I'm studying the Vienna Game (And some of the Bishops Opening) and want to know your win/loss ratio with those openings.

I have a few questions. How do you play the King's Indian attack? Do you think there is any resources that could help me learn it? And what are the win rates for playing it for y'all

I m rated 2132 rapid on online, and 2062 blitz, what would my estimated uscf rating be?

Earlier when I selected the advanced bot, Isla, its name was "Isla 2" instead of "Isla". Anybody else seeing this?

I'm trying to learn the London System. Any Resources? Tips?

?

How do I get better. I am 800 now, but I want around 1100 by the end of the year. What should I do?

I really struggle with USCF rated tournaments. I feel like my rating pools are just so much higher then what they should be. I have about a 1200 uscf and I feel like it should be higher since I see so many 1300s and others with higher ratings of 1300+ uscf. I guess I shouldn't care about rating too much but then again, it kinda stings you when someone much lower rated has a higher uscf.

Just looking for a chess club

Hi, I'm trying to look for chess clubs to join in the summer, could you please give me a few recommendations?

I live in St.Louis and go to a chess club called, "Chess Cardinals." I play OTB here and I am now 1300 USCF after a few months of going there. I am trying to find a new club near the Chesterfield area of St.Louis. If you know any, please let me know. ALSO, please subscribe to my youtube channel linked here!

Hi everyone! Does anybody know how to join a USCF online tournament? And also if I play online USCF tournaments would that increase my rating?

I've came across a problem running into a very obvious cheater. I won't publicly put their chess.com account name here but he played horribly in the opening and then out of nowhere he started playing amazingly and with a deep understanding of the game. he ended up beating me as around a 1200 rapid at the time and I checked his account. first of all he was a 500 rated blitz and played a decent amount of blitz losing to 4 and 500's. I checked his recent games and could clearly see the moment he would start cheating in his games and play all the best moves and come back from a hopeless position. I reported him multiple times and this was well over a month ago and nothing has happened and he is still playing more games cheating and taking elo from other people so it is less about me now and more about everyone! Just wondering if their is anything else I can do? email someone this account and the games and all? people are unfairly losing rating points to the mentioned i ran into. Im not delusional either he admitted to cheating in the chat with me in the game!!

When we play chess openings as white and black should we focus on one opening, or try to learn multiple?

What is everyone's go-to opening?

Today I reached 1000 ELO! My goal is to get to 2000 by the end of the year. Any tips to get there?
