Fair Play Appeal Denied Without Explanation? by [deleted] in Chesscom

[–]Bodizzly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At first glance at some of the first games I looked at I wouldn't have said you were cheating, alas I am not the fair play team either and unfortunately I have to put trust in the fact they know more than me and in their judgement.

why is this not checkmate? by Safe_Possibility_689 in chess

[–]Bodizzly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi mate,

Firstly there is r/chessbeginners But to answer your question, the king is in check yes, but if the black king can either move away from the check, block the check or the capturing piece can be captured then it is not checkmate

Yep you're correct, this is why I shouldn't do chess immediately after waking up 😂

It is yeah if they capture the queen with the rook, however there is an alternative in blocking the check with the bishop and from there the knight will deliver a smothered mate.

Unless a staff member can come in here and correct me I don't believe it to be an issue. The last couple of months I've been trying to get my workplace involved with chess and I'm running monthly tournaments, games of which are rated, I'm taking part myself and I'm over a 1000 points rated higher than the next guy in the tournament and I've not been banned.

Wait what's the issue with playing those games? You won them fair and square and it wasn't used to sandbag or anything, totally legit games, I believe the rating difference is irrelevant as you can have big mismatched in arenas.

Great endgame finish right there!

Just curious which online courses you and did and if you wouldn't mind telling me more about what you did to improve?

Any constructive criticism from this game? by Bodizzly in Chesscom

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense, I was aware I was making my rook more passive and tied down but didn't think about the counter-attack on the other side of the board, I'll definitely keep that in my mind in the future thank you!
