[noble sparrow]

[latent hawk]

Hmmm

[opaque ingot]

12 am phenominal

I only have 600💀

[noble sparrow]

pairings by rating

[coral wren]

all ratings can win

lower rated have best chance

[opaque ingot]

Ah k

[noble sparrow]

you’ll play other U1000 players

usually

[coral wren]

higher rated games last longer

[noble sparrow]

connect your acc tho

[coral wren]

lower rated games dont last long

so lower rated people get more games

[opaque ingot]

Alr

[dawn birch]

how long will the games be?

[coral wren]

and thus can get more arena points and rank high

[dense flame]

Ah yes people gonna be sandbaggin now

[noble sparrow]

3 min

[coral wren]

3+0

[noble sparrow]

arena is very much regulated lol

[dawn birch]

no increments?

[regal magnet]

Is it rated or not?

[noble sparrow]

it’s rated and prized, we got fair play on that

[dawn birch]

Sorry I forgored my chess stuff lol

[noble sparrow]

rated no increment cause arenas are about playing a lot of gamsa

[latent hawk]

How do people not get bored while sandbagging?😂😂

[molten spruce]

[opaque ingot]

Pog, if one of top 3 already won last arena, do the prizes go towards the next person or just does it just cancel out

[waxen sparrow]

I'd take ded bot any day over ded servers 😂

[shrewd wren]

[coral wren]

[shrewd wren]

[coral wren]

[shrewd wren]

[simple spruce]

Lol deadge

[opaque ingot]

What timezone is it in

[shrewd wren]

[shrewd wren]

[latent hawk]

The server event tells it in ur own

[shrewd wren]

[candid viper]

When does this event start?

[shrewd wren]

in about 5 hours

[coral wren]

the time on the announcement is the time it starts for you

[coral wren]

#server-announcements message

[shrewd wren]

in about 4 hours you can start signing up

[opaque ingot]

Oh im blind

[coral wren]

the time mentioned is your local time

wait

[simple spruce]

Lol nodders

[coral wren]

there's no mentioned time

[shrewd wren]

its in 5 hours

[latent hawk]

How do people still not know how server events work 😂
Ive seen this in multiple servers

[coral wren]

i guess you can read the time to start in the event embed

[simple spruce]

Yoo, lets go for a match?

[coral wren]

i'll lose, so no thanks

[alpine kestrel]

what should be one rated to stand a chance to finish top 3 in the arena?

[coral wren]

just dont be 2k+

[simple spruce]

[alpine kestrel]

lol wht

[coral wren]

usually 800-1200s win

[opaque ingot]

5hrs and 3 mins

[latent hawk]

I'd say 800-1109 has a very good chance

[azure crypt]

Be 3k+ lol

[opaque ingot]

.hey let me test my skills

[coral wren]

yeah, if you wanna be strong you gotta be super strong and win every game

[alpine kestrel]

but after they gain a few points, they will start getting paired against higher rated players right?

and then thye lose their streak

[coral wren]

they'll gain at max 50 points which wont do much

[alpine kestrel]

wont the higher rated players win?

[coral wren]

it usually doesnt happen

[mystic torrent]

last time i got 2100 player and i was 600

[alpine kestrel]

by points i meant arena points not rating

[simple spruce]

Rating? Or name idk
I will invite for a unrated match

[azure crypt]

Tbh low rated players have the highest chance of winning because that's the level where instant checkmate happens the most

[opaque ingot]

Who wants to test their skills against a 600 elo

[simple spruce]

We both may loose rating in tournament soo no need for a rated match

[opaque ingot]

Blitz im 0

[candid viper]

Is it just me or is blitz a lot harder than rapid

[azure crypt]

I'm 1250 rapid, 900 Blitz and 1000 Bullet

[simple spruce]

[alpine kestrel]

i am ready to go to 1500 after todays arena

ik for a fact am gonna bleed rating

[latent hawk]

Ye I'm a blitz hater 😂
Especially 3|0
Too close to bullet imo, I'd prefer 5min

[brisk lintel]

🐴

[alpine kestrel]

last time lost to a 900, drew few 700s as it ended in stalemate

[mystic torrent]

true

[amber violet]

what already dia members get for prize?

[azure crypt]

It's also 6 pm for me

[candid viper]

Say 5pm for me

[alpine kestrel]

timezones exist

[latent hawk]

16:30

[azure crypt]

13:00 or 1 PM

[alpine kestrel]

5hours from now

[candid viper]

OMG IT'S PERFECTLY MIDDAY

[alpine kestrel]

approx

[azure crypt]

Yes

[simple spruce]

3 min weird, its not like a bullet where fast reaction goes well, but also not a rapid to keep thinking

[azure crypt]

Hey @opaque ingot Wanna play an unrated rapid 10+0?

[latent hawk]

Imo 3+0 is for people trying to get to bullet, or just don't wanna spend time thinking at all but aren't fast in physical manner, but I'm just a hater tbh 😂

[azure crypt]

On the other hand ima attempt playing the Vienna Gambit on every chances I get

[coral wren]

1+1 IS WORST TC

[candid viper]

Just wondering, is this going to be rated games?

[simple spruce]

My bullet better than my rapid and blitz, and sometimes i think way better compared to both

[latent hawk]

why hate 5+0?

[coral wren]

yes

[coral wren]

yes

[candid viper]

Oh

So u can drop elo

[latent hawk]

ah ok

[coral wren]

or gain, its worth it

[candid viper]

True true

Are all tourneys rated?

