Great teachings of bad practices, https://www.chess.com/club/matches/global-citizens-club/14570311) Early withdrawals, the system marks them as red 00. It is a serious offense that represents a lack of respect for all members of the club. Most of the clubs expel their players, we suspend them for the rest of the 2023 season, totally irrevocable decisions.2) Having more than 120 games a day is difficult to control (maximum level of risk) Imagine 369 at stake, what level of commitment can a player assume in front of the team and the club? We also consider all club members disrespectful, due to lack of commitment and high risk in their game. This player, as well as in 24 hours abandoned more than 300 games, surely he assumed a large amount also in a short time.You cannot assume a large number of games, because it is uncontrollable and you make many mistakes. I repeatedly notify the players during the game of their times, tell them that they were playing within the time limit (they had 3 days per move and with minutes remaining to make moves) and that they should not leave early because they were sanctioned by the system and the club.3) In addition, these situations are perceived by more experienced players who use their vacations to win the games, these are bad practices of dirty play and chess.com severely penalizes these practices (suspension and account closure).Detected and manifested cheating, not reported because it was not going to change the result. The facts: with 31 minutes remaining for our member to play, the rival activated his vacation (I saw this and took a screenshot at night) and deactivated his vacation again at night so that our player lost on time. Confirm it in the morning.In summary, this game is a gem of what we should not do, it is even the opposite of fair play.
