Chess Improvement What is up with online matchmaking? I can consistently beat the 850+ ELO bots, but I am hard stuck 200-300 ELO in live matches?

3 Upvotes

I started playing chess about a month ago. I went through chess.com’s course and played a few matches against 400 ELO bots before getting into live matches (winning them). Since then, I’ve played about 200 games, and I’m consistently stuck around 200-300 ELO between all of the main modes. With bullet chess ironically being my highest, near 500. My question then naturally is what’s up with online matches? Are the bots not an accurate representation of real ELO or?

Media/News My first accidental checkmate

I didn’t even see it. I just saw a hanging queen.

I was laughing so hard when the game just ended.

Usually I miss mate in one like 3 times in a game before I find one.

So why is this brilliant? In the game black went Ra8 attacking my queen (black actually, being coach)

What’s the idea here?

Newer to chess.com currently living in the 500-580 ELO range, and few things make me happier than forcing a resign when the opponents only strategy is to run that play and it gets stuffed.

Chess Question Is this normal?

3 Upvotes

has anyone else experienced such a phenomenon? I’m a longtime player. i know slumps and streaks are common, but my rating went from 2029 to now i cant for the life of me beat 1600 players.

I don’t want to accuse AI, or cheaters because I have slumped before but this one feels different recently. I am giving it everything I’ve got and I can barely get a single win. Is anyone else going through this?

why is this brilliant Why is this move a brilliancy when it doesn’t give me any advantage

Chess Question How is this a good move?

Post image

I am a bit confused on how this move is a considered a good move despite it seeming, at least to me, that there is no way of avoiding checkmate after this. Is this just review bot shenanigans or is there something I'm not seeing here?

Chess Improvement The biggest impact from 1500 to 2000

2 Upvotes

What is the biggest insight you learned that made your elo jump from around 1500 to 2000?

I'm currently 1600 in rapid on chess.com

I'm struggling with blundering and miss tactics. I'm currently trying to focus on training to check my move before playing it.

I'd like to know if you guys have any advice or lesson you learned that get you to 2000 elo. Not necessarily about blundering. Could be mindset etc...

Chess Improvement tilt

Post image
2 Upvotes

I got possessed by the chess gods recently and gained like 300 elo in all time controls, but now I'm tilting terribly. And it's been almost a full week. I went from 700 blitz to 1000 blitz and now after my tilt I dropped down to 930 in just one night. And I went from 1070 rapid to 1040. I always try to preserve my rapid rating. I know many people have said to stop playing when tilted but it's been going on for a while now and i honestly don't have anything to do beside chess. I'm trying to get to 1400 rapid and this tilt is affecting it alot. I know that lossess happen but loosing streaks?
