I can’t seem to find a way to view my tournaments, team matches, vote chess and forums. It could be buried in the app, but then that means an interface change is needed

Time clocks.

This site is infested with cheaters. 1 minute games are the only games you can play but the clock is faulty so you lose most games based on the clock. I time the games using a stop watch, these games are usually anywhere from 2 min 20 seconds and higher, so much time is added so you always lose by 1 - 2 seconds but usually by more. Games above 1 minute forget it your odds are almost zero, I’ve played for 35 so where my rating was previously about 1600-1800 now it’s at 1000-1100. Sometimes I get to 1400 but they send me backdown with all their scam games. Whether they are using bots, fake players, rigged clocks who knows. I’m pretty good at calculating odds and believe me these are not random games we are being paired up with. There are days the games seem at a different level so obviously this site is a scam. Looking at the game reports don’t tell the full truth whether they show you 90 percentile or 20 percentile. A good player might find it frustrating being paired to a 20-40 percentile player as most moves are just not logical. After so many years of playing in this site it gets worse and worse.

We understand that issues with the game clock can be frustrating. Please try deleting and reinstalling the app, and if the problem persists, use the help feature for assistance. In terms of cheating concerns, cheat detection is a top priority for us, with multiple algorithms and dedicated staff working on this. If you suspect cheating, you can report it by tapping the opponent's avatar.
It’s a “free” app.
