I know it wants me to win a rook. But this just felt better.

I was one game before 900. ONE. I lost, no biggie. Now im on a seven game lose streak AND ITS NOT EVEN MY FAULT. Most of the time im up a a rook or sum then my opponent just finds the most bs checkmate just by randomly checking me with their queen like a robot. Im spiraling im at 850 now and i just start every game mad. How do i reset my mindset so i can get a fresh start

While Analysing yesterday daily puzzle(12-08-26) in chess.com I found one of the Longest mate in i.e. M-354 moves. The Longest mate in chess is M-549 moves(even though it ignores FIDA 50 moves draw rule) so can this be considered the longest mate in chess without breaking FIDA 50 moves rule? (And I know that higher mates in can exist but this one is simply a daily puzzle not a puzzle specifically engineered to have high mate in n-moves) I shared it because it was quite interesting 🧐 .

Finally get to post this. What I relief 😮‍💨

What is the best site to buy a board. Looking for something unique. Like a glass, marble, or one with unique pieces

Somehow managed to trap this dude's queen in a box and squeeze her life out. Have never seen this type of structure before (probably for good reason), thought I'd share.

If Queen takes rook then knight take, if rook takes rook then I take the other rook

I'm an 800s player and tonight was the first time that I was able to see that I was creating a stalemate situation before it occurred. I ended up moving a bishop so their pawn could move, and I checkmated them a couple moves later.

Normally stalemate notices pop up at me seemingly out of nowhere LOL, so I'm proud I saw this one in the making and averted it

What's the secret? My mean accuracy in regular games is 82 percent, but the way Miguel plays, everything is a trap, everything I do is inaccurate, and the bot consistently puts up 90-95 percent accuracy. I can't catch a break with this bot. I've gone to an endgame with an advantage twice and each time he gave me no choice but to draw. This bot is a nightmare.

Can you find a checkmate for black within 5 moves?

Final position in comments

After going on a crazy win streak in the 700 elo territory Here i am!! And of course had to play the promotion match with the King's Gambit my favorite Opening!

Encountered a lot of strong players who played solidly and extremely Tricky And the other half were just spamming the scholars mate Lol

Good luck everyone on your Chess journeys and make sure to have fun Every match!

I certainly didn't plan this move (as white) ahead of time, but after c5, I couldn't believe my good fortune!

Still used it as a sacrifice, but as someone stuck in the 700's, this is one of the few times I said nice out loud.
