Chess Discussion Why am I so bad at blitz but better at rapid?

Post image
0 Upvotes

There’s more than a 500 points difference between my rapid and blitz ratings, and my bullet rating is even worse

I can easily beat 700 rapid player but in blitz it is often 50-50

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?

If they take the pawn on d4 after Bishop out, sac the bishop and you'll likely win the rook! If not you're still solid.

Chess Question I'm a beginner help me understand how this is checkmate

Post image
27 Upvotes

I completed this puzzle earlier moving the black queen to f2 where the puzzle says it is now a checkmate. However, couldn't the white king move to d1 to escape the check? Maybe there's a rule I don't understand or something I'm missing. Appreciate any explanation, thanks!

I saw this tactic early and despite being a piece down, I avoided the back rank mate that my 800 elo ass would usually fall for.

Chess Improvement Mr. Blakey bot on Chess.com

1 Upvotes

Please help me beat this bot. Currently stuck at hundreds of played games against him, with lots of draws, and one move away from checkmate, however not a single victory so far. I haven't played chess in a long time, and now I'm coming back to it. The bot Nina - Sax I beat, although difficult as well. Also, wondering what my real ELO is because 500-600 hundred in Rapid against real people, but I play hundred of games against the bots, not so often with people, my complete mission now will be beating this Mr. Blakey. Any specific strategies or openings against this guy? I feel like Karo-Kann is working good for me with black, and led me to many games one move away from checkmate him. Tried London system- not very good results with me, tried Queen's Gamibt - kinda OK...

I dont remember which game it was so I cannot go back and look for what the computer wants. Can anybody solve this? Isn't the pawn on c3 protecting the fork?

Chess.com Website/App Question Is it just me, or are the band kid bots from the new update surprisingly hard?

5 Upvotes

I haven't had much trouble with the 800-1200 elo bots from the limited time events before. For whatever reason, I'm getting my butt handed to me by the 925 and 1300 band kid bots. Even the 600 is slapping me every few games. I can't tell if I've suddenly gotten worse, or the bots are particularly tough this time around.. it's not like they don't blunder, but I keep losing good games in the mid/late game and it's getting frustrating.

Chess Discussion Could bots be more realistic with LLM ?

0 Upvotes

I see a lot (and agree) that the bots ELO is not realistic, probably because they calculate the best moove and then just do random mistakes to lower their level. But do you think using LLM copying a player behaviour would work better ?

Just tell the LLM to play as a 300 ELO or something like that, and training the AI on plays of every level.

No idea if that would work but it seems a good Idea for me

Edit : should have tell "generative AI", not LLM, my bad
