sounds like a real "education".   I love when he starts screaming "we got a rage quitter"  with his sociopathic laugh.  A great example for all the children.

One of his latest titles was "Ripping the rating away from the 1200s"   I mean jeez.  What a message to send to people.  So sporting...

He might of removed it or changed the title.  I only see 
insults the 1200s"  or "bullies the 1100s"   thats the education he is giving the kids.  be a bully and insult people through rating manipulation.  nice.  Well done chess.com.

I mentioned the "ripping the rating away from teh 1200s" previously on here And I swear he reads this thread because after ziryab made his comment doubting super gms would play rating 400 players.  he literally posted the 400 video an hour later proving me right.  lol

i don't know if the coaches on here would agree with me,  but its pretty much common sports sense that these guys playing people too far below their level are lessening their own potential skills.  Its not a good idea if they truly want to continue to be professional players like Daniel Narditzky has said he still wants to do to Maurice in an interview after his last OTB tourney.    Its literally a bad idea not only for the community but for them as well.   Even coaching people too far below your level is not a good idea for them.

These guys are leading by example.   So the click bait titles,  the fact they are speed running.  It literally encourages all those things from others.  People also take things literally which is evident by alot of forum threads on this site.   Half the people here are kids.   The fact multiple accounts are so acceptable in this community even though its against TOS i feel can be attributed to these facts.

Hikaru is literally the least liked pro in the industry among his peers for how he treats people.  He literally treats his stepfather and brother like complete strangers to the point he seems sociopathic.  There has been so much controversy surrounding him its probably historical at this point.  There are so many examples like how he treated Chessbrah after the guy flagged him in a match.   It became so dramatic for a while that even Daniel Narditzky felt the need to chime in and post a whole essay online about how he was wrong to act how he as acting.   There was even controversy surrounding his manager and twitch mod.  You seem like you don't know anything about this community?  Are you really even a fan of this guy?  lol

Just to be clear I don't even have anything against HIkaru and I'm a fan myself.  I think he does do alot for the sport.   I'm just telling it like it is.  And he is definitely not the only one who speedruns.  I don't want to make the thread about him.  He is simply an example, a symptom of a problem but not the cause.    I just wish chess.com will realize what lichess.org did and why they no longer make no exceptions for speedrunning and why they even repeatedly ban super gm's for doing it.  As they even state themselves in their TOS promotes dishonesty within the community period.  You are simply in denial about it.  

I'm not here as a paying subscriber so he can make money by promoting poor sportsmanship in the community. period. Stephen Curry is not literally playing in community rated matches where people subscribe with the promise of competitive matchups.  What a terrible and desperately flawed analogy.   Are you trolling me?

That video is irrelevant.  And yes you've made it clear you don't care about speedrunners.  And I don't care about my rating either,  the rating is also irrelevant.  Its about the fact I'm subscribing with the promise of competitive matchups,  and the fact the site allows these people to undermine that to make money on twitch.  Its the fact as others have even provided examples of in this thread,  that encourages others to do the same unofficially.  Its the fact that the twitch community encourages people to use multiple accounts which is against TOS.   And imo,  thats why this site is infested with new accounts and the matchups are terrible at my level,  compared to a site with lichess.org which was a big revelation for me.   You see nothing wrong with that,  thats great.  You definitely have no sports sense and are not competitive. 

Have you paid attention to anything I've said?  Everyone arguing with me is so pigeon holed and brainwashed to believeing i'm complaining about rating points, or actually believing i'm playing one of these speedrunning titled players.  lol.    Once again,  it encourages others to do it unofficially,  People imitate them because they are leading by example and want to be like them.  People are banned for it all the time, there are threads promoting it.    Even people who don't speedrun are making multiple accounts because its considered acceptable and fashionable within the community.     Are you really not reading anything i've been saying and just trolling me? 

And even if none of it affects me directly,  its immoral and corrupt and its probably borderline against the law what they are doing.  Even if it doesn't affect me,  it shouldn't be allowed to affect anyone at any time, especially paying members. period.  Did the army not teach you honor?  You think that is an honorable and acceptable thing to be teaching the kids of the community?  That is something you condone with a clean heart?   20,000 people and 9 titled players were banned this month alone.  I bet that number would be alot lower if speedrunning wasn't allowed.

1.  why does that matter?  Again,  have you read anything i've said?  how many times do I have to explan it?

2.   I read the whole thread.  Are you too lazy to do the same?  Then maybe you wouldn't sound so clueless when posting on the subject of this thread. 

3.   Yes.  Literally.  in those exact words.  What don't you understand.  Yes!  They will literally tell people they should do that for "learning" purposes.   They will talk about how they have multiple accounts themselves when according to TOS they are only allowed one.   They will interact with people in the chat saying they do the same thing and they will applaud them for it.  YES.  

Its common sense though.  Its human nature.  You seem to have no understanding of it.  

Again,  try to pay very close attention.  because I've already said this 3 time to you,  but apparently i'm talking to a robot.    THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED ONE TRAINING ACCOUNT,  BUT THEY TALK ON STREAM ABOUT HAVING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS BREAKING TOS!!

And if you want proof go watch chessbrah's latest twitch stream he did this morning.  You don't have to look very far.  that's how common it is.  You're in denial.

  Because it literally sounds like you detest blitz in your title page.   "Fast chess rewards weakness. Playing for cheap traps and succeeding stifles progress

I mean wow.  Who's progress are you talking about?   Because I've done nothing but play blitz since i learned chess two months ago and I feel i've progressed a whole lot.      

1.  I've literally been conned with my subscription money. 

The promise of competitive chess? You have it. What do you think the statistical probability is that you play a random game, and it just happens to be a super GM smurf account? I have no idea but it's got to be well under 1%.

As for whether they're encouraging multiple accounts, I don't know that they're really having that effect. And if they are, how does that affect me? If a 1600 player has 5 accounts and I'm playing one of them, why should I care? It's against the rules, yes. But as a player, does it affect me in some way?

Take all games played last month and divide it by all speedruns by GMs ever played

And then add all the alt accounts inspired by them. 20,000 players and 9 titled players banned this month alone.  If speedrunning wasn't allowed I bet that number would be alot less.

The basis is literally human nature,  and how prevalent and acceptable alt accounts are in the community.  Especially in the twitch community where the streamers are speedrunning.   Which I've already proved to you when you asked by quickly linking a forum thread showing posters admitting as much that very same day.
