The number of players sandbagging for a lower rating so as to have an advantage is crazy. Apparently FIDE don't have a problem with it. it is near impossible to get a match where the opponent doesn't cancel the match in an attempt to manipulate their rating.Considering that the only reason buy the pro version is to play rated matches the afore mentioned problems make in not worth the price. I'll be cancelling my pro membership and return to lichess, which is by far a better app and experience.

one of the most regrettable things about the game is the lack of regulation against unsportsmanlike behavior. A losing player can just decide to stall and run out the time instead of resigning in a 10 min rapid match and you can't even communicate with them. We need a solution to this...

Hey Chess arena you need to fix this because when we played rapid 10+10 my opponent literally left and his time is so low it is 0.1 and why can't he lose it froze on 0.1😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬 ,I'm giving this game a 1 star, and browser is better. And also when I play bullet 1 Minute it has the same bug and the opponent has the big big big advantage because of the lag. please fix it🤬
