[crystal sequoia]

[arctic anvil]

[crystal sequoia]

lmao

[primal plover]

Don’t you have school

[remote fjord]

in 4 hours???? that's too long

[primal plover]

I’m in school during that time 💀

[arctic anvil]

I love it when it says "starts 14 days ago"

[crystal sequoia]

sorry, we'll try to have these at different times or have more of those

[dim granite]

ill just wake up at 3am if i can wake up

[cunning halo]

I probably won't be promoting to bishops in this arena (because time is very valuable) but that's a good thing to practice anyway

[river imp]

I am busy right now, so its good for me

[arctic anvil]

Good idea

[primal plover]

WHAT YOURE 1800+???

DANG

[brisk axle]

No💀

[arctic anvil]

Yeah

[primal plover]

how’s

Bruh I’m 702 rapid

[arctic anvil]

Last arena went terrible

[dim granite]

why?

what happened

[arctic anvil]

Because I lost too many games

[primal plover]

Okg

Omg

[dim granite]

whos the highest rated who joined

[primal plover]

2300

[river imp]

Don't worry, we all starts with 800

[sand fossil]

same, im just gonna sleep at 12:00 AM and have 1.5 hours of sleep

[crystal sequoia]

[primal plover]

I started with 400 bro

[crystal sequoia]

I started with 700

[normal slate]

Same

[arctic anvil]

Idk but it is rating based anyway

[dim granite]

me too

[cunning halo]

On the last arena I was 1450~ blitz
Now I'm 1617

[primal plover]

Welp I’ll just work harder lol

[river imp]

Rating are scary

[primal plover]

How is bro 2300

[crystal sequoia]

I think highest rated one who joined so far was Sans

[dim granite]

yeah thats fair

[cunning halo]

@crystal sequoia are you gonna play on the arena?

[lilac ridge]

so what if someone qualifies for top 20and u find that their accuracy is much higher than normal? will the reward be given to the 21st person?

[timber bison]

pairings are rating based so it'll be tough for everyone probably

[crystal sequoia]

probably! @cunning halo

[arctic anvil]

Fair play checks will be done

[primal plover]

Are there ever tournaments in weekends

[crystal sequoia]

our fair play team will close their account if they were cheating, it's not just about accuracy. and yes! last arena's top three were originally 2nd, 4th and 5th place respectively lol

[brisk axle]

Can i join now or gotta wait?

[cunning halo]

That's cool

[quiet geyser]

[brisk axle]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[lilac ridge]

why does the second place not get 2 months , why do they get the same treatment as 3rd?

[cunning halo]

I think I'm gonna play in focus mode this time (without knowing my opponents ratings)

[proven crag]

Would that happen automatically or should I do something to make it happen?

[dim granite]

Are members with already memberships eligible or we can give it to the next/random person

[vivid forge]

That link doesnt show me anything

[ornate tusk]

1 am is fine 2 am here

[boreal forge]

[dim granite]

hi

[timber bison]

[robust palm]

[crystal sequoia]

[restive prairie]

Yes

[timber bison]

[crystal sequoia]

CHECK #server-announcements

[dull mountain]

[crystal sequoia]

I WROTE IT ALL DOWN

[arctic anvil]

Arena starts at 8pm for me so bascially perfect time

[dim granite]

Yes

[crystal sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-conspiracy-tin-foil-hat-gif-20017163

[ornate tusk]

[alpine stone]

Hey if I click on the link, I see my last game

[primal plover]

I’ll be crushed but yeah

[crystal sequoia]

@primal plover last week our 4th place was like 800

[stuck kite]

how to join?

[crystal sequoia]

check pins

[alpine stone]

Mobile my laptop is charging and is dead

[dim granite]

hope to see that thanks

[arctic anvil]

We need a bot who spams pin to every question

[dull mountain]

thats cool, i hope 800 becomes first this time

[lilac ridge]

does one need to have the "trusted" title to be a part?

[crystal sequoia]

try it on laptop later1 😄

[dim granite]

Code it in @sharp surge lol

[crystal sequoia]

anyone can play, only connected accounts can win prizes. no need to be trusted

just connected

[dim granite]

How do you know if they are connected

Admin Power?

[crystal sequoia]

#👾〡bot-guide

[dull mountain]

no bad power

[crystal sequoia]

also I'll dm you on chess.com asking for your discord name

[dull mountain]

grils are evil agree?

