[thorny nymph]

wtf

lmao

well being bad is benificial it seems

[austere willow]

[pliant arch]

man I was trying to gift the diamond but ppl kept getting banned

[thorny nymph]

what if u gifted it and then the person got banned

[pliant arch]

you just gotta play a lot

we'd probably reroll, it's a chess.com official gift, not me gifting personally

[lunar saddle]

5|0 > 3|0

[pliant arch]

but we always fair play check ppl

[lunar saddle]

[pliant arch]

before gifting

[modern kraken]

okk

[pliant arch]

true @lunar saddle

[thorny nymph]

well that highly depends on the opponents too

[pliant arch]

well yeah but the pairings are rating based

[hushed ivy]

What timezone?

[pliant arch]

so you'll only play your rating group

that thing shows it in your own timezone

[hushed ivy]

Pkay

Okay*

[pliant arch]

[lunar saddle]

cant handle the stress

[hushed ivy]

Would participate but i have school :(

[jovial carbon]

What's that date

[pliant arch]

@abstract tiger school WHERE

I can't do after school INTERNATIONALLY

there's no such thing

[abstract tiger]

11am no school is available

[pliant arch]

[thorny nymph]

play IN school

[abstract tiger]

But I cant

[jovial carbon]

I got in trouble for playing in class

[pliant arch]

I reacted brilliant but I just have to say as an adult grandma don't do that pay attention and stuff

[lunar saddle]

dont listen to grandma, chess more important

play chess

[pliant arch]

[thorny nymph]

we too did , (when i was in school)

[abstract tiger]

Then change the times every tournament

[thorny nymph]

they did-

[hearty jacinth]

😂 😂 people cheat in a very dumb way and im too lazy to put effort into cheating properly enough to go undetected

[pliant arch]

We DID

lmao

[pliant arch]

chad

[winter isle]

Lmao

[abstract tiger]

It's getting earlier

[lunar saddle]

11/20 cheaters

[pliant arch]

Laukik congratds! pog

[jovial carbon]

The teacher will see me even slightly suspicious and she go to my computer and clowe out my tabs

[pliant arch]

you got diamond lol

[winter isle]

I woke up to be the random guy

[thorny nymph]

oh well , we played otb

[pliant arch]

it was ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get a random person who WAS CONNECTED

and who played more than 8 games

[jovial carbon]

Then my Elo goes down for aborting the game

[pliant arch]

you played exactly 8 games

so congrats

[abstract tiger]

You can't abort

[pliant arch]

[winter isle]

Thanks 😂

[pliant arch]

I rolled like almost 10 people before you

you were the only one who fit the criteria

8 to be exact

[abstract tiger]

I just want to be in a tournament but it's on Friday during school

[thorny nymph]

next time if u face this issue , just message and ill take it upon myself to get the reward

[lunar saddle]

do you know how many total cheaters?

in the full arena

[pliant arch]

I know we were fine tuning the top players, cause of the roles and gifts etc etc, but idk total

[abstract tiger]

How are you changing times

[hearty jacinth]

if ive filled the alt account form, can i play on either account for the arena? ye ik if it has to be just one

[pliant arch]

it's gotta be the account connected to your discord

[thorny nymph]

imagine cheating and not being in top 20
ill let that guy cheat

[hearty jacinth]

ah ok

[pliant arch]

dudes are using that StockFishy

[hearty jacinth]

i can freely change that right? without any repurcussions? 😂

[abstract tiger]

Please tell me how the times change

[lunar saddle]

wdym

[pliant arch]

@hearty jacinth if your accounts ratings are too different, that's sandbagging

[abstract tiger]

For tournament time

[pliant arch]

what do you mean

[abstract tiger]

When is the tournament

[pliant arch]

like this? <t:1677862800:F>

[lunar saddle]

[pliant arch]

it's unix timestamp

discord added it

[abstract tiger]

Yea but the specific time

[lunar saddle]

(2 years ago)

[abstract tiger]

How does it change

[pliant arch]

<t: add unixtimestamp here>

[lunar saddle]

https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/

[hearty jacinth]

1100-1250 range of rapid on both 🤔
dont play much blitz, so that might be a bit different

[abstract tiger]

Like how do I know when I can participate in a tournament again

[lunar saddle]

blitz is what the arena is

[pliant arch]

it's every friday

[lunar saddle]

[abstract tiger]

