Respect

Hey, so my account is https://www.chess.com/member/alexpie and I've had this account for over 10 years. I've always floated around the 950-1000 range and recently started playing chess a lot more often and watching tons of videos on youtube and I managed to get to around the 1030 range before plateauing there. In the middle of a game, which I ended up losing by the way, I received a notification that I was banned from playing for 60 minutes for violating fair play. After losing that game, I discovered that I was actually banned permanently, not only for 60 minutes like the notification that popped up said.

Is there anything that can be done? I don't even know what part of the fair play I was banned for.

Zwischenzug?? Even the chess.com ai thing couldn't pronounce it.

Ke5 means BxQd1. Kf7 is a fork but the opponent sacrifices a rook and gets a queen. How is this a good tactic?

I move my black pawn to d5 to threaten white’s queen. And then white’s pawn on e5 takes my pawn on d5, and it is recorded as exd6+. Was this a glitch? Is this some little known chess rule that I don’t know about? Am I hallucinating? Any help would be much appreciated.

started playing last month but im still playing worse than 120 elo.. dropped so low
my @ is strwalns if anyones interested in finding my mistakes

Just played a bullet game and my opponent ended up having no time left. But I didn’t get the win but a draw because of ‘insufficient material’

I never had this before. Is this a normal rule?

Hello, I accidentally purchased the 1 year plan after forgetting to cancel the free subscription and was charged 120 dollars. I tried getting a refund through the chess.com AI but it has been two days now and I urgently need my money back. If theres any chess.com staff that could give me an update on the status of my refund that would be amazing. My username is pictureframe894

When I played chess, I got matched with this guy who tried some kind of Fried Liver trick on me with d4.

And somehow, in that exact fuc#### position, the move was actually brilliant for absolutely no reason 😭 I thought I had thrown the game because I misclicked and made the pawn take the knight, but nah… Stockfish decided to show me mercy 💀

If you’ve ever had a moment like this, send your game in the comments with your own “brilliant move for absolutely no reason” 😂♟️

Pretty crazy journey. It takes longer to get the last 300 points than to reach 2000 first!

Why did they lose 24 rating points but I gained 15?

I thought it is supposed to be symmetrical.

Their account has been open since 2020 so it shouldn't be a confidence thing, right?

edit: I looked deeper at their account and they only have ~100 blitz games in the last year so it definitely is a confidence thing lol

Game is draw
