Correspondence Players ONLY!!!!!!

The problem is, game explorer aside, anyone who answers yes will be banned for cheating, even if they were just joking.

How?

We are having an informal discussions on the decorum of correspondence chess.

Be honest and be impressed by the weight of the ban hammer...

"one must be moral, irrespective of the ramifications, brah"

Everybody is scared now, thanks macer and theEnt.

So what if a man was falling off a cliff and you had to pass a designated area which had a sign that said "Trespassors will be get a obligatory sentence of 5 years in federal penitentiary, absolutely no exceptions," how many of you will the save the man?

i will , then ill move out before they caught me

One way in, one way out. The camera spotted the man a few seconds before you arrived and the guards'  ETA will be within 20 seconds, consequently to save the man will take  20 seconds as well. You have 5 seconds to make your decision or the man falls to his death. 

You are brave man I can tell you have characteristics of a leader, since you were the first to answer my question.

I take it for granted that in online chess some of my opponents will cheat and I will still beat them.

Yes, but will you save the same man?

Silence....lmao. This just substantiates that ethics needs to be taught in our school

from pre-school brah

YEah, not doubt there are some cheaters. I don't think it is as many as anti Online Chess people say, but there are some. This is often a reason for blitz/bullet players to criticize Online Chess.

Funny thing, even blitz and bllet are no longer safe from cheating. There is software now that will make your moves for you in blitz and bullet games on Chess.com

but, still not as prevalent as the cheating in online chess.

Why worry? The guy falling off the cliff is going to be caught before he hits the ground, and sent to prison for five years.

Absolutely no exceptions, remember?

i believe the implied value of a human life according to the premium of insurance companies in America is 10 million dollars, however if I changed it and said if you crossed the designated area for 10 million dollars and can keep it if you serve the mandatory time, 99% of people would do it. However, to save a life of a fellow human being is too much?

Would you serve 5 years and your reward is you saved a life or would you serve the time and cross the designated area for the $10 million ?

Your choice....... If you do not answer it in this thread at least do some introspection by ruminating on the question, honestly.

And ask yourself why you chose that particular course of action and was it worth it?

And what is your life's objective and who taught you these objectives?

And will you change them if you could? 

yes his body will do time, but how about his soul?

Only really high rated players actually need to worry about cheating. And chess.com only bans you if it detects cheating with its engines.
