[crystal sequoia]

[restive prairie]

[ocean light]

NO WAY

[late crane]

[tawdry cliff]

[crystal sequoia]

[late crane]

[ocean light]

I wouldve been top 22 if I had time to win last game

[midnight stag]

Free diamond

[wanton dove]

who won diamond?

[ocean light]

from 36th to 22nd

[crystal sequoia]

we don't know yet, we need a FP check

[full ridge]

I need to learn some gambits I think

[brisk axle]

If i scolar mated you I'm sorry but also not sorry

[hazy shadow]

I got 51st because I was hard choking misclicking things with 10 seconds left😭

[dim linden]

i got matched with a 1400 elo player srsly

[sonic bough]

who is gonna get the lucky draw for the diamond?

[wanton dove]

Are you going to roll the winner for the random diamond after fairplay?

[full ridge]

It was fun though

[midnight stag]

I got 158 or something

[novel vale]

well its 4am now i need sleep

[crystal sequoia]

yep

[midnight stag]

do that

[full ridge]

134 th

[onyx monolith]

now I hope a faced a lot of cheaters to get my rating back

[wanton dove]

i blundered my queen because of a misclick in one game but i still won lol

[brisk axle]

I lost most my games only to time

[crystal sequoia]

I mean, I can roll it now, but it will be only if they're ok with fair play

hey maicon omg

[elfin jetty]

bro the most obvious cheated man is 2200 elo account created 2h ago

[late crane]

from 16 to 142

[crystal sequoia]

don't accuse

[full ridge]

I boundered so many time but opponent did not see that

[crystal sequoia]

read our rules

[brisk axle]

I played two people who did very unorthodox openings

[sonic bough]

i was going in first until i started doing many mistakes

[restive prairie]

losses mean no point deduction , right?

[sonic bough]

yeah

[dim linden]

how were the matchings made again?

[full ridge]

Yeah

[hazy shadow]

Imma practice that 3 minute stuff so Im use to it

[timber bison]

I hope the cheaters are punished

[full ridge]

Same

[brisk axle]

Some player the two wide pawns as an opening

[midnight stag]

But rank loss

[full ridge]

It's annoying

[wanton dove]

i was #2nd then lost 1 game bro

[elfin jetty]

not acussing but the guy had 99 accuracy

seems legit

[ocean light]

pro

[full ridge]

How can someone cheat in blitz when computer takes lot of time to show good moves???

[restive prairie]

5 out of 14 games were above 2000 rated against me

[late crane]

if you low elo, you will face low elo players, win more

[restive prairie]

5 minutes is enough to use engine

[elfin jetty]

stockfish is fast

[ocean light]

lmao I had so much fun with my free diamond trial

[full ridge]

Okay

[ocean light]

I even checked my insight

that thig´ng was interesting actually

[brisk axle]

@elfin jetty started so well n got matched with an 800 i then choked on time

[crystal sequoia]

we'll try to get a swiss tourney (higher rated players prefer those) going every week as well. we're trying this out to see if you guys are interested in weekly arenas

1700 ppl in this week's arena vs 269 (nice) last week

[ocean light]

wouldve loved to have diamond rn in the 700-900s instead of when I had free trial in the 500s lol

[quartz hemlock]

@elfin jetty #💬〡general-off-topic message

[brisk axle]

Swiss is just huge pools

[fierce badger]

swiss would be more fair

[quartz hemlock]

LOL

[full ridge]

Near to get better at 3min then

[crystal sequoia]

swiss is like. turn based. like titled tuesday. everyne plays the same amount of games

[fierce badger]

i ran out my clock vs my last opponent in a losing position i kinda feel bad about that

they didnt get the win credit

[elfin jetty]

thats good

tourney in rounds

[ocean light]

uuuu

[timber bison]

actually a swiss tourney would be good rather than arena

[brisk axle]

Smash tornoments used to play with swiss

[restive prairie]

https://www.chess.com/game/live/71006886485

[crystal sequoia]

we'll do swiss too if you guys are this interested lol

swiss reward suggestion: GM title

[crystal sequoia]

[brisk axle]

As long as i can get diamond

[elfin jetty]

swiss best

[crystal sequoia]

GM flair

[onyx monolith]

I want a swiss please

[restive prairie]

that would also attract less "worse" players since they won't be able to win

[quartz hemlock]

[brisk axle]

I don't need to win i just want to play lol

[onyx monolith]

our number 3 doesn't even know what "swiss" is, what a gigachad

[ocean light]

smh just give a GMs account

[brisk axle]

But valid criticism

[timber bison]

pairings were based on rating not points so yeah

most people here could probably beat him

but it is what it is

[onyx monolith]

good for him

[restive prairie]

what is a checkmate

[onyx monolith]

a lot of nice videos to watch with the diamond

[onyx monolith]

I have no idea, but my opponents seem to know it really well

[brisk axle]

https://www.chess.com/live/game/71005065831

Pain

Fun game but pain i lost on time

https://www.chess.com/live/game/71004321687

[full ridge]

I really don't understand how it's possible to get 60 points

[restive prairie]

me neither

I won all games besides last and am more than 10 points away

[full ridge]

I scored just 14 points

6wins 7 loss

[wanton dove]

i got 42

42 or 45 i think

[elfin jetty]

@restive prairie sorry. I would have wanted all those with a higher rating to have a good position. It's a bit unfair that those with a low rating always take the first places, it's easier for them.

