The club wishes to congratulate lochmatic and Jayant Maheshwari (Flareblitz7) for their 1st place tie in our free entry November 14th Online Rapid tournament with each player scoring a perfect 4/4 points. However, lochmatic, a player from Russia, did not register for the tournament and therefore is not eligible to win prizes.

Reminder of Chess.com’s Fair Play Policies For Online Tournaments
Chess.com has strict Fair Play policies and advanced software analysis tools regarding players who appear to be using some form of electronic assistance (e.g. chess engines) in making their moves in tournament games played on their platform.
In fact, after a chess.com review process of our May 9th online tournament, two of our players in that tournament, who finished in 1st & 2nd place, were flagged by chess.com for their unrealistic accuracy rate in games against titled National Master players. As such, both players had their accounts closed by chess.com and were disqualified from winning their place prizes.