Why can't it be Saturday

Or Sunday

[pliant arch]

cause I don't work on saturdays

sundays

[jovial carbon]

Fr

[abstract tiger]

Ok that makes sense

[pliant arch]

sorry

[lunar saddle]

[pliant arch]

I do show up here

but I have uni things to do and volunteer modding to do and also like

[gusty hare]

[abstract tiger]

What time is the next tournament in your time anita

[lunar saddle]

i watched that when i was 12

[pliant arch]

2PM friday

[lunar saddle]

got scared to death

thought it was real life

[pliant arch]

I have classes at around 5 but I need to commute. The arena is one hour long, there is work involved. I work on other things in the morning.

like the PCL

[delicate tree]

Looking forward to the next episode of Anitta hammers Cheatar !

[abstract tiger]

Ok

[pliant arch]

we even got a fancy announcement banner thingy

[lunar saddle]

[pliant arch]

legit tourney

[delicate tree]

Seriously thanks so much @pliant arch for hosting these tourneys, they're awesome!

[pliant arch]

Hey I'm happy to do so, also I have fun during them even if I dont play, I sometimes get to watch @lunar saddle flag

[lunar saddle]

[dim grove]

when discord weekly tourney starts at 4

[wet bear]

What's the time for this arena in India..??

[delicate tree]

The arena starts <t:1677862800:F> in your local timezone, whatever timezone you set in your computer.

[thorny nymph]

10.30pm

[dim grove]

how do you do that like the time zone thingy

[delicate tree]

https://hammertime.cyou/ for example

[frank raven]

epic time to stay up until 1am

[signal sphinx]

sad I have school while this is happening

[slow zephyr]

Hi

[winter isle]

are these weekly arenas for limited time or smthing?

[waxen cave]

@pliant arch Do u speak spanish?

If u do dm me

[wet bear]

i have my physics board exam on 4 but surely gonna play arena on 3rd night

..chess is really important

[thorny nymph]

i have one small doubt , ah what about the players who get defeated by a cheater in an arena?

they lost their streak

so the overall points would thus be less

is that taken into consideration while making the final rankings?

like are the points recalculated by readjusting the streaks?

[upbeat bridge]

Man cheaters really make every game bad

Also do second and third place also get prizes? And if they do what prize do they get?

[pulsar mica]

Which state board?

[wet bear]

@ @pulsar mica cbse class 12

[pulsar mica]

Ok mine was on 27 feb

[wet bear]

Physics...??

[pulsar mica]

Yeah

[wet bear]

Ooh

[pulsar mica]

Maharashtra board

[wet bear]

Ooh

[foggy python]

will u join the weekly arena thing

[wet bear]

Of course

@pliant arch can there be a general voice chat on chess.com server so that we all can have fun there too...playing chess..

All are just locked

[pulsar mica]

Isn't there a general channel?

[wet bear]

Yes

But its not voice chat

[wooden ivy]

I can't wait for tomorrow

[wet bear]

Me too

[pulsar mica]

Oh okay

[wet bear]

yeah

[scarlet apex]

Welp have fun for next arena i will not be joining since i need a rest from chess

[dense current]

Could anyone tell me how long this arena usually lasts? Thanks

[hearty jacinth]

1hr i think

[pliant arch]

second and third get a month of dismon each

[lunar saddle]

[topaz dirge]

what is the timing? @delicate tree

[delicate tree]

What timing? As mentioned above, the arena starts <t:1677862800:F> <t:1677862800:R>

[sour wolf]

Ik but still

[wet bear]

And like are I rated 2300

U

[gusty hare]

Have fun
I'm only grade 9

[sour wolf]

Yeah but chess rating doesn't help in studies

[sour wolf]

U will also suffer just wait

[wet bear]

But that's exceptionally good if it's really that way

[gusty hare]

Yeah lmao

But one more year to go

[wet bear]

9th graders assemble

[sour wolf]

Nah man online chess rating is easy to get that too just blitz and bullet real skill is classical

[wet bear]

Yeah

[sour wolf]

Alr might aswell study till the arena starts lol

[wet bear]

Yeah me too

I know I can't be in top 20

But let's play for fu ln

[sour wolf]

Alr all the best for both boards and the arena

[wet bear]

Thnx

[sour wolf]

I want the diamondddd

No fun

[wet bear]

U have bro

DC is showing

[gusty hare]

I'm the first one to join the arena

Won't get to the top when it ends tho

[hearty jacinth]

pcl or arena 🤔

[wet bear]

