Pit for LM
Auto-translated
Why is such a thread needed? Why even write reports for fan games?
During the season, we have accumulated many problems.
1. Many newcomers don't want to immediately play for a rating; they want to try it out, practice, and learn the rules first. But to participate in tournaments, organizers require reports. This thread can be used to write reports and learn. For organizers, such reports will have the same value as reports in the thread for rated games.
2. On the other hand, we often see accusations against some players – that they are boosting their rating by playing against newcomers. Indeed, you look, and the player is in the top ten in the rating, but the opponents are all unfamiliar nicknames, players with 1-3 games, and those who have disappeared. Of course, newcomers need to play not only among themselves but also against stronger opponents. They need to understand their level at the very beginning and whether they want to play constantly and learn something, or if they just want to play once and that's enough, it's not interesting. Such games should not be included in the rating. Chess Federations don't include games played on a park bench between beginners and pensioners in the rating.
3. Players who have been added to the Blacklist and want to rehabilitate themselves. Their games are not included in the rating, i.e., I will not include them in the thread with the automatic compilation of reports. But how can they rehabilitate themselves if they don't play? Write reports here; they will not be included in the rating, but they will be the basis for a possible review of the decision.
4. A very serious problem is clones. In the past year, about 20 clones have been banned in our section, and during the autumn season, I canceled several dozen reports of our players with clones and clones playing against themselves. The forum administration needs a certain amount of time to check new users. Many accounts are registered on HW every day; it is impossible to check everyone at once.
All these and other considerations, agreed upon in the Arbitration Committee, led to the idea that we need a thread for fun games.
With the emergence of the automatic tournament thread system, we have gained the ability to monitor the participants of the season. Currently, to register a newcomer in the seasonal rating, at least 5 detailed reports on games with different opponents in this thread will be required. I will temporarily refuse to register users with 1-2 messages on the forum or with 10 messages in the "Let's agree to play" thread for rated games. In any sport, you need to first prove your desire and ability to take things seriously, and only then participate in all sorts of tournaments.