[crystal sequoia]

then I'll check your discord account

[alpine stone]

Alrighty

[dim granite]

Some people connnect their chess.com to their friends accouns and pretend to be 2800

[crystal sequoia]

[crystal sequoia]

Well, their friend will get free diamond

[dim granite]

did any titled players play tho

[dull mountain]

wait what if i need to pee in between tournament

[crystal sequoia]

nope

[dim granite]

Untitled Friday

[arctic anvil]

Mobile

[swift marten]

and still no swiss

[dim granite]

just get a diaper

[crystal sequoia]

it's an hour long arena, games only start once you click "next game"

[dull mountain]

mobile users cant play

[crystal sequoia]

@swift marten eventually we'll get some swiss ones here too

[dim granite]

can

[crystal sequoia]

yes they can

[arctic anvil]

?

[dull mountain]

thats hot

[swift marten]

ouw

[crystal sequoia]

you just acn't register there

[swift marten]

I like that

[lilac ridge]

can u tell me the rating of the last 3 winners so i can get the idea?

[dim granite]

Go to tournament sections in mobile

[ornate tusk]

playing on mobile is so annoying

[dull mountain]

i mean app

[crystal sequoia]

check the previous links on #server-announcements or the #1076958515215728681 pins

[dim granite]

yeah u can

theres a tournaments section

[dull mountain]

what to search

we cant search in app

[arctic anvil]

In every arena is always an 800 in the top 3 so I assume it will be the same here

[dim granite]

let me show u on mobile

[crystal sequoia]

3rd place was 1085

thing is, you just need to play a lot of games

[dim granite]

cant send images here so #💬〡general-off-topic @dull mountain

[crystal sequoia]

and try to win them in streaks

[dull mountain]

bro you are perry the platypus

[ornate tusk]

which most of us cant do

[arctic anvil]

Just win and play fast

[crystal sequoia]

tw light mode

[crystal sequoia]

then you can win a random diamond just by participating

[arctic anvil]

Imagine a win streak in the arena

[restive prairie]

higher rated means longer games and therefore less games to play and therefore less points D:

[tepid grove]

Where is the link of arena? (Sorry if already have)

[crystal sequoia]

couldnt be me

[crystal sequoia]

[tepid grove]

Okay

[ornate tusk]

as a very unlucky person I just wanna cry

[arctic anvil]

I only have losing streaks

[crystal sequoia]

last dude who won also said that

[dim granite]

Win Streak scam they give so much

[ornate tusk]

ok now my hopes are up

[dim granite]

At like 10th win streak you get extra 10 pts

[crystal sequoia]

plus it's cool and fun and if you play it every friday and you get here early and play during the whole arena you'll probably win at least a role eventually

[frank crow]

3 am 💀

[dim granite]

which is equal to 5 extra wins

[dim granite]

same

[crystal sequoia]

plus a bunch of ppl cheat so even if you're not on top 5 you might get there after fair play checks

[quartz hemlock]

I'll probably lose on time cuz blitz sucks

[sonic bough]

I cannot join

[potent orbit]

Imagine being a cheater

[crystal sequoia]

also sorry for ppl in Asia for the timezone issue I promise I'll do one for yall

[sonic bough]

[arctic anvil]

Do we get a role if we participate in every arena each week of the year but never win any role?

[swift pier]

😂😂

[crystal sequoia]

1h before tourney the sign ups open.

plus you gotta join via pc/laptop

[sonic bough]

But at 12 30 is the game for me

[crystal sequoia]

NGL, GREAT IDEA

[sonic bough]

Am

[crystal sequoia]

Achievement - WEEKLY L

[lilac ridge]

AN 1100 GOT THIRD PLACE?/

[crystal sequoia]

it's rating based pairing!

you just need to play a lot of games

[arctic anvil]

[lilac ridge]

isnt there a cap of 8 games?

[crystal sequoia]

minimum 8

[dim granite]

1100 vs 1100 probability of winning = 2000 vs 2000 probability of winning

when math becomes useful

[crystal sequoia]

to win prizes

[potent orbit]

Great, that way i won't get anihilated so quickly

[crystal sequoia]

you get more points per win if you're on a winning streak

[dim granite]

Hope there arent enough players then they can pair me with 500

[sonic bough]

Will this be there every week at the same time

[dim granite]

i think so

[lilac ridge]

but - that is so unbalanced
a 600 can keep winning games and his games will obv be faster than a 2000

[sonic bough]

Oh

[arctic anvil]

Time will change probably

[swift marten]

@restive prairie that's exactly why this should be a swiss tournament

[crystal sequoia]

not necessarily, might be a bit earlier starting next week ~~cause I have uni ~~but it will be fridays. we'll try to make some other ones tho

