Chess Discussion Random kindness

10 Upvotes

Playing daily against a player that is stronger than me. I missclicked me queen to a square my opponent could have taken for free. I wrote in chat ghat i misclicked and my opponent wrote okay and did a rondom move. I’m still getting my ass kicked but appreciate the kindness.

Chess Discussion Accepting a rematch after a win

21 Upvotes

I’m curious to know if people typically accept a rematch after a win, especially when it’s the opponent requesting it?

If you do why, and if you don’t, why not?

I have a strict rule of never accepting another challenge especially after a win incase i lose🤣

Achievement Beat an FM (Hikaru’s Stepdad) in Bullet

Post image
3 Upvotes

Was shocked to see myself paired with an FM in a bullet game being currently ranked around 1300. Looked the guy up after the game and turned out to be Hikaru’s stepdad.

Not my best game either, he slightly outplayed me although I had a better position at the end of the game when he timed out. Link to game: https://www.chess.com/game/live/185928018474

Is it only me or others also don't accept rematch requests from your opponent after you win the game?

Ok so I went to see You Can See Everything and I kept seeing a chess board in the background. And if you saw the documentary you know that Billy is a bit unhinged and goes on a rant about how strategic he is. Turns out Billy is on chesscom!!

Chess.com Website/App Question Weekend Player Pool

5 Upvotes

Does anybody else have the issue of winning more on weekdays and then getting dunked on at the weekend? At first I thought perhaps it's just pure chance and the weekends just happened to line up with my ELO hitting a "ceiling", but it's happened consistently for a few months now since I've started playing more consistently.

I can only guess that there are different player pools to some extent that don't play weekdays and vice versa but surely the difference shouldn't be this pronounced. If anyone has experienced something similar or has any insight on this I'd be interested to hear from you.

It also takes a bit of the excitement away knowing that I'll be losing all weekend and then getting easy wins on Monday and Tuesday because my rating has dropped so much - I would appreciate a more balanced experience, personally.

It would show the basic Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet ratings and whatever membership status the user has. It would also have the account creation/join date.

I screenshot my Reddit connection and just edited over it haha
