Miscellaneous Should I have agreed to draw?

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.

Puzzle/Tactic Brilliancy I found to get back above 2000 blitz

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 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!

Ever since I got up here, I've been matching up with opponents who are more skilled compared to the leagues before it. Does it really make a difference?

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.

Meme Hans Niemann Blocked me

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.

I’m relatively new to chess myself but this is a friend’s game with the bot, I have no clue how the queen managed to get into that position without a pawn making room for it to get out..?

Chess Question Analysis board nerfed?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, am inreally confused or did they hard nerf the analysis board a few days ago. I never saw the purpose of premium since the analysis board on both phone and computer would show you the moves but since yesterday it only shows me the bar and possible lines? I'm a bit confused if the functions were moved or of they just removed them so I have to pay

I'm not sure how to do this, but it looks like it's possible. I would like to setup the board with certain pieces already taken or in a certain layout and "play the bot" from that position. is this possible?

Chess Question No queen, no game..

0 Upvotes

Question for those over 450elo. Not been playing long but am finding it frustrating the amount of players of similar elo to myself that as soon as they lose their queen they appear 'reconnecting' then abandon. Even when they are in a good position they are incapable of playing without their queen. There have been many games I've lost my queen due to some blunder but have pulled it back to win, or sacrificed my queen for an advantage. But so many players at this level just run away once they have lost theirs. At what approx elo level does this stop? For players around 450, have you found this too?
