Alt accounts allowed?

I have seen a lot of people with  alt accounts, are they allowed? Is it only allowed for titled players?

No!

Ok

What does this even mean? Does it mean only titled players are allowed to have two accounts?

You can, but you have to get it cleared with Staff.  And so "us scrubs" generally won't be allowed since we don't have good reasons.

dont know, thats what im asking :/

ah ok thx

same

or you don't tell anyone it is ur alt 

Lol

uh

Alternative accounts are not allowed under any circumstance. forget the idea of having them. If chess.com finds out one of them will instantly be closed. If you repeat the offense i believe an IP ban can happen pretty quickly. 

The only people that can have alts are chess.com staff and titled players. pretty much no one in this thread will ever be either.

hi

uh hi 

Of course, one account per site is ok.

Sometimes the site will allow a second account, but they must be approved by support and are generally for specific reasons. An example is titled players so they can practice without people knowing who they are.

ah ok thx, because I wanted to make an alt account to try out new openings to see which one i can play best, so that when im done I can go back on my main account and practice with those openings

wait WHAT

FPV closures can appeal the closure. It is rarely overturned, but it does happen on occasion. That's the only way that type of closure gets reopened and allowed back on the same account.
