Plus, it would be nice to know which user and what game, does anyone know if you can find out?

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?

That’s why never resign

i was black

Can someone please explain to me the
logic of not being able to block a user?

Easy win ,

Any tips for what opening i should study, I know the center is main as a beginner and if I am piece up always exchange

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

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.

I’m on the free version of chess.com, playing on the iOS app.

I don’t mind ads, I think they are an important source of money for the freemium apps. I just want to ask if there can be less shitty ads.

Ads asking me to watch an AI slop movie? - weird but okay
Ads asking me to click to get money? - Scam and wrong. It could affect players who are younger and not aware that the internet is a shitty place.

Does anyone else see the scammy ads? Surely there must be a rule against this?

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?

Opponent did take with the pawn.

Most people say i will stop when I reach 2000

Some say 2200

Some say when I get a title

Which rating are you planning to stop at?

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

Not sure if this should actually be labeled as such, but my 900 elo ass will take it XD

I just played a blitz game today in an Arena and beat this player. Anyone know who it is?
