How to Train Your Dragon is my favorite movie ever and she made this as a gift for my birthday! She hand sculpted each piece, painted all of them, and the board itself. She also painted us two as Hiccup and Astrid aka the king and queen :D

Sorry, had to re-upload because my previous image somehow ended up with a wonky line running over it.

Also I sacrificed THE ROOOOKKKKK!!!!!

Has anyone had this issue before or know how to fix it? So far trouble shooting ideas from google, and AI have not worked. My app is fully up to date as well and both WiFi and cellular are working fine.

Finally reached this after 4 months, all the way from 100 elo

During the climb from 800 to 1000 I honestly didn't do alot of studying, should I start doing otherwise or just continue the same way?

Just want some advice on where to go from here, next goal is obviously 1500

I've been playing on lichess for a couple of years, and just opened a chess com account. I'm 1250 on lichess and 900 on chess com rapid rating. In my years of playing on lichess I never got notice I was cheated on, but its happened on chess com in 20 games. I know there's different rating systems and banning systems on each site, but why does chess com feel so fishy? I have a much more enjoyable time on lichess.

edit: apparently I was cheated on hundreds of times on lichess according to chess cheaters

Hey! I just wanted to comment that I know this has been frustrating. Danny responded on the show, but basically, there is a new system being implemented to handle this kind of poor sportsmanship and abuse. Because it's a larger system being implemented across many types of abuse, it's taken time to build the infrastructure. We are close and expect some of the desired sandbagging protections to start rolling out in a month or so.

Was there any resolution to this?

You have been working on this since last year and promised first to have solutions for it mid-year.

Is sandbagging considered as "poor sportsmanship" and not cheating?

Hey everyone I don't if you all still remember me, but Im TheNextNationalMaster, the same dude who went from 1672 to 1482. Well after receiving all of your advise, encouragements, and having a gained a renewed strength of determination, I pushed on until finally after months of heartbreaks, tilts, and losses, I've fcking finally did it.

I think I would be taking a break from Chess.com a long time, but to all the others out there, never give up and cherish the small wins you have and finally don't rush the process it takes times.

Thank you all

Why wouldn’t this be checkmate since he cant mive without being taken

They had 6 mins on the clock BTW.

Does anyone have a space left for me to join for premium?

Yeah, the honored one is me with 5 blunders. 😶‍🌫️

800 Elo gameplay, rapid-10 mins.

Hopefully I can get out of 500 elo

So, as most of you guys would know there aren't many yt videos to guide you from the 2000 rating and above.

I have been consistently fluctuating between 2000-2060 elo on chesscom Rapid.

My goal is to reach 2200 Before Feb 2027.

Anyone of you who are at 2200 or above could guide on how I can achieve it.

PS. I don't know my playing style because I haven't played anything except for 1.e4 ( Vienna Gambit, Scotch Gambit & Kings Gambit Only )

And with black i just play anything like sicilian , caro scandi , duras gambit , modern benoni , slav Qgd. It's all the same to me. If you could also help me know how I can find my playing style i will be really grateful.

Let’s stop beating around the bush. You’re not "800 Elo." You’re not "studying theory." You’re not reading Irving Chernev before bed. You’re plugged directly into the Stockfish mainframe via neuralink wired straight into your temporal lobe and it sickens me.

Opening Theory? CHEATING.

Moving in under 3 seconds? CHEATING.

Winning against me? ABSOLUTE, UNADULTERATED CHEATING.

The only honest chess player left on this wretched platform is me, sitting here in the dark, crying into my sub-1000 rating.