[latent hawk]

i like 5+0, works wit my playstyle of rapid

[coral wren]

unless they say they're unrated, yea

[latent hawk]

10+0 is the best imo

15+10 is wayyyyyyyyy too much

[azure crypt]

A thing about bullet and blitz is that I didn't really play those at all. specifically I didn't play bullet because it was too fast but then one day I got an idea. I just decided to play the bongcloud every time during bullet and I somehow managed to reach 1000

[coral wren]

played 15+10 OTB twice in a tournament, both games went for almost an hour

[candid viper]

Wait where would it say that

[latent hawk]

ye its borderline classical

[azure crypt]

Sure!

My discord user

[simple spruce]

Just forgot i had a match against Alexandra botez (400) and had an obvious mate lol

[opaque ingot]

I got to 657

And lost 177

[azure crypt]

Yes why?

Alright

[opaque ingot]

Who can help me practice 3/0 blitz

[azure crypt]

pretty interesting end game there tbh

[noble wharf]

i cant participate in this one

😔

i have school

[jaunty pasture]

Yo

[regal karma]

P

[opaque ingot]

[south swan]

[opaque ingot]

Ign?

@ivory gazelle

[oak beacon]

How do I know if I'm subscribed to the event?

Cc should add a feature on mobile when you press the subcribe to event button, it should change color or something

[shrewd wren]

click the big green + button

[oak beacon]

Yeah ik

[shrewd wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/486049699556491264/1096438821945622528/image.png

then you good

[oak beacon]

Yeah but it should change

When you press it

Just for visual confirmation

[shrewd wren]

atm you cant sign up for it yet

[oak beacon]

It's just a small feature that would help reduce confusion

What

[shrewd wren]

sign up start in 43 minutes

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/486049699556491264/1096439184249585764/image.png

when counter is 1h before it starts

then you can sign up

[oak beacon]

Oh I see

Thanks!

Btw

I have 150/241 countries played lmao

Unfortunately you've already played against my country

So cant help you there

[sage hawk]

i already signed up, already requested i need to be verified please 😦

[shrewd wren]

ah! yea the last 50ish% are the hardest ones

like where the heck am i gonna find a chess player from Turks & Caicos Islands

[oak beacon]

I honestly don't know how I got people from some countries lol, must be bc I play so much

[shrewd wren]

i havent actively seeken out specific countries yet, but will eventually

[oak beacon]

I got someone from Basque Country and had to look up what that was 💀

[shrewd wren]

officially not even a country btw

[oak beacon]

Also Isle of Man 🤣

[shrewd wren]

@oak beacon r u C8JD?

[oak beacon]

How do people get the "International" flag tho, you just choose it?

[oak beacon]

Yeah

[shrewd wren]

ah ye figured panama is pretty rare

[shrewd wren]

i believe so

[oak beacon]

Yeah I literally only have the achievement by playing some friends lol

But I've never seen one online

[shrewd wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/486049699556491264/1096441809007292538/image.png

[grave trench]

Friday arenas are always rated. Saturday arenas however aren't

[shrewd wren]

you can choose it

[oak beacon]

Oh so you can just choose 💀

Does it have a cooldown tho?

[shrewd wren]

idk if your flag changes tho

[latent hawk]

probably since they removed russia

[oak beacon]

If it doesn't, you could just get the achievement by playing a friend and telling them to change the flag

[shrewd wren]

true but thats kinda cheating so ill try the real way

[latent hawk]

i mean if it doesnt, u can probably change it by using vpn

[oak beacon]

Yeah but whats the point

Although if you cant get someone from Turks

Doing that method once wouldn't hurt

[waxen sparrow]

I know, I was asking about pairings
There're arenas with rating-based pairings and points-based pairings

[latent hawk]

can u filter search players based on country and send em random challenge?

[shrewd wren]

some obscure countries dont have any vpns tho, like small islands so you gotta get them the hard way

[grave trench]

We don't do points based arenas here

[noble sparrow]

yet

[latent hawk]

eh u can always try

[grave trench]

[latent hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/puppet-awkward-looking-what-side-eye-gif-15476992

[shrewd wren]

if there is no server, theres no way to try lol

[waxen sparrow]

I asked because I was getting a lot of u1000 opponents in previous arenas and that was not very rating-based

[grave trench]

I don't really like points based arena because they seem very luck based

[grave trench]

If there aren't many people then the rating range is bigger

[latent hawk]

i mean get another close country see if they allow u to change manually then,etc

[shrewd wren]

perhaps

[waxen sparrow]

(More like skill-based)

[grave trench]

💀

[latent hawk]

pool of players reduced after we switched to to club based verification to enter

[grave trench]

It was necessary

[latent hawk]

well ye, im not saying it shouldnt hv been done, just saying it has a repurcussion

[grave trench]

I know :)

[latent hawk]

iwonder if its possible to hv it like open, but to qualify to win u hv to part of the club or soething like that

so fair play lookup would be limited to only those members

[coral wren]

well maybe you might get lucky in 1/100 arenas

[coral wren]

nah cheaters would still ruin the arena for people they play against

[latent hawk]

that sorta happens anyway when half the games or more r unwinnable due to matchups anyway, may not be the case with u, but it is with many of the lower elo players

[coral wren]

what

[grave trench]

First I would need to get lucky with the time because it is the worst timing for me currently

[coral wren]

[oak beacon]

Feels good to be in the top 3 highest elos for a couple minutes 🤣

There's already a 2600 elo guy, hope I dont get him 💀

[simple spruce]

More lucky for i fight you, nitta or duck entity

[opaque ingot]

