Playing "CHESS" as an under-400 ELO

We should all just enjoy the beautiful game and not worry about ratings.I know people who only play occasionally to avoid losing points. ENJOY chess..nothing else to say .

Some people enjoy at the expense of others. They enjoy telling others about chess and when the new player struggles big time to get past 400 elo they keep telling to the player to continue and to keep studying. I feel bad for both sides. The selfishly irresponsible dishonest ones with higher elo and the under-400s that blindly follow their advice

The original post makes it sound like chess.com as a community are being raided by maniacs, also didn’t this whole ban certain ELO from the forums die like 6 months ago?

you are not completely wrong, we are all being raided one way or another. We are surrounded, as a minority. I wonder what @evert823 has to say about It all

1500 is a lot closer to sub-400 than it is to gm level.

Probably 1400-1500 is the inflection point. Imagine tho a GM trying to understand an under-400 game

I don't understand the point of this discussion. If someone has a chess rating of -400, it simply means they don't yet understand the game; they barely know how to move the pieces.
Is this necessarily a problem? No. As with ALL games, when you're just learning, you're logically going to play bad. And I don't blame them; chess, by its very nature, is incredibly complex and difficult the more you experiment. That's why, statistically, if you have a rating of +1500, you're already better than more than 70% of the people who play chess.

Yeah, I reached 1900 from 600 in just a couple months. It is quite easy, just learn to move all the pieces and you will eventually hit 2000

Do you have difficulty to sleep in the night thinking about u400 players? Are you losing your appetite? There are many contradictory things said in the Op.First you say thing like "disrespecting the community... planning to destroy the community....blah blah blah nonsense."Then you said" I am the protector of u400s."

Then you say "Higher rated players are not giving the right advice and asking them to continue playing chess and learning through puzzles and lessons."Ironically that's what YOU suggested at the end.If what you say is correct then for a 2000,they can say playing "CHESS" under 1500 is a joke... disrespect...blah blah blah.Would YOU accept that?

P.s-If u400 games haunt you that much then don't watch them play.Being a 1300 means you would almost never get to watch them play unless you are playing a tournament.If you are you just complete you game quickly and don't watch them play.That's it.What you write in all you posts is garbage.And this thread ... atleast the starting sounded like Nazi ideology.
