Fair Play Policy

Draft — subject to legal review before launch.

No outside assistance

Using chess engines, bots, databases or another person’s help during a game is prohibited.

One account

Each person may hold one account. Creating accounts to manipulate ratings, tournaments or prizes is prohibited.

No collusion

Pre-arranging results, deliberately losing, or sharing information with other competitors is prohibited.

How we detect cheating

We analyse games statistically (including comparison with engine analysis), timing patterns and account behaviour. Automated systems only flag games; trained moderators review every case before a decision.

Process

Flagged → Under review → Decision. Outcomes may include warnings, result reversal, rating adjustment, prize forfeiture, suspension or closure. You may appeal a decision.
