Engine moves are obvious from a mile away.

How to tell a computer cheater:
- If a person makes obvious moves and hard moves at same rate of speed
- If a person allows scary looking attack on the king involving pins and destruction of his own pawn cover surrounding the king only for you to see that there is no checkmate there when safer moves for your opponent not allowing such an attack were available before your attack. You see, computers have no fear, but in a fast game no human would allow unclear scary attacks when they can be prevented.
- Complex tactics done in blitz game.
- Active typical of computers style with active center fight
Etc.
Once you see some of these things, especially the first one, you can tell easily that it’s a cheater.

Another way is to run a list of moves on an engine, if a person made 28 Stockfish 10 moves in a row, you have a cheater

Like when I caught that moron last night, I’m 2100 on a good day 1900 on a bad day, but he beat me cleanly, while violating ALL of the above red flags, and the way he talked about chess is clear he is weak player, the language he used to talk about chess is kinda like if someone had an AV here of a muscular lean man and yet was making threads asking if bench press is a good exercise... you’d know right away he was fraudin, because you can’t get muscular and lean if you don’t know basics.

No matter what i do, i can't get higher than the 600 rating on chess. When i go up a bit, they put me against 700's and i get destroyed.
Then i go down and i wreck the 400-500 crews and it's an endless cycle lol.

I have been trying those puzzles from the chess apps etc, but knowing there is a good move to make vs applying it in a real game on a timer where there might not be ''good'' move is completely different.

Chess is a difficult game, and hoping to get to 2000 or whatever your goal rating is, isn’t going to be fast or easy. Same as fat loss and muscle gain, it’s a slow road.

Tactical puzzles are great, but you gotta do many of them, thousands, and many times over until you can tell the solution the very instant you glance at the puzzle. Are you using chess tactics pro free version? That’s like 250 puzzles or so, ok, go thru all of them, then go again from #1 to #250, try to solve them all yourself, if you can’t, then go back after you view the solution and visualize the entire tactic from beginning in your mind. Go thru all 250 puzzles until you can solve them all instantly in less than 2 seconds each. That’s pattern recognition.

You also have to read at least one, or better more, general chess book. Start with Susan Polgar’s World champions guide to chess, and then Jeremy Silman’s complete book of chess strategy, just to get some ideas. Search Amazon or google for best top rated chess beginner books and pick one. Lev Alburt’s Chess course is great. For you you gotta do volume 2 and then his 300 positions puzzle book. I’m currently about 2000 bullet and blitz, 2100 on a good day. And I’m going thru chess tactics pro app (paid version, 3250 puzzles) for the 3rd time. I will go thru all 3250 as many as 7 times until I can solve each one instantly.

Obviously private lessons etc. help.

You can also post the games here and get other people to chime in to give you ideas and tips.

You could post your game notations on here and we can give some pointers.

What time control are you playing?

Just keep playing games...eventually youll start recognizing game play patterns... your moves then becomes instinctual