[dim granite]

sometimes 600s dont resign and take longer

so it depends

[sonic bough]

Nice

[crystal sequoia]

but most of our players are U1000

[lilac ridge]

but the opponents blunder quick

[ornate tusk]

you have no idea how fast 2000+ games end(sometimes)

[crystal sequoia]

we'll have swiss eventually

and that will attract more higher rated players

[arctic anvil]

True

[lilac ridge]

i do have , they usually end in time bias

[dim granite]

ooh

[arctic anvil]

Some tryhards

[crystal sequoia]

this format attracts lower rated players, which is most of discord (no offense, I'm also there)

[dim granite]

Swiss is titled tueday

[crystal sequoia]

we're just making different events for different players, starting out with this arena to see if you guys are interested

[dim granite]

Arena is Discord Friday

[arctic anvil]

Freaky Friday

[lilac ridge]

Fake-FIDE Friday

[crystal sequoia]

keep the names coming im honestly looking for a better one than "weekly arena"

[swift marten]

weekly diamonds

[arctic anvil]

We need a ff name for sure

[lilac ridge]

yes

[ornate tusk]

totally

[restive prairie]

@crystal sequoia are we allowed to have secondary accounts

[potent orbit]

f-file friday

[full ridge]

It's at 12.30.am? 💀

[lilac ridge]

for u yes

[crystal sequoia]

it needs to be the account connected to your discord. plus https://support.chess.com/article/596-can-i-have-multiple-accounts

[restive prairie]

mhm , and I won't get this support approval in 4h , right?

[crystal sequoia]

we'll try to make arenas and tourneys in other times, sorry, it will be a bit earlier starting next week

[crystal sequoia]

no.

[full ridge]

My mom will scold me for being up late 💀

[restive prairie]

unfortunate

[crystal sequoia]

we detect sandbagging ya know

[lilac ridge]

theyll be schedulling diff times , so maybe next week?

[restive prairie]

what is even sandbagging

[swift marten]

lowering your rating to win easierly

[full ridge]

I will try this time too

[lilac ridge]

u fill sand in a bag and beat the sh!t out of it

[restive prairie]

Ok

[crystal sequoia]

https://support.chess.com/article/208-what-is-a-sandbagger

[swift marten]

which in that case is a clear easy way to win

[crystal sequoia]

yall really need to go through the support.chess.com website it has a lot of stuff

lmfao

[vestal elm]

Its midnight time for india😭

[lilac ridge]

ok question ,
how is it diff from rating manipulation?

[full ridge]

Yes

[vestal elm]

bad luck

[crystal sequoia]

usually you have "control" of two accounts when rating manipulation is going on, as far as I understand. aka I'm playing a friend or another account I own

[lilac ridge]

so rating manipulation means boosting an account
and sandbagging mean dropping an acc ?

[crystal sequoia]

sandbagging is rating manipulation, but there are many other rating manipulation techniques

[unborn onyx]

Hi

[arctic anvil]

Hey

[crystal sequoia]

rating manipulation is intentionally changing your acc rating so it doesn't reflect the truth

[unborn onyx]

I have two accounts I am allowed to use either one right

[vestal elm]

10 dollars for 40 mins???

[crystal sequoia]

being boosting or dropping. sandbagging is dropping.

[unborn onyx]

Ya lol

[vestal elm]

Very expensive

[edgy scarab]

Can anyone specify the timings

[lilac ridge]

lemme not dive deeper into that rabbit hole

[crystal sequoia]

only the one connected to your discord

[crystal sequoia]

pinned here

it shows your timezone

[unborn onyx]

Can I disconnect and reconnect

[crystal sequoia]

Next arena is today <t:1677265200> and registrations start <t:1677261600:R>

[unborn onyx]

I want to use a private acc

[crystal sequoia]

sure

[edgy scarab]

Got it

[unborn onyx]

So disconnect and reconnect?

[arctic anvil]

Just connect the private account to your Discord then

[unborn onyx]

K

Alr

[crystal sequoia]

also, you can't win diamond

[edgy scarab]

It's literally midnight 💀

[crystal sequoia]

specifically

[queen grotto]

is the pairing according to the blitz rating?
what if i dont play blitz much and my rapid rating is x2 the blitz

[crystal sequoia]

cause you have it for life lol

[unborn onyx]

You said I could gift it to someone

🙄

[vestal elm]

Where are you from???

