Online chess is considered correspondence play, and goes by different rules than tournament OTB games.
Past games and opening theory is perfectly acceptable when it can take days for a move to be made (as in play-by-email or play-by-letter games)
Third party help relating directly to a specific position, however, is always forbidden, save in casual and teaching matches.
Originally posted by eldragonflyFunny you should mention that. OTB games used to be adjourned. During the adjournment [overnight, before next day's resumption of play], a player was allowed to consult books and databases [think endgame books], or even have a team of other players analyze the position for him!
Oh you pathetic fools! Except you wouldn't use a book nor would you use a database in a real OTB game or tournament game.
I've also prepared opening lines for my OTB opponents. The only limitation is that I must have it all memorized before the round starts.
The question was:
Game 4823334 & Game 4823335
2 players banned at the same time..
Now who will be awarded the wins here? 😛

Find a dictionary and look up something like "terms of service". Then read the TOS here (read 3(b) twice).
Dragontits, you must be the most difficult and argumentative person I have ever seen on these forums. You have now replaced nmdavidb as the single most irritating poster on this site. Congratulations.
Also, you might want to consider trying out the opening books as a resource because your chess desperately needs it. I am by no means a top level player and I could beat you easily (without books or databases) on my worst day after a three paper cannon and a bottle-cap full of coke.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
