Sort:
Masterxexe

Hello everyone I'm new to chess.com and to playing chess I always knew how to play but really haven't gotten into it until recently I joined June 17 started with a score of 500 or so I think. Went down to 400 and now up to around 930 I'm just curious is that a decent score for a beginner? Been playing for about a month now just looking to learn about the system and chess.

Thanks for stopping by!

All you're playing is speed chess.  So dont expect much improvement.

What do you mean by speed chess? I have been playing rapid which is 30 minutes is there a longer version?

Well, I can't speak for "good" players, but you are already higher rated than I ever reached on rapid after two years... I know that's not a particularly high bar, but still, yay you! grin.pnggold.png

Oh wow alright thats not bad I suppose then I came from a strategy background. I was a master league player in starcraft so maybe some of those skills are transfering over idk haha

Well I wouldn't read too much into it, because 1) I am unusually bad, and 2) I also played a lot of strategy games, although not starcraft. Total War Rome II and 4x games mostly.
