Look, I know some people are strict rule followers and thats cool; to each, their own. I tend to look at the intent of the rule and possble negative consequences of breaking the rule. If the OP was to set up 2 fresh chess.com accounts and use these to play unrated games against each other:

1) Why would anyone care?

2) How is anyone going to know?

3) What would happen if someone cared and he was found out? (I consider this unlikely)

They'd ban his two fresh accounts which are used to do nothing but play unrated games against each other. Rinse and repeat.

It would be nice if chess.com had this fuctionality and it is a good suggestion but things cost time and money. Lighten up people and admit it was a good idea instead of justifying why you didn't think of it first.

 So basically you are encouraging people to break the rules of the site, and explaining to them how to do it. I assume you can be banned for conspiring to cheat, so taking care as to what you post may be a good idea. Making suggestions as to how to improve the site would surely be time better spent.

 There is a feature here enabling you to enter games which can be added to forums for discussion. But, for it to be useful to us, we would need it to feed into a database. Then we would also like this database to be linked to our regular chess.com games too, right? Sounds relatively straightforward from my limited computing knowledge - but I can understand that it may be more time consuming for the staff, rather than difficult to implement.


That would be great, Manchero. Chess.com staff, are you reading this thread? If so, tell us what do you think? I don't think it is too difficult since a worse site, like GameKnot let's store commented games, when you have great features that site doesn't have, like computer analysis, playing against the computer, Tactics Trainer and , of course, Chess Mentor. Maybe I'm wrong, but a word from you is necessary here.

Two of your premium members need an special feature to consolidate almost all of their chess experience and don't lose time going from one service to another. What do you thing Chess.com staff?
