I will not rest until you make puzzle rush completely free for all. This pay2win bs sux!

I mean seriously, why is anyone still playing on this sh1tty page, when there is lichess.org, a completely free advertisement free chess platform run by the community which provides so much more functionality than chess.com. chess.com just seems like a greedy business that doesn't care about the player but only about making them pay for even the most basic features.

Have fun playing chess guys :-)

Please lichess team! It would be awesome to have Puzzle Rush here! We could call it Tactics Rush!
He was banned because he cheated to get the highest score. I don't know whether we should be proud that a cheater endorsed us. Rest everything you said is correct
I thought it would be impossible to tell if someone cheated at puzzles
@bracenoodle
he used a timer exploit which extends the timer to beyond 5 mins. There must be a way for the admins to check this or they just banned him because it is next to impossible that a non titled player beat Hikaru's record
I didn't realize they were timed
Altering the timer sounds like something that could be detected

I'm amazed that people cheat at these things; I don't understand what an 1800 player gains by going online, using an engine, and pretending to be a 2400 player