NAHHH 2626💀

[amber urchin]

he is def a legit person, cannot possibly be cheating with a 95/9/5 winrate

[opaque ingot]

Who wanna practice with me on blitz

[amber urchin]

seriously a small layer of anticheating measures could be appreciated

[coral wren]

anitta scares me

1661

[coral wren]

joined 12 days ago 🗿

[simple spruce]

[opaque ingot]

2626 is the highest if i get that guy im leaving💀👍

[coral wren]

pairings are rating based

[opaque ingot]

Good

Gl apathetic

[amber urchin]

he is going to get dqd dont worry about him

i will play though

[coral wren]

u2

[opaque ingot]

Theres a 144

[coral wren]

as most likely the strongest player u have a pretty nice chance

[opaque ingot]

Juding by my score im going against martin

[amber urchin]

im not passing up on some free diamond

[coral wren]

yeah good luck

im probably competing for that random draw

no way i can get top 3

[noble sparrow]

https://www.chess.com/play/arena/2644182 open registrations

[coral wren]

i wish i could send images here

[amber urchin]

nah u can get it

[coral wren]

https://i.imgur.com/rb2klKe.png

cant even embed

[simple spruce]

I hope i get paired by this 2626 clear cheater or this 1815 guy

[coral wren]

im washed

in blitz

[coral wren]

im the 1815 guy

who are you?

[amber urchin]

i just hope the cheater gets banned before the arena starts but its unclear if that will happen

[coral wren]

yeah same

[simple spruce]

[coral wren]

whats your username?

[simple spruce]

You will know when time comes

[coral wren]

...tell me

[simple spruce]

🧑‍🎤

[coral wren]

unless ur on an alt you should be dunychess

[simple spruce]

No im not on an alt

[opaque ingot]

Apathetic sent u battle

[coral wren]

ah no im not in the mood rn sorry

[opaque ingot]

Lol

[shrewd wren]

lol that 2600 rated guy 💀

[opaque ingot]

What elo is gm level

[coral wren]

in blitz prolly like high 2700 idk

2800+

[opaque ingot]

Oh f

[amber urchin]

in cc blitz anywhere from 2500 to 3200

most around 27-2800

depending on how fast their mouse/brain is

[coral wren]

yeah thats right

[noble sparrow]

it's like stealing from a police station

lol

ALBERT IS BACK

PRAISED BE omg

[oak beacon]

LMAO HE JUST GOT BANNED 💀

[amber urchin]

lol

nice

[oak beacon]

I doubt a GM would be as low as 2500

Most IMS are at 2800

So GM level should start at 2800-3200

[amber urchin]

there are some 60 yr old ones that would be

classical chess doesnt always translate well into online

[oak beacon]

I mean yeah but if they're 60 they probably got their GM title a looong time ago

So they might not even be GM level by today standards

[latent hawk]

😂 😂

[oak beacon]

They just have the title

[amber urchin]

yea idk

online blitz requires some other skill sets than classical, like mouse speed and internet

[oak beacon]

I say it bc I've known some kids that are like 2400 cc blitz but in otb they are not even CM level

[oak beacon]

Oh yeah wifi connection for sure 🤣

[amber urchin]

im about 2400 blitz and 2100 fide which isnt CM level

[oak beacon]

I was completely winning once, had 20s left, and I got the fkn reconnection issue

[amber urchin]

but im a pretty fast mouse player

[oak beacon]

Came back to the game with 4s left and managed to win

[amber urchin]

yeah online is wild

[oak beacon]

Exactly

[coral wren]

1+0 goes hard

[oak beacon]

So if people that arent even CM level can reach 2400 blitz, then 2500 blitz is definitely not GM level

[coral wren]

ffs i might get matched against a few of these 2ks

[amber urchin]

it isnt linear though

[oak beacon]

True

[cobalt totem]

this is blitz right

[coral wren]

3+0 yes

[cobalt totem]

thanks

[amber urchin]

an average GM would be 27-2800 as i said

[cobalt totem]

im a rapid player so lets see how this goes

[latent hawk]

all of these 2ks should be banned for sandbagging 😂

[coral wren]

same

[oak beacon]

Just play the Vienna and you should be good

[opaque ingot]

Bruh how much blitz do i need to play to enter

Ive played 10 games

[cobalt totem]

i cant think this fast

[oak beacon]

You dont gotta think in the opening that's the magic of it

[lilac nymph]

Been to Vienna.

[shrewd wren]

head empty, 0 thoughts

[oak beacon]

Yup

[cobalt totem]

check your dms 💀

[lilac nymph]

Chess. Tabula rasa.

[amber urchin]

FYI, the GMKavopu guy got outed for cheating in the Moon Club server 2 weeks ago

[oak beacon]

Yeah and he only has 20 games played

Sad that the event hasn't even started and there has been 2 cheaters already 💀

[amber urchin]

better catch them now then later i suppose

inb4 "stealing from a police station"

[shrewd wren]

that #2 seed do be high rated lol, 4400+ in puzzles

[coral wren]

oh he left

[shrewd wren]

perhaps scared to be exposed

he's playing a 400 right now bruh

[opaque ingot]

Ive duobled by score and they want me to play more matches before registering help

@coral wren what do i do

Ive played 12 matches

Of blitz

[coral wren]

and

[opaque ingot]

And i cant register

[simple spruce]

LOL

[coral wren]

@noble sparrow

[simple spruce]

I was about to comment he was banned

[simple spruce]

Wait 2 cheaters?

[autumn phoenix]

3 minute tournament will mess up my rating , iam barely playing 5 min

[shrewd wren]

2?

