Our Fair Play Policy

Chess.com's Fair Play Policy supports our mission to maintain a clean and fair platform for chess players around the world. In light of this mission, we reserve the right and discretion to monitor all chess games played on our platform. To play on our website, all players must agree to:

  • Play only their own moves.
  • Do not cheat in any way.
  • Do not get help from any other person, including parents, friends, coaches, or another player.
  • Do not use chess engines, software of any kind, bots, plugins, browser extensions, or any tools that analyze positions during play. We can detect if you are using any of these programs.
  • Do not use tablebases or any other resources that show the best move (in both Online and Daily chess).
  • Use Opening Explorer or other books in only Daily chess (not in Online / Live play).
  • Do not perform any automated analysis or "blunder checking" of your games in progress.
  • Do not allow anyone else to use your account.
  • Do not use anyone else's account.
  • Do not artificially manipulate ratings, matches, or game outcomes.
  • Do not interfere with the gameplay of other members.
  • Suspecting your opponent of using outside help is not an excuse to do the same. If there is suspicion someone is cheating, they should be reported to Chess.com.
