Does anyone know what the chess.com ratings mean while playing a bot ?
I’m just under 500 and after checkmating a bot rated 850 the game review rated my part of the game at 1300? I don’t feel like im over 500…………………….yet

Just like I remember my first beer, I will remember my first double check checkmate that I didn’t realize was a checkmate until after it happened. 😅

Congrats ! That game looked like it couldn’t have gone any smoother
for you. I can’t belive it only rated your accuracy in the 66% range.

chess.com ratings are a mystery for me. Rapid i’m under 500. Puzzles i’ve been as high as 1946, I now hover around 1500-1600. Bots in the 850 range have fallen to me and beat me. Some of my games with bots have said i was 1300 while i’ve also recently been called a 200. My accuracy has been anywhere from 87 to 36 %. btw, i won the game with…

Ditto. Guess I’ll just have to trust the process. Until the training kicks in I guess I’ll have to be content knowing that I’m making a huge contribution to the chess world. So far it seems that my contribution is to raise EVERYONE else’s ELO by beating me.

Had a bit of luck at the end. Accuracy was reasonably good and only one small blunder. I think my opponent could have stayed in if he wanted to. Good game to them 👍🏼

Hi Mr. Lopez, I’m in module 4 currently. The Course has been very helpful. I think I definitely need more tactics puzzles for each specific tactic to practice. Could you please give me an advice of maybe normally how many of them should I do daily. Thanks!

I’ve been using chess.com Custom Puzzles: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/learning. You can select the “themes” relating to the tactics you’re working on, adding more as you work through the course.

In the breaking 1500 course, noticed the overloading lesson was similar to removing the guard from squares as well as pieces. 😃

After some time, longer and won battle. I started with Stonewall attack and tried to attack castled king, but as my development was not complete it stalled. Later my knight was chased a lot and I have made mistake with taking a pawn with rook, not able to predict best oponent move. As pieces were traded, time was running low I managed to see…

Nice job! Nelson makes finding moves so easy but his experience level is eons ahead. Can’t win if you quit early!

Guy sacks his queen on move 13 and runs the clock down like a pro. I finally blundered and resigned.

It doesn’t look to me like a sac but rather a queen blunder. He didn’t see your knight. It looks like you were stressed that he might be some mastermind sacrificing his queen and lost a lot of time, e.g., on move 23 you spent a minute to defend a pawn in front of the king that was already defended by another pawn and the king, so it had…