[opaque ingot]

Help

My match count is too low idk how many i need to sign up

[coral wren]

[opaque ingot]

[oak beacon]

And 1 has to get banned

Oh

Already banned

Yeah

[restive oak]

Ah, i see. I only see 1

[shrewd wren]

only 1

[oak beacon]

2

Rertusinas and the GMKavopu guy

NOOOO A CM JOINED

[coral wren]

a top ultra bullet player joined

[oak beacon]

Why is he even here, by having a title he already has diamond membership for life 😐

[coral wren]

he was #2 in lichess ultrabullet last i checked

[latent hawk]

bruh what do these people get out of joining the arena

[oak beacon]

Literally nothing

Wtf

[fast wing]

CM is a title that i would be ashamed to have

[restive oak]

He beat CM. 😄

[oak beacon]

What

[candid viper]

Yo

[latent hawk]

??

[half wolf]

That was fun, we know who will win

[candid viper]

Anyone else see the candidate master 😭😭

[restive oak]

The one got banned

[latent hawk]

ye now a titled player has joined

[oak beacon]

Bro that CM is lower rated in rapid than Wezard 💀💀

She's 2500 in rapid, he's 2100 💀

Well, good luck everyone!

[thorn raptor]

I don't mind the cm joining tbh than the dutch guy has an opponent that isn't 300 elo lower

[coral wren]

he's top 3 in lichess ultrabullet rapid doesnt matter, he doesnt play rapid

[oak beacon]

Bruh

[latent hawk]

enjoy losing people

[oak beacon]

There's no point in the CM joining

[restive oak]

Well, I'm #66 out of 95 now, so i only hope for lucky draw 🙂

[oak beacon]

The prize is a diamond membership

[thorn raptor]

true

but should be fun

[oak beacon]

He already has membership for life

💀

[oak beacon]

Yeah but he wins first prize and then what happens?

[thorn raptor]

well he won't count for the prises lol

[oak beacon]

Or does he not receive a prize

[thorn raptor]

and he defeats the top

[latent hawk]

well then u r unlikely to play the 2k+ players, but ima get a bloiody double rating match up for sure

[oak beacon]

I hope

[opaque ingot]

NOTHING IS LOADING

[thorn raptor]

so that is actually benificial for the lower rated players lol

[coral wren]

30 seconds

[opaque ingot]

To start?

[waxen sparrow]

Gl everyone

[latent hawk]

nto really, maybe for very very low rated ones, not fo rrest

[thorn raptor]

Aight, good luck everyone! 15s left!

[restive oak]

What's your rating, 1800?

[latent hawk]

1k

[opaque ingot]

Im trash

@coral wren

Got u

[coral wren]

[opaque ingot]

[coral wren]

oh that 1800 was you? gg

[opaque ingot]

I wasnt 1800

Ur name was there

Lovely

💀

[thorn raptor]

I'll win my first game

[latent hawk]

mtch against anitta 😂

[restive oak]

Now my turn... 😄

[latent hawk]

i hung mate in 1 in a 0.00 position 😂

https://tenor.com/view/pitiful-disgusted-sad-selfie-just-pitiful-gif-16525205

[thorn raptor]

What did I do wrong to deserve matching up against a 2100 as a 650

[latent hawk]

yep 😂

@molten spruce stalemate 😂

[lilac nymph]

What kind of a tournament is this? Why am I playing against an 1800?

It even says "pairings by rating" lmao.

[noble sparrow]

we dont have enough ppl for it to work

tell your friends lol

[lilac nymph]

Is there ever going to be a rapid version of this tournament? It's hard to play blitz on PC.

[fading crest]

ikr 😭

im out

was fun tho

[lilac nymph]

Nah, it really wasn't. I got paired against either 800s or 1800s.

[noble sparrow]

8 games min and you can win diamond

also yeah rapid will happen if we get anough ppl in club

enough

[lilac nymph]

Looking forward to rapid.

[opaque ingot]

Won against a 1700 as 1000

[coral wren]

not resigning smh

[opaque ingot]

Same

[latent hawk]

1k against CM 😂

[lilac nymph]

By the way, I see that a 2600 player was banned before the tournament even started. I reported him because he had 95 wins and like 3 losses.

[opaque ingot]

😂

[lilac nymph]

Imagine cheating and then applying to join a tournament mostly player by people who are around 600 - 1400.

[latent hawk]

another 2300 😂

where is everyone else

😂

[noble sparrow]

playin

[latent hawk]

cm again 😂

[waxen sparrow]

I beat a 2300

[fading crest]

damn i got crushed by a 1000 but they dont play blitz so their rating was a lie 😂

was so confused

[latent hawk]

been there last time 😂

[noble wharf]

who tf let a cm in

[noble sparrow]

he wont win prizes lol

[latent hawk]

5.5/14

2 CM matches 😂
and 2 other 2k+

[noble sparrow]

gg guys I had fun. almost lost to people rated like 1000

FEAR SAMUEL I WON 8 ELO FROM DRAWING AGAINST U

[real barn]

[candid viper]

Yk what, after this tournament, I think I'm going to quit chess now

[noble sparrow]

LMFAO

[waxen sparrow]

[lilac nymph]

[latent hawk]

krish12344

[waxen sparrow]

I beat 2300+ players only 3 times in my life
And all of them in the Classical King's Indian as white

[quasi fjord]

When are we going to have a bullet arena thats the only mode im good at (1300 chess.com)

[real barn]

Just gonna quit chess

[noble sparrow]

streaks give you more points

[noble sparrow]

ah true

lol

[oak beacon]

Ohh right

[latent hawk]

ive had 4 stalemates in overall day today 😂 , 1 in arena

[noble sparrow]

we need at least 1k people in the discord club

or more

to do other types of event

events *

so tell your friends

lol

[coral wren]

too bad we didnt get matched

[noble sparrow]

and add them to #1090365050067365948 I'll do every arena yall want idc

[quasi fjord]

how many do we have now

[noble sparrow]

600

[restive oak]

The winner is CM with 2600 rating...

