I sit down, trying to play a long game peacefully. However, I LITERALLY CAN'T FOCUS WHEN I'M PLAYING UNRATED GAMES. No one is coming for G30. I waited a full 35 seconds. I set my constraints to -50 and +infinite. I don't want to play against 500s.

just play rated, or go to the other site.

Try classical music or something for longer games to concentrate more

Why is it hard to understand that when there are no stakes it's harder to give a crap?

Half rage forum, half not. Why do I have a harder time focusing than others?

Ask a medical doctor and a psychologist, in that order.

Ah yes, I literally just finished a game on the other site. Can't play rated due to long queue times. I prefer chess.com a lot more though. I'm probably gonna find a practice partner with a similar rating.

Well I'm not gonna spend $20 just to get an answer.

You get what you pay for. If you're paying nothing then...
