Chess.com expands beyond chess with Gambit poker and plans for more classic games

Chess.com is expanding beyond its chess focus by launching Gambit, a free online poker site designed to help beginners learn without risking real money. Gambit uses an Elo-style rating system, includes learning and review modes, bots, and streaming events, and relies on rapid AI-assisted development. The company plans to extend the same approach to other classic games like go, backgammon, and mahjong, aiming to build community and learning features around each title while avoiding real-money gambling.

Counter-Strike 2's Controversial Penalties and Bot Modes Explained

Counter-Strike 2 has implemented a harsh penalty for players who leave matches early, resulting in a 1,000-point drop in their ELO rating. While this penalty aims to deter intentional match abandonment, players are complaining that it also applies to unintentional departures, such as game crashes. Additionally, solo players can receive the penalty if their teammates vote to kick them. Some players are concerned about the power this gives to groups of trolls. There are also concerns about the lack of warning for certain situations, such as leaving due to bad behavior by teammates. The new penalty system may have unintended consequences, including the potential for players to create smurf accounts with artificially low rankings. Valve may continue to adjust these penalties as the game evolves.
