[dense elbow]

Russia gang

[mossy sonnet]

[stone kiln]

1900 rapid does no transfers into blitz rating

[modest gulch]

Hi

[ivory nest]

Yeah but ur skills do 😂

[covert cargo]

Last week i had birthday and my parents gift me chess premium

🤍

[modest gulch]

Argh

[stone kiln]

It got my time zone wrong it says 6 pm but its beginning at 5 pm

[potent fiber]

Thats a w present

[modest gulch]

Registration starts in

[mossy sonnet]

registrations start 1 hour before it begins

[modest gulch]

One hour difference

[stone kiln]

Bro 1900s suck in my last game I blundered my knight in the first 4 moves and still won

1900s are trash

But we are the king of trash

[modest gulch]

I thought it starts in 55 min at first lol so I can press join and go afk

[covert cargo]

i have problem

[stone kiln]

You'll probably get top 5 ychess

[modest gulch]

It’s 11pm I’m gonna sleep bye

lol

[stone kiln]

Imagine sleeping

[tawdry shoal]

I can probably get to 4.5 at most if I play properly

[covert cargo]

in my time is 4 pm

[tawdry shoal]

I suck at blitz so gg

[simple rampart]

i better not get placed with tryhards

[covert cargo]

btw this turnament can make my elo lower?

[tawdry shoal]

The tournament starts at 1am for me

[simple rampart]

but im at school 😭

[modest gulch]

Hi

[dense elbow]

arena tournaments are unfair lol. noobs finish faster

[tawdry shoal]

Nope

[torpid gazelle]

Yes it's rated

[modest gulch]

Same

[simple rampart]

so im gonna have to play in a tournament at school 😭

[stone kiln]

@mossy sonnet look how many people are saying they're bad at blitz or hate blitz

[covert cargo]

I HAVE HOLIDAY THIS WEEK HAHAHAHA

[modest gulch]

Rapid people cheat

[stone kiln]

Make rapid arenas

You can cheat in blitz easily too

[grim elbow]

For the first time i have issues joining the arena on moblie

[modest gulch]

At least I can flag cheaters

[stone kiln]

No you can't

[tawdry shoal]

Gotta practice my blitz ability, I have 200 point difference from my rapid rating and blitz Rating

[modest gulch]

I can

[stone kiln]

It's so easy to cheat in blitz

[modest gulch]

It’s harder?

I flagged a cheater in rapid before lmao

[stone kiln]

A move every 3 seconds mean you can play 60 moves which computer

[tawdry shoal]

Copy the link, open in chrome

[stone kiln]

With*

[covert cargo]

Only virgins cheating at chess

[torpid gazelle]

It's easier to cheat in rapid because the more time you give the engine the better it's evaluation

[stone kiln]

And you can just do the winning parts yourself

[modest gulch]

It takes about 5-7 seconds to transfer

According to Gotham

[shut crag]

@mossy sonnet when checking for cheaters do you use stock fish?

[modest gulch]

Obviously

[stone kiln]

I never said it was harder to cheat in blitz I said its easy to cheat in blitz

[modest gulch]

The fair play team checks

[tender forge]

how i get the role of connected? i just linked my chess.com and dc account but i still don't have the role

[shut crag]

Why not check every single bot?

[modest gulch]

You have the role

[torpid gazelle]

Yes so cheating occurs in both rapid and blitz

[modest gulch]

???? What

[tawdry shoal]

I hope I have a ton of 1500 opponents, it's good to practice against people higher rated than me

[potent fiber]

Bullet chess

[tender forge]

I didn't realize XD

[stone kiln]

I played a cheater that was 2300 blitz and he had 30 blitz wins or so with 0 losses 0 draws

[shut crag]

They should check Martin too

[stone kiln]

You can still easily cheat in blitz

[ivory nest]

so much kinda valid and mutual blitz hate makes me think there r gonna be lots of cheaters again 😂 😂

[covert cargo]

what is diference beetwen truster and connected

[modest gulch]

Yes there are blitz cheaters

They are unavoidable

[dense elbow]

@quiet grove

[potent fiber]

There are cheaters

[dense elbow]

no slash cmds

[modest gulch]

