Check out this #chess qame: xaviscran vs mrFaheem75 - https://www.chess.com/live/game 144682187294 ..unfair play has peen rampant on this platform for vears. When there's continuous updates, why has the developer's inabilitv to address the manipulation of this platform by cheaters been going on!? 90% of my loses have been by cheaters manipulating the clock to abruptlv end the game in their favor, while I have the advantage of the clock the entire game...and have made checkmate move and that checkmate move was canceled and my opponent awarded the win!? It's been apparent that cheaters are enabled bv this blatform because the developer doesn't resolve this in all the many updates this platform constantly have...why!?
Chess.com sucks
Happy Birthday to this forum!
Already an entire year! Thank you all very much for the support.
...And we are approaching Halloween. And Stonewalls post is #666 !!!!!!
Epic! but you cut it
Stalemate is a draw because one side has no legal move and its king is not in check.
Take another look at the game. Was your opponent's king in check?
@interllaken if you think that checkmate is said like "chess mate" then I'm going to guess that you are just a beginner who thinks that they know the game.
Same old stuff. Cheaters, high costs, and some mysterious glitch that keeps happening. None of this is true.
Cheaters: This is an online chess website with millions (maybe billions) of people playing on it. In that colossal amount of people, there is bound to be a few cheaters. And chess.com does a very good job detecting them. If you started a chess website, it's not like your website wouldn't have a few cheaters either.
Bots on live games: Standard excuse for losing too much.
High costs: Ok. You get to play chess with millions of people, unlimited, post on blogs and join clubs, and get a lesson, a review, and a few puzzles per day (dozens more if you count puzzle rush and battle) FOR FREE! Think. You came here to play chess. That's completely free, and then some.
Stalemate Glitch and other Glitches: No, you did not checkmate. The king was not in check. For "glitches" like this and other glitches where OP insists their king was in check, or their piece moved magically, they never provide a game. Hmm.
Opponent gets more time: This is likely because your connection was bad (if you are disconnected, your opponent regains his time for that period), or because the clock lagged and it was just making up for that discrepancy.
Flagging, lag, losing, getting banned: Your problem, not Chess.com's.

FR on top of that, the people that make these complaints and say that they are quitting chess.com continue playing this game because they DON'T WANT TO QUIT! Hmmmmmm there must be some weird reason why they would say something like: "yea chess.com sucks" and then continue to play the game. Could it be the fact that they just want attention and they have nothing better to do in his/hers life?
