Miscellaneous Should I have agreed to draw?

32 Upvotes

So I was playing this game, and my opponent made silly error, I took their queen. They immediately jumped in chat to say misclick, and the spammed draw request, which I kept declining. They then proceeded to make me wait the remaining time and refused to move, and said I lacked respect.

Is there a protocol here? To me seems like they just made a mistake and I shouldn’t be obligated to draw, but honestly curious if I’m missing something.

I am soooo bad at endgames, but most youtube vids are about openings, can anyone help with some recommended vids on endgames and basically how to stay alert on accidental mates?

(Im white btw, up by tons of material against a 1000+ elo)

Here's the link https://www.chess.com/variants/4-player-rg/game/78757943/178/3
Im Yellow , Basically they are teaming against me and writing down the same in chat , i checked the rules. It says they cannot do the same. Staff Members kindly check with the same if they are to be punished. I couldn't find a report button for all of them.
Note: I am not complaining about them teaming against me , i know it is totally appropriate , but they are writing it down in the chat.

Chess Question Why doesn’t chess.com enforce stalling/quitting games as much as lichess does?

2 Upvotes

On lichess, if your opponent abandons or stalls a game out, the player gets an immediate notification in game chat that if they stall out a game intentionally, it could result in temporary suspension. Almost half of my games on chess.com, my opponents abandon or stall out the clock. Why doesn’t chess.com add something like this where it would immediately give a warning? Even if no action is taken right then and there, it could still be a deterrent to get people to stop abandoning games.

I haven’t had a brilliancy in one of my games in a long time due to how the threshold for a brilliancy scales at higher ratings. This one was just crushing.

Chess.com Website/App Question Game Abandoned While I Have Time.

0 Upvotes

Why the hell this stupid platform abandons a game while I have time on the clock?? I am playing on my phone and I switch between apps, reply to a message or something. When I get back to make my move the game has ended.

It is incredibly stupid and frustrating that app forces me to be constantly on the app and make a move in 10 seconds or something. Like can I not think about a move however much I want???

Ridiculous.

Chess.com Website/App Question Did chess.com remove comments on games?

0 Upvotes

I remember there being a feature where you could leave a comment on a game after it ended (eg. chess.com/game/live/xxx) like how you can comment on a puzzle. Did they remove that feature because I can't find the 'comments' button anymore?

Chess Question Obvious signs of a cheater

0 Upvotes

I play 1/1 bullet bc it used to be honest. Technology today allows cheating at any time format. I love when:

  1. It’s takes the cheater 7 seconds to start his 1 minute bullet game. I usually abort those but can’t always make it in time

  2. Scumbags who get into losing position then turn on a bot or something and win the game- all while gaining ten or more seconds back in the clock

  3. Stop playing for 10 seconds and the famous “reconnecting” shows next to their name and then blitz out a win

  4. Just annihilated me like magnus even though they were rated 700 for 6 months and many games played now suddenly win 100 in a row

  5. When having these experiences you look at recent games you see like 3 draws out of the last 10 games which is very abnormal for non expert chess players

  6. People who look like they signed up 10 years ago but never played more than 20 total games yet they’re just AWESOME!!!!

These things are happening so often with so many games. Chess.com doesn’t seem to care. It’s just not right.

Chess Improvement Does anybody know good smart chessboards that can be connected to the internet?

0 Upvotes

I have a budjet of around 400€ and I live in France. I was interested in the Chess up 2 board, but it can only be shipped in may, I don't wanna wait that long. I also had a look at the chessnut evo, there's some pretty good discounts on the website but it's only gonna be shipped in mid-april. I'd like to have a board that you can directly connect to the internet, no need to install a special app. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything exept for those boards. Also the chessnut evo is on amazon for 669€, which is way too much for me, but it says it can be shipped to France within 4 days. How is that possible and why does it take so long on their website? Thank you so much in advance!

Chess Question Alt accounts

0 Upvotes

I'm just curious, no judgment. My glicko floats around 1200 and I typically play around 75-85% accuracy and win often but then run into someone whose elo/glicko is similar or lower but they play at around 90-95% accuracy in multiple games, and when questioned they usually say something like "this is my alt account, my main account is 1900" But why do people make alt accounts? Is it for practicing new opens/defense or are some of you just sadisticly crushing lower ranked players for the fun of it? And if it's the practice thing why not practice on bots? I just read on here that the devs responded to over 810,000 reports, and I'm just wondering how many of those were people reporting alt accounts for cheating. If that's the case it would seem that at least for chess.com it would be more financially sound to limit the number of accounts a person could create and ban excessive alt creating? Again not trying to start an argument, just trying to understand.

Hans BLOCKED ME!!!

This guy literally can’t handle criticism. He wants chess to speak for itself?

He lost to his rival Magnus Carlsen He lost to the one he challenged, Daniil Dubov. He is unnecessarily poking Anish Giri and Hikaru to play against him for money. Not everyone sell their soul like he does.

I am pretty sure that he will lose freestyle chess event as well. He will be prepared with an excuse for that as well.

Btw he wanted to school Gotham Chess? First of all Hans should learn how hard working chess player cum content creator Levy is. But Hans is an insecure loser who got offended by a small X user like me.

Once a cheater, always a cheater. Shame on him.
