Appeal regarding the blocking of the account of Elisey_Ananiev

Hello!

I am writing to appeal the blocking of my account Elisey_Ananiev. I understand that my account has been blocked due to suspected Fair Play Policy violations.

I want you to know that I have been playing fair. My recent sharp rise in rating is due to intensive live chess work: I've been practicing with a coach, participating in real tournaments (including the Ukrainian championships), which has allowed me to improve my game significantly. Changing my opening repertoire (switching to e4 and the Italian game, and gambits) was part of this work. I worked on understanding the positions, not just memorizing moves.

I did not use any programs, engines, or help from others. I ask that you recheck my account given these circumstances. I value my honest name very much and would like you to review my situation.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Elisey

You have to contact the Fair Play team using the form that would have been sent to you via email when your account was closed.

Thanks for the reply. I checked the email I received after closing my account. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain any form or link to contact the Fair Play team. There is only a button that redirects me to the Chess.com home page.

Could you please provide me with a direct link to this form or explain how I can contact the Fair Play team in another way?

I am willing to cooperate to solve this problem, but I need help to find the right contact.

Sorry, I have never actually seen it.

You should be able to use the Support option in the menu to request an appeal. That said, most appeals are not granted.
