@ staticshadow. i understand what you're saying, but not sure i agree that someone may be using assistance by taking(thinking) a "long pause." as i've been accused of this by making a good move after taking time to think. but isn't this the basis of the game. many times i've made bad moves(rather every move i make) by playing too quickly, then, take a long think and assess the imbalances (i.e. development, minor piece battle, space, king position, initiative, pawn structure, squares, ranks, files, and diagonals) and develop and plan and at this point begin to play stronger. also, when playing online it is easily to get distracted by the dog, rapidly boiling water rushing over the edge of the pot, phone call, someone at the door, bathroom visit, reading an article/watching videos on another page etc... it's not like we're playing otb tournaments for prize money.
Can you disable chat during play?
They accused me of cheating me and not let me play tournaments. and that I have lost a lot spartidas and won many , in order for loose and strong players and also there are bad losers , finally I created another nick and I have the same elo but fuck some reputation . a greeting. and USTD moderators first talk to the players ..
Tricksters use pseudonym fictitious names to conceal their identity to use techniques to alter chess games. To be able to play a game of chess by the book, it demands skill, which comes from hard training and practice. When you use a pseudo name, you obviously want to stay anonymous. So maybe pseudo ratings and comments should also stay hidden to the general public.
Some people use a form of their real name; others use a nickname or an alias. It is all fine, as long as people know which Jane or John is who. One way or another, if people know you as a chess player, than they probable know your real name and can search a chess federation to find your historical chess rating. Who knows, if your chess federation is available in your profile, people might even enjoy viewing your games, hoping that you have played them sincerely on this site.
There will always be a chess trickster trying to chisel out a chess game. It is so ironic to have miracle chiselers trying to hone our chess skills.
