Nice blitz game that guy got way too cocky - he castled into your pawn storm. then he got greedy. he spent 15 seconds on gxf3??? did he seriously miss the checkmate damn

but i can’t talk too much trash my blitz is not even 1400 i blunder pieces all the goddamn time

I still can’t believe you have a 1600 rating in bullet. I tried a few times and can’t do it. i don’t even know how to play filler moves. i can be up a queen in bullet and still lose on time.

I beat an 1800 in rapid i am very happy.

These ratings seem super inflated though, he literally lost at move 18 Bg5??? because he didn’t see a simple pawn fork. from then on he played worse and worse on tilt and gave me checkmating chances

Nice work. I can’t play bullet right now since I don’t have an iPad anymore. The trick with bullet and blitz too I guess is to have an iPad. It’s faster to move the pieces on the iPad. You don’t need premoves. When it’s your opponents’ turns, move your piece to where you want it to be, but don’t let go of it until you know that you won’t blunder it away when it is your turn. I think about 50% or more of my bullet games were won on time…

EDIT: If you are a USCF member then you can play in the USCF chess.com rated tournaments. There is one today @ 5:00 PM (1700) PDT

What do you guys/gals think about a triple tournament in one event?

  1. Magic: The Gathering - Standard

  2. Chess - Classical

  3. Poker - NLHE

I don’t know how to play chess, but I’d like to learn with this: https://squareoffnow.com

i didnt know you could play USCF tourneys online cool thx! but… how do they prevent cheating??? i think i’d rather do offline for an official tourney

Oh, believe me…

There’s a less than 5% chance that you will encounter cheaters on chess.com during the USCF rated tournaments because the USCF will also punish you if you cheat…