3 min is the most popular time control

[dense elbow]

bruh

[potent fiber]

It’s unavoidable

[modest gulch]

10 min is the second most popular

[tawdry shoal]

People can even cheat in bullet so blitz is more common for cheaters

[covert cargo]

i only play 10m games

[keen rivet]

same

[stone kiln]

K then how about they make 2 different arenas for rapid and blitz players

[tawdry shoal]

I prefer 3|2

[potent fiber]

Mostly same

Sometimes i play bullet for the laughs

[ivory nest]

so 5 min arena is a good idea?:jo

[keen rivet]

i lost all my rating on 3|0 xD

[torpid gazelle]

Yes increment is always better

[potent fiber]

Or 15|10

[modest gulch]

Hm

or maybe 3+2

[potent fiber]

Or sometimes 5|0

[dense elbow]

yep

[potent fiber]

Cus im a bit slow

[tawdry shoal]

15|10 is basically infinite

[modest gulch]

Titled Tuesday is what time control lol

[torpid gazelle]

3+2 and 5+0 are both good

[wooden wharf]

Hello

[potent fiber]

Yea

[keen rivet]

fr

[stone bear]

Ok i DEFINITELY gonna be shit this tournament, cause i havent had a good game since the morning

[torpid gazelle]

3+0 little too fast for my liking

[potent fiber]

I dont mind it

[tawdry shoal]

Do you even lose on time at 15|10

[modest gulch]

We should do a poll

[torpid gazelle]

3+1

[stone kiln]

That's still blitz they can make 2 different arenas for blitz and rapid and they can vote on the tc for both

[potent fiber]

Nope

[dense elbow]

G time control

[potent fiber]

Usually end games with like 18 minutes

[tawdry shoal]

Exactly it's impossible

[dark swift]

E4

[ivory nest]

nah 3+2 would still be difficult for 10+0 players

[tawdry shoal]

D5

[torpid gazelle]

Qxe1#

[stone kiln]

@mossy sonnet if I beat you in rapid can you change the arena tc to rapid (I am totally not rated 400 elo higher this is a fair match up)

[potent fiber]

5|3?

[modest gulch]

Then we can just host two arenas, one blitz one rapid, and one at different time so people ag other time zones could play too

Hmm wait it didn’t make sense

[torpid gazelle]

Yes

[stone bear]

Terrible idea lmao

[ivory nest]

tbh i prefer stuff without increment

[potent fiber]

So just 5

[stone kiln]

Why

[ivory nest]

onc person can only host so much lol

[stone kiln]

Then have other people host it

[modest gulch]

Anitta said they are considering adding one more arena

[stone bear]

Because, higher rated matched would last like 20min each , so 3 matches and thats it.
Whereas a LOT of lower rated matched will be ending <10min

[ivory nest]

dfferent time or different time control?

[stone kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/siuuu-gif-24393397

[modest gulch]

She didn’t mention time control just time zone

[modest gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-ryan-gosling-cereal-embed-failure-laugh-at-this-user-gif-20627924

[stone kiln]

That's not how it works

[stone kiln]

L embed fail

[stone bear]

?

[ivory nest]

ye different time makes sense, cause americna timings r alway s tough for asians

[potent fiber]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-embed-fail-ryan-gosling-cereal-embed-failure-laugh-at-this-user-gif-20627924

[ivory nest]

yeah no tenor gif embeds 😂

[potent fiber]

Fr

[stone kiln]

It takes evenly as long for all ratings except for IMs+ because it's skill based if a 500 plays 20 minutes against another 500 the a 2000 will play 20 minutes against another 2000

[noble mist]

r

[torpid gazelle]

2 arenas weekly sounds good

[stone kiln]

The higher your rating is doesn't mean that your games last longer

And high rated players still blunder all the time

[thin drift]

How many blitz games to I have to play to enter cause I've never played blitz before?

