Chess.com encourages players to be kind and show good sportsmanship. Our Fair Play policy expects that players will not...
- intentionally disconnect during games
- stall to make opponents wait unnecessarily
- frivolously abort games because they don't want to play black, etc. (Note that we have now implemented a limit on the frequency with which users may abort games; please Abort only when necessary. Also see below.)
If your account is flagged for habitually breaking this policy, your play will be restricted, requiring you to wait 5 minutes between games (including aborted games).
i keep having to wait 5 minutes every time someone aborts on me and between every game. and i have done nothing wrong! there must be some kind of mistake
