newsflash... chess.com is doing research with thier latest bot called 'aniko'. wonder if that has something to do with ANIKO...
Please check out ANIKO.
Sort:
So, how many of you are now playing a game against ANIKO?
I've four on the go at the minute, three with zero moves and one with three moves. At the rate ANIKO moves they're going to be really long games, or I'll end up quiting before it affects my rating.
Another topic on ANIKO.

Looks like I wasn't the only person ANIKO got the attention off.
Will guys ever stop squabbling over women?

How can she do 2800 moves in 3 days?
What moves're u talking 'bout?
If she makes one move every ten seconds, she has to play on this site for three hours each day? Impossible, I think not.
2800 moves / 3 days is only = 92 seconds per move. Even with four games I dont use a minute and a half per move. Maybe why my rating is so low.
Chess.com doing some kins of stress tests on their system..huh??!!
Is it possible to be a bot or something than enables a chess program to "play" here in chess.com?
Leave Aniko alone.
She plays her moves on time and doesn't go on an extended vacation when she starts losing.

Your right... nothing is odd whatsoever. A minute per move average gives her 60 moves in an hour. Let's say she plays for an astonishing 15 hours a day with chess and gets in 900 moves. She only has to set that pace for 3 straight days to get 2700 moves in......
And since most of the games are 3 days per move, this makes perfect sense! Congratulations! (Not sure if you were being sarcastic, but IMO it shows that it's all fine.)
I agree something's wrong... Following that average, she would be 18,75 days in a 30-day month online: more than 3/5 of the month, sitting in a chair, looking at a screen and calculating chess moves.
Somethig doesn' t sound well...
I still think ANIKO could be a program that automatically pairs players against each other. (Game #1 <-----> ANIKO <-----> Game #2)
Why? I don't know. Some sort of research or chess-move database builder, perhaps.
On the other hand, ANIKO's game play does seem fairly human. Games with under 2 or 3 moves take less than 5 seconds of her time. Games with 10+ moves take 15 or more seconds. Occasionally, there is a break of several minutes. (It's easy to make a computer program behave like this - but if so, this is a very elaborate fraud!)
At any rate, I'm sure the crew at Chess.com have it under control. They can't help but be aware of it at this point.
Suppose this is a real person that can play thousands of games at a time. Bouncing her for playing too much chess on a chess website is not only ludicrous, it's also an infringement on a person's basic rights and freedoms (unless they are in some way harming other people, of course).
dunce: As far as I am aware, chess.com awards you no absolute rights nor freedoms to use its services, nor is it required to by any real law that I know of. It's a privately-owned site.
I'm inclined to agree with the rest of your post, though. If it is indeed possible for a single human to play this many games, there should be no reason for removal.
If she's a robot, I'm glad they made her look so nice.

With 2700+ games on the go and still seeking more, something isn't right. When looking for open seeks, I'd like to see a different name than ANIKO on there.

Possibly true. However, the issue of denial-of-service based on discrimination could get a little sticky.
If she (?) gets so many games going that it crashes the server, then that would indeed be grounds to ban her (property damage or whatever). However, it would be discriminatory to ban her for something frivolous, like playing more games than some people think she should.
For the record, if this is a real person, I don't see how she could actually crash the server in this way. Hundreds of thousands of games would likely be needed, or perhaps more. And the staff would see what was happening long before the situation reached critical mass.
Thank you, Mr. Wizard Ozzz!
