1406]

He must be cooking some rice.

[@aaawman2280]

He said that move it was a blind spot, the whole board is my blind spot, started at 800, worked up to 1060 or so and have been knocked back down to 800's, wow.

[@bobibobbobino]

Every single time you played the best move, they played the best move. Almost as if they were matching you to try and not get caught.

[@AmirulAsyraf-mq7bx]

Would you play Petrov Defense?

[@jameslegrone498]

I still remember the rice cooker video love that it is a saying now.Did they end up getting banned or is it still undetermined?

[@tamatamt]

It’s absolutely cheater . He got 90+ accuracy in lot of games, who will have 90+ Accuracy in 1100 rating?

[@cristif92]

I like it the icon of the cooker (of rice) from the thumbnail :))) funny :))

[@cominoengenharia]

What if it's a much higher rated otb player in a new account or even migrating from another platform like lichess?

[@paigebernard583]

its possible but from their play it seems like at least two of the big "mistakes" they made were misclicks. the top engine moves were similar but they just moved it to squares next to the correct one by accident

[@Sarutaru06]

All an 1100 rating means is that sometimes you play like a 2000 rated player and sometimes you play like a 500 rated player. And sometimes you do both in the same game.

"Double the Rice and give it to the next person"

[@joshualevinson7507]

How about the Duras gambit? Or a Jerome? Not sure if you're already at too high an Elo to play nonsense openings, but they can catch people off guard.

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

The second game looked like the staford gaambit, only you put a Queen on c6 instead of the horse

[@rajatkatal9311]

It's hard to comprehend for a elo like 900. 28:21 black queen to d4 only option white will have to move queen to e2 then bishop to c4. Canf we take the queen this way. Please tell if I'm missing something. Got it. Bishop is there to protect the queen. My little mind is learning.
