Forum

Hello everyone, I'm creating this forum to share updates regarding bug and feature updates relevant to club administrators.

Please take a moment to introduce yourself and your club. Let us know who you are as a person and a chess player and what your club is all about. Please remember to include the club link but NOT a join link.

Admin guides are not rules that you must follow in your own club. They are examples that you can adopt in full or in part if you find them useful. Feel free to copy them and share them elsewhere, but if you borrow heavily from someone else's work it would be polite to credit them. Please DO the following: Comment on the games, giving suggested moves or strategies. Giving your analysis and getting feedback from stronger players is a great way to learn. And you might help us find the best move; teamwork is very important. Feel free to question stronger players; it's a great way to learn, and you might pick up on something they missed. We recently won a game because I spotted a tactic that had been missed by people rated several hundred points above me. I've also suggested moves and had someone explain why it was a very bad idea. Wait to vote until the last 24 hours or so; this gives time for people to comment with their analysis of the position. The more people we have looking at a position, the better our chances of coming up with the best move. The later you vote, the more comments you can see and take into account as you decide what move to vote for. If we are coming up to the deadline and we still have no consensus on the best move, feel free to post on the TUTC main page with a link to the game asking for input. I like to go to the main vote chess page (under the Play menu, click "Vote Chess") and vote on everything with a deadline in the next 24 hours. Read the comments before voting. Please do NOT do the following: Vote early, unless you won't be able to vote closer to the deadline. You can't change your vote, and if you vote early, you miss the benefit of all the comments that come after your vote. Vote for a move that has not been discussed in the discussion thread for the move. If you want to play a move that has not been mentioned, add a comment explaining why you think it's a good move, so that other players can consider it too. Vote without looking at the opinions of the players in the comments. Use an engine to help you come up with a good move. This is cheating and can get you banned from the site. Have another useful set of rules for vote chess, or any other useful comments? If so, please share in the comments!

Hello, if anyone is interested in making events in my club (link below) please join my club and comment below and I will promote you to coordinator! https://www.chess.com/club/the-game-changers Thanks, @Calebaleb12!

So I have noticed that one the players from my club has been playing a cheater. (How i know is that they a 1100 won against a 1900 with almost all their moves top 3 engine moves). Now it's a daily match, with me playing the last game meaning if i win it's a draw and if i lose well our club lost the match . Now if the cheater gets banned what happens to the match will the match points be refunded? and make my club win/draw the match?