[stone bear]

nope , 500s blunder just as much , they trade much more , thus games end faster

[stone bear]

thats literally what happens

take any random tournament for example

[torpid gazelle]

Minimum of 12 if I'm not wrong

[ivory nest]

i wonder if there could be arena where lower the player is more the time and higher elo the player is lower the time control 🤔
i wonder how would that work out

[stone kiln]

500s don't dominate

If someone blunders the other might not see it

[stone bear]

who do u think have been the top 3?

[stone kiln]

And even if they do they might blunder again

[stone bear]

thus trading unofficially

[stone kiln]

And wouldn't that go for the same for blitz

[zinc sage]

Anitta, the arena starts in <t:1678467600:R> tho

[stone bear]

it literally does

[stone kiln]

500s trade fast and blunder quickly so the game ends in 1 while good players last for the full time

[stone kiln]

?

[stone bear]

thats why u see so many 500s in top ranks because they just play more matches

[potent fiber]

[dense elbow]

hello chat

[stone bear]

500-800s

[potent fiber]

801s

[stone kiln]

Tbh sounds like they should then do a rating based tournament

[stone bear]

it is rating based already

do u mean , rank based?

[modest gulch]

Score based you mean?

[stone bear]

wouldnt those 2 equate to the same thing

[modest gulch]

I guess

[flat onyx]

Hype

[bitter dagger]

est

EST

[potent fiber]

Accuracy based you mean?

[bitter dagger]

ITS EST

IMA RUN YALL SO HARD

[modest gulch]

Hype

[bitter dagger]

no cheaters bro

stg

[stone bear]

thats what dr.yes said last time

[flat onyx]

Not at all. Score based will lead to higher rated people winning

[modest gulch]

It’s rated right?

[stone bear]

elaborate plz

[modest gulch]

The thing

[bitter dagger]

https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2559194

[flat onyx]

Yes

[bitter dagger]

https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2559194

[flat onyx]

As 2k you can get paired with a 300

[torpid gazelle]

Ig score based means like a swiss tournament format where everyone plays fixed number of games and player with most points wins

[flat onyx]

Yes

[wooden crown]

How will this work? Are they pairing us up based on elo?

[stone bear]

but 2ks dont get to higher ranks , as observed , if they are , they are just cheating

[flat onyx]

Elo based, rated and one hour long

[stone bear]

(as observed from the few tournaments)

[wooden crown]

Damn!

[potent fiber]

Bru

Rated

[wooden crown]

That’s too long

[potent fiber]

Quitting rn

I like my elo

Of 636

[flat onyx]

They don't because they play people of their rating

[stone bear]

oh- yeah yeah , now i get it

[ivory nest]

ignore blitz elo 😂
care only about rapid elo 😂

[covert cargo]

My best elo was 1050 and im literally dont know any opening

[potent fiber]

Oh wait yea its blitz

[ivory nest]

rhats what i do 😂

[potent fiber]

Im stupid

[flat onyx]

[stone bear]

u may play cheaters and get the compensation later

[potent fiber]

True

[cloud venture]

bro im in india and i have exams tmr i cant play

[desert wharf]

Wont be able to play either

[ivory nest]

gl with those then

[cloud venture]

thx

[covert cargo]

im in slovakia and have holydays

[cloud venture]

good luck to all those out there

[covert cargo]

😎

[cloud venture]

lucky

[grim elbow]

Oh is the reason it's not working is because it's a swiss arena

[flat onyx]

There is no swiss arena

[dense elbow]

Kassa will most probably only look at the higher rated fellas' games

[torpid gazelle]

Arena and swiss are different formats

[flat onyx]

Either it is swiss or arena

Can't be both

[grim elbow]

So what happened to have my app not work with it for the first time

[dense elbow]

i have warmed up

[wooden crown]

Which games will be commentated over? You can’t do em all, can you?

[grim elbow]

Hmmm

[ivory nest]

wait, is someone allowed to stream the commentary alongside playing?

