For anyone whos trying to get some awards/achievments done. I have always had some kind of ocd when it cones to thibgs like this. As a child with video games i always had to unlock everythibg and any bonus characters/levels etc. So when it came to the awards/achievments on here it was no different. I felt the same compelling urge to start rackibg up as many achievments as i could. So i found myself playing games like crazyhouse and bughouse that i dont particularly like at all. Never the less. The point of this post was i noticed i was doing some of the requirements for the awards and not receiving them, which wss extremely frustrating. So i came upon a forum post about some people complaining about the same thibg, and coincidentally the same achievments i wasnt getting credit for. And those forum posts were from 2021. Regardless, there was someone who worked for chess.com telling the people in the forum that there were indeed a few bugs regarding that and they were working on them. Well a year and a half later they havent made much progress. However, hesid also mention that if you were havibg this problem to message one of the chess.com staff memebers which i did and i told them which achievments i earned and did not recieve and they gave them to me within 24 hours which i was pleased with. Im not sure if they really look into it to see if you have indeed earned the achievments your asking for, so if anyone reads this and are havibg the same problem i suppose you could try to ask for an achievment you havent actually done and see what happens, but i figured i woukd just let anyone know whos having the same problem how to go about getting the awards you deserve.

Since this verified stuff started ive seen alot of people call it a cash grab, some people think it should be included in premium memberships. I personally am on yhe side of things on chess.com have gotten expensove lately. With the premium membership price going up and then they are charging you to be verified, something that from what i can tell the main idea is you can have piece of mind that your playing fair people. My first thought was how many people are gonna get their little verified checkmark and then start, or continue cheating. Well i wont put the persons name on blast but i was looking at some of my games and there was a person i randonly got matched with a few times on a day or over the course of 2 or 3 days. We each won a game i thibk? Not the point. But i stumbled onto his profile and noticed the last player he played (in a tournament) had their account banned. So i clicked on it and sure enough verified account. And he made it to the legends league without missing a week. Now i know thats not indicitive of skill its really who has the time to play the nost games. But sure enough their out there. I find it hard to believe he had never cheated before getting his account verified. So apparently some of these people feel bulllet proof with their little checkmark. 2 things. Good to see his accoubt got closed. But chess.com has always maintained their algorithms are bullet proof, so whats the extra scrutiny they can apply to verified players. This i do not understand. But either way, what a dumb move. Wanted to win a tournament so bad you cheat after youve played thousands of games and made it tonthe legends legue etc. Now your billing info is on record your not gonna be able to open a new account( does anyone know wether or not if you get your accoubt verified if they will let you do the second chance thing?  Because that would be stupid imo. But thats all for now.
