I'm puzzled by certain players whose game is poor up until 1 min before the end, point at which they suddenly turn to Bobby Fisher.  Any thoughts on that? thanks

I've been here for years. If you don't use a computer to select your moves, you have nothing to worry about.

That's just what they want you to think.

It's default base rating. Soon it will be specified in which rating you are by your future matches...

Oh yes it does! How well you play includes how well you manage your time. Time is as much part of Chess as it is in other games. In football you could score the greatest goal in history, but if the referee blows time before it goes in it doesn't count. Similarly in Chess if you don't get your moves in within the time, you lose, and correctly so.


 I could be wrong, but I assume she's talking about blitz games. There are lots of people who are great blitz players but terrible in long games, and vice versa.

That's me :)

If youare playing Ten Min. chess, it may be it is too fast for you...as it is for me...but keep it up, it's fun. The other option is to play on the three weeks option.

Also, check out the learning options to make you a bettter plaayer...and have fun.

Simonero, if you want to have your rating increase more when you win, you want to play people with (a) high ratings and (b) well-established ratings.