[crystal sequoia]

I said I was gonna check

[edgy scarab]

India

[unborn onyx]

K

[crystal sequoia]

you need a minimum amount of games to join any arena

[vestal elm]

a re bc rat ke 12 baje kon khelega chess

[crystal sequoia]

keep it in english pls guys

[arctic anvil]

That's a smart decision

[crystal sequoia]

smarr

[vestal elm]

Sry

[crystal sequoia]

np

[arctic anvil]

Very smarr

[crystal sequoia]

we'll try to have some better times in other tourneys, sorry this one is so late for you guys

[full ridge]

How can i check if I have linked my accounts discord and chess. Com

[crystal sequoia]

your name is orange

😄

But you can also do /profile

or /puzzle or any albert command haha

if it works, you're connected. also click on your profile and check your roles

[queen grotto]

i played a lot of blitz when i was much worse but then i stopped and played rapid only.
so therefore my skill is inequivalent to my current blitz elo.

[edgy scarab]

Me prolly i literally have nothing else to do, might just play chess

[full ridge]

Okay thank you

[vestal elm]

Nice i have boards😭

[edgy scarab]

Or win

[crystal sequoia]

if you don't cheat, you'll be ok. if you're used to playing rapid, no increment blitz might also be a problem for you lol

[queen grotto]

alright thanks

[crystal sequoia]

fair play doesn't close accounts lightly. connect your account if you want to win anything tho

[lilac ridge]

and thats why blitz is the best gamemode

[crystal sequoia]

cap, it's rapid, but blitz close second

[lilac ridge]

controversial

[vestal elm]

1 day game best

[ornate tusk]

agreed rapid is best

[arctic anvil]

Very controversial

[full ridge]

I my account description it says 500-999 rated but I am 1051 rated rapid which rating does it display???

[lilac ridge]

i respect your opinion

[crystal sequoia]

anyway, gotta update you guys' game vs danny #👨〡danny-role

[crystal sequoia]

#❓〡server-faq

(blitz)

[lilac ridge]

its blitz rating

[arctic anvil]

Blitz > daily > rapid > ... > bullet

[unborn onyx]

Wait who are you gonna ask abt the gifting

[lilac ridge]

blitz>rapid>bullet idk what else exists

[full ridge]

Okay thanks

[unborn onyx]

Cap

[crystal sequoia]

director in the community team why

[unborn onyx]

Idk

[arctic anvil]

I just wanted to make sure bullet is the worst no matter what

[lilac ridge]

i disrespectfully disagree on whatever views u have

[unborn onyx]

Cuz I kinda need to know b4 the tournament

[edgy scarab]

Good luck on that one, don't stress it

[unborn onyx]

Bruh

My ratings are in the order of bullet, blitz, rapid

[vestal elm]

thenk you😘

[unborn onyx]

Fax

[lilac ridge]

same boi , same

[unborn onyx]

200 ratings points between each

[lilac ridge]

mine is a 800 rating difference not too big

[unborn onyx]

And my blitz is 2609💀

[full ridge]

I haven't even dared to play bullet yet💀

[edgy scarab]

I might be the highest rated blitz pleyer here

[unborn onyx]

Lmaoooo

[edgy scarab]

might

[crystal sequoia]

it's probably a no, tho. this is the community arena, it's not supposed to be a way for titled players to get a weekly diamond to give out

[unborn onyx]

Noooooooooooo

I'll play for fun prob and see what happens

[crystal sequoia]

it's a way to encourage lower rated players to play chess

[lilac ridge]

doesnt that mean ull go through the most too?

[unborn onyx]

Cuz a few friends are coming and they'll play too

[crystal sequoia]

yeah just got a notification, it's a no bud lol

[unborn onyx]

What's your rating

[unborn onyx]

Dam

[edgy scarab]

Sick, i didn't get my title yet, lemme just win a bunch before I get it 😋

[crystal sequoia]

you can play, you just won't win diamond. nor any other titled players.

[unborn onyx]

Alr I won't play

[edgy scarab]

2450ish

[crystal sequoia]

and you can't give it to friends

[unborn onyx]

F

[crystal sequoia]

it's gotta be your own account

[unborn onyx]

Alr

[arctic anvil]

Btw what if a mod wins?

[unborn onyx]

Lmao

[lilac ridge]

so titled players dont get the prize? sick

[crystal sequoia]

titled players already have life-long diamond

[edgy scarab]

I didn't get it yet

[lilac ridge]

whahahahaha???//

[arctic anvil]

You didn't know?

