I see one player claiming to be 9, could that be true?

How can you be assured that anyone who "joins" is actually at least 13?

Well this person says he/she is 9 on his/her profile. If that person is not 9, isn't something fishy going on? Either way...

If it looks like a fish, sounds like a fish and smells like a fish it may be foolin' ya.

The person in question was born February 29, 1976.

Problem solved.

This person with the 900 rating.

They must have changed the rules, I just went over everything I could see on this site about age limits and find nothing now. So I guess, like you said, no problem, even if he is a genuine 21st century kid.

I didn't want to say the name in case the kid really is 9 and there is no rule against it. I would want to encourage kids to play.

To register on this site you have to click a box that says "I am over the age of 13". I've not seen any instance where that has been used as grounds for a banning. I'd say if the kid behaves reasonably he's in no danger of a ban.

I thought this was an 18+ Chess site, so I got a one day Banning for my crude and sometimes explicit language ffs...In my day Children were happy with a plank of wood, outside for hours...

...I am sorry if my words have caused any offence and/or distress to the Happy-Little-Campers... *salute* 😀😀😀

When a user first signs up, he/she must attest on the opening screen that they are "over the age of 13."

Of course we all know 10-12 year olds would NEVER LIE about their age! 😕
