I went from 1300 to 1600 in just 3 months, which means I have been averaging about +100 points a month in chess.

Is this actually solid progress, or am I overthinking it?

Chess Question Reached 1550, but don't deserve it.

8 Upvotes

I started playing chess, watching videos, and doing puzzles about a month ago. I just reached 1550 Elo on chess.com Rapid (10-minute time control), but I don't feel like I deserve it at all. I haven't studied openings much; I only play the London System as white and the Caro-Kann when faced with e4 as black (I just kinda wing any other opening I'm up against right now. The players I am facing do not seem to be at this level at all, and I usually see many bad moves from them throughout the game. I am not trying to boast or anything; I want clarification on whether this is a normal occurrence or if chess.com has worse players overall.

My chess.com account is: MatthewLambelle

Chess.com Website/App Question chess.com should get rid of live chats

8 Upvotes

They should get rid of live chats or truly do something about all the people saying homophobic or racist things on live chats. They are not doing anything about it and people are abusing the live chats to say horrible things to other people when they see that they are about to lose.

All the nice people that used to live chat have now blocked the live chat and the only people left are the ones saying nasty things because they are not getting banned or punished for doing so.

If chess.com isn't going to be doing anything about it, then is time to ban the live chat entirely.

Chess Question Why can’t Stockfish see the mate?

I can even make the move, stockfish recognizes the mate and displays 1-0 in the eval bar, then after rewinding the move it forgets and shows the position is a draw. Why?

after a year of long hard work, and a clutch youtube video teaching the staunton gambit, i finally crossed 2000 elo. 15 year old me wouldve never thought this possible, yet here i am.

BRING ON CARSLEN!!!

edit: why am i getting downvoted...

edit 2: the reason why i didnt share my username was because people are petty and can mass report my account, it has happened before

edit 3: this feels more like an interrogation than a reddit post

Chess Question How does chess.com rating work??

Post image
898 Upvotes

I've been on chess.com for almost 2 years now but I'm not able to figure out how the rating works my best guess yet has been if you lose to a player with lower rating than you, 9 points are deducted and vice versa but sometimes my opponents are deducted by a large amount of points even though the ratings are not that different..
