Unfair Ruling and judging of prize winners in the FIDE Social chess day

Thanks

You too mango

Just kidding

It’s as if fide were just trying to give a prize to anyone who didn’t deserve it

Hi zoomie, maybe you remember me. I also noticed that many of these people were banned / their acc is closed, like @ikkkofa (olympiad invitation) and @Drake (talk with GM Abasov). Here is the list of the prize winners: www.fide.com/fide-celebrates-5-5-million-moves-and-announces-prize-winners-for-social-chess-day-tournament/ As a side note, it was also interesting to see that I actually knew some of the prize winners.
Hi again, yeah. same here, was completely confused and a bit annoyed. Since many semi inactive dudes were chosen. But a moderator said we will be updated. Congrats on your result too!

Just trying to keep this thing at the very top of the forum until we get an update, so that it isnt forgotten...

Yeah so that at least someone wins the prizes fairly you know

Please don't bumping up threads is not allowed action and will lead at least to closing the thread.

Thanks bro! im heartbroken, after losing 148 rating there too.

I wholeheartedly agree with you but I do not see why your rating should be refunded. After all, nobody was cheating... right?