Same

[muted olive]

Dang GL to everyone who plays. I can't play blitz without tearing my hair out tho lol

[normal furnace]

There were no titled players in these arenas yet

[muted olive]

Means you were way better than your opponent

[hearty jacinth]

yeah i domnt see anyone hving 9 queens tbh

[muted olive]

I mean if your opponent sucks and you win all their pieces, it's possible

[subtle apex]

hola

[muted olive]

hola

[hearty jacinth]

not really, if elo wise u r at a closer level, youd accidentally checkmate or stalemate before getting 9 queens

[muted olive]

Yes I mean if your opponent is way worse than you.

[balmy spruce]

<t:24seconds>

Daym

[pliant arch]

gl peepos

[balmy spruce]

@gusty hare hope we get paired

[muted olive]

gl all of ya

[balmy spruce]

@pliant arch any staff we can run into this arena?

Would be fun

[gusty hare]

[pliant arch]

I'm working on PCL but I might try to lose some elo

[forest roost]

/ping

[pliant arch]

duck careful, those are rated games

just be careful to not let anyone help you

[balmy spruce]

Im trying to gain elo

[gusty hare]

What if he tops this arena too? Another 3 month premium?

[balmy spruce]

Badly too

[pliant arch]

I trust you, just let ppl know

[pliant arch]

ye

[gusty hare]

[balmy spruce]

Duck is set for the year

[hearty jacinth]

can hving pcl stream on count as potential help? 😂 🤔

[gusty hare]

But you guys give it after his old one is completed?

Or you guys give it right now?

[pliant arch]

if any winner is already diamond, it starts after their diamond ends

[gusty hare]

Lol

Lucky duck

[pliant arch]

Pog

[gusty hare]

He'll win this one too

100 sure

[balmy spruce]

@gusty hare how much u got rn month wise

[dusky radish]

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

[balmy spruce]

Wait who's playing today

[drowsy holly]

@pliant arch can you escalate the account report of someone in the tournament

i dont want to start the tournament playing against a potential cheater

[vivid bramble]

@pliant arch do we need to register for the tournament or just join?

[royal forge]

just join

[vivid bramble]

K

[royal forge]

It'll start in 30 mins

[vivid bramble]

Yup

[royal forge]

Anitta I have a question

[pliant arch]

dm me about it, but we cannot ban someone for being sus

[royal forge]

Have u adjusted the timings this time ?

or they are same

[pliant arch]

What do you mean

it's 3|0

[royal forge]

no means the time of event

[pliant arch]

it's a bit earlier than usual I believe

[vivid bramble]

It's only an hour right?

[royal forge]

ohh

[royal forge]

yes

I can't join tourney this time cz It's my time to study

[viscid lake]

i have school

[pulsar mica]

Thanks for keeping it at a more convenient time this time

[vivid bramble]

It's a wonder how people feet 40, 50 points in just an hour

[pliant arch]

lucky pairings also playing when it starts

[pulsar mica]

I only scored 14 points. Last time

[vivid bramble]

Ikr... But again for different timezones it's different

[pulsar mica]

Yeah

Last time it was at 12.30 am for me

[vivid bramble]

Same

[pulsar mica]

This time I wish I score more

[normal furnace]

Getting top 10 after fp checks seems like a reasonable goal

[pulsar mica]

Nice username btw

[vivid bramble]

I didn't even participate last time cuz it was too late

[vivid bramble]

Ty

[royal forge]

where are u from ?

[pulsar mica]

Yeah

[pulsar mica]

India

[sour wolf]

no u

Ik the Nice username wasn't for me but still

[royal forge]

Yeah the time in India in inconvenient as last time the event started on 00:30

[sour wolf]

and before that 3

[royal forge]

btw are u participating this time ?

[royal forge]

really ??

[pulsar mica]

Sorry I didn't understood what u mean

[sour wolf]

yeah I couldn't play that time that's why

[sour wolf]

ur username's nice

[royal forge]

maybe next time before 10pm as time is decreasing 😂

[pulsar mica]

Oh thanks

[sour wolf]

yeah that'll be good

[lunar saddle]

damn i almost missed it

[royal forge]

Hmm

[vivid bramble]

Yea it's still pretty late here

[royal forge]

It's 10pm now

10:07

[pulsar mica]

Yeah

[vivid bramble]

Yea

[normal furnace]

I remember those times when I got top 10 before fp checks in Shankland's c4 arena 🥲

[worldly jetty]

i cant play this time bc school 😭

oh well

[pulsar mica]

Does playing gambits help to win games faster?

