I am one of your friends and how can you be a participant of chess.com

you hgave an award participant

Me too!

They are probably not real people, but "bots" meant to artificially raise certain players.

How can you have over 1500 friends with less profile visits than me? I believe I know what they did. There is a strategy with "friend codes" or whatever they are called. If you put a user's friend code into something, they get automatically friended. Then you keep doing random things and you end up with tons of friends.

Remember, that's a bannable offense.

Tell me the secret how you did it🤗

Check my earlier posts.

So you did do that? There is a forum on this by @Scemer I believe discussing this. They were banned because of this.

So prepare to get banned.

these are not friends. These are names on a list that you will never interact with

I keep getting tons of these requests all of a sudden:

No idea. It can't be my charm!
