The Fair Play report has some new features to combat the basic ways that player will try to trick the Fair Play engines. "Smart cheaters" will cheat in some, but not all games. Their own "normal" games obscure the assisted games and make it harder to see statistical evidence of cheating. Typically a player will cheat in 3 or 4 games in the event, usually the later rounds. A second method of "Smart cheating" (let me just say, cheating is never smart, it's a really dumb decision to make!) is where players will play part of their game on their own, and get assistance on just some of the moves. Again, their own natural moves are being played to obscure the cheating. Here is a normal Fair Play report. No players cheating. Fair Play report Tool 1: Best # rounds for player You can now select the number of games that you want to display an assessment for. Perhaps you suspect someone cheated in just 4 games or 5 games. You can now select "Best 5 rounds" and the statistics for all players will display just for their "best" 5 games. Watch how some players magically appear at the top of the list, when they were much lower down when looking at all games. Here is the same report with only the best 4 games for each player showing: One player seemed to play well for 4 games, with 122 moves and a score of 21... but these were games against much lower rated opponents and nothing to be concerned about. Fair Play report Tool 2: Game score algorithm You can now select "Smart cheating" mode and you can get a different perspective on the players games.

2. Feature: Blind mode on games

There are over 250 million people with vision impairment in the world, and over 1.1 billion with near-vision impairment. Chess players with low vision can find it difficult to play online chess. A screen reader is a form of assistive technology that renders text or image as speech or braille output. Screen readers are essential to people who are blind, and are useful to people who are visually impaired, illiterate, or have a learning disability. This feature makes Tornelo compatible with screen-reader technology, allowing visually impaired players to participate in your tournaments. This feature is a set in the Account Settings or the Game Preferences. And when it is turned on the game will look like this: Blind mode can be turned on and off during a game if needed.

3. Improvement: External profiles, Federation ratings