[wooden crown]

No

That’s cheating

They might give you ideas

[ivory nest]

ye thats why i asked

[next cobalt]

I hope my 500 elo ass wins

[wooden crown]

I respect the cat pfp

Wish you the best

[dense elbow]

im going to win

[next cobalt]

Ty

[next cobalt]

nah I am defo gonna win

[grim elbow]

Cat pfps goated

[dense elbow]

nah i have studied plenty of openings

[next cobalt]

I’ve not studied at all

[wooden crown]

I got to 1000 by doing almost no theory

Just winging it every game with the Italian

[dense elbow]

i've also studied middle ggame and end game

[next cobalt]

Oh shoot its blitz

Gg go again

[dense elbow]

yea

i know how to premove endgames

[ivory nest]

yah 1k isnt really difficult, i got to 1k without knoiwing the names of openings or anything 😂
without any sort of guidance, i was just playing

[wooden crown]

I thought it was an hour

[next cobalt]

It lasts an hour

The event

[wooden crown]

Oh shit!

I thought they played hour games and had multiple games throughout the week

That’s good to know

[next cobalt]

Lol

[dense elbow]

nahh

it aint classical

[wooden crown]

How long are the games?

[dense elbow]

3|0

[next cobalt]

Can we listen to commentary

If we can

[wooden crown]

I would assume you can’t if they’re commentating your game.

[next cobalt]

Yeah

I wont just in case

[torpid gazelle]

It's gonna be so good watching an IM commentate 1000 elo games

[wooden crown]

Lol yeah

Chaos

[ivory nest]

tbh i doubt that my game would ever pop up in stream but ye still , shouldnt risk it

[dense elbow]

they are going to commentate on our games?

[torpid gazelle]

Not all games

Selected games

[dense elbow]

yea i know

like high rated or score rated games?

[torpid gazelle]

Idk they just choose randomly ig

[wooden crown]

They should commentate on the lowest elo games lol

[torpid gazelle]

Fr

[dense elbow]

lol

i also gained like 180 elo in one game

i never played blitz

but seems easy

[arctic radish]

Yeah that would be so fun

[upper sigil]

Shit why did i go out drinking tonight when chess arena

Rip

[upper sigil]

[upper sigil]

Big if true hahaha

[bitter dagger]

5 more mins till we can join/register

[tender forge]

i'm so bad at 3|0

[bitter dagger]

I main blitz its over

[dense elbow]

is this blitz or bullet

[wraith frost]

Blitz

3 min with no bonus

[dense elbow]

what are the minimum amount of games to play

You can play as many as you want

[dense elbow]

requirements

[tawdry shoal]

We all play at the same time

[dense elbow]

Ohh

Requirements

Well uh

[tawdry shoal]

If someone finishes early they have to wait, we all need to finish before playing again

[tawdry shoal]

Trusted or Connected role

You already have that role

[dense elbow]

Idrk

But there's a requirement

Like 5 games or smthg

[tawdry shoal]

There's 3 1000 elo players alongside me let's gooooo

I don't have to worry about getting paired with 1300-1400s

[dense elbow]

ok

[brave narwhal]

Lol

[desert wharf]

How much time is left

[brave narwhal]

52

[desert wharf]

Oh I thought it started

[frosty creek]

My elo is 💀

I have no chance

[hallow valve]

fr

[wraith frost]

Last week I was like 100 points lower rated in blitz, so I feel like I'm gonna get clapped a lot more this time

Or maybe I won't

@mossy sonnet how do you choose the random winner?

[wooden crown]

I’m confused, how do I get in?

Mobile btw

[ivory nest]

cick pinned link, join the arena and wait

idk about about mobile app, try doing it in the browser

[young peak]

someone is sandbagging

[wooden crown]

Shit! Just realized I haven’t played blitz on this account yet! It won’t let me join!

[wooden crown]

What’s that

[young peak]

losing to match with lower rating later on

[wooden crown]

Ah

Clever

But also scummy

[simple rampart]

wait the arena only lasts an hour

damn

i have class

[young peak]

risking acc ban aint clever

[stone bear]

so um , should we all just assume that whoever brags before tournament is cheating

[young peak]

rating will speaks for itself

[stone bear]

was his account closed or what happened?

