Fair Play Policy

Since a members’ account was recently closed for violation of chess.com’s Fair Play Policy, I thought it would be good to share that policy, from www.chess.com/blog/Milosz-2012/chess-com-community-policies :

Fair Play Policy

• Do not get help from any other person, player, or coach
• Do not allow anyone else to use your account or access anyone else's account
• Do not use chess engines, bots, plugins or any tools that analyze positions during play
• You may use Opening Explorer or other opening books without engine evaluations in Daily chess only
• Do not artificially manipulate ratings, matches, or game outcomes
• Do not interfere with the game-play of other members
• You may not use tablebases, or any other resources which reveal the best move
• Do not "blunder check" or do any analysis of your games in progress
• If you suspect your opponent is using outside help, this is not an excuse for you to do the same. Please report the player
