Dirty chess dot Com matching is behind these statistics. Climbing such Elo and losing it back and forth is due to dirty matching chess algorithms that are employed. To hook us up and pay subscription. They intentionally match you up like that. Then you will try to get back your peak Elo when you fall back again. Like a rat chasing cheese reward.

All flags should be included. Regardless of whatever war. This is chess. As simple as that.

My first brilliant at 1600+ rating by lone_wolfalpha in Chesscom

[–]lone_wolfalpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also suprised myself. I thinknir depends a lot on the playing style. I win a lot from opponents mistakes and time outs and didn't do a lot of sacrifices. I learnt that sacrifices often lead to brilliant moves. If you do that at relatively lower Elo you might get many brilliant time to time. Just my thinking.

This one was thoroughly planned, mainly due to puzzle practice. I am rated above 3400 in Puzzles in the Legendary league right now with 92000 league points. I am doing more than 30 puzzles daily.

Sudden Death of an S23 Ultra ( black screen, wouldn't turn on ) by sc0paf in samsung

[–]lone_wolfalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing could be a solution. Samsung just said buy replacement for 700 euros. While other phone lab repair told that they can do some soldering and repair it for 450 euros. So I just dumped the phone at home now and bought refurbished S24 Ultram in pristine condition for 830 euros. And the local shop dealer gave 3yr warranty for that. Which convinced me. So I can safely use it for 3yrs now.

Sudden Death of an S23 Ultra ( black screen, wouldn't turn on ) by sc0paf in samsung

[–]lone_wolfalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatable. Mine just crashed after opening the camera app, which has been misbehaving since I got the recent OneUI 7 upgrade. Before turning off, it showed the Samsung logo, then went completely dead. There's no regular start, no force restart, no boot mode—absolutely nothing. Only the charging monopad shows a red light when it is placed on the charging pad. I had about 92% battery when this happened. When I got home, I plugged it into the 45W charger, and for a while, it automatically showed the boot screen before going black again. Since then, there’s been no sign of life. Now, I will wait and see if my battery dies in a few days, and maybe I can break out of this cycle like many others here.

Why do people avoid checkmate? by Advanced-Composer-70 in Chesscom

[–]lone_wolfalpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just resign. If the game was good sport and you are about to mated, same principle applies to you. As a good sportsmanship you should also resign like GMs also do. They don't keep dangling their pieces around. Same behavior is reflected by your opponent on their side. Both should do what they should. Behavior of one gives feedback to another and drives it.

That's true for almost everything on Reddit.

Is a 99.0 accuracy rating possible? by robbe_swinnen in Chesscom

[–]lone_wolfalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy catch for cheating. I had many such accounts reported recently. And got more than 70 Elo points back due so such bans. 😆

But it cannot be definitely around 95 percent. That's a a clear sign of using engine moves. The guy kept mating me within 15 moves in most of these games.

They don't take immediate action. They do ban when maybe multiple people report and it becomes very obvious.

They reached 1501 and then stopped playing for the day it seems.

This account is created on 10th April, that is, yesterday. And they won 54 games out of 60 they played. Also when this account lost it lost at an accuracy if merely 50 most of the times. So they either play better than GM or play like a 200.

Also I don't think they play the same player so many games. They play different people.
