ChessVeda is committed to a fair, competitive, and enjoyable environment where every player competes honestly, respectfully, and independently.
By using ChessVeda, participating in tournaments, training programs, leagues, or any platform activity, users agree to comply with this Fair Play & Anti-Cheating Policy.
Players must play their own moves, make decisions independently, respect opponents, arbiters, coaches, and organizers, follow event-specific regulations, and report suspected cheating or abuse responsibly. Any action that provides an unfair advantage is prohibited.
ChessVeda strictly forbids engine assistance, AI or LLM-based move suggestions, browser extensions or overlays, voice assistants, image-recognition tools, outside help from other people, collusion, coordinated draws, multiple-account abuse, account sharing, smurfing, rating manipulation, tournament fraud, impersonation, and unauthorized automated play.
For selected events, ChessVeda may require identity verification, camera monitoring, screen sharing, room scans, live supervision, browser restrictions, anti-cheating software, streaming delays, restricted spectator access, or temporary chat limitations. Failure to comply may result in removal, disqualification, or disciplinary action.
ChessVeda may use statistical game analysis, move-pattern analysis, behavioral monitoring, performance consistency checks, tournament reviews, community reports, automated systems, and Fair Play Team review. Investigation methods are confidential. Players may report suspected cheating through official support channels with usernames, event details, game links, and supporting evidence.
ChessVeda may apply safeguards for minors, restrict communications, and act immediately against abusive or exploitative conduct. Users may not misuse courses, assessments, certificates, or premium content. Official ChessVeda bots may be used only where permitted and may not be manipulated for unfair ratings, rewards, or rankings.
Penalties may include warnings, tournament restrictions, rating adjustments, prize withholding, temporary suspension, disqualification, permanent bans, leaderboard removal, title revocation, prize recovery, or cancellation of results. Appeals must be submitted in writing within 14 days of disciplinary action with username, event details, evidence, and explanation.
This Fair Play & Anti-Cheating Policy is governed by the laws of India. ChessVeda may amend this policy to address emerging technologies, new forms of cheating, legal requirements, or operational needs. Disputes are subject to competent courts in New Delhi, India.