[unborn onyx]

You have to play otb to get title

[lilac ridge]

nope

[edgy scarab]

Yeah

I have AICF ratings

[unborn onyx]

What is aicf

Can you get a national title with that

[crystal sequoia]

don't think you can gift an arena prize to any other accounts as far as I know, BUT I'll ask if we can open that to hardworking volunteers of the community

[unborn onyx]

😭😭😭😭

[edgy scarab]

All India chess federation

[unborn onyx]

Oh

Micr

Nice

[edgy scarab]

And u cannot get titles

With that

[unborn onyx]

F

[edgy scarab]

I am gonna be playing the at a fide qual tournament soon

I have like 2000 on fide online arena

But that was a while back tho 💀

[restive prairie]

how does the rating based matchmaking work

[lilac ridge]

ull get paired with people with similar ratings like u

[restive prairie]

like what if only far higher or lower are available

[lilac ridge]

doesnt matter how many games u or they have won

[arctic anvil]

Pinned message

[lilac ridge]

thats not gonna happen

[restive prairie]

like if the entire tournament consists of 800 and there is one 1500

what would happen

[lilac ridge]

its a easy dub for the 1500 then

ull be forced into a match probably , or maybe ull have to wait for higher rated players to join in

but the odds of that are LOW

[restive prairie]

that is what i am wondering about

[lilac ridge]

i dont think the tournament favors higher rated players anyways , so they'll most likely be suffering

[arctic anvil]

It would surprise me to see a 2k+ in the top 3

[lilac ridge]

there was a 2400 last time

and a 2000

maybe they got to that rating while playing

who knows

[full ridge]

How many 800s are here

[lilac ridge]

time shall tell lol

[restive prairie]

the 2000 was 1600 when the tournament started

bruh

[lilac ridge]

lmao , imagine the amount of matches

40+ ish?

[violet kelp]

will the timings of the tournament be different next week?

[lilac ridge]

hopefully

[violet kelp]

Cuz the tournament is at 12.30 am in my time

[full ridge]

Same

[dusty void]

And u found me

[lilac ridge]

u have the highest odds actually lol

[worn folio]

The tournament is too late for me😖

[lilac ridge]

assuming your rating is <500 your games will be fastest , so if u play better u have the most likelyhood of winning

[full ridge]

I haven't played any 3min match only 5 min and 10min💀

[worn folio]

Is it possible to win with rating of 1600

[lilac ridge]

start preparing!

[lilac ridge]

the winner last time was 1600 before tournament so yeah

[worn folio]

Or are there just Magnus Carlsens playing for Diamond

[worn folio]

😀

[lilac ridge]

now he is 2000

(btw)

[full ridge]

Yesss

[devout vine]

i wish these were on weekends so i could actually play

[lilac ridge]

well , it is on weekend for indians lol

[worn folio]

Why is my name written in red?

[lilac ridge]

u are suspected to cheat

[worn folio]

😂

[lilac ridge]

u thinking i am joking?

[crystal sequoia]

you have the trusted role 😄

[worn folio]

It means I'm trusted? I see in my profile it says trusted.

[crystal sequoia]

check #❓〡server-faq or #👾〡bot-guide

means you can stream to the server/send pictures

use /trust

[worn folio]

Yeah that is what I was thinking.. wasn't sure

[crystal sequoia]

yes, our third place last week was 1000 ish

arenas are about playing a lot of games haha

[worn folio]

I have never cheated (except in checkers)

Against my uncle

[crystal sequoia]

it's in pinned messages!

Next arena is today <t:1677265200> and registrations start <t:1677261600:R> via this link https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2514713 (only works on pc/laptop, not mobile)

[devout vine]

lmaoo but im in a friday rn

[crystal sequoia]

that shows it in your timezone ^^

[feral hearth]

i wish it was 3+2 lmao my brain dies in the middle game and i start playing random moves

[hidden creek]

imagine hving a chance to win at this 😂

[arctic anvil]

But you have more flagging chances in 3+0

[feral hearth]

ye u right

[river imp]

flagging is op if your opponent is confused during the game

doesn't know what to do to not blunder any pieces

so 3+2 is ehh... not very good option

[royal ridge]

why do u guys make it at 2 😦

i have school 😦

[crystal sequoia]

it shows a different time depending on your time zone

[royal ridge]

how do u do that

ive been seeing it a lot recently

very cool

[crystal sequoia]

sorry, we'll try to change it up now and then but it won't be ideal for everyone we'll try to get a broad idea of everyone's timezones with roles and make new tourneys

it's unix time

https://www.unixtimestamp.com/ get the code here <t:CODE:R>for remaining time

you can do it without anything in the closing > or you can add :f, :F, :D, :t, :T, or :R before >

:R> is remaining time

[royal ridge]

alright thanks

[royal ridge]

fair enough

[elfin jetty]

Guys, when exactly is the arena starting?