[winter isle]

i have exams tomorrow

[royal forge]

np maybe next time

[winter isle]

but ill still play lmao

[hearty jacinth]

how many games r usually played by an individual player in an hour? 🤔

[royal forge]

Depends

[pulsar mica]

I played 13 last time

[winter isle]

depends on how fast u win

[hearty jacinth]

hmmmm

[winter isle]

or lose ofc

[pulsar mica]

Yeah

[hearty jacinth]

yep 😂

[normal furnace]

Depends on a gambit, your knowledge of it's ideas, your overall skills, your opponent etc.

Some gambit can help you lose fast

[pulsar mica]

Okay

[winter isle]

i just play e4 e5 lmao

[hearty jacinth]

gambits will make the game faster for sure 😂

[normal furnace]

Yeah you either win faster or lose faster

[vivid bramble]

It can help you lose fat as well

[normal furnace]

But not with all gambits

For example the Benko

It's a positional opening

I guess

[lethal shard]

Gambits are for losers just play the London system and kings Indian free rating

[normal furnace]

No opening is a free elo

[sour wolf]

other than London lmao

[normal furnace]

Unless you're smurfing on a 100 rated account 😉 (don't do that)

[sleek hollow]

[pliant arch]

don't forget, pairings are by rating, so you'll only play ppl of your rating! also, a random user who played 8+ games will be chosen to win a free month of Diamond! don't be scared of the high rated players if you're, say, U1000

[neat vault]

@pliant arch "Registration not allowed (too few games played)"
I don't understand, I have 634 games played already!
https://www.chess.com/games/archive/enxadeiro

[drowsy holly]

how come people can join with 40 games + 4 day old account i dont get it

[delicate tree]

Needs to be blitz, and you've only ever played 6 of those!
https://www.chess.com/games/archive/enxadeiro?gameOwner=other_game&gameType=live&gameTypeslive[]=blitz&timeSort=desc

[neat vault]

How many Blitz games I need to play in order to register?

[delicate tree]

10

[lost glen]

just resign 4 in a row

[drowsy holly]

y'all need to increase this to 100 or something

[lost glen]

fastest way to be able to enter

[delicate tree]

Do NOT resign rated blitz games out of the blue! That will lead to you being banned. Banned players cannot enter the arena either.

[lost glen]

why would u be banned

[austere sonnet]

sandbagging

[hearty jacinth]

rating manipulation

[lost glen]

not rating manip

its game manip

but yea

increase it to 100 games

are the games rated

[drowsy holly]

if they're a new account, chances are they're smurfing, or cheater. 10 is too small

[delicate tree]

Ideally, it would be rating-based, 100+ games for 1500+ rating, 1000+ games for 2000+ rating, 10 games for <1500 (because some people are actually just beginning to play chess). But yeah, not possible right now.

[delicate tree]

See https://support.chess.com/article/648-what-do-i-need-to-know-about-fair-play-on-chess-com

Fixing game results by arranging games, playing with multiple accounts or losing intentionally is also against the rules.

[lost glen]

why do u need 1000+ games for 2000

thats seems a bit overkill

its probably accurate for most people

but it might disallow some people

[scarlet apex]

1500 make more sense tbh

But its fine anyways

[lost glen]

how does 1500 make sense

someone could be 2000 or something in person

[neat vault]

Thank you very much!
Now I was able to register.

[normal furnace]

I have 2700 blitz games played and I'm nowhere near 2000

[drowsy holly]

i'd say 100 games is a great middle-ground

[karmic estuary]

get the race to banning cheaters begin

i aint participating but ill be there to see the result

[drowsy holly]

if you played less than 10 games, then i dont think you deserve to get a free premium anyways, your rating is still provisional at this point

[normal furnace]

My prediction is 9 or more people from top 20 will get banned

[lunar saddle]

[scarlet apex]

Cheater will be very lazy and dont wanna play anyway since theres a lot to be played

500 is my best guess to make it better

100 cheater can just push easily

[teal bobcat]

what is the "trusted" role?

plus how would the mods catch the cheaters?

