You have to make your first move quickly and you can't take too long on a move before the first 10 moves are played.

Add him as a friend and see if that helps. Or challenge him instead.

In order for it to dissapear I think you need to play 10 games in every variant, and on bullet blitz and rapid. It doesn't matter if you have played 10.000 blitz games, if you have never played ten KOth games you can't challenge premium members

I am a 1687 and they are banning me from playing against virtually ANY player rated 2000+! What a madness!

Can somebody please tell me what this means! I get sometimes this notification  from chess.com on my display:  “PN_OFFLINE_CHALLENGE_REMOVED”

Second line is this:” offline_challenge_notification_variant_min “

Please if somebody else also got it, will you explain me in symple english what does it mean. Thank you very much!!!

 

 

It's probably just a notification that hasn't been translated yet and involved with someone sending you an offline challenge and canceling it before you got to it.

Bug still active.
I got 26k games, 3+0 mainly. I play about 10-20 games on an evening with 3+0, still cannot accept a 3+0 invitation. (notice: I do fullfill the rating deviation in blitz!)

Thanks

It might be because you haven’t played a whole bunch of rapid games. Titled and higher rated players probably have some kind of protection against cheaters trying to screw with them so that players that have played for a while and played a lot of games can challenge titled players

I've played about 1000 games.  This happens with players near my ranking (about 1000).  It doesn't make sense.  It doesn't happen too often now, but still once in a while.

hello, staff.

where are you? just short of three years and seven titled players visit to show that even they are shut out at times.

during this time i have made the effort to contact staff on the behalf of many members about this issue. anyone following this sees they don't bother with any response. not even a lame, "we're working on it". because that might result in pm's to that staff member from many unhappy members.

every time i think the site can't get worse, it does.

I am well established and not even trying to challenge a titled player! Just trying to click an open ad on the seek graph!

It's possible their seek settings don't match your rating.
