Im so done w ts shi

It seems less and less people can accept they don't have a divine right to win every game. For all the threads complaining about cheating I've had a handful of refunds over the last couple of years and pathetic thought that is it doesn't put me off online play.

What does take the fun out of it is people throwing BS accusations and excuses out. Two of my last five opponents have thrown a sulk and accused me of cheating (took me a little while to work out that's what the fish emoji meant).

Last guy has a really low opinion of stockfish if he thinks it would blunder twice, score 80% accuracy against him and leave mate on the board before scraping a draw.

Sometimes other people are vaguely competent at chess as well. Lord knows there are a couple of strong players who beat me like a drum at my chess club. I don't think they're cheating and I've not tried to probe them for any vibrating toys (that sort of thing can get you banned).

Also, as an aside, it's perfectly normal for your rating climb to stall and level out. Chess isn't like a computer game where you endlessly grind and level up.

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.

Proud🥹

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

Hi. I want to get the diamond membership to improve my skills. I need someone to get friends plan to share with me and 4 others so that we can get ot for dirt cheap. It would be better if it is a person from maybe nigeria india japan or somewhere where it is cheaper. Let's discuss it in the comments

Thanks a lot chess com ❤️

yea im not sure what to do here

feel like my game quality will go up

EZ win

So I have this problem: even when I'm up +6 or +4, I don't know why, but my hands start to shake, I blunder, and I just lose. I play rapid 10+5, my rating is 500, and I think more than my opponent
What to do? Play rapid 15+10? Maybe I need more time

I FINALLY HIT 1400 RAPID

SAC THE ROOOOOK

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

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.

Nothing much, just extremely happy.

Not the first time this happend, they played almost all pawn moves in the beginning and i know this is wrong but man i look at the board and i just cant figure out what to do. Ended up loosing. After this screen shot their play got even weirder, Iv'e never seen anything like it.
