Interesting discussion so far about the online cheating issue.
For what is worth, I have played extensively in FICS since at least 2008, Chess.com since at least 2010, and Lichess since last...
[QUOTE=Hal Bond;34536]FIDE Representative Report
After much preparation and planning, FIDE has launched its “Chess ID” program. This is the brainchild of FIDE ED, GM Victor Bologan. Here is a...
Simple proposal for online chess (from here on abbreviated as ONL) under CFC:

ONLINE chess during and beyond the pandemic.
Hello everyone,
For the past few months online chess (I am only talking here about CFC-rated and sanctioned games, not the multiples avenues for...

I wanted to share some ideas with the CFC community about the success (or not?) of the recent string of CFC-rated online tournaments. First and most important, I want to make clear that: a) I am new...
I also watched the FIDE seminar on online arbitrators... Very interesting and an indication that "official" online chess is here to stay. Indeed FIDE wouldn't go to the trouble of preparing such a...
Even better, there is a news today from FIDE saying that, due to the great interest that seminar for arbiters in online chess events has generated, they will broadcast it live on the FIDE Youtube...
Hi Bob and everyone else,
It is GREAT to see you all talking more about online chess and especially CFC-rated ones. Please, do not "despair" because not enough attention has been reached... It is...