[noble sparrow]

@restive oak wont get diamond, tho, don't worry

[latent hawk]

dont do london again 😂

[noble sparrow]

I DID BONGCLOUND ONLY 60 PPL PLAYED

[real barn]

Guys I offered a draw in a mate in 1 position for my opponent and he didn’t accept?

[noble sparrow]

RIDDLE ME THIS!!

[waxen sparrow]

Who could've thought...

[lilac nymph]

Suggestion: First 1000 people all get diamond memberships for life. Seems like a good deal.

[noble sparrow]

thought he could beat ya lol

[quasi fjord]

im never gonna get 8 games 😦 i only got 3 in this time so never will get diamond

[noble sparrow]

[restive oak]

Oh, I'm not worry, I ranked 70-ish something, can only hope for lucky draw, lol

[oak beacon]

I think he doesn't get a prize tho

I got 14th place I'm happy

[noble sparrow]

only 3 how it's 3 min games!!

@oak beacon sheesh nice

[quasi fjord]

my wifi shut down and i lost like 25 rating bc i disconected against a 400

[amber urchin]

elo-based pairing is so garbo, my average opponent has to have been like 400 higher than 2nd and 3rd

[noble sparrow]

rip omg

[oak beacon]

Also, there was a 1374 guy that got really high

[latent hawk]

it was going well for first 40 mins cause i matched only below 1700 even tho there were repeats and in the last 20 all hell broke lose 😂
matching against 70-80pts with my 10 😂

[noble sparrow]

we'll do other types of arenas if everyone gets in da club

you can suggest them

[amber urchin]

👍

[noble sparrow]

I'll set them up, really

#1090365050067365948

[real barn]

Thought he could beat me with his +20 material

[latent hawk]

do pawnless if thats a thing 😂
maybe atomic

[restive oak]

Rapid 10 min please, or at least 5. 3 mins is too fast for me... 😅

[latent hawk]

so true\

[oak beacon]

How do I check events in which I've participated?

[opaque ingot]

Who won random Diamond

[noble sparrow]

no increments in arenas, cause it's about playing a lot of games real fast

[noble sparrow]

tourneys tab but just go to our club and go "live tournaments" "finished" or completed or smth

[quasi fjord]

how do i get beta testser

[oak beacon]

Obrigado

[real barn]

In the last 18 seconds I started a game and did the Berlin Wall gambit

[noble sparrow]

ask. I'll give you in a min

[opaque ingot]

Setting

[noble sparrow]

oh

yeah

there? thought it was the flair here

[quasi fjord]

??

[noble sparrow]

where do you mean beta tester. on chess.com or here on the discord

[quasi fjord]

both lol

[opaque ingot]

Chess com in settings

[livid moss]

What time is it

[noble sparrow]

here you ask me

[noble sparrow]

it just ended

[quasi fjord]

can i have beta flair lol

[real barn]

It’s 1am for me rn

[noble sparrow]

(yes just gave u )

[opaque ingot]

19:08

[quasi fjord]

LMAO Thansk

[restive oak]

Alright, later everyone. GG

[cobalt totem]

You can become a beta tester?

[gritty light]

So unfair CM ultranemesis! He is lost in the last game with me, but he waited for the tournament end even I have sent a draw proposal.

[coral wren]

its how arenas work

[livid moss]

rip

[latent hawk]

ye someone did that to me too

[gritty light]

I risked to lose 3rd place but I would have been very happy for him to lose 1st place.

[oak beacon]

He doesnt get a prize tho (I hope)

[oak beacon]

So you basically got 2nd

[quasi fjord]

why are y'all hating on him

[oak beacon]

Bc the point of this arena (other than having fun) is to get a diamond membership

For a certain amount of time

Titled players have diamond memberships for life

[quasi fjord]

titled players wont get rewards.

[gritty light]

That's why we can see how ugly his character....

[oak beacon]

So there's absolutely no reason why they should participate in this arena

If they dont get a prize it's fine

[amber urchin]

dude you barely played any strong player anyway, be glad you got third

[latent hawk]

its sorta pointless for him to participate and is sorta just bullying imo 😂

[oak beacon]

If they do, it's kinda dumb

[amber urchin]

i played every 2100+ twice

i had to play the cm 3 times

[oak beacon]

LMAOO

[gritty light]

Strong player??? Pfff, he play zero chess. Just run idiotic. I don't know how he is +2600

[amber urchin]

he will adopt you and your family

he was playing on mobile

[gritty light]

I think you are the CM

[oak beacon]

I was playing on mobile too lmao

[gritty light]

Shame!

[coral wren]

he will adopt you in any tc 🗿

[amber urchin]

no im the guy who got 4th

[oak beacon]

No lmao

[amber urchin]

you dont see me crying

[oak beacon]

Exactly

[coral wren]

stop being so salty

i got 16th

[oak beacon]

@gritty light Español?

