I am participating in the free July Chess Univ. SLP for 1301-1600. Yesterday was our first full session, and we were told that homework would be e-mailed by the end of the weekend, and that the video would be available to review.

I haven't received the homework and I can't find the video anywhere. Anyone else not get the HW or a link to the video? I would assume that the homework must not be that important for the next session or we would have gotten it yesterday in order to start preparing for next week's session. Unfortunately, I am playing in a OTB tournament next weekend, and will miss that session, but wanted to get the homework done.

I'm in the 1601-1900 group, and I have not recieved the email with homework and lesson archive links.  The previous emails and instructor were vague about when the update email would arrive, so I guess we need to be patient and hope they work out all the bugs in their complicated system.

Then that is two of us because I have yet to receive any homework or contact in regards to the July SLP 1301-1600 homework or where the video for review is.

Anyone else?? Indeed has *anyone* been contacted by from chess.com in regards to the SLP homwork assignments??

I just recieved an email with links to the Introduction and Lesson 1 videos, as well as homework instructions (tactics training and link to an article).  The homework should be completed by the end of July.

Can anyone tell Chess University to un ban me?

If they banned you, they must have had a reason.  You probably should contact them by email and make ammends.  Why would they care if some stranger asked them to unban you if you have not made the effort to contact them?

I assumed he meant he was literally banned (expelled from the program), not simply missing some emails.  Chess.com University is probably fairly intolerant of rude messaging.  I'm not saying hsong1 is guilty of that, or anything in particluar (I know nothing about him/her), but this would be the most likely reason to get expelled.

EDIT: Okay, Ronald, I understand now that you were replying to the OP, not hsong1.  Thanks for clarifying that.

     NO, That was directed at the OP and anyone else looking for the homework links.   hsong has his own problems to deal with

How do I contact them if I'm blocked?

You can reply to the introductory email they sent you when you registered.

You should contact by private message a person who is in or runs the group.

You could always go to Chess Graduate School.

Avatar of DrSpudnik

Unlike real graduate school, you blow off studying chess and read real books about serious subjects.

I think you may have what it takes!

The SA and A have been off line here for 5 and 15 months. There is no one to send you an invite.

You would have to ask a person in their member list to ask the management here to elevate them to Admin status and then have them let you in.

You have diamond membership, why don't you start your own group?

Avatar of DrSpudnik

I want a plutonium membership!

Why were you banned? There must have been a reason.

Also, unless you are planning on paying the program cost for one of the sessions, there really isnt any reason to join.

Avatar of Martin_Stahl

 You didn't answer the second part of the post. Unless you are planning on paying for a session, why do you really need to be in the group? 

I'm sure if you are planning on paying,  then you could contact the head of the group and they would let you in,  unless your immature behaviour was really bad.

Avatar of Martin_Stahl

Well, GeniusKJ is the head of the group. You should contact him about getting unbanned  (as has been mentioned)

Avatar of Martin_Stahl

Then you may be out of luck. He runs the group and the program.
