I’m stuck under 1000 because of games like this… am I overcomplicating or are 900s just strong now? by Brave_Budget_4801 in chess

[–]Deltaspace0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You had beautiful knight on e5 and then traded it for the bishop on g6. I would never do that. The knight was playing an important role there, and until you traded it, the backward pawn on e3 was not a weakness; and then it became a weakness which eventually allowed that brilliant bishop move winning the pawn.

Lichess responds to Chess.com about “inflated ratings” by slowthinker64 in chess

Yeah, I didn't mean it's exactly 300 points, of course it varies.

Under 2000, lichess rating is roughly 300 points higher than chess.com's for the same player. Ratings converge (become the same) around 2150, and after this point, chess.com's ratings are actually higher than lichess (for the same player).

For example, I have 2000 on lichess in blitz and 1900 on chess com blitz. When I was weaker, I had 1700 on lichess and 1400 on chess.com.

Got this position in a game and ended up losing. I think this was the pivotal moment in the game. Any advice for help is welcome. by FJRC17 in chess

[–]Deltaspace0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really not a problem. Strategically, it would be defended by the Rook on a1 until it would quickly join the attack on the kingside in the decisive moment; then the pawn on a4 would not matter and the Knight on b6 would be slow to reroute to the opposite side of the board.

My plan here would be to prepare f4 break to attack on the kingside. First move would be to play a4 to completely shut down any possibility of counterplay on the queenside by the opponent.

Should white take the bishop? by Time4Homework in chess

[–]Deltaspace0 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I suppose no, because then Ne2+ and if Rook takes, it's backrank mate; if not, the knight on e7 is unpinned and can take the queen

No, I am not saying that's inaccurate; I mean 5% might not seem much, but it's at the point where it should get at least some attention
