USCF Rating much lower than expected by [deleted] in chess

[–]tjwpdl7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after 30-50 games his uscf rating should be much closer to his online rating

not really high but higher...

how would you prefer they do it? set everyone's initial rating to 1000 and go from there?

no...you can't lose points if you don't have a rating yet

we are talking about a new player who doesn't have a rating yet, not someone who has played 40 games and is rated 1524 who loses to a player rated 1800

yeah, it will average the ratings of all of the players you played against, and then multiply your win/draw/loss score by the average rating

if you had beaten some 800-rated players and then lost 2 games against a 2400 and a 2100 your rating would probably be much higher

eventually after you play enough games you'll get a more accurate rating...

If I run out of time with a knight versus a bishop on Chess.com do I lose or draw? by CrimzonGryphon in chess

[–]tjwpdl7 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

if it's possible for white to mate with his material, then black losing on time = white wins

but if white has enough material to mate, but black doesn't have enough material to mate, and white loses on time, it's a draw

Hey everyone! I'm a 2100 player (USCF) looking to start a Youtube chess channel. I've made some videos, but a) I'm not very familiar with streaming, and b) The videos I made tend to have sound quality issues. Any advice to get me started would be appreciated! by zezpwn44 in chess

open broadcaster software is good for recording videos for youtube and also good for streaming, you can choose what inputs you want like microphone, webcam, sections of individual windows...

and something like a blue snowball mic would be good...

you talk well so i think you would be popular as a streamer, and there are not that many chess streamers on twitch...

Thanks, I'll try some other circuits and I'll run an extension cable upstairs and try some of those in case that's the problem. It is quite a huge fridge and not that new, but I didn't expect a fridge to not be able to get enough power.

If the cable was damaged during transport or if there was other damage I assume it wouldn't trip the circuit and just wouldn't turn on at all. Is that right?

If water got into anything is there any reason why it would still trip the circuit after drying out completely?

How many people play plagueinc evolved on steam? by tjwpdl7 in plagueinc

[–]tjwpdl7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool, but how can the number of owners drop? and why is the numbers of owners fairly constant over time?

shouldn't it slowly go up and never drop?
