Important rules

- 1) Do not use site messages to invite people to your group or team. If you do, your account could be flagged as a spam account.
- 2) Each person playing here 'Must' have and use their own account (no account sharing)
- 3) All games played between people logging in from the same computer 'Must' be unrated games
- 4) No chess programs or engines (e.g. Chessmaster, Fritz, Komodo, Houdini, Stockfish, Chessbase with any active UCI engine, etc.) can be used to analyze positions in ongoing games at any time.
- 5) In Daily Chess (turn-based games with several days per move), you may consult books or databases (including the Chess.com Explorer) for opening moves. "Tablebases" - which are specialized databases of particular endgame positions - may NOT be used at any time. Further, you may not consult an engine to provide an opinion on your opening database, self-preparation or analysis that would relate to a particular game-in-progress on Chess.com.
- 6) In Live Chess, no outside assistance OF ANY KIND is permitted.
- 7) Fixing game results by playing with multiple accounts or losing intentionally is also against the rules.