[steel mauve]

last time it was 11 out of 20

[karmic estuary]

lets get it to 13

[steel mauve]

so i guess it's going to be a little better then before

[scarlet apex]

A lot of ways

[karmic estuary]

lol

[lost glen]

odds are they cheated before

but didnt cheat that tourney

at least my thought

i dont actually know what happened

[steel mauve]

accuracy of magnus nakamura on crack

[lost glen]

cheating in the tourney would be stupid

[normal furnace]

I hope people got smarter

[steel mauve]

in most games

[lunar saddle]

jumpscare moment

[lost glen]

why

[wooden ivy]

I can't participate but good luck to eveyone

[dusky radish]

turututu

[lost glen]

if they got smarter they can cheat better

[teal bobcat]

oh

[drowsy holly]

both 2400s less than 100 games

this is ridiculous

[lunar saddle]

1 minute!!!!!

[potent rover]

40 sec

[lost glen]

@delicate tree r the games rated?

[scarlet apex]

Welp anyways good luck to u alls

[normal furnace]

Thanks, very sad that you're not participating

[wooden ivy]

Yes, they are

[normal furnace]

Gl everyone

[lost glen]

why 😦

thats so stupid

[dusky radish]

why are they rated btw ?

[karmic estuary]

spare some for them

[lost glen]

im not losing my peak

[wooden ivy]

I am sad too

[lost glen]

to some stupid 2400 smurf

[umbral cloak]

good luck, hope i match with people close to my elo

[wooden ivy]

Why not

[scarlet apex]

Yah dont worry i wont join

[normal furnace]

FM joined 💀

[scarlet apex]

Im resting from chess

[delicate tree]

All games should be rated! Plus, rated makes it abundantly clear that you can't cheat, and makes rating manipulation way harder.

[lost glen]

so

[lost glen]

but it also makes ppl not want to join

[scarlet apex]

Whoever fighting the fm goodluck bc last time im tour i fight cm and after 10 moves i resign

[lost glen]

i am not gonna lose my rating to some 400 who is smurfing

[scarlet apex]

💀

[lost glen]

damn

and ur 2000?

[scarlet apex]

Man they hit different

[wooden ivy]

People should learn to deal with their elo axiety

[lost glen]

i can beat a good amount of the masters i play

given i havent faced any ims or gms

[scarlet apex]

I know im gonna lose anyway so i dont wanna fight them and just continue other game bc time is important

Welp just try to get many game as possible

[lost glen]

Wdym ur gonna lose anyways

If ur 2000 u have good odds of winning

[scarlet apex]

I know but yeah dont wanna risk it

[teal bobcat]

if an 2k elo is scared, what should i do?

[wooden ivy]

It is rating based paring

[scarlet apex]

Yeah dont worry

[lost glen]

U don’t know what I was saying do u

[scarlet apex]

Alright alright im gonna go to see this tour

[wooden ivy]

I don't understand you, that's right

[scarlet apex]

Gonna watch some player for entertainment

[lost glen]

I was saying a 2000 has a very good chance of beating many cms nms and even some fms

[teal bobcat]

what would happen if i didnt press "Next Arena Gamee"?

[scarlet apex]

You wont gain points

So you need to click it

Basically every after finishing a game you need to keep playing

[royal forge]

i blundered my queen

[scarlet apex]

Until tour is finished

[royal forge]

😢

[teal bobcat]

ok ty

[teal bobcat]

wdym by tour

[scarlet apex]

I mean weekly arena

Im used to saying tour

[teal bobcat]

will i still be able to play if i lost game?

[scarlet apex]

Yes

As long the arena ongoing

You can

[gusty hare]

Why is it rating based?

[teal bobcat]

some 300 elo is on 5 streak💀

[lone oxide]

thers is no reason to join this arena for me when there are people tis good in it https://www.chess.com/member/southlondonmf

[wooden ivy]

To give lower rated people more chances because most people on the Discord aren't high rated

[lunar saddle]

still no images in threads

💢

[wooden ivy]

Even I can't post pics here

[lunar saddle]

yea discord moment

[wooden ivy]

Only admins

[dire pine]

Did it start already?

[lunar saddle]

yes

[scarlet apex]

yes

[gusty hare]

Could have done prizes for sections. But rating based is boring and takes away from the thrill of a tournament, and it could be argued that this make it less fair for higher rated people

[scarlet apex]

im watching duck play and its hella fun

[teal bobcat]

i've just played one of my best games in a while

from a loosing position into a great checkmate

[wooden ivy]

I can't quite relate because it is always thrilling for me

[lunar saddle]

welp at least i got a new country for my passport

never had Bermuda

[winter isle]

that feeling

when ur winning\

[lunar saddle]

119/241

[winter isle]

but u lose on time

[lunar saddle]

i feel that Laukik

[winter isle]

i was on #1 for the first four or five rounds

but now

60s

[teal bobcat]

how can i go back to my game?

