I'm very comfortable telling my age, I'm 18!!

Young enough but my mind is older than my age...

How do we know majority of players are minors? I'm 27 and most of my peers play? I suppose once you get into intermediate levels you're playing against adults too who will have more experience, unless you're just very good at chess at a young age in which case props to you

I am 21 years old. 
But I'd guess that the average could be around something like 12 to 15.

If you've spent any time on the forums, you'll know what I mean!

I have had the idea for some time that ChessKids or whatever it is called, was not all that popular with the very young.

Definitely, I have felt that there are a lot of very young ones here, as they talk like I did when I was about 12 or even less,

I am not thrlled by it, I have to say.

Yes, to be honest, if we all stormed onto ChessKids we'd get kicked for sure - I know young people are vunerable and blablabla but it should still be fair

Hello chaps!

I was just wondering, how old are all of you? I mean, the amount of spam threads in these forums make me think it's mainly kids, but what is the actual age range on Chess.com?

Nothing weird, I'm still technically a child myself (although not a spammer by any means)

Also no pressure to answer! Have a nice day!

This site is infested with kids.

Most the people here that post are either really old, like pfren or myself (turned 51 earlier this week), or immature little brats under 18 (most of them under 13).

Then we can only hope that their parents signed the consent form that is required for minors of almost every country out there.
Especially, if they really want to play chess here.

I sincerely hope that the situation will get better.

Kudos for speaking up though.
It’s an issue that is hard to address.

Yeah... I wasn't aware of this consent form deal though? What does that involve?

It could be very easily forged/the kid could just pretend to be an adult

You can look for additional information here:

It’s definitely worth the read if it concerns you.

Avatar of Your_Local_Chicken

Oh, it doesn't concern me, I'm over the age bar

It's just an interesting topic for me