[junior falcon]

Only 4 legitimate accounts in the top 10 rating so far 😂 nope

[young peak]

idk its a new account as well

easy ban

[stone bear]

oh fck , i didnt register yet

holy fck

a 2500

lets see how this ends for him/her

[frosty creek]

I think I'm one of the lowest rated in the arena lol

[royal tundra]

why r u guys even scared lol

being high rated

is literally a disadvantage

the lower rated you are, the better

[fossil mason]

prolly not very well cuz his opponents will be strong as well so he might need more time than lower rated players who will win quickly

[junior falcon]

only 5 legitimate accounts in the top 10 😭

[fossil mason]

yeah

[royal tundra]

this exactly

[stone bear]

lan_sn is legit

ik that much

[royal tundra]

there is probably an elo sweet spot

idk 800-1000

[young peak]

kid named sandbagger:

[royal tundra]

(do not lose elo on purpose fellas)

[flat onyx]

800 is probably the best rating

[fossil mason]

i got 900 cuz i cant play blitz

[junior falcon]

yeah let me just worsen my chess skills to increase my chances of winning

[fossil mason]

at one point due to panic i play randomly

[fossil mason]

how did you get to know??

[indigo stag]

I couldnt pass 830

I tried for 30 minutes

Dont call me a smurffffff

I am just bad at blitz 😦

[tender forge]

bruh 💀 there's one that created his acc yesterday and is 2112 with 15W0L

[fossil mason]

same

[young peak]

account fresh from oven

[fossil mason]

lmfao

[royal tundra]

cheaters will be caught idk why y'all worrying lol

[indigo stag]

Yesh

[royal tundra]

or are you just sharing your amusement

[junior falcon]

you dont understand

[stone bear]

because people lose their streaks

[indigo stag]

I will wreck cheaters

[young peak]

frustrating

[indigo stag]

Like hello

[junior falcon]

im 2200, I refuse to play in this tournament because I will just play cheaters every game and lose every game

[tender forge]

idk i'm just wasting time until starts

[junior falcon]

0 chances for me

[indigo stag]

Damn

Thats sad

[steady finch]

Yo just have to play i dont believe it

[stone bear]

?

[indigo stag]

Yeah

This time i am not winning

But atleast my game could be reviewed by an IM

[stone bear]

count me out too

[tender forge]

points lost against cheaters are given to you automatically(I think)

[junior falcon]

nope, not in tournament standings

[indigo stag]

buh

[junior falcon]

only rating points

[fossil mason]

if i lose against a cheater i will lose and my rank 😦

[royal tundra]

are you sure?

oh yeah rating

i guess only tournament points count

[tender forge]

oh

[fossil mason]

yea

[royal tundra]

yeah that sucks

[flat onyx]

I am #11 lol

[indigo stag]

I am

[royal tundra]

I SHALL WATCH

[indigo stag]

Well 800

[wraith frost]

You can lose your win streak cause of them

[indigo stag]

Dont call me a smurf guy

[royal tundra]

i would be like #20

[junior falcon]

arena tournament means that all the cheaters break your win streak = 0 chance

[flat onyx]

Aww man

[indigo stag]

pls i beg

[fossil mason]

im 55

[young peak]

im here to farm elo

[wraith frost]

#20

[royal tundra]

very true

just report everyone you meet

[indigo stag]

Imagine accidentally winning

[frosty creek]

I'm here for fun 😳 I know im gonna lose lmao

[royal tundra]

and pray they get banned midgame

easy

[junior falcon]

I feel sorry for IM Kassa Korley, having to watch such a mess

[indigo stag]

who is kassa

Kissa

Kossa

Kessa

[stone bear]

an IM

[junior falcon]

no chance, I reported 3 before the arena even started and they all got banned 3 days later

[flat onyx]

IM and admin

[wraith frost]

Look to your right in Admin section

English is tough

[stone bear]

what was her rating again?

2800?

[flat onyx]

True

[indigo stag]

Hmmmmmmmmm

[stone bear]

also , has the option to look other people's acc been removed?

[indigo stag]

Atleast my game could be reviewed

[flat onyx]

Anitta joined too interesting

[wraith frost]

Or you can be roasted

[dense elbow]

We now have 106

I'm expecting around 170

[indigo stag]

Ran Rhy threw the game with 71+ evaluation!!!!

