You kids seem to act surprised by this age old keyboard trick. (Of which there exists many). The recent perps were clearly amateurish, easily detected by a simple click on their profile. The old masters of deception, would copy entire profiles, activity history, ratings etc., etc., necessitating a discerning eye to detect different accounts. Oh, the games that kids play, to whither the time away.

perhaps chess.com, when checking for unique handles during account creation, should match these letters and cases accordingly and prevent creations of such accounts; or use a different font which differentiates between them.
That's hilarious and has been around for decades on the internet. Let people learn to copy and paste.
Read the url.

In an age where people can't find their own noses without GPS, a tracker tag and a navigation app?

Glad to have taught you that you can copy and paste the text to see whether it's "l" or "I". Happy to help! Guess this thread can be shut down now.

You're just racist against certain letters, they do NOT all look alike
I guess if words can be racist, so can letters.
I'm really persuasive =P