[winter isle]

by opening chess. com

[subtle apex]

Get Equatorial Guinea

[teal bobcat]

i accidentally started watching a gem

game

[winter isle]

and going on the play tab

ull see your games there

or even on ur profile

[gusty hare]

I actually just got paired against an 1900 as a 1300 lmao

[lunar saddle]

gotta find someone from there first lol

[gusty hare]

But rating based makes it like you are just playing in the normal rated pool

[lost glen]

they should make the tourney unrated

[subtle apex]

fuuuck I forgot about the arena

[teal bobcat]

how in the world of chess is the first one 500elo?

[karmic estuary]

lol

[subtle apex]

What's wrong wit it?

[teal bobcat]

?

[subtle apex]

What's wrong with the 1st one being 500

[teal bobcat]

its just crazy that he is that good even tho his elo is little

[scarlet apex]

its based on rating paired

[subtle apex]

You just gotta win games lol

[scarlet apex]

thats why high rated one hard to win

[subtle apex]

Yh

[teal bobcat]

o

[scarlet apex]

but its fine bc its fair anyways

[steel mauve]

gg

[austere sonnet]

gg

[steel mauve]

i ended #13

[subtle apex]

gg

[normal furnace]

I'm so damn terrible at chess

[steel mauve]

which is a lot better then my last place

which was like #33

[elder elbow]

i lost like 300 points in that tournament

[steel mauve]

i gained a 130

i thinkž

[elder elbow]

the only person i beat was a 200 rated guy 💀

[thorny nymph]

Are the arenas usually like this?

[austere sonnet]

bro i faced 1300 players

is that normal

[drowsy holly]

i finished #63 but i mainly played cheaters anyways

[normal furnace]

I almost didn't win

[subtle apex]

I started 43min late lmao

[thorny nymph]

I lost like 5 times and still got #6

[austere sonnet]

i am 950

[vivid bramble]

I got #69

[elder elbow]

do you need minimum of 8 games to get the diamond for random member

[reef flame]

20th place here

[steel mauve]

there was only 1 person i was suspicious of but its fine

its ggs

[idle leaf]

Congs to all winners

[normal furnace]

I was always top 20 and this time I'm #75

So bad

[reef flame]

GG everyone

[sour wolf]

when being good is not good lol

[teal bobcat]

how can i connect my chess account?

with the discord

[karmic estuary]

i think u did face a cheater in your first game

[steel mauve]

a 500 rated finished 1st

15 wins in a row

dayum

he good

[burnt steeple]

83rd

[vivid bramble]

Wow that's pretty much gauranteed membership

[drowsy holly]

notice how all the top 3 are new accounts smh

[idle leaf]

What is the time next friday? Is it the same. Not meaning time control.

[steel mauve]

don't witch hunt @drowsy holly

[idle leaf]

Time of day

[steel mauve]

we're not allowed to do that

[vivid bramble]

I mean cudnt he have just sandbagged

[steel mauve]

(although it is kinda obvious)

[drowsy holly]

whether they cheater or not, their rating is still provisional

[steel mauve]

jan 2021 account though

1000 rating in bullet

[vivid bramble]

Hm

[drowsy holly]

and still shouldnt be allowed to participate

[austere sonnet]

how to finish games as soon as possible?

[steel mauve]

you know its bad when a FIDE Master finished 29th

[drowsy holly]

and dont be fooled by high bullet rating too, cheaters play 2+1 to pretend they are fast

[steel mauve]

i think the guy that said that 9 out of top 20 are going to be cheaters

shit

i think he might be onto something

lol

[plain fog]

I beat 1300 blitz in 16 moves

[steel mauve]

still i am not going to witch hunt

[sour wolf]

just gotta wait for the cheater detected msges

[steel mauve]

i just bookmark the accs of people i suspect cheated in the tournament

then come back to if after a week or so

to see if they got banned

[sour wolf]

I mean any cheater will get banned for sure

Idk why they think they can get away

[steel mauve]

