📋 Site Rules

Welcome to our chess community
We are happy to have you join this site, created with one goal: enjoying chess and building beautiful friendships.

🤝 Respect First
Mutual respect is the foundation of our community. Please treat all players with kindness and warmth.

🕊️ A Safe Space for Everyone
We believe chess is a universal language that unites people from different backgrounds and cultures. Therefore, the following topics are strictly prohibited:

  • Religion and sects in all forms
  • Politics and political parties
  • Nationalism, race, and sectarianism
  • Any topic that may cause division or conflict

⚠️ Important Notice: Any violation of this rule will result in immediate account suspension without prior warning.

🎯 Play with Sportsmanship
Please do not use chess analysis software (engines) during games. Remember:

  • This site is for fun, not fierce competition
  • Winning by cheating defeats the purpose of the game
  • We are here to learn and enjoy together

⚠️ Before Filing a Complaint
If you suspect your opponent is using an engine, please:

  • Review their profile and rating
  • Analyze the game using the analysis tool available on the site
  • File a complaint only after confirming

Remember: Losing to a strong player doesn't necessarily mean they are cheating.

💡 Your Suggestions Matter
If you have any ideas to improve the site, we'd love to hear them.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you enjoyable times on the chessboard! ♟️
