GM Denis Kadric (currently rated 309th worldwide) was just banned by Chess.com for allegedly cheating, and has no ability to appeal or see evidence used in the decision.
Not only is the website the de facto platform for online play, some tournaments also use it for in-person games. The site has essentially become a chess authority organization of its own right. Its staff operate as judge, jury, and executioner behind closed doors. While I’m sure the majority of banned accounts were blatantly cheating, their team has apparently taken input from ChatGPT to run “simulations” to determine cheating probabilities.
