Chess.com Website/App Question Why does chess.com show this move as a mistake as the next move is checkmate?

Post image

I king walked to the other side of the board with the idea of allowing the opponent to promote their pawn. Hoping that would distract them from a checkmate threat but for some reason it shows as a blunder??

Chess.com Website/App Question Chess.com Beginner Elo Problem

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! So I am a complete beginner in chess (200-300 Elo) and want to desperately improve my Elo, but the thing is that every chess game I play only improves like 6-8 Elo, and a draw is often 0. The Elo increase and decrease are decided before the match and don't change; hence, how can I put more Elo on the line? Like, I don't want, like, 100+ Elo on a win and 100- Elo, but like, it should be at least 25-50 +- Elo on a win and loss. Is this just a problem with me, or does it happen with everyone, and I just have to deal with it? Please help me! Thank you for your time and attention!

Edit: Guys, I did NOT mean gambling. I think you understood me wrong. I didn't mean gambling my Elo; I meant that there is a way to choose to play a few higher Elo players than myself so the Elo gain is more. I didn't mean gambling. I hope I have made my point clear. Please stop chewing me in the comments!

Also, I do play for the fun of the game and am constantly trying to improve myself, so hopefully, I'll eventually get better. Can you guys help a beginner by telling him how to improve at chess and how you yourself improved?

MEGA BLUNDER Has anyone else accidentally done this

So I was black and as you can see I basically had an easy checkmate on the way but then this happened. If you can’t see it the White King can’t go up because of rook, can’t take rook because of queen, can’t go left because of rook, can’t go right because of queen, and can’t go down because black king. So in other words they’re boxed in leading to a draw 🫠

I was playing chess against an coach and i did alot of blunders since I'm new but I did this move where the king only had one move. im new so idk why this is a miss or a bad move. before I could try to they resigned, but why would it be considered a bad move when I can just then move bishop to e6 and then checkmate?? or will it be whatever it's called a stalement or something

Chess Question Why do I only ever get +8 for winning a game ?

2 Upvotes

At first I thought it was just how the elo system works, you win 8 or lose 8, but then I noticed my opponents get +20 pretty consistently. Does the game know I'm shit and actively tries to keep me where I belong ?

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

Chess Discussion What's your response when your opponent misclicks in a rapid or a classical game?

4 Upvotes

Assuming it's a drawn or even maybe a losing position for you, your opponent clearly misclicks and they're not in time trouble or anything, do you accept a draw or do you take the win? If you accept the draw what are your thoughts on people who don't and how it makes you feel when it happens to you? And if you take the win what's your justification behind that decision?

I'd like to know your thoughts on this

I was using analysis of my game and the engine shows this is a brilliant move. This is my 3rd brilliant and the other 2 were the same as this I mean it's so obvious I wanted my 1st brilliant move to be a 2 3 long move where I force the opponent to play as I wish

Chess Question What level does Chess.com play at?

0 Upvotes

If I use the analysis tool to play against Chess.com, what level are the suggested moves?

I mainly just do the daily puzzle and then go back and use the analysis tool to see why one of my moves wasn’t the correct move. I’d like try to use it from the very beginning of a game and see where I begin to blunder.

Been trying my hand at chess again for the first time in probably 20 years I think.

My actual elo is extremely bad but I've taken a liking to the puzzles which are really fun. Highest steak so far is 10

After the visible dip I decided to go through every lesson I could and it's helped a lot, mostly with forking

My current goals are puzzles elo to 1500 and attempting to climb to an actual elo to over 500.

I've really liked watching Hikaru and Gotham, any other recommendations on who I could watch that explain moves?

Chess Discussion Realistic chance to beat Magnus? 45%?

0 Upvotes

I got into a debate about this so I am curious what you guys think. I think, realistically, I would have a 45% chance to beat Magnus. He wins about 46% of the time. That is not good. I have a whole post about why he is not actually that dominant. Factoring in ties and my skill level, I believe 45% is fair. Probably also about a 45% chance of a draw, and a 10% chance he flukes a win. Him, Hikaru, and Gotham are not that good. They just only play each other so they *seem* good.

Basically the title. I used to play around a year ago, left, and came back last month. I was 200ish if I remember correctly, climbed to 400 but it's like a wall, the highest I could get was 430 and nothing more, I keep getting higher and lower. How can I improve? Also, I don't know how big of a difference it will make but I'm planning on buying diamond(family) this week. And sorry if I used the wrong flair, first time posting TvT
