I am curious why players are permitted to play anonymously in competition on BBO. I asked this question of BBO recently. The answer I received was that some people "even have more than one username and log in with an anonymous profile to avoid being detected by his friends.'' This is difficult to understand in an online/pandemic era when cheating is - to be extremely polite about it - a problem. Simple logic suggests that one way of keeping folks honest is by requiring them to register under their name. One more point: no one is permitted to play anonymously at a club or live tournament. Shouldn't every player be able to know who the competition is during online play, as well? Thanks for any thoughts.
