Am I allowed to get my friend to help me with achievements?

Hey guys, I'm pretty new. 
I was wondering if I could get a friend to help me out on some of the achievements such as Castling Victory or like Bishop Checkmate. Since I'm not that good at chess to do this. Would this be possible to do without anything happening to my account? 
Thanks.

so if you get a friend to throw games, that's cheating to get achievements.

And if you cheat to get the achievements, how much do they mean to you?

on second thought, never mind. you can't understand the question.

I understand if it is cheating. But I know some YouTubers who have done this too. What my question is, if I do this, would anything happen to my account. Is it against the TOS?

you didn't understand my question. that's what i meant when i guessed that you wouldn't understand it.

i'll ask again in another way.


you cheat to get something you haven't earned. this makes it worthless. why do you value something that is worthless, and what does that make you?


do you understand the question now?

i'm guessing no, you are incapable. cheaters never understand the question or what cheating makes them.

God damn I just asked a question you don't have to bring all this hate and deep meaning stuff. All I want as an answer is yes or no if it is allowed.

don't hate you, i don't even know you.

suggest you read the terms of service?

I can't imagine you'd get caught if you did do these things, even if they're technically against TOS. Especially the checkmating achievements, which I believe can be earned through unrated games.

Try it if it really matters that much to you to have achievements. They don't get you anything for having them and no one else cares that you have them.

No as long as it's unrated

Well achievements don't really matter, you won't get a boost or anything for unlocking it, and you are gonna play against your friend at an untitled match. So yeah you ain't gonna hurt anyone and therefore not really cheating.

On the other hand, if you just keep playing you will eventually get them and it will be way more awesome doing it in a real match rather than on a set-up with your friend trying to help you.

What's wild for me is that you are scared about something happening to your account cause of TOS, but you post the question on the forum of the chess game you want to get an achievement via a way you aint sure if its cheating or not. That's like going to a police station and being like "hello, I intend to break in and steal some candy bars from my friends house, is it illegal, will I go to jail if you catch me?"