[amber urchin]

my guy cries because he almost lost 3rd

[oak beacon]

I got 14th

[coral wren]

i only lost one game i shouldnt have, and resigned another against a stronger player

[oak beacon]

So you got 3rd

[oak beacon]

I made a draw against a 1374 😭

Bro is typing the Bible

[gritty light]

vimun, there is a fact very unfair. But you speking to not... sleeping

[oak beacon]

Rewriting the Quran

[oak beacon]

He is also saying the system is unfair

He's agreeing with you

But tbh I think titled players shouldn't be allowed

They just ruin the fun for others for absolutely no reason

[shrewd wren]

only could play 2 games and got 81th

[oak beacon]

I played non stop and didn't even get 40 pts

[gritty light]

I agree! They have Titled Tuesday.

[oak beacon]

Should have gotten a longer win streak smh

[oak beacon]

100% agree with you

[gritty light]

BUt there, people like ultranemesis got 3-4 points

[oak beacon]

He got 81 pts I believe

[coral wren]

let him have his fun too lmao

[coral wren]

you did get top 3 did you not?

[latent hawk]

there r lots of other tourneys for him to hv fun, he doesnt need to join one where pirizes r involved when he knows therlel be mismatch

[gritty light]

Yes. But I hate such desperates people.

[split widget]

Well, he is in all his right to claim a prize

[oak beacon]

They could have fun in Titled Tuesday 🙂

[shrewd wren]

i dont see the problem, sure he won, but he didnt win any price, so why would we exlude titled players?

[coral wren]

be mad at me if you want because i told him about the arena

[opaque ingot]

Take away his rights then

[split widget]

Dont be salty cuz yall lost to a CM

[oak beacon]

They ruin everyone's win streaks

[latent hawk]

casue i played him like thrice as 1k 😂

[tender gate]

I lost to a winning game against Anita just because of a wrong knight move

[split widget]

Politician mindset

[shrewd wren]

if everyone loses it, nobody does,

[latent hawk]

i hung m1 in a perfetc position too 😂

[shrewd wren]

oof, did you win

[oak beacon]

What prize?

[gritty light]

because they distort the results

[oak beacon]

That's the problem

[latent hawk]

im somewgere in 40 range

[split widget]

Who's the CM and the 2nd place? I haven't seen them around here

[oak beacon]

Not everyone gets the CM

[latent hawk]

😑

[shrewd wren]

if he didnt have the title but the same 2400 or whatnot elo he would be allowed tho

[coral wren]

CM is "active' in another server, from a streamer server, i talked about arena there and he got interested

[latent hawk]

nah, i say dont allow any 2k+

[coral wren]

what

[opaque ingot]

Bruh

[oak beacon]

The 2nd place guy

[tender gate]

Too much adrenaline rush to handle

[shrewd wren]

why discriminate

[oak beacon]

But that's not a problem

Bc they want a membership

That's perfectly fine

[split widget]

Just learn to take some losses man

[latent hawk]

cause if they arent allowed to win prizes, its just bullying 😂

[coral wren]

titled players have lifetime membership

[oak beacon]

But there's 0 reason for a titled player to participate in the arena

[shrewd wren]

so is chess. the good players win

[oak beacon]

Yes I know

[split widget]

2nd place was a 2100 I thonk

Think*

[shrewd wren]

dont ban m cuz they are better than most of us

[oak beacon]

That's why I'm saying there's 0 reason a titled player should play

[shrewd wren]

thats unfair

[oak beacon]

It's not a ban

Just don't let em participate in these arenas

Bc there's no point

[split widget]

That's a ban

[shrewd wren]

dont exclude m cuz they are better than most of us

[split widget]

You're banning them from the arenas

[oak beacon]

That's a rule not a ban

Players must follow rules

[opaque ingot]

The actual problem here is the fact players aren't paired according to their rating because not enough people.

[split widget]

Rule where? Ive never read that

[shrewd wren]

true

[oak beacon]

You are not getting the point

[amber urchin]

let them play, he just played cause he was bored not to ruin your day specifically lol

[oak beacon]

It should be

[split widget]

But it's not

[shrewd wren]

if 2000+ would only play other 2000+'s it would be fine

[oak beacon]

The problem is they ruin the pts, some people get them and lose their win streak, others dont

[split widget]

So learn to bear it or leave the arenas

[latent hawk]

tru

[amber urchin]

that wouldnt work

[split widget]

Well, that's called losing, right?

[amber urchin]

then blame the system

[shrewd wren]

yes it would, but for that you need way more players, hunderds

[latent hawk]

only issue is when there is lack of enough players and 1k r matching 2300s

[oak beacon]

Yes but you shouldn't lose to a person that shouldn't be there in the first place

[shrewd wren]

exactly

[amber urchin]

you would need thousands until you can get a semi decent collection of 2000s

[split widget]

What about the 2nd and third place? They're not titled

[split widget]

Yup

[shrewd wren]

not thousands, but hunderds yes

[oak beacon]

They are in all their right bc they're playing for a membership

[amber urchin]

i proposed a swiss system instead of arena in #1090365050067365948 which would fit better for such a thing

[shrewd wren]

thats already in the works

[amber urchin]

👍

[gritty light]

I think the whole discussion about this CM was generated by his ugly behavior. In several games he was lost. Some he won by running like a mad cow. With me he let the time (more than a minute) run out. I can't complain, because the game was cancelled until the last game of the tournament.

[shrewd wren]

also if you truely think its not fair and all, just dont play?

[split widget]

Or just do Under Arenas, a U1000, U1500 and Open

[amber urchin]

[split widget]

You got 2nd place right?

