Appeal

Hello staff,
if it wasn't evident already, this is only a side account, used for practice (as the profile says) and for things I would not feel comfortable doing on my main account, especially rated hyper atomic, or doing 100% zerk in an hourly arena just for fun. Also this means that the games in question were played not really by a 1700 but by a 1900/1950 in fact, but this account was mostly used to play with handicaps as said, explaining the lower rating.

I went through all analyzed games on this account and I could track why there might be slight impression of cheating, but I want to explain that it's simply an unfortunate coincidence.

I don't have a fast mouse, which is why there may be flat move time sequences around 1 second - as long as it was not a trivial pawn endgame and as long as remaining clock time permitted, I didn't premove and I played with normal reaction time based on the instinct my skill level gives. In other words, these moves are all humanlike and didn't require any deeper thought. Many Nf3 e3 lines easily lead to low ACPL with decent theory knowledge and Black not putting up any tricky resistance. I blundered in these games like I do all the time, the playstyle is nowhere different from my main account.

Further explanations on individual games:

https://lichess.org/nl31UIJc#32 the move order (5... Nf6) was unusual, so I had to spend some time figuring out what to do next. Also at 17. Nd2, having allowed the rook to penetrate down the b-file looked daunting, so I spent some time making sure that everything was fine before wrapping the game up.

https://lichess.org/poIw80f2 I priorly learned the winning the technique beforehand, it was just the first time to apply it, hence I recalled the move Rf7 followed by b4 and Bb2+ in a bit. Otherwise it's just an easy win.

https://lichess.org/VARHHA1K Shourjo always used this trick opening on me, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. Here White just takes free material on g7, trades off the rest and wins trivially. Also Shourjo wasn't even a cheater himself (banned for another reason)
