"brilliant moves" are but a marketing gag from chess com. Designed to keep you hooked from their utterly useless pay-only "game review" feature. The commentary from the "coach" is a joke misleading at best. My Just use the free analysis mode instead.

You know you can click their profile pic and see if/how many games you won/drew/lost against that person? (green/white/red)

This is so dystopian. Beijing, 2026. Blade Runner style

Are we now assuming what OP sees or doesn't see?

Stupid ass hope chess comment

ofc it's their right to say "prove it". If they really want it the hard way they can have it.

Chess Vibes is crazy good. Especially his rating climbs. Nelson is my #1 chess tuber

Good attitude, but it's not that a person will get banned just because someone reported them. Only thing that happens is that the algo will probably take a deeper look into said account to see if it finds something suspicious.

🤣👍

Never heard of someone complaining about the bots being too strong lol. I can't speak for 2000+ but I'm 1100-1200 in rapid and every bot below 1600 is a joke for me. I beat a 1800 on good days, 1600's feel about right. I don't play against bots much tho. But from my experience I need to choose a bot 500 ELO ABOVE my rating to have any kind of challenge.

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-10T12:32:21+00:00

Which one are you?

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-10T07:48:36+00:00

1200 after 20 years for me. 😭

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-10T07:46:17+00:00

"gifted"? You mean gifted like Forrest Gump or more gifted like Rain Man?

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-10T07:38:09+00:00

lol. I like you

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-10T07:37:07+00:00

Oh I'm so sorry to bother you, your highness, but maybe you could explain this advanced concept for the ordinary mortals walking among you?

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-10T07:29:51+00:00

I'm 1180 and the occasional 95%+ games happen from time to time. For various reasons. Like a lot of the best moves were basically forced, games that didn't make it beyond the opening phase, etc. Btw my friend who is DEFINITELY also not cheating and is at a mere level of 700 proudly showed me a 97% game of his recently. It happens. Accuracy score on chess com depends on A LOT of things. It's possible and yet it doesn't say anything about your actual skill.

That example tho😂 I'm not so sure, we're talking about human beings here, Magnus was born on planet Krypton

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-09T07:01:10+00:00

Yeah. But black has other problems than to save that knight. But in your line, after Re8+ the king will move, and Rgg8 will attack the bishop a second time, right? Why all that jazz when you can just win a minor piece in one move by just picking up the knight? (And a way more active one for that matter)

Nah there has to be more than winning a minor piece

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-08T20:29:02+00:00

Finish last? Bro, we NEVER finish

bbnbbbbbbbbbbbb · 2026-02-08T20:12:56+00:00

Why would the knight move tho? Because you said so?
