There is a way to report it?
Anything we can do for clean QA from cheating players?

Under 'My Messages' there is the upper right hand corner option to send a message to the administrator, who's called miguel. It will help if you have some examples to support your case, though. Burden of proof is a toughie in these cases and we have the occasional player who is just plain damn good.

Individually, the best bet is probably to put suspected engine users on your 'ignored' list.

ok, thank you.
In fact is only a suspicion, watching also his past games.. but as you say he could be a damned good player playing as a chess programm!

but.. in fact.. some moves or typical way to play, some kind of repeated moves (for examples looking for Queen exchange as a maniac!) come from chess programs mathematic way to play.

Well, in my case, I tend to prefer keeping my Queen if possible, except the opening Qd1xQd8 or vice-versa if it costs the opponent the opportunity to castle.
In particular when in an uncomfortable position, or some material down, the Queen is the piece most capable of mischief. With her capability of forks or double threats, her presence might just make the difference if you're two pawns down already.

So if your opponent seems hell bent to exchange Queens:
a) they're unsure of themselves.
b) they're using some rather dumb AI help: "You're one pawn ahead so exchange everything and chances are you'll win the endgame!"
c) both the above.

I would not be worried in your case. A little thought well spent will keep you dictating your opponent's moves until you get 'im where you want 'im.
