Hi after playing for years I finally got my first brilliant move I'm not very good being around 400 elo for years can someone explain to me why the move was good ?

i wanted to play rxe1+, but i already selected the queen and i'm used to deselecting pieces by just clicking on the board, and i ended up just blundering my queen away

I ended up winning this game and I usually get pretty pumped when I mate someone, but I was genuinely so excited when I looked at the review and I had a brilliant.

So, I understand the first reason, but the second one to me makes no sense

Also, this is the same game within ~8 moves

Is brilliant really brilliant?

Please help me understand this

Seriously, why on earth does chess.com not deduct points when someone doesn't play the first move when they are black?!?!?

I've never had another player abort on me on the first move if they are white. Only black. It's all people doing it to game the system.

Once players are matched and the game starts, that should be it. The winner gets the points. Started a game by accident or you lose your connection, tough luck (just like if you lose Internet mid game)

So I've always been apsolute dogshit at chess (top rating 800), and haven't played in over a year. Dropped to about 550 which is fair, I really do suck at the moment

But when I play someone 550 as well and they trade like all of their pieces in the beggining, I just lose the will to play. Is it just me or? I dunno, I have the feeling that playing with as many pieces as possible this low rated would be better. I mean, I doubt I'd ever be able to mate someone with just a rook and a king, so it kinda pisses me off when it happens, I just get the feeling I won't learn shit like that. Is it just my 550 brain or?

Sorry to the mods if the post is not appropriate, but I really just wanna see what people think

Black to move and the puzzle hint was win whites queen...

The solution was Nxf2, D4, Nxd1

I put this in the analysis and still don't see why white is sacking the queen here. Am I stupid or is this puzzle stupid

Is anyone else experiencing intense lag form the chess.com website currently? I've tried clearing my cache and my internet seems fine. Any fixes?

Guess all those puzzles were good preparation 😂

Didn’t even get a brilliant (which I actually agree with anyway.)

Ended up playing the checkmate that I should have played 7 moves before lol.

Checkmate after knight takes knight,i get that he can take but after that its mate.
I thought it would be brilliant.

I am chess, beer and RPG fan, so I wanted to create a mix of them and started to cooking Checkmortal.

would you play such chess?

Hi pretty new to chess and chess.com cpl of months in,

I Keep getting awarded points due to cheaters, anyway of knowing which opponent or game etc?

I can push the rook and take the pawn, right?

i have seen this type of mate in ig videos but i dont know if it has a name. I was shaking!

Hi Chessers,

I've started playing chess literally 170 days ago (thanks chess.com). I've reached 1420 elo in rapid in this period of time by learning basic principles and mostly watching streamers doing pedagogical streams (and of course doing some problems).

Yet, when I play I often feel like the only thing I am doing is trying to get more quality than my oponent or trying to checkmate but with no strategic thinking or using that much of tactical ideas.

I play the (w) london system and the (b) Scandinavian or sometimes the Caro Kann.

The openings seem correctly handled but like I said I kinda struggle during the middle game (unless a very clear pattern from my openent I can counter).

I wanted to know how did you guys improve your middle game ? any books recommandation ? Any questions you asked yourself every time ?

Thanks !

Hi

I'm from Iran, and although it's possible for me to play in chess dot com, I have had a profile since 2021 (@pheroMona13) there's no international payment option available in my country, and paying through illegal third parties with USD is kinda impossible cause of exchange difference, unfortunately. my question is that is there a way/competition/program to get a subscription or a trial version for free? I really like to test some locked features in chess dot com.

I don't know if here's a right place to ask this or not...