#2 #3 in my opinion are most likely legit

[drowsy holly]

problem with being high rated in a rating based arena is that you're just gonna face a bunch of cheaters that break your winstreak, so you will never have a chance to win

[steel mauve]

nvm

im not going to accuse

[austere sonnet]

#1 is also legit i guess

[wooden ivy]

Last week my rating range was 1400-2500 as 1900

[steel mauve]

100%

cheating in tournaments is just a (insert name for male reproductive organ here) move

[slow zephyr]

how to get diamond if i got top 3

[steel mauve]

did you

[slow zephyr]

ye

[steel mauve]

which one are you

[slow zephyr]

3

[drowsy holly]

you wait

[slow zephyr]

DrYesBestWay

[steel mauve]

yeah

[drowsy holly]

for cheater report

[steel mauve]

you wait

[sour wolf]

I'd prefer a bullet tournament next time

[steel mauve]

they're going to check top like 50

to see if they are cheating

[sour wolf]

that would make sure cheating isn't possible

or atleast very tough

[steel mauve]

20 second bullet

lezduit

i win every time on time

[drowsy holly]

they gonna check top 3 mainly and then probably check whoever wins the random prize

[steel mauve]

that wouldn't work though

if top 3 are cheaters

[sour wolf]

no they're gonna check everyone

[steel mauve]

they have to disqualify them

[sour wolf]

they're literally gonna check everyone

[drowsy holly]

yeah then they check the new top 3

[steel mauve]

and give the rewards to #4,5,6

[mortal holly]

ay i got 8th place

not bad eh?

[steel mauve]

cool

i got 13th

[mortal holly]

great

[slow zephyr]

very good

[steel mauve]

if what happened last time happens again

im gonna be 2nd

[mortal holly]

im only a 600 lol

[frigid viper]

got 7th
i kinda suck tbh

[steel mauve]

guys

a literal FIDE master was 29th

you're fine

[slow zephyr]

holy sheesh

[gusty hare]

Weird

[sour wolf]

it was rating based guys

[frigid viper]

yeah

[mortal holly]

anyone can gift me diamond membership :3

xD

[frigid viper]

fr apex

[mortal holly]

fr

[frigid viper]

[mortal holly]

lmao

i gotta get on val bro

its been like 10 years

[frigid viper]

i mean i generated profits so lmao

[mortal holly]

dam

[steel mauve]

hey @pliant arch one question (sorry for ping)

do smurfs get the same treatment as cheaters

like

a disqualification

or

how does it work

[scarlet apex]

thats should not get it but to know about it pretyy hard

[frigid viper]

i was sweating during the tourney
literally physically sweating

[sour wolf]

I mean smurfing in a way is cheating I think

[mortal holly]

i was just vibing to music and just playin normally, but faster :3

[scarlet apex]

smurfing is still cheating soooo

ye

[sour wolf]

like if u played too good for your rating ur probably still getting banned

[steel mauve]

oh god

if smurfs are banned

[frigid viper]

its hot here so

[steel mauve]

the leaderboard is going to go to hell

[mortal holly]

xD

[steel mauve]

like

actual hell

[sour wolf]

but as long as ur not cheating ur fine

[dense current]

whats smurfing?

[sour wolf]

like with engine

[frigid viper]

im not rly a smurf lol

[steel mauve]

basically

you play on a 200 rated account

[scarlet apex]

last time when fairplay checks so many got banned

[steel mauve]

but in reality you are 1800 rated

[dense current]

ohh right

[frigid viper]

like i barely played chess.com

i play mainly on lichess

idk why
but yes

so i had like 224 blitz lmao

[frigid viper]

whether here is strange

[karmic estuary]

[scarlet apex]

https://www.chess.com/tournament/live/arena/discord-weekly-tourney-2514713 this is the last week arena

[mortal holly]

[scarlet apex]

[mortal holly]

[frigid viper]

[mortal holly]

oki doki

[winter isle]

Fr

[mortal holly]

yo also btw does that role u have get removed next week?

[scarlet apex]

you guys still dont understand rating paired

[scarlet apex]

its stay for a month

[mortal holly]

dam

das nice

[steel mauve]

it's still unbelievable that i got to top 20

when first time i played i barely got to top 30

[mortal holly]

I got top 10 my first time 😱

[potent rover]

Does anyone have link to leaderboard?

[steel mauve]

to be fair there was a crap ton of cheaters in top 30 the first arena

[sour wolf]

ratings are pairing based ......

