Guess it doesn't matter now... banned for cheating.
Mysterious Rating Change
Sort:
They claimed the rating drop was a computer glitch and when I kept complaining because they wouldn't, or couldn't rectify the problem, they labled me as a cheater and closed my account. I was a member for 28 months and had 8 months remaining on my membership. So, they beat me out of $20.00 in membership fees as well.
This was not my first run in with them. Not so long ago. they changed the time limit rules in a tournament after everyone had already joined and started to play. When I complained, they said you can quit but we will penalize you. In other words it was, "go stick it in your ear."
There are plenty of other chess web sites on the Internet. I'll just move on to the next one.

Apparently chess.com does not like winners or complainers.
But but but then who do they like?
They like patzers.

They don't like engine users.
It's so hard for cheaters to muster a showing of shame, it seems. Instead they reappear with unbelievable stories of their innocence and the motives staff had for wronging them so.

That's just what the SA of a group I used to be in did. He claimed Chess.com accused him of cheating because he coached people for free, and they didn't like it.
wht does top 1 2 3 4 match mean? like they compare his games to the computer engine.. and its exactly what the engine would do?
heres a hypothetical. what if someone got so good..they literally played like the rybka or fritz engine.. (capablanca was one of the greats where computers dont find errors in his games) what would happen then when chess evloves into super geniuses who study computer chess from age 5.. by 21 they are super GM's... but if u compare their games to an engine it would seem as if they use it.

Short answer: The greatest players don't play like Rybka the way the cheaters do. They've been tested.

Even if that could happen they would be known as super genius GMs. Not patzers who somehow play just like chess engines.

I noticed that former #1 rated player on this site mysteriously had his rating drop after his latest win, see the game history:

Any idea why this would occur?