[oak beacon]

Why should I do, if the problem is the titled guy not me

[split widget]

Nothing. It's not your job

[amber urchin]

why do i not have the top 5 role

[gritty light]

3rd

[shrewd wren]

because you wont lose or gain anything from it, its supposed to be just for fun, if you dont have fun, dont play

[amber urchin]

do i need to claim it somewhere

[waxen sparrow]

I got +16 elo for beating a 2300

[oak beacon]

And the point is?

[gritty light]

or yes, without CM I'm 2nd

[amber urchin]

you prob beat me lol

[oak beacon]

I want a membership 💀

And I'm not talking just for me

[split widget]

I'm messed up. Who's the 2nd?

[waxen sparrow]

Probably

[shrewd wren]

[split widget]

Then win the arena :p

[oak beacon]

Other people, in the 2000s, could have gotten a membership but didn't bc of the CM

That's not fair

[waxen sparrow]

Is your username tilt?

[amber urchin]

yea

[shrewd wren]

cuz the CM is ... a CM.. ofcourse he is going to be good

[split widget]

Well, they just gotta play better

[opaque ingot]

Real

[waxen sparrow]

That was a wild game

At least for me

[opaque ingot]

Should have thought about that ngl

[amber urchin]

yea lol

[oak beacon]

Ok but why would a CM join an Arena where they can't gain absolutely nothing? Not even elo bc they're so high

[amber urchin]

guys does anyone know how or when you get the top 5 role

[amber urchin]

he was bored

[split widget]

Yea

[oak beacon]

That's not a reason

[shrewd wren]

cuz they are chess players just like u and me, for fun, as it is supposed to be

[amber urchin]

thats legit the reason why he played

[oak beacon]

Go play rated then

[amber urchin]

he said it himself

[oak beacon]

Yeah but it's not a valid reason

[shrewd wren]

he doesnt have to if he doesnt want to

[split widget]

What would be the reason then, boss?

[oak beacon]

It's like saying I'll make an alt account to beat 1000s bc I'm bored

Is that allowed? No

[amber urchin]

what valid reason does he have to have then

[split widget]

Why don't you fill out some forms about what everyone should do then? You just anrgy cuz u didn't get ur membership

[oak beacon]

None, there's no reason for him to join the arena, that's what I'm saying

[oak beacon]

0 reasons

[shrewd wren]

if i were a CM i would also join arenas just to win, cuz i grinded for that high rating to win everything

[split widget]

According to you

[oak beacon]

I literally have a membership 🤡🤡

[split widget]

Then why join?

[oak beacon]

I'm talking about the experience in general

[split widget]

You have 0 reasons

[oak beacon]

I wanted to get the role

In discord

[shrewd wren]

can try again every single week

[oak beacon]

And just participate in my first arena

[split widget]

So you prefer to get a role and steal a membership from another person?

[oak beacon]

Also I only have the 7 day trial

[split widget]

Dam, 0 reasons

Enjoy it then

[amber urchin]

why do i not have my role

[oak beacon]

.

[oak beacon]

Win what exactly?

[thorn raptor]

not rly a fair tourny tbh

[amber urchin]

its not fair cause better players win?

[shrewd wren]

win in chess

[amber urchin]

[oak beacon]

Bc of the CM it's not fair

Shouldn't be allowed

[amber urchin]

cant believe u guys are still crying abt this

[shrewd wren]

he wins cuz he is better, not because he is a CM

[oak beacon]

I didn't even play against the CM but it is plain to see how unfair and unnecessary their presence is

[thorn raptor]

yee you got it

[gritty light]

No, is not better

[amber urchin]

what if someone is 2200 but didnt claim the CM title, can he play then?

[gritty light]

is tricker and unfair

[amber urchin]

ur logic is flawed

[oak beacon]

So should I make an alt acc and beat hundreds of 1000s just bc I'm better and that's fine?

[oak beacon]

Yeah why not

[gritty light]

I played a lot of strong players in this tournament

[amber urchin]

he... didnt do that?

[oak beacon]

Nope

[gritty light]

But not the CM

[amber urchin]

you didnt play me

[oak beacon]

Someone that is not titled has a perfect reason to join

Bc they want a membership

[oak beacon]

It's equivalent

[shrewd wren]

thats not even a correct comparinson. making an alt account it illegal but winning games against people that are x amount of elo lower than you is perfecty legal

[oak beacon]

By him joining the tourney, he cannot gain any elo, no prize, probably already has the role in discord

[gritty light]

well.. we will play in the future

[amber urchin]

doing something against cc tos and playing an arena is not even close

[amber urchin]

he can def gain elo lol

[oak beacon]

Like 4 elo, in 15 matches

0 sense

[gritty light]

AT what is good this rating?

[amber urchin]

also im not even sure he is active here

[oak beacon]

Even worse 💀

[amber urchin]

@median moss

[gritty light]

If have 2600 and play like a cow

[amber urchin]

these bozos are still talking abt you

[oak beacon]

This is even worse

He literally only joined to ruin people's experience

That is definitely not fair

[shrewd wren]

[gritty light]

to show what?

[amber urchin]

sounds like a fun use of an hour

[oak beacon]

Titled players shouldn't be allowed, I stand by that

[amber urchin]

i would do that too tbh

[oak beacon]

Just go play rated for an hour

[gritty light]

I agree

[opaque ingot]

Ban all of them

[oak beacon]

They could perfectly make a U2000 arena and an open arena

Or U1500, and one Open

I wouldn't even be able to join the U1500

But it would be better for the overall experience

[shrewd wren]

nah i disagree

but do leave the suggestion in the #1090365050067365948

[oak beacon]

We agree to disagree

[shrewd wren]

perhaps the server can vote for it or whatever

[median moss]

what

[oak beacon]

Done

[simple spruce]

I lost to that CM, im soo proud

[gritty light]

https://www.chess.com/game/live/75230482105

[opaque ingot]

When will the results be posted

[gritty light]

https://share.chessbase.com/SharedGames/share/?p=POZ5s0P3jHl5Sj6Iemu1VV0HfAPt68PZYgVS5CTxawz2xVOvTcZb7EA+TMOnJpS0

1 minute and 3 seconds black moved nothing in the final position after Be5

I proposed the draw but the great Candidate of Master preferred to let time run out.

