I am sorry I used the offensive chat, next time I will only use the defensive chat. I am sorry for freely expressing my honest feelings to other players, it was wrong of me. I will not do it again, next time I will self censor myself before I make the offensive chat and hide my true feelings I have about other players. I will craft a false persona so duplicitous and pretend that I have the utter most joy and admiration for all chess.com players, when in reality my true feelings do not match. In this world everyone says to just be yourself, but to not offend chess.com I will make an exception. We get to graciously play chess at the behest of a website that hides the flags of certain countries. And for that I want to thank chess.com and warn other players before you make the mistake I made of being your honest and genuine self, please stop yourself before you make any verboten thought crimes that could severely rustle the jimmies of any other players. Life is too short to have honest conversations with each other. Certain letter combinations or vocalizations could cause shock and dismay and cause some to start literally shaking right now. So do not use your dictionaries to their full extent and only use approved words that are politically correct with the current administration. Also try to keep up to date on which words or letters are now unapproved. We at chess.com love diversity but not diversity of thought. I will try in the future to be as domesticated and testosterone free as a user as I can possibly be.So I want to repeat, I am really really really really really really really really really really really really super dupie sowwie with cherries on top and will never never never never never never never never never think about being my honest and genuine and truthful unfiltered self again for as long as I live on chess.com.Thank you and once again, please try to use the defensive chat before you think about making an offensive chat.

Something for admin to consider. Some players use the player blocking function because they don't like other players style of play, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the game of chess. This function is the equivalent of cancel culture and is detrimental to the game. People should stop being so pathetic and over sensitive. Blocking should be limited to 24 hrs then automatically cancelled. Any thoughts on this proposal. Thanks. C_V_C_V

Pls help

Dear 4 Chess players There has to be a way to stop the offensive language in 4 p. chess. Today someone said something offensive in the chat box in 4-chess: "like your mama and all those 'D-word'"! There has to be a way. Plz add your opinion on this topic (if you have one).

Yesterday I blocked 2 players and today both of them got paired to me in the same game in Standard anonymous FFA 2400+. This is really strange.

i protest that i have suffered from the situation frequently and lost large amount of scores,and the system did not view that i am lossing connection！ in case of this event,i suggest that if one is disconnected,the game must be ended immediately without score change.but is one disconnecting,is except here. for monitrring the net situation,set a net checker to monitor players'net。

In variants that include torpedoo we can double push pawns always. Consider position below where red and yellow are teams and blue is opponent. blue and yellow double push respectively then we get the following position as you can see in the screen shot red can move diagonally because blue double push the pawn and you can enpassnt it but after you make the move the blue pawn doesn't get captured! But if yellow pawn weren't double push it would work correctly. Please fix thankss Also there is a cool interaction if both yellow and blue are opponent to red. Red can enpassant both pawns. You can actually capture two pawns in 1 move !

right now i`ve seen many phenomena like it,especially one sent a queen but others don`t have it and kept it safe.I offer a piece of suggestion here. my suggesion is to input rule of cheskers"you must have chessmen,and you must have the most valuable one"in sone situations,in order to prevent these teammative men. said the rule: 1.one must have a chessnan with not suppose. 2.when youe chessman can have at least 2 others`chessmen withoue suppose,no matter whose,whether they are protected,you must have the most valuable one(you may not do it when the mosy valuable chessmen is the same value as yours,but you must have the next one in value.,you can also use bishop to have rook.) 3.when you have two+ chessmen attacking chessmen,you must use your most unvaluable one tu have the most valuable one. 4.checkmate is higher than other having.having king and checkmate will be seen as the same.player must do it. 5.in my advice,when red moved,others cannot sacrifice chessmen to threaten red except green,and it is unallowed that players have red`s chessmen together without a check. is it necessary?please talk.

Red to move and win.

The top four 1/2|0 players will progress. These players must provide their first and last name and country of origin on their profile and must provide a webcam/screen-share if requested at any time during the semi-finals or finals. To calculate the top players, players' top 2 arenas scores in each time control will be summed separately. These scores will be ranked in two lists, and the top four highest scores will advance from each time control. This means you have more chance to qualify for the semi-finals if you play in more arenas.The top 10 players in each time control will be made publicly known, and remaining players may be called upon during the finals as a replacement. In the event that a qualifying player does not want to, or cannot play in a semi-final, the next online player in that time control will be asked to take their place. This means that the top 10 players have a chance of playing in the semi-finals if they are online at the time of the semi-finals. Replacements will have their scores reset to match the last place's score. The Semi-Finals Semi-Final 1 - 17:00 UTC - Saturday, February 10, 2024 Results will be updated here. Semi-Final 2 - 15:00 UTC - Saturday, February 10, 2024 Results will be updated here. The top two seeded 1|1 players will play with the bottom two seeded 1/2|0 players in SF1. The bottom two seeded 1|1 players will play with the top two seeded 1/2|0 players in SF2. Semi-Finals will consist of 1 hour of each time control. If the last game ends after 58 minutes, the match for that time control will be over. A timeout cannot be declared after 50 minutes into that time control. If the last game ends after 1 hour, that game will count towards the scores. Please note that the following times are SET: SF1 will start at 17:00 UTC Saturday, February 10. SF2 will start at 15:00 UTC Saturday, February 10. The top two scores will progress, and will be calculated as such: 1 | 1 FFA:1st - 9pt2nd - 5pt3rd - 4pt4th - 0pt 1/2 | 0 FFA:1st - 3pt2nd - 2pt3rd - 1pt4th - 0pt Players will have one (1) 5-minute timeout per player. Players will get a 15-minute break between the time controls. Players will have to hit rematch within 60 seconds of the games ending. If the players fail to hit rematch, an administrator will reinvite them all and request that they accept. If they fail to accept (or if they abort a started game) they will go through the following penalty process: 1. Timeout deducted 2. Point deduction equivalent to a Win that the time control the players are playing 3. Disqualification and a replacement player will be selected within 5 minutes. In the event of a tiebreak, the player with the most 1st place games will progress. Should this tiebreak not work in the Semi-Final, the player with the higher score in their most recent game will advance to the final should that be necessary. In the absolute rare event that the games are all tied between the two players, the player with the last move in the most recent game will be declared the winner. Upon qualifying for the Semi-Final, players must meet and agree with Championship / Prize Money Eligibility Terms & Conditions within a week of qualifying/being selected. By playing in these arenas, you agree that you meet the basic eligibility requirements. If a player flags/disconnects, it is apparent that the server was the issue, not the player's internet, the game will not count towards the match, and the time will be reset to what it was at the start of that game. The Final Finalists will be updated here. All finalists will earn a prize! The prize money is as follows:Champion: $400 (400 USD)2nd: $300 (300 USD)3rd: $200 (200 USD)4th: $100 (100 USD) Finalists will play 2 days of matches, playing 1 hour of each time control each day. If the last game ends after 58 minutes, the match for that time control will be over. A timeout cannot be declared after 50 minutes into that time control. If the last game ends after 1 hour, that game will count towards the scores. Please note that the following times are SET: Day 1 will start at 17:00 UTC Saturday, February 17, 2023. Day 2 will start at 17:00 UTC Sunday, February 18, 2023.
