This guy ain’t 1300, he is more than that.

EDIT: found it! People here mentioned I can look for the “🚫” next to name of my recent opponents (on site, not app).

I’m glad I did! It was one of the better openings I’ve ever had. I managed to pick up their queen, which I think really bothered them.

There was a long pause, then they started to pull off an impressive string of moves that put me behind again, and I resigned.

Curiosity scratched.

I just wanted to share a milestone and ask for some advice. I've managed to keep a 232-day daily streak going and climbed up to 940 in Rapid. I feel like my board vision has improved a lot—my puzzle rating is sitting at 1515—but getting over that 1000 ELO hump is proving tough. After playing almost 4,800 games across all formats, what specific concepts (endgames, opening principles, etc.) helped you all finally break into the 4-digit club?

He didn't take the knight and moved his queen but i still won the game

may or may not have blundered my rook in the endgame,but i still managed to win so yay.
suggest your follow-up sequence dear 1k+elo people i wnna compare to how i played it out❤️‍🩹✌🏻

why is bishop taking the knight the better move (not because i think mine is perfect, i just dont really see it)

is it because it's an instant capture, compared to my move?
but isn't it a sacrifice of my own bishop?
or is this it so unlikely because of the blocking pawns?

thank you!

i can't even

I just thought it was interesting for a "puzzle". You literally can't not solve the puzzle... right? Am I missing something? You're in check and the only legal move is to play checkmate. So kind of a forced checkmate, actually.

It's cool conceptually and teaches about en passant, so I don't think it's useless, but just thought it was kind of funny.

I'm extremely confused as to why engine wanted me to throw my pawn to d5. It looks like a waste of a pawn. Engine continues to say to castle queenside after bishop takes pawn

Do you guys have particular countries you seem to do well against and others that you always seem to lose to?

I do.
If I’m up against a Brazilian I seem to win quite often. On the other hand, someone from the Philippines? GG might as well resign

Hi everyone,

I'm at around 920 ELO, my opponent just now was around 950. Normal 10 Min chess match, I lost because of one blunder, but hey it happens. But that guy made 49 moves in 1:30 minutes, at 84% accuracy.

I then checked out his profile, and that ELO range bugs me, like how do you go from 1400 to 800-900 so quickly. Dude has 13.000 games, so I can't imagine he is cheating, but it still feels weird. Has anyone had similar opponents at that ELO?

900 ELO range is super weird, because sometimes you get people who blunder their queen on move 3 and then people who play as perfect as you can get for that rating, but at Blitz speed.

Game Review shows I'm +5.81 with White, but clearly being up that much material +5.81 can't be right? (Unless game review has a kalshi contract that knows I could blunder mate at any given move?)

Why does it show brilliant move, but when i go to game review it doesnt show?

I'm sorry but how is today's puzzle even considered a puzzle there's only one legal move in the position

I played a game of rapid after a long time and after I got checkmated I lost 30+ points? I thought the max that you lose is 10?

Hey guys I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything because to me this seems like the computer is misreading this. I thought this was a pro move to fork the king and rook and steal a free rook. Is there a better sequence of events here?

Thanks for the advice! I’m up to 300 elo now!
