So basically, I own two accounts on chess.com, but recently got a email regarding that I can only have one account. The problem is that both accounts are in use for tournament reasons. SO, what do I do?

Decide which is more important and close the other one.

Will my account get closed in the period of waiting time for a response?

- scholastic USCF tournaments (school representing accounts forced)

- preparations of anything a titled player does which makes it a bit biased while some normal members cant have their own accounts and they must lurk secretly hiding one

- for streaming chess and posting educational lessons/videos via twitch or youtube

- a secret account just for playing chess and nothing else but just playing chess

these are some of the many reasons he could have had one and it looks like he doing it for the tournament and wethor or not its for USCF if the account is forced he might have reason

So, basically you seem to have broken the TOS and want to know how to continue doing so? 

Avatar of certai

It is actually CFC, but yes

Avatar of certai

not really, but, I'm trying to find something that we could both agree on

Avatar of Kowarenai

you cant agree unfortunately cause its biased for titled players to be the only ones with one

Avatar of certai

yeah

I've seen Hikaru do this sometimes, and thought it was allowed, since he's like a god at chess.

It doesn't make sense why you can only have one account
