Feel free to remove this post and ban me or whatever, I’m done here for good. So tired of “losing” games like this and not getting points refunded. It ruins my day and wastes my time.
This is the average chess.com experience now
Sort:
You’re rated 1600. That’s actually relatively rare on chess.com with ELO deflation and everything. Keep trying bro. It was just one game. We all have losing streaks. (Plus, just cause someone played really well doesn’t mean they cheated, it just probably means it was a good day for them or they’re underrated). Don’t quit now. Feel free to challenge me when I’m online and we can play. :)

I am not rated 1600, I am usually over 2000. This is a new account. Your message has nothing to say about my post. I destroyed a weaker opponent who proceeded to magically find a way to win anyway. It wasn’t a one move blunder either, he kept ~taking time~ to find deep positional annoyances until I finally blundered. This is the same player who couldn’t compete at all when ALL his pieces were on the board. I’m not generically aggrieved about “losing” I’m annoyed about spending time to play an excellent game and having it all be a waste because my opponent can’t take a loss. And it happens way too frequently these days.
Nothing will come of my report. It’s completely pointless logging on to play games like this. They used to respond to reports very promptly, I almost never hear back about any now.
This guy is not anywhere close to my league, could not play well to save his life and then magically put the screws to me and won down a Queen in a dead lost position with no compensation. Many such cases.
