turtle, the general points system followed is as follows:
pawn - 1pt.
knight/bishop - 3pts.
rook - 5pts.
queen - 10pts.
of course points are not everything... the position of your piece also matters.. for example you might not mind losing a bishop or rook to save a pawn on the 7th row.. and points dont have any bearing on the game result.. it is just a basic framework to help beginners understand the value of different pieces
Actually,if you check "Details" during a game, you will see that the Queen is given 9 points, not 10.
How can you say check mate isnt possible? I can still move my rook, free up pawns and get it promoted. Is this a computer thing?

If one side has potential checkmating material but the other does not, and the side that has the material runs out of time, this can happen. The side without the material can't win because they don't have enough material for checkmate, but the side that ran out of time can't win because they ran out of time. So it's a draw.

get pleasure from chess!
playing in chess.com is getting uncomfortable... it disconnects in the middle of the game , and when you are almost winning... is there anything the opponent got to do with it?
chess prodigy is right at the start youre rating is gets up by 200 points and falls down 200 points and after 20-30 games if you beat a player higher rated 300-400 points you would barley get 30 points and when you start happens somthing like what chessprodigy sad you will be left back with a inacurret rating when its hard to find someone higher rated that will accpet your challenge

Dude, you're my hero.
then how did i start at the rating of 950.
I like the glicko rating system, the higher your glicko rating is, the less games you have played, the lower the glicko rating system is, the less games you have played. +1 for this forum. :) The thing in USCF is they have to base your rating of at least 25 games so you can get an estimate of your real chess rating.
Unfortunately this may not be very close to their actual USCF rating. This happens because of items like time management during a rated game, just as one example. Some times people just don't do as well under stress during a real game or simply don't look for tactics at the right time during a rated game. Using the tactics trainer your always looking for tactics while using it. That does not always equal the person looking for potential tactics while in that rated game.
