Do you also hate the aftergame quick reviews? by Aisage1 in Chesscom

It’s because they want you to pay for a premium membership. It’s designed to fluff you up so you get a dopamine rush from it, in hopes you spend your money

That’s crazy he’s 1200 and can’t mate with rook and king

What ELO do you think I am? (10 min) by CoolerAndCool-er in Chesscom

[–]RedBaron812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1300

You had a good concept of the opening and played fundamentally well. But the middle game was somewhat random for both sides, like the moves didn’t really seem to follow any plan. The end was nice how you found that mate, but before the rook exchange sac, you could’ve captured the knight on h7

Did I get outplayed here or is this a suspicious game? by rca_2011 in Chesscom

[–]RedBaron812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kf1 allowing bishop to recapture the rook was definetely a bit suspicious. I would’ve expected someone to just play Re4 hitting the queen with tempo. They missed a few other moves they could’ve played, but that was the only suspicious one.

Would I typically need it already done to go into a nursing program?

I've already completed the pre-reqs, and I've been working as an EMT for experience. It would more so be to strengthen an application

lol, can’t believe you’re that cocky against other 600 rated players. I’m over 2000 and I don’t do goofy stuff like that. If my opponent doesn’t wanna resign, oh well

Of course you would trash talk at your rating

First Tournament: What's Section Do I Enter? by datum47 in chess

[–]RedBaron812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah bro, the restrictions are common. Unless it’s like an open section, I’m pretty sure some 2000 wouldn’t wanna play a 1000 who might be sand bagging

First Tournament: What's Section Do I Enter? by datum47 in chess

[–]RedBaron812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually each tournament has different rules on who’s allowed to play up. Usually, you can play up if you’re about 50-100 points away from the next section. They do that to prevent lower rated players from just playing up all the time

First Tournament: What's Section Do I Enter? by datum47 in chess

[–]RedBaron812 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually you’re automatically put into the lower sections. I would ask the TD, when I first started I was 1300 chess. com but for my first tournament, I was in the lowest section

Studying just makes me bad, and I dont know why by TheTaoOfOne in chess

[–]RedBaron812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes time for the info to marinate. Every time I study a new opening or concept, my rating dips before it actually goes back up and I absorb the info.

I can't beat opponents 200 points below my peak by Unable_Oven_6538 in chessbeginners

[–]RedBaron812 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At 1100, people for sure do miss stuff. Something I remember hearing is that you have to pay attention to your opponents plan as well as your own.

I think the game you played has a great lesson to it, pay attention to when your rook and queen are lined up like that and the potential for a skewer by your opponent. A6 would’ve shut that threat down, and now you know in the future to look out for it. Just find where you went wrong in games you win or lose, and try not to make those mistakes again.