[river imp]

This tournament is so hard

bruh

[full ridge]

Yeah

[river imp]

But gg

[ocean light]

damn this arena was fun

[wanton dove]

IM SO TILTED

I ONLY LOST 1 GAME

AND I GET 11TH

[full ridge]

I usually play 5mins so. My current raring might not be correct for 3mins I guess

[ocean light]

unlucky

[restive prairie]

me too

[full ridge]

How many points do we get per win?

[ocean light]

Anitta ik you wont ever see this but a suggestion: 2|1 arena lmao

[quartz hemlock]

[brisk axle]

Ur insane

[quartz hemlock]

1000000 euro

[polar plinth]

[elfin jetty]

,

[quartz hemlock]

[chrome lion]

I got 8th 😦

[quartz hemlock]

@elfin jetty 6th got banned :^)

[crystal sequoia]

[wanton dove]

[wanton dove]

@crystal sequoia why did i lose top 5

[restive prairie]

If you are TorresOrlando , you are actually 6th right now

[ember valve]

[ember valve]

ayy duck

yellow gang

[swift pier]

[ember valve]

wait for announcement

[swift pier]

Okies

[lilac ridge]

Friday 9am PT

(as mentioned by anitta in general)

[ember valve]

yea very nice 3 month prem

ima try to get one too soon in another arena

[swift pier]

congrats!!

[swift pier]

I think u can achieve

ok thanks

[ember valve]

yea

thanks

[river imp]

So who won 1 month premium to random?

also congrats to people who won the arena + a month of free subscription

[restive prairie]

Fair Play Checks need to be finished first

[elfin jetty]

Rip this guy

[fair juniper]

yeah Rest In Pieces

[crystal sequoia]

trying to contact the winner to see if they're on the discord.

[fair juniper]

what happens to it if there not lol

[crystal sequoia]

I roll again

[fair juniper]

fair enough lol

[midnight stag]

what happened to Leaded?

[quartz hemlock]

Rip in pies

[ember valve]

rest in pizza

[swift pier]

😆

[restive prairie]

Fair Play Checks done? @crystal sequoia

[swift marten]

Too many cheaters lmao

[crystal sequoia]

not even close

but bruh

I think we got a clean top 5 at least

finally

[restive prairie]

lmao , from 8th place to 2nd for me

[crystal sequoia]

I don't work with fair play but I think it's almost done. they're doing a great job

at least in regards to like. top spots?

[restive prairie]

1704 players and even if everyone played a single game that would be 1704 games

[swift marten]

😔

Anitta I might have a solution

Isn't it possible to let people join like 3 days before the tournament for like a day then the fairplay team ban/kick the cheaters and new accounts

?

Still would lower the number of cheaters imo

And new players don't create accounts just to play in a discord arena

👀

[spice willow]

Hm

Why tho

Uhm

Ok

[swift marten]

Hmpf

[crystal sequoia]

we're setting smth like this up

minimum of games

[swift marten]

Oh

Beautiful then

[spice willow]

The arena starts in 2 hours?

[crystal sequoia]

yeah lol cause this was insane

[swift marten]

Thank you !

[crystal sequoia]

no no it's every friday

[spice willow]

Mb

How do i register on it?

[crystal sequoia]

yeah we get to see them play, get a sense of their real strength (or if they're sandbagging etc)

[swift marten]

Like 50 rated games necessary?

[spice willow]

Ikr

[crystal sequoia]

I'll post the link in #server-announcements every friday and make an event, registrations always start one hour before the tourney begins! You'll only be eligible to win prizes if you're connected to discord, so go here https://www.chess.com/settings/connected-accounts and click connect to discord and you'll be good to go

😄

should be around 10AM PT duck

maybe 9

[spice willow]

Aight

Ty

[crystal sequoia]

np np

[swift marten]

Well great

When will the new filter method be used ?

[quartz hemlock]

Rip bozo arena lmao

[elfin jetty]

Is the "top 5-weekly arena" role permanent or just for one week?

[quartz hemlock]

Not permanent, I believe 1 month

[elfin jetty]

ohhhhhhh

[swift pier]

I need for lifetime if I make it to top 5 lol

[spice willow]

Why am i <500 rated when im 1373 tho

[crystal sequoia]

#❓〡server-faq

"You suck at blitz" - @crystal sequoia