Opponent has -M1 now

[stone bear]

i want #69

[dense elbow]

And all 68s get banned

[indigo stag]

I cant pass 830

[stone bear]

(before the arena starts)

[wraith frost]

vlibrovs promoted to a bishop and threw the game completely!!!!

[indigo stag]

Not my fault

[dense elbow]

Lol

[young peak]

for a 1200 still #37 is quite unusual

[indigo stag]

I will try to end every game as soon as possible

[flat onyx]

Average is 700 after all

[dense elbow]

There's no ran rhy today?

[stone bear]

just lose and all games will end quick

[indigo stag]

I am here

[dense elbow]

You didn't register

[indigo stag]

I did

[stone bear]

#67-Ran

[dense elbow]

Ohh

[wraith frost]

Imagine if elo was like IQ and average was always a 100

[dense elbow]

Yea

[flat onyx]

Ran is too low rated to be seen

[dense elbow]

Saw you

Lmao yea

I'm like 1200 or smthg like that

Don't play blitz

[indigo stag]

Man

[young peak]

the last arena i was like 100+

[indigo stag]

Cant there be

A rapid tourney

[dense elbow]

Yea

That would be interesting

[flat onyx]

Oh damn

[dense elbow]

But an arena

Like 1 hour rapid arena idk if that makes sense

Maybe 2 hour rapid arena or smthg

[indigo stag]

Yeah man

People will again accuse me

[wraith frost]

@flat onyx do you think we can get paired against each other or are we too far apart in blitz rating?

[dense elbow]

We're still around 107 wow

[stone bear]

1 hr rapid arena would mean 3 games lol

[flat onyx]

I hope I don't get into lost positions against 1400s again

[indigo stag]

"oh ran rhy smurfed what a noob smh"

[fossil mason]

what if i get diamond cuz i already have diamond does it like get added?

[dense elbow]

Yeah only 3

Swiss wouldn't work too

[flat onyx]

Last time I matched with 1400-2500

[dense elbow]

I'm drinking coffee rn just to stay awake for the arena

Bruh

[junior falcon]

I will only play this tournament if 1,2,4,8,9,16 gets manually removed from the tournament

[wraith frost]

Yeah I also was beating some 2000s at arena #2

[flat onyx]

I will drink tea :)

[indigo stag]

I might get offline

So

[dense elbow]

Coffee has more caffeine tho

[flat onyx]

I am not tired lmao

[dense elbow]

Which indeed ain't that good for health

[dense elbow]

Ohh

[last tartan]

damn , another arena

[dense elbow]

Well it's nearly midnight here

[last tartan]

already

[dense elbow]

So I'm obviously quite tired

[wraith frost]

The only thing I played today was 3+0 duck chess

[frosty creek]

ducks can't play chess 😮

[indigo stag]

Should i even join

[wooden crown]

You can’t prove they’re doing it on purposes tho

[last tartan]

let me not participate in this one too

lol

[clever sage]

Did it start?

[wraith frost]

But they can do hop hop on the chess board and block pieces from moving

[flat onyx]

In 18 minutes

[last tartan]

15 min ago

[wooden crown]

20 minutes

[flat onyx]

So mean

[wraith frost]

17 minutes

[frosty creek]

fair enough lol

[flat onyx]

I will try to get top 50

[indigo stag]

I will try

To get top 100

[fossil mason]

i will try to get top 60 lmao

[young peak]

maybe
its just weird they just resign on move 1

[frosty creek]

im fine with any position tbh

[dense elbow]

Top 69

That's it

[visual grail]

i will try to get top -1

[wraith frost]

I was in top 20 2 times and the last time I was like top 70+

[indigo stag]

Thats it you dont need to play

You already reached the peak

Hampten

[wraith frost]

If I can get top 10 someday I'll be pretty happy

[last tartan]

if i participate and lose 8 games in a row , will i be eligible for the prize?

[indigo stag]

no.