You won't be able to join the arena if you're on mobile?

[crystal sequoia]

I think you can, but it's harder

it starts in 3 hours, you can check pinned messages for a countdown @elfin jetty

[elfin jetty]

I think we can use the browser on mobile. That would work. Yeah and i just took a look at the countdown in the website. Thank you so much!

[waxen sierra]

bruhge

next time plz announce a bit more beforehand

or put it later in the day

[lost furnace]

Do the timings for these change every new arena or are they usually around the same time?

[quartz hemlock]

it was mentioned before somewhere

[crystal sequoia]

I ANNOUNCED IT LAST WEEK!

[elfin jetty]

To be honest, most of the games that I play after 11 PM, i lose those games by abandonment. Guess why? I sleep automatically after 11 PM if I play chess,haha! Let's see if i can participate today

[raw gazelle]

why is that?

[viscid fjord]

is it rated?

[elfin jetty]

I mean 11 PM is my sleep time, usually

Because of most of the times I wake up earlier at 4 AM

[raw gazelle]

what like u wake up before its 4 am?

i dont get it

[elfin jetty]

Well, I usually wake up around 4-5 AM so it gets dizzy after 11 PM and i won't be able to concentrate and will doze off eventually

[swift marten]

it is @viscid fjord

[elfin jetty]

2 more hours to go

[raw gazelle]

holy

that means u sleep like 5 - 6 hours everyday

[elfin jetty]

If i miss this one, next is the Asian arena

[raw gazelle]

thats not healthy

isnt the minimum like 7

[elfin jetty]

Gotta do hard work man. I have some high aims in chess

[raw gazelle]

sometimes its better to let go than to hold on - someone i dont know

[swift marten]

me and my 3-4hrs

[raw gazelle]

fix your sleep schedule

[swift marten]

I'd love to

[raw gazelle]

well then whats stopping you?

go do it

[sonic bough]

How to apply for tournament

[crystal sequoia]

[elfin jetty]

Lol

[arctic tulip]

@crystal sequoia tournament is for all ratings right?

alr thanks

[swift marten]

by the way could it become unrated at some point ? because losing points against like sangbagging people that won't get banned or idk what can be irritating

[elfin jetty]

Seems like they'll go through all the fair play checks before announcing the results. So cheaters will get banned

30 more seconds

[crystal sequoia]

Registrations are open https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2514713 😄 @here

[cunning halo]

here

[arctic anvil]

One hour

[elfin jetty]

Let's gooo

[cunning halo]

[elfin jetty]

One hour to go so I'll go grind some bullet lmao

[maiden lichen]

whats sandbagging

[crystal sequoia]

https://support.chess.com/article/208-what-is-a-sandbagger

[elfin jetty]

sandbagging = intentionally losing (often with a secondary account) to play against weaker players. It's obviously forbidden on chess.com.

[timber bison]

are there measures against sandbaggers?

[crystal sequoia]

yep

[elfin jetty]

Yessir

[crystal sequoia]

we'll check the whole arena

[timber bison]

alr nice

[elfin jetty]

Ayo we have a 2600 💀

[quartz hemlock]

@arctic tulip

[arctic tulip]

uhh

[elfin jetty]

Woah

My man's gonna get some yellow role today

[quartz hemlock]

tokyo ghoul pfp

[arctic tulip]

I’m not in my best form rn so don’t think so

[crystal sequoia]

pairs are rating based

[quartz hemlock]

believ in yourself

[elfin jetty]

Yeah but we don't have much 2600s

[crystal sequoia]

believ

[arctic tulip]

[crystal sequoia]

fair enough lol

[elfin jetty]

Let's see if i get paired with anitta

She's 200 points higher than me anyway

[quartz hemlock]

ive been doing that finger knack thingie irl ever since i watched tokyo ghoul LOL

[arctic tulip]

omg same

it’s so satisfying to watch

[quartz hemlock]

[crystal sequoia]

how are you 1200 puzzles 600 rapid but 2600 blitz

[arctic tulip]

I don’t play rapid

*much

[crystal sequoia]

first person I see that has a worse puzzle rating than everything else ngl

[arctic tulip]

I was lichess user first

[crystal sequoia]

fair enough lol

[arctic tulip]

I had a high rating but lost that account

[elfin jetty]

There's a "100" rated player lol. He's at the floor

[maiden lichen]

can you play on a new account

[hazy shadow]

I'm 1000 rapid and 1400 puzzle but I don't play blitz much so I have a low rating which isn't considered sandbagging right?

