Fine then , so that means you adults are better than us . I know a 14-year old boy who beat Karpov at a rated tournament , how come adults are better , is it knowledge or physical movement or is it knowing what to do , anyway , why won't they actually let us kids come up on the site ?
To register on this site you had to lie. You had to tick a box saying you were over 13. You aren't.
Whether or not you agree with it doesn't matter.

Okay , I understand , my question is why do we have to be 13 , I know i must be 16 to smoke legally , but I know why it's that , its becuase it damages our early health , but what's the problem with playing chess ?
Because you were required to register to play on the site an age limit has to be in place. It's for the safety of minors online.
