What do you do if you think a player is using some kind of help like a chess engine? I checked the players page and he is playing beyond his rating and games with every move being almost perfect. In my gut I think he is cheating. Thank you for your suggestions. :0)

We had a discussion on this a few years ago. Basically there is no way you can actually prove it since we are all hiding behind a computer and you cant physically see the person to verify if he is using an engine or not. In the end the best thing you can do is just not play against a player you suspect is using his/her computer to cheat.
***I will however add that i think quite a few players use engines to inflate their ratings. There is no glory in doing this. Just one look at the challenge central gives you an idea. Too me it just seems that there are WAY too many players with a super high rating. It is NOT like this in the real world at sanctioned events. There you will find the vast majority at about right smack in the middle of the ratings. Here on Stan's the vast majority have HIGH ratings. You do the math and decide for yourself.
This in now way reflects upon Stan. He is a good upstanding individual with high moral character and quite the gentleman. He has absolutely no control over how players choose to play at his site.
Like I said, The best thing to do if you suspect a cheater is to just not play against them, plain and simple.
