I'm trying something sorta new. Instead of puzzles that go for stalemate or just generic puzzles, I've come up with something I hope is enjoyable :> Your goal is to find who is winning in the position; black, white, or is it going to be a draw in the end? Answers are at the bottom of the positions if you want to see if you are correct or not : ) WHITE TO MOVE BLACK TO MOVE BLACK TO MOVE BLACK TO MOVE BLACK TO MOVE NOTE: THE ENEMY SIDE WILL DO THE HIGHEST MOVE THAT THE ENGINE SUGGESTS Answers: White, Black, Even, White, White

Find The Winning Moves :) [stalemate edition]

These puzzles have a bit of a twist though because your goal is to stalemate (it is the best case scenario if the opponent does best moves. I wasn't planning on continuing to make these but I have underestimated the boringness of physics and french class... anyways enjoy! I hope you like them as much as I had fun making them (also tell me if you didn't like some of them!)

can you spot the winning move (s) ?

I made a big oversight last puzzle, so I'm trying to redeem myself :> There are two puzzles for two different variations Hopefully you enjoy them :] I feel like they are like ~1100 ELO to spot

Player in most recent Rapid Open removed for fair play.

I just got a message that one of my recent losses the points were refunded. I checked and it was the last match I played in today's Rapid Open tournament. I'm curious, what does this mean for the USCF ratings?

Impromptu ( Or Spur of the Moment) USCF Rated Tournaments

Can a USCF affiliated club with a Club TD, have impromptu (or spur of the moment) USCF rated tournaments or do they all have to be published in advance?

National Master Question

I just achieved a USCF rating of 2200 on the dot, however on my USCF profile, it still says I am in the 1st category. Do I need to wait for my 2200 rating to get published(monthly published) in order to get the title on my profile?

Trash Talker

Recently, I played against an Indian chess account while I was playing my opponent got a better position and had attack going on then all of sudden my opponent typed "gg" even though the game haven't ended. Then after I made my move he typed "i see it" in the chat then he typed "lmao I want to see you crying" in the chat not knowing what to do I resigned from the game and reported him to chess.com for trash talking. My question is that, will he get banned?

Rating Inflation

What was the biggest rating inflation between USCF and chess.com rating you have ever seen? (Pls do not specify username) I've once seen some one who has a chess.com rating of 2033 and USCF rating of 1002.

First regular rated OTB tournament in September.

I'm playing in my first regular OTB tournament in September with a time control of 60/+30s. Any tips for playing well and staying focused that you'd like to share?

Rate online tournaments with USCF

How does this club rate their tournaments with the USCF? How do they submit the data from the tournaments?

I wasn't rated. Am I dumb?

Hi, I played in the U1450 15 | 10 Rapid on July 28. It appears I was the only one in the tournament who hasn't gotten a rating. My USCF membership expires on December 31st so it's not a membership issue. Maybe I have to play a certain number of tourneys to get one? I don't have a provisional rating or anything. I had played in an OTB tourney some time last year and on tourney history it says I got a rating but the rating appears as "Unrated" on my USCF page. Am I just stupid?

Chess nightmare

Last night, I had a very weird nightmare. I dreamt that somebody had bought chess.com and turned it into a video game streaming site. What's weird is that on the surface, it looks exactly like chess.com, with the usual buttons and links on the homepage. But when I click "play", instead of getting a chess game, I get directed to a live video game (kind of like Twitch). For the record, I am happy/relieved that was just a dream

USChess/Chess.com Rated Rapid tourneys.

Hi, I played in the U1450 Rapid tourney on Friday and was just wondering where I could check if it has been rated yet. Sorry if someone has already asked this before. I tried searching it up on the forums but was unable to find anything.
