Is It Cheating?

Sort:
Hammerschlag

~~~I am just wondering if...

Is it considered cheating to ask (in forum) if a game's position is drawn while it is still in progress?

If it is, then is this an offense that can cause someone to be banned?

We will take different factors into consideraton. One of those being, if a person asks in the forums for help in a current game and aren't aware its not allowed here, we will contact them letting them know the rules, and warn them against doing this again.

See post number six. I was wanting to play the computer on here with that. I don't know if you can play a rated game against the computer, but of course this would be unrated.

computer chess is all unrated, and live chess computer games are all rated unless you directly make an unrated challenge to the live chess computers. The wait for that game can be anything from a few minutes to all day as they are busy.
