Chess.com Secrets

Here are some secrets of Chess.com:

1. Have you ever viewed the Community Policies? Actually, Chess.com has no way of detecting if someone is cheating or not. The only way Chess.com can find out if someone is cheating is if people report them for it.

2. Has anybody got all the awards? Well, you probably haven't got all the secret awards. You don't know how to get these awards until you get them. For example, if you give someone a diamond membership, you get the secret award "Generous". You can't see if someone has a secret award by looking in their profile.

3. This is a short one. Chess.com gets approximately 90% of their money from diamond members.

4. You can see your percentile and global number in the stats. Did you know that most of the time they are not true? Chess.com gives you false information so it won't discourage people from playing chess. For example, if your percentile is actually 30%, it says it is something like 60%.

5. Chesskid is a huge enemy of Chess.com. If Chesskid didn't exist, Chess.com would earn more than 2x the money. However, people who go to Chesskid are on average 200 rating points higher than Chess.com when they grow up.

6. Chess.com says there are mods than can close forums and punish you. That's a lie. It's just to prevent any inappropriateness. The truth is, Chess.com can't afford to have mods looking around in forums all the time.

And how do you know all this?

7. Eric is secretly David's cat.

and im secretly ruffian the fake. 

1. Like any site, chess.com can see which user is connecting and has all the means to find out if they are cheating or not because they are the same means that it makes available to users. I'll give you an example: you are a good player and you play for 25 moves in a row a 3-minute game with an accuracy of 80% (means of chess.com) your opponent, remember that it is 3 minutes, play with 98% accuracy. if your opponent is not nakamura and chess.com can see them if he is https://www.chess.com/members/submit-title-proof will ban him for sure. if he doesn't ban it, something is wrong.

2.3. ecc 

on percentages I can not help you. what grade did you have in math in college?

hol up I thought chesskid was a part of chess.com

I did my best.

but now that you mention urself, they haven't banned him yet. will he be a moderator?

Yes, I agree! I.e. look here: https://www.chess.com/article/view/scholastic-chess-cheating

and here: https://www.chess.com/article/view/online-chess-cheating

and the 6. point: That is not a secret. There are mods, but shurely they can not have a look all the time and all the forum. This forum is just too huge. And it is not necessary, because there are enough members who immediately report somebody if they see for example some rassist texts or similar things (me for example!).

For me it seems that here somebody must make himself important.

You forgot the last one.
8. All of the above statements are false.

This is another of this topics where somebody just say something (mostly total stupid things) and then never again post in their own topic. Think it´s called trolles! The forum is full of it.

not all. that she had a bad grade in math is evident. it must have been he who got the evaluations wrong and didn't ban him.
if I can help you, tell me.

g.n. dear

italian, uff!

why danilo dont put knight f6? Q protected it! caution first of all??

i don't see the connection. She opened the discussion and she is Italian, so she is watching the chess video and this is a chess site. I think a good move is always appreciated.

One more secret: Chess.com was made to play Chess.

Thanks again