[last tartan]

(the random one)

[wraith frost]

I guess

[native vapor]

Ok

[last tartan]

so i aim for the random prize

[wraith frost]

If you won't be sandbagging

[wooden crown]

Guys it won’t let me join

I’m not on the roster

[young peak]

chances are low

[wraith frost]

This thing usually gets 1000+ players

[last tartan]

well i am not gonna be participating , the odds of me winning are none , i am 2100 , so its better odds that relying on winning

[wraith frost]

Because people join after it's started

[tender forge]

0% chance
100% faith

[indigo stag]

Hmmm

Lets do this

[torpid gazelle]

The highest registered player is 2500 💀

[last tartan]

hold your knights

[dense elbow]

Peak? 👀

[torpid gazelle]

Yeah I'm not getting anywhere close to winning this

[wraith frost]

Not quite 0, but around 0,05-0,1%, so you can still hope

[jolly tundra]

highest registered is 2500 but it pairs the elos closer to each other

[indigo stag]

69

[young peak]

he's facing other 2000s no worries

[jolly tundra]

so 700s with 700s

2500 with 2500

damnit

[last tartan]

yes

[jolly tundra]

i shouldnt have played blitz at all today

i wouldve went low elo and got good games

[last tartan]

there are only 7 others

[wooden crown]

Someone help I can’t join!!

On mobile

[jolly tundra]

they will then play eachother and maybe 1700+

[young peak]

rip to the 1900s

[junior falcon]

look at 1,2,5,9,10,15's accounts
-all brand new accounts
-all (except 1) low rated in one form of time control, or puzzles

• if you look at their games specifically, they play every moves in the same interval, so each move 2-3 seconds for example

[solid trench]

never play 3 min without increment its gonna be rough

[indigo stag]

Ez win

[wooden crown]

Please!!!!!

[tender forge]

the #5 is unreal bro 💀

[wraith frost]

Try to join in the web version and then go to the app
It should appear there
That's how I played arena #1

[ivory nest]

if u cheat regularly, its stupid to join an official event, youd just be under microscope intentionally 😂

[wooden crown]

It starts in 10 minutes!!

[tender forge]

all his moves are the top1 stockfish

[young peak]

cheater vs cheater
a match we deserved and loved

[torpid gazelle]

Alright I'm just gonna watch commentary for a while

[jolly tundra]

last time 11 out of 20 were cheaters

[clever sage]

why do i see someone playinh

[last tartan]

last last time

[indigo stag]

I will watch commentary later

[clever sage]

kakushori

[jolly tundra]

close enough

[last tartan]

the number dropped significantly this time , i was suprised

[flat onyx]

Pls tell me after the tournament if one of my games got watched

[jolly tundra]

[indigo stag]

Its night for me

[young peak]

[indigo stag]

[flat onyx]

[last tartan]

[junior falcon]

[young peak]

we aiming for random diamond winner

[jolly tundra]

3/130

[indigo stag]

Man

[jolly tundra]

oh yeah 4

[junior falcon]

why, you can get top 3 easily

[young peak]

133-top3

[flat onyx]

Below #old-emote-suggestions

[indigo stag]

I wish i reach 1000

[jolly tundra]

honestly dude

[indigo stag]

This tourneyyy

[jolly tundra]

its better to have lower elo in arena events

cuz then u get paired with noobs

and get an easy top 5

[young peak]

because im able to throw a queen up

[jolly tundra]

top 3

top 1

i missed 3 arenas

i finna win this 1 doe

[young peak]

also the final round is usually people waiting their time out to get aborted

[indigo stag]

I feel the rushhhhh

[junior falcon]

so is your opponent

[native vapor]

Some ppl with diamond memberships also play in this lol

Which is sad

[jolly tundra]

183 elo 😭

my man just joined chess ong

[young peak]

[fossil mason]

[native vapor]

[desert wharf]

[jolly tundra]

u still have much more skill than an opponent 500 elo lower

[junior falcon]

chess.com mods discriminate against new accounts over 2000 when

[jolly tundra]

u would beat him

[stone bear]

there is a guy rated 999

i feel bad

[young peak]

the way i blunder my queen is very obvious

and i can throw to a endgame where a 300 can play

[jolly tundra]

lets hope im with u and get to see ur fascinating queen blunder

[torpid gazelle]

Playing 8 games against higher rated players to lose elo but be in contention for the lucky diamond winner

[fossil mason]
