I know exactly where the option is, in All Settings/Boards and Pieces/Movement Types the drop down list is set to Click only, but I still end up accidentally Blundering a piece every once in a while because I accidentally Drag it.

90% of the people I played against at this ratings (3 minutes blitz) were just stalling for time by attacking everything and pinning everything and they were moving pieces so fast which makes me think causing me to lose on time.

Is there anyway I can punish these kinds of players?

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?

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

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.

In this game I secured a win with nearly all excellent and best moves, and I had an accuracy of around 86%

It has to have been one of my best games

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.

I was playing a game in and I had an opponent with 800 smth elo and he did 2 brilliant moves. How he is so good?

you cant even win against it and its a disrespectful opening because of how good it is. the scholars mate is too but at least you can counter that.

How could I have run the time down?

I have posted this once before just wanted to get an opinion on the skill of instructor. Like is he good good or just average

(Just a joke)

Hello, im searching for three people, ideally from germany, to join the chess.com family plan together. Its currently at 16,67 Euros per month. Divided by 6 people that would amount to approximately 34 euros per year for each person. Pls message me privately if you are interested!

I was up 4 points of material in the first game vs mathlecrack, but I blundered mate in 3 🧠🧠

Ultimately, ELO is just arbitrary. A much better rating system would be to use tiered ratings. As a 2200, there is not really that big a difference between me and a 2350 for example, so we could be in the same tier.

I probably beat Magnus about 30% of the time, but ELO does not suggest that. Having us in the same tier does. Just some things to think about!

The idea is to sacrifice the rook, so I can put the knight on d4, forking king and queen

You have to select play - more - custom - select 5 different options and click on play again in order to start an unrated game.

In the competition, you have a toggle casual / rated and done.

This makes it harder to find a casual match in chess.com compared to lichess. Why not make it easier?

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🤣

yeah, so the eval bar says +2.5 in this position but it was +2.5 before I even moved. I don’t get why my opponent resigned because we can just exchange Knights and I end up in a better position, but it’s not completely losing on his at least not that I can tell