[winter isle]

Even in the second one

[steel mauve]

me n u boutta be top 5 if everything goes to crap

[frigid viper]

what rating do you have @steel mauve

[winter isle]

11/20 were cheaters

[scarlet apex]

https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2536473

[steel mauve]

933 now

[mortal holly]

true

i got 6th place

[frigid viper]

yeah ik

[mortal holly]

and then when i lost that i got so pissed

[steel mauve]

used to be 800 at start of tournament

[frigid viper]

mine is like 456 smth lol

[reef flame]

Wasn't it only for the top 3?

[drowsy holly]

you might get top 3

if a bunch of ppl get banned

[scarlet apex]

dont worry fair play checks is coming soon

[steel mauve]

these ppl sad that they got 7th place lmao

[winter isle]

Pairings are rating based 😂

[steel mauve]

the hammer shall strike soon

[scarlet apex]

yep

[winter isle]

they prolly gonna get in top 5 or 3

[frigid viper]

i wish that i could have played with the fide master
id lose but hey its a learning experience

[drowsy holly]

cant reverse my losses into a win tho can it 😔

[scarlet apex]

yea but your position will be moved

[steel mauve]

id love to play with a person with an official title

[frigid viper]

fair

[steel mauve]

don't care if its a win or lose it'd be an insane experience

[drowsy holly]

arenas are brutal in the sense of win streaks. If a cheater comes along and breaks it then u have no chance of winning

[steel mauve]

that might have happened to me

i had a 6 streak

then lost to a cagnus marlsen

[sour wolf]

Im high

from playing chess

[scarlet apex]

i played against fm and cm and they just kick my ass

fm was actually not bad

but they play so consistent

[frigid viper]

high level mastery

[proven turtle]

I won my first 6 games and lost the next 4 😭

[drowsy holly]

players also cant win if they havent connected their discord accounts

[scarlet apex]

yep

[frigid viper]

ok but how do you do that

[scarlet apex]

most of cheater doesnt even have discord connected

[thorny nymph]

well losing in between would have been worse

[scarlet apex]

so yeah dont worry

[proven turtle]

yea true

still was like 50th place

[frigid viper]

i dont think i did connect discord lmao

i just joined this server and forgot about it until now

[scarlet apex]

well you should

its not too late yet

[drowsy holly]

i placed #63 maybe i will get top 3 after all the bans 😏

[frigid viper]

how if i may ask

[scarlet apex]

before they do fairplay checks

[thorny nymph]

the odds are present

[scarlet apex]

do /connect

[drowsy holly]

and also disqualifications from not being connected

[scarlet apex]

go to #👾〡albert-spam and connect it @frigid viper

[frigid viper]

dont see that channel

idk if its me

[scarlet apex]

try clicking this

[proven turtle]

hmm, where can I find the final standings? I closed the page and cant get back

[frigid viper]

it doesnt even show it as an existing channel

[idle leaf]

When will the random winner be told?

[frigid viper]

[scarlet apex]

[frigid viper]

[scarlet apex]

[frigid viper]

#👾〡bot-guide message

[steel mauve]

[scarlet apex]

[frigid viper]

[weak shore]

[digital sierra]

[potent rover]

The link so that I can see the leaderboard. I closed the app so can't see the leaderboard again

[scarlet apex]

after a month it will

[digital sierra]

just be top 5 every month Ig

[frigid viper]

basically its permanent

[steel mauve]

we dont know yet

[scarlet apex]

harder than its sound ;-;

[steel mauve]

after they ban cheaters

we'll know

[steel mauve]

^

[scarlet apex]

i got lucky into top 5 bc many cheaters got banned

[weak shore]

how did a 500 win

[digital sierra]

Ik

[weak shore]

cheat?

[steel mauve]

smurf probably

but we can only assume

[neat vault]

I don't have the link, I have the leaderboard only.

[scarlet apex]

i was top 10 before the ban hammer comes in

[jovial ridge]

For some reason there are so many cheaters on Discord. Always baffles me

[frigid viper]

ok wrong chat

[scarlet apex]

rating paired

[frigid viper]

i agree

[steel mauve]

i am praying that 12 out of top 13 are cheaters so i get first place lmao

[weak shore]

lol

[frigid viper]

fr

[jovial ridge]

@plush lava is my boy, he's clean

[idle leaf]

[weak shore]

[frigid viper]

and do puzzles all day

[weak shore]
