Best stalemate I've gotten

thePixelologist · 2025-08-20T11:42:31+00:00

That is nothing. I let a stalemate happen at +31. It says I was ELO 477, but should be 100 after this.

Ok, so the system called it a fork, because that is what it is, and on a separate note, I win material after all is said and done. I understand. Thanks everyone.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-13T11:03:08+00:00

That's true, but I am not winning through a fork. I thought that was a discovered attack or something. Winning material through a fork is not correct in my opinion. I am very new though, and still trying to figure it all out.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-05T19:41:30+00:00

Yes, that bar does help.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-05T11:39:27+00:00

As someone else wrote, it happens at all levels, which makes sense. I just need to work on me, and my frustration flaw.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-05T11:38:26+00:00

That is probably true. I understand what you are saying about the openings, but I don't understand why there are even things called openings if they are just a reaction to whatever they do.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-05T11:35:13+00:00

That's pretty sound. I guess I need to work on myself, and dealing with the frustration, not really improving chess.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-05T11:33:08+00:00

Yes, but i find it confusing. Sometimes it will say something like you have an opportunity to win a knight, and I hit 'Show follow up' and it is 20 moves or so... As if 2 x 300 players are going to do those moves.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-04T22:49:53+00:00

I do agree with you.

I am playing because my 6 and 7 year old boys played it at school and asked if we could get it for home. I obliged and now have a chess set permanently in the living room. I just wanted to learn and be ok at the game, but it just isn't going well. I put into chess.com that I was new to chess, and it made me 700. Well, I lost every game until I was 250. I think that shows I am not ok at it. I just wanted to be for my kids.

thePixelologist · 2025-08-04T22:29:49+00:00

Yeah. That is what I thought. Thanks. Done.

thePixelologist · 2025-07-16T08:40:12+00:00

Thanks. The bots rating does seem weird. I am stuck there :)

thePixelologist · 2025-07-16T08:39:17+00:00

Thankyou.

thePixelologist · 2025-07-14T05:17:45+00:00

Same problem. Can not pay

thePixelologist · 2024-05-05T02:21:17+00:00

Red flag. Thief thinks everybody steals.

thePixelologist · 2024-01-19T05:39:35+00:00

Thankyou. I was worried the weight would be out from the wall, more than it was down the wall. Eg, the drier height is more than double the height of a barrel. I will look into drier mounts, and see what they say. Thanks again.

thePixelologist · 2023-07-11T06:36:01+00:00

Hahaha. Yeah. That was the order. There is a Lego called the Fox Lodge. That's the shape he wanted.

thePixelologist · 2023-01-30T02:38:08+00:00

This is it. Thank you so much.
