Mind Games Update

Sort:
DanielRensch

Hello Everyone,

Wow! What a wild ride the first round of the 2014 World Mind Games has been so far... and it's NOT over!

This has been our most participated in event ever here on Chess.com! Below is a list of ALL the qualifiers (minus the removal of abuse or cheat offenders) who will be moving onto Round 2!

But before we get to that list, I want to remind everyone that

  • Rigorous cheat detection will continue to apply in Round 2. Obviously we are disappointed that so many players were disqualified during this qualifying portion (include a titled player) -- but we hope it serves the "greater good" in proving to the world that we will never settle on anything but making our site the best, cleanest most amazing chess site in the world... and that if you cheat on Chess.com, titled player or not, you WILL get caught!

Thank you everyone! Look for updates in the main group on who is qualifying forward to the 3rd Round and root for your friends and favorite players (like me Tongue Out)!

Congrats to the following...

I played in the tournament and I came in third on tiebreaks but I got a 1 point bye in the last round so could not get any tiebreak points while all of the people got 1 more game so I was at a disadvantage. Can I still go on to the next round? I lost by 2 tiebreak points.

Thank you,

Isaac

Sorry, but getting zero tiebreak points is the punishment for a free 1 point bye

If I was tied for first I should not get a bye.

You said you were third place?

There were 3 people tied for first and they both won.

Glad this is going strong, and that you didn't have to type all of this

That's a lot of players DQ'd for cheating. Glad I don't have a PC ;-) lol. Can't cheat on an iPad.
