ChessRivo Fair Play
Understand ChessRivo’s expectations for honest play, rating integrity and respectful competition.
Play your own moves
In human rated or competitive games, choose your own moves. Do not use chess engines, move-generating software, external analysis, another person or automated systems to decide moves during the game.
Protect rating integrity
Do not arrange results, intentionally lose to transfer rating, coordinate accounts, exploit reconnects or use multiple accounts to distort rankings or tournament results.
Normal tools versus prohibited help
Post-game analysis, ChessRivo Academy, puzzles and AI games are training features and are allowed outside a live competitive human game. Assistance during a live rated human game is not allowed unless the format explicitly says otherwise.
Behavioral signals
ChessRivo may track signals such as rapid resignations, repeated cancellations, disconnect patterns, stalling or other unusual behavior. A signal is not automatically proof of cheating. It can be used as context for review and platform safety.
Reports and review
Players may report suspicious or abusive behavior. Reviews should consider the full context of games and account activity. ChessRivo may warn, restrict or suspend accounts when there is sufficient reason under the platform rules.
Respect your opponent
Fair play includes respectful behavior. Do not harass opponents, abuse chat, deliberately waste time.
