As of around May 2015, you can very often see partnerships with a "normal" profile matched with a newly registered user. Most likely, I would say 85%, it is a fictitious profile created by the 'normal' user to control both sides of the partnership by himself (on the site it is called double navigation or abbreviated to db). Furthermore, two fairly new profiles paired together almost always (like 95 out of 100) betray. An extended form of this type of cheating is to control a third player on the opposing team to tip the game in your favor (this is called 3-in-1 on the site). In my opinion, this is the bitterest way of cheating that players without trust and etiquette (sore losers as called in the site) do it. The site allows the host to decide whether to continue the game or wait if some player abandons in the middle of the game. The intention of stalemate is to let all the other players leave, and then let yourself go to 'break up' the game without affecting the rating. Hate speech towards other players is often used as a catalyst for this