[oak beacon]

Not only he shouldn't be there, but he was also tryharding? Very lame imo

Like if he joined to have fun

He would have kept playing until the end

If he stalled means he especifically wanted to get #1

For absolutely no reason

#1096493390717272216 go read my thread if you guys agree or disagree, could also add suggestions

[coral wren]

elo

[oak beacon]

Then don't join if you are worried about elo 💀

You know you'll be playing against players at least 300 elo below you

There's a risk you could lose 20 elo in one match

So why even join, that's the whole point

[coral wren]

https://i.imgur.com/pGTM4fT.png

[coral wren]

obviously he knew that, so thats why he stalled, check link

[oak beacon]

The cons far outweigh the pros

[coral wren]

it was his risk to take, he took it and he didnt lose

[oak beacon]

Shouldn't have joined in the first place, stalling is shitty behavior (if you have nothing to win for)

[oak beacon]

Yeah ok he took it, for what reason? None

At least no valid reason

[coral wren]

we already went over this

[coral wren]

in your eyes, but not his

[oak beacon]

How to upload imgs to reddit???? 🤨

[oak beacon]

Not in my eyes

By using an objective point of view

There's no valid reason he should join

None

[coral wren]

objective?

[oak beacon]

Yup

[bold arrow]

Tough

Get better at the game

[coral wren]

so your opinion is the only one that matters?

🗿

[quasi fjord]

i think that titled players joining makes the tournament more profesional

[oak beacon]

I'm talking objectively

[coral wren]

you know whats right? and im just wrong?

[oak beacon]

As I said, I didn't even play against the CM

I didn't get affected

[oak beacon]

This is dumb

The arena is just for fun

There's no need for professionalism

[quasi fjord]

if you're just playing for rewards and roles you should be suggesting a <2k tournament

[amber urchin]

then just play with your u1500 buddies without prizes

make your own arena

[bold arrow]

So why are you annoyed that he joined

[quasi fjord]

if you're playing for FUN then whats the problem with playing a cm

[oak beacon]

I actually did, go read #1096493390717272216

[bold arrow]

Lmao

🧂

[quasi fjord]

at this point it seems you're just asking for chess.com premium

[amber urchin]

feels like mister civic got massively skill issued

[coral wren]

achievement, role, fun:
where's your objectiveness?

[oak beacon]

Bc it's an objectively bad thing and it affects the overall experience, it's easy to see

[coral wren]

HOW IS IT OBJECTIVE?

[amber urchin]

its bad that he joined because i said so, it's easy to see

[quasi fjord]

i dont see it

[amber urchin]

[coral wren]

since i literally dont mind it its literally not objective 🗿

[bold arrow]

[oak beacon]

I didn't get the CM in the arena

Now you guys are making pointless arguments attacking me

[amber urchin]

then why do you even complain

[coral wren]

attacking?

you're the one who said whatever you said is objective

while it clearly isnt

[bold arrow]

[oak beacon]

Bc I know it is something that ruins the overlall experience, I don't have to be directly affected by it to know that

[coral wren]

it wouldnt ruin my experience

[amber urchin]

how does having legitimately good players in the arena ruin anyones experience?

[coral wren]

some other people would enjoy fighting a CM as well

[oak beacon]

It ruins the majority's experience

[amber urchin]

and dont start with that butthurt 2000

[quasi fjord]

i would be so happy to play a cm

[coral wren]

and that makes your opinion a fact?

[bold arrow]

Define majority

[oak beacon]

Titled players*

[amber urchin]

yeah?

[oak beacon]

Untitled players

[amber urchin]

what is the diff

[oak beacon]

Go read my threat I literally went over all of this

[bold arrow]

Id rather face him then some 500 elo cheater

[amber urchin]

[oak beacon]

#1096493390717272216

Go read it

[bold arrow]

I did

[coral wren]

#1096493390717272216 i went with him for a while

[amber urchin]

i read it and i still dont understand

[oak beacon]

The cheating moderation was good this arena

2 players got banned before it even started

So that's not an issue

[amber urchin]

there was one still playing, road only won against him on time

so no

[oak beacon]

You have poor reading comprehension then

[coral wren]

it can be, fairplay doesnt catch every account

[bold arrow]

Exactly

[amber urchin]

this guy cant be real

[coral wren]

he meant that he doesnt understand your stand

your view

your reasons

[oak beacon]

Yes ofc it can be an issue but it has nothing to do with the issue of titled players

[coral wren]

primarily your reasons and logic

[cold jasper]

Sorry can you provide a few other synonyms I didn’t understand

[bold arrow]

If it makes you feel better @oak beacon CM isn’t a real title

[coral wren]

[oak beacon]

I said he has poor reading comprehension bc he asked a question about something I already said in the threat

If he had good reading comprehension he wouldn't have asked that

[amber urchin]

why would i read an entire thread of you rambling

it doesnt make any sense

[oak beacon]

So you didn't read it

[amber urchin]

i read the first thing

[oak beacon]

So this is false

[bold arrow]

How