[elfin jetty]

Please god keep me awake until the arena ends

[timber bison]

no

[hazy shadow]

Ok fs, thnx

[quartz hemlock]

@elfin jetty also hyped for the last aot season?

[elfin jetty]

Yeah

Lol

[quartz hemlock]

cant wait

10 years since season 1

[swift marten]

the highest rated of the arena is a cheater already

[fair juniper]

The Diamond Is MINEEEE

[ocean light]

rip Im like the 4th lowest rated in there

[elfin jetty]

Bruh

He's not a cheater

[ocean light]

no

[elfin jetty]

Not every 2500+s are cheaters

[swift marten]

look at the number of games

the puzzle rating

:')

[quartz hemlock]

theres a guy from north korea too LOL

[swift marten]

can't make that more obvious

[elfin jetty]

That poor man literally explained a minute ago

[quaint delta]

When does it start?

[hybrid dew]

Damn I can't make it to the tournament today

I'm sad

[quartz hemlock]

did you read the rules. dont accuse of cheatings bruv

[maiden lichen]

can new accounts play ???

[hybrid dew]

Win it and gift it to me

[hybrid dew]

Yep

[fair juniper]

lol if i win im keeping it lmao

[hybrid dew]

But you already have diamond

[ocean light]

[quaint delta]

I remember you from last tournament i want you to win

[fair juniper]

[swift marten]

https://www.chess.com/member/thatromanianchessnerdyy

[fair juniper]

if anyone somehow gets 27 imma laugh

[hybrid dew]

If sans wins then I'll pay him on PayPal whatever is left on my account (I think it's around the 0.2 dollars)

[quartz hemlock]

lol i played this guy

[crystal sequoia]

minimum 10 games I believe? we will do fair play checks tho

[swift marten]

https://www.chess.com/member/wasreyderp

[crystal sequoia]

rooting for you ngl

[quartz hemlock]

remove 1 y from his nickname and that account is banned for cheating...

[swift marten]

another one

[fair juniper]

@crystal sequoia can we just kick out the brand new accts that are obiously trolls

[ocean light]

some people can just resign cant they

[swift marten]

bruh

[maiden lichen]

thx

[swift marten]

so many potential cheaters in the top

[quartz hemlock]

sans is playing the potato variation lol

[swift marten]

disgusting

[hybrid dew]

Idk man magnuscaloson69 looks valid ngl

[quartz hemlock]

@fair juniper nice 🥔 variation

[fair juniper]

XD

[midnight stag]

1--%

[quartz hemlock]

[fair juniper]

lmao i always play it

[elfin jetty]

K finally we have more 1200s

[hybrid dew]

When the potato variation meet the carrot variation

[midnight stag]

Are the first matches based off of elo?

[hybrid dew]

Every match

[quartz hemlock]

yes

[midnight stag]

Try the Potato opening- Communist Variation

[swift marten]

tips : check your opponent's profile every match

just resign if he is sus

so you don't lose time

[crystal sequoia]

terrible advice

[quartz hemlock]

not playing anymore anitta?

[swift marten]

👀

[quartz hemlock]

[crystal sequoia]

Not sure

[quartz hemlock]

[night marten]

more than 20 players with ratings under 600: sus

[chrome lion]

how do i disconnect an old chess account and add a new one to discord ? @crystal sequoia

[quartz hemlock]

69 players

stop the count!

nooooooo 70

[fair juniper]

heh welp this isnt gonna go well for me
https://www.chess.com/member/marzannny

my first aponent i assume

can get 90% in 100 moves

[swift marten]

@crystal sequoia isn't it possible to only let trusted people join the arena to limit the new accounts and cheaters ?

[midnight stag]

Believe that the 2600 will play the Bongclould

[crystal sequoia]

I told you already we're working on it, for now, it's prize eligibility

[ocean light]

smh lemme be I dont play blitz

[swift marten]

like by just making the channels only visible by the trusted or idk

ow okay

[crystal sequoia]

we WILL check it all

don't worry

[quartz hemlock]

[midnight stag]

What about me???

