can a player be banned?
His rating won't go down after making 1 move but he will get the warning for violating the fairplay policy.
If I encounter him again and he does this i will report him. I am new to chess. I became disabled and am in a long term rehab center where I was introduced to chess. Only one person here plays the game and always beats me. I found Chess.com on the internet and am excited about having the opportunity to learn. I better learn quickly as I havent' much time left at 75 years old. I find it hard to play using timers. Can't think fast enough and keep running out of time although I do feel like I'm improving.
Best of luck to you with your health and recovery.
Consider "turn-based games." Any question, feel free to ask. Goes for Kaynight too - who is a great guy when you get to know him.
