Lets say we have a person, named Akash. Akash has this rare incurable disease where on move 5 his opponent blunders a queen no matter what, so he wins every tournament's first place prize. However Akash Hates invitational tournaments for some weird reason? Could he make a living off of just traveling around the country and playing in Open tournaments, and if so, how much would he earn?

I have heard that playing blitz makes you a worse player. Is that true or not?

This is entirely fictional, but what if we have twins a and b. B is higher rated than a so during a major swiss tournament (i.e) world open. Twin B plays for twin a. If they were caught, would that be a sanction of twin a's uscf, twin b's uscf or both?

If TD's can submit tournaments to USCF, couldn't they just submit a tournament where they Input that they beat multiple GM's and gained 700 Rating points? Or even at a less noticable level, they play multiple higher rated players and beat them all? How does US Chess track that?

I posted this in the general forums, but I should have asked here since you know US chess rules better. I remember it being legal about 8 or 9 years ago when Hikaru played Nepo in the world cup armageddon tiebreak. Hikaru said it was legal then, but I’m unsure if it still is. Is it?

If a person gets their chess.com account closed for fair play, are their tournament results in past USCF tournaments on chess.com revised within the USCF system? I had my suspicions about a past player in a couple of U1450 blitz tournaments a couple of weeks back. I see now the player's account was closed.

Hi, I recently just finished a tournament and earned a category 2 norm. I'm wondering why I didn't earn a category 1 norm. My four opponents were rated 1464,2032,1811,and 1877. I scored 3 points out of 4. An 1800 would be expected to score 2 points in this rating field. I scored 3 points. I scored 1 point over what would be expected. Why didn't I earn a category 1 norm? This is just for my understanding. Thank you to anyone who can answer.

just wondering if the excalibur game 2 chess clock is still able to be used for tournament play and currently approved. i heard it was originally the official chess clock for the federation many years ago and am playing to buy it eventually so hope you guys can help me out here.
also I have my very own excalibur currently but cant tell if the batteries arent big enough or that the display is messed up cause it would show 3 zeros but can still be programmed to do 3 mins or whatever time control you want to set it too. its very weird so could you guys tell me if its broken or not? i rlly would like to buy another one if this one is broken also the image above isn't my excalibur so yeah thx

Hey everyone! I am planning to host weekly online USCF-rated blitz tournaments with time controls similar to tournaments held here. Entry will be around $5–$10, and 70–80% of the pot will go back to players as prizes. Right now, I’m just trying to gauge interest—would you guys like to see prize tournaments like these? Feel free to DM me if you're in!