I played a lot

[crystal sequoia]

if you play a cheater, they won't win anything, it's as if you didn't play them

[midnight stag]

For a while

just joined the server

[swift marten]

no

because it makes us lose time against them

[midnight stag]

🤔

[swift marten]

or win streak

[crystal sequoia]

and they'll get banned, sorry, we can't make it so they can't join

everyone can join

[swift marten]

:(

[brisk axle]

I have worse

[crystal sequoia]

h o w

[brisk axle]

586

[elfin jetty]

Wait so can we still join the thing

[timber bison]

thing is we'll lose win streak and get less points

[crystal sequoia]

yep

[elfin jetty]

Ok thanks

[night marten]

people who don't play blitz should have 1200 rating? 🙂

[crystal sequoia]

https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2514713

[brisk axle]

Oh than everything

[elfin jetty]

Imma join rn

[crystal sequoia]

join the thing !!

free diamond for four users

[brisk axle]

I thought u said everyone

[onyx monolith]

sus

[elfin jetty]

🔥

[crystal sequoia]

role for 20 users, cooler role for 5

[brisk axle]

I told someone that the thing was for the discord hope the join the discord

[night marten]

cooler role AND permanent achievement for 5

[elfin jetty]

37 more min

[ocean light]

I dont have 1200 rating

[midnight stag]

Bro Im like 380 and my accuracy is about as good as a rock

[brisk axle]

Anitta are u confirmed playing

[elfin jetty]

@crystal sequoia why did you leave the arena

[wanton dove]

why are you like so

like you seem like you are caring way too much about whos gonna play

if they r cheating they'll be banned lol

[elfin jetty]

Is this just 3min

[late crane]

there 2600 elo players 💀💀💀

[onyx monolith]

if someone is 2600 in blitz, but loses to 700s in rapid, something is weird there

[fair juniper]

and idc if they get banned they will still win games and cause people like me to drop lower in the points

[swift marten]

the issue is about losing win streak against them

[midnight stag]

Bro they are fine

[midnight stag]

IM level possibly???

[crystal sequoia]

might rejoin

@fair juniper no public accusations

[elfin jetty]

👍

[crystal sequoia]

for real I'm not joking you'll end up locked out of the server

[fair juniper]

[night marten]

I get that, and having a rating under 600 is possible. But at this point we have almost 20 players under 400. Surely you must be losing on purpose to get under 400 rating.

[crystal sequoia]

it's on the rules

read rules

[midnight stag]

YESSIR!

[crystal sequoia]

[elfin jetty]

does the time thing say it goes for an hour or a day i cant tell

[brisk axle]

No I'm just really bad

[elfin jetty]

sorry for the dumb question

[crystal sequoia]

1 hour long arena

not dumb at all

[elfin jetty]

thanks

[crystal sequoia]

it starts in like 35 min

[night marten]

it goes on for a week actually

[elfin jetty]

ya

[midnight stag]

Bro I don't play rapid so it's 669 but my blitz is 380 😭

[elfin jetty]

lol

[quartz hemlock]

crazy how you turned that game around @fair juniper

you were losing so hard

[dull mountain]

[midnight stag]

Depends on the Bongclould

[elfin jetty]

Use the browser in mobile

[fair juniper]

[elfin jetty]

[brisk axle]

+google account probably, if you linked that to your chess.com account

[fair juniper]

i know that but i dont see that same ads and its not even the google ads API used by chesscom

i aint searching that wierd stuff lmao

[elfin jetty]

lol

[quartz hemlock]

if your google account is linked, your google data and advertisement info is linked

[elfin jetty]

how long do we get diamond for if we win?

[quartz hemlock]

anyways no you cant change ads anyways

[quartz hemlock]

[crystal sequoia]

[fair juniper]

Prizes
🥇 3 months of Diamond
🥈 1 month of Diamond
🥉 1 month of Diamond

+ 1 month of DIAMOND for a random participant who didn't get top three, but played at least 8 games during the Arena!

[feral hearth]

[elfin jetty]

oh shoot i only saw the last one with the link 💀

[feral hearth]

no chance fr

[crystal sequoia]

+ 1 month of DIAMOND for a random participant who didn't get top three, but played at least 8 games during the Arena!

AND pairings are rate based

[quartz hemlock]

i only see 103 players

[crystal sequoia]

[quartz hemlock]

[fair juniper]

rating dont matter in arena btw its rating based machmaking so youll play someone your elo or close

[feral hearth]

[crystal sequoia]

and you gotta play quickly and try to win in streaks

[crystal sequoia]

!!

third place last week was 1000 rated

[elfin jetty]

[feral hearth]

oh mb i thought it was rank based

[quartz hemlock]

[elfin jetty]

now i actually have a chance lmao
