Chess.com community survey

Sort:
bowspear

We're doing a survey in school and I decided to collect my information on chess.com.

I have two questions.

What is your rating for rapid on chess.com (exactly)

What is your favourite chess player of all time (bobby fischer, capablanca, alekhine etc).

The results will be showcased (I won't say who you are of course) in school.

We're trying to see if there is a relationship between rating and player preference.

Please comment down below. Thank you.

There has to be someone like this in every survey.

My rapid rating on here is 1923, but I had played very few games and I think it is still provisional.

My favorite player is Fischer. 

This is painful to think about, there are tons of great players. Karpov is a close second.

1125 Kasparov and Fischer you can decide which to put in your survey.

 While I think the methodology is flawed (i.e. trying to correlate "favorite player" with ratings, but then using an online blitz rating as the basis), that's your business.  I'm assuming by "school" you mean the school chess club?

Anyway, my chess.com blitz is 1301.  My favorite player might be Joseph Blackburne.

I don't play rapid chess because it's not real chess. Also I don't play chess here.

Fischer because he always played to win with both the White and Black pieces.

How is rapid chess not real chess?

To the OP: sorry - don't play rapid.

To batgirl:

Interesting! I had never heard of Joseph Blackburne. Did a google and learned something.

From wikipedia:

Joseph Henry Blackburne (10 December 1841 – 1 September 1924), nicknamed "The Black Death", dominated British chess during the latter part of the 19th century. He learned the game at the relatively late age of 18 but quickly became a strong player and went on to develop a professional chess career that spanned over 50 years. At one point he was the world's second most successful player, with a string of tournament victories behind him, and popularised chess by giving simultaneous and blindfold displays around the country. Blackburne also published a collection of his own games.

 

Stick with me. We'll go places... through time.

you might try to ask a survey about forum topics.

they are dull.

i think that you need to understand how to develop a moderator with more finesse.

of course, poor language should be ended, but then you need to allow a fourm for paid subscribers  ( without using poor language ) to say what they want to say politically or religously ( dark as it may be ).

this should be a subscriber forum only and moderated only for fecal type poor language..so as to allow everyone their say in these poor times.

this is an international site. 

i am not from the nsa, but maybe i could be.

let the site be open for alll

 

or, DO NOT ALLOW POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS COMMENT ON THE SITE.

I WILL BE MONITORING YOU THRU A DARK SITE.

It's a project for maths. We're supposed to ask people a numerical and  categorical question and put a chart of it on paper. Thereis no  chess club in my school.
