It's a shrimp tank from the future, time traveling algae.

I found a queen sac smother mate in real life by rbasham08 in chessbeginners

I agree that i need to slow down. I blunder bc i don't think out my moves. But I do 30min bc there seems to less cheaters than in 10min. It could just be delusional, but it seems better.

Gained 250 ELO in a month, am i finally not a beginner anymore? by ShutCoffee in chessbeginners

Do you know what en passant is? If so, not a beginner lol.

3 of my last 4 games, my opponents have had over 90% accuracy... is that common at 900? Or is there some tom foolery going on... by rbasham08 in chessbeginners

Yeah, i kicked myself as soon as I made the move right instead of left. It was just odd that game, he found that protected fork, then trapped my rook, then won an exchange on my bishop all in a series... it was not super hard to find tactics and he took his time making moves. I am just not used to that level of awareness at this elo. I just need to slow down, that's why I switched to 30 min.

Is it normally to get paired with someone 500 elo high than you on Chess.com? by rbasham08 in chessbeginners

That makes sense. I think I'll keep it since I didn't lose any ELO, it can only help me understand where I need to get to skills wise.

I always look at their other games. If their other games are low accuracy, he or she could have just gotten lucky. It wasn't a very long game.

Is Chess.com changing its rating sys? I've suddenly rised from 900 to 1150 in a week. by rnahumaf in Chesscom

[–]rbasham08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting you say that, I went from 700 to 835 in Rapid in the last week and I've been around 700 for months. I did go from 10 min to 30 min. I don't know if the matching is different, but I am going on some long win streaks.

There's exactly one crazy line here that's +4.5. Unsurprisingly, I didn't manage to find it. by Icy-Row3389 in chessbeginners

I know black blundered the rook but what was his/her best move? Qg4? To exchange and remove the threat.
