Frequently Asked Questions: Member Account
Can I have multiple accounts?

No, not only do we strongly discourage the use of multiple accounts; we also consider it a form of cheating.

While there are no really good reasons to have more than one account, there are several rather bad reasons for doing so:  

  • to artificially increase one's chess rating by playing fake games with non-existent "members"
  • to vote multiple times per move in a Vote Chess game
  • to allow a player to see comments on their games in progress
  • to create mischief in the forums

Please restrict yourself to a single Chess.com account, and avoid all suspicion.

Also, if it's just a new username you are after, please see here
