Hello everyone! Are any of you traveling on winter break? I am in China right now 

Today I played a chess game and made a brilliant move.

My  rating  is  892

I have made a brand new chess club. It's named a club for everyone. Here's the link to the club https://www.chess.com/club/a-club-for-everyone-2

Tell Us About Yourself

Kings land chess peoples! Is there a chess tournament this saturday?

AceOfDiamonds-RZ: YOU are the prime harasser of people in this club. You have been verbally abusing me EVERY time you play any game against me in a tournament. Even when there are over 40 minutes to go in a one-hour tournament you start private-messaging to me "You are going to lose!", or "You are stalling again!" from the first minute you play against me. And you do that constantly, almost once every minute. Why would anyone want to "stall" when there are 40 minutes in the tournament to go, and everyone just has 10 minutes for each game? Obviously you just wanted to rattle me this way in the middle of the game, and you were just trying to win by this grossly unethical way. Yes you won that game against me because I was unnerved. I bet you do that to Chippy120 too. Now I see that you are trying to get others to cancel me and Chippy120. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, AceOfDiamonds. I have reported you. Stop what you are doing.

Are you guys coming to the trophy tournament in San Francisco on 3/30???

Is there a tournament today?

DON'T STALL IN THE SATURDAY ARENA EVEN IF IT ENDS IN 1 MINUTE I just wanted to make sure that everyone actually knows this, because this is on the Chess.com fair play policy. I wanted to tell everyone this because it's actually happening ALL THE TIME in the arenas, where you're ahead by a lot of material and have a winning position, but your opponents see that the games are about to end and they have enough time, so they just stall, and this happened to me yesterday against Chippy120 who decided that since he was down by 14 points in material and would be mated in 1 move, should stall (also can someone please send this to him?). Like seriously, don't stall, since you're going to get reported, and you just ruin everyone's day (Chippy120). PLEASE DON'T STALL, SINCE IT JUST RUINS THE CHESS.COM EXPERIENCE, AND IF YOUR OPPONENT IS STALLING, REPORT THEM FOR FAIR PLAY VIOLATIONS - STALLING. It only takes like 5 seconds, and the Chess.com team WILL actually respond to you (once one of my friends got +50 rating because one of his opponents had stalled in-game).STALLING = BAD = AGAINST RULES = WILL GET REPORTED = You're gonna have a bad time -AceOfDiamonds-RZ

THIS IS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT DON'T STALL IN THE WEEKLY ARENA, AND/OR USE ENGINE There are people who violate this policy every day in the arena. Among these people are AbleDroopyBobcat and Chippy120. They've both stalled in their games, faking a "I'm thinking" or even just outright telling me "The games are about to be ended in 1 minute."If you agree that stalling is bad, join me and CANCEL them.
