Chess.com is awful.

If your so smart than you should figure out how to beat them. If your losing to them that you have to realize that your just as bad as them even if you play "good moves". I am in the same boat I feel like I can play at least a 1700 level on my good days but when people through random stuff at me I sometimes get lost because the stretegy compeltlty changes. I know they are terrible moves but it take some analytics afterward and going over the game for me to figure out what went wrong. You have your stop complaining like a child and learn from being just as bad as them. If you actually care about the game you will leave them in the dust but if you waste all your time complaining about it than you'll forever be stuck losing to 1.h4 and it's your own fault

The thing is 1. a3 or 1 .h3 are not as terrible as you think. Maybe once you accept that, you will start playing better.

Oh, may I ask why you think so?

The developments of the Internet and the Web have given us many great and useful tools and diversions [along with a few, mostly inconsequential, headaches, e.g., virii, spam, etc.].  Chess.com is among the top 10 greatest Internet/Web achievements ever.  

Zippity do dah. You certainly seem to know a lot about chess.

It certainly shows. You're so knowledgeable.

ByE!

If 1.h3 is so stupid, you shouldn't have any problem beating them, therefore getting a higher rating, and playing against people who play "non stupid" openings.

Okay then how are they good starting moves, they seem incredibly passive, besides throughing off your opponent it doesn't seem like the serve a purpose aside from letting your opponent make the first moves in the shape of the game. I also don't see how they could help future pawn chains or anything, can you explain to a chess patzer like myself why they have merit?

Everyone is free to play what they want. And you are free to smash them if you can.

By no means am I saying that those are meritorious moves. I'm just saying that 1. a3 or 1. h3 are not as terrible as you think. I'm asking you to not get excited and think that you're immediately winning if your opponent starts with those moves. In fact the position still remains perfectly balanced after 1. h3 or 1. a3 if your opponent plays reasonable moves after that.

Consider the example shown below.

Do you think black is better here?

It depends. This is my opinion, but I think it works: Sometimes I play crazy openings, as for example, sacrifice the bishop on move 3 or 4 against their f7 pawn. I am losing, that's for sure, but a complete game full tactics arises without no book knowledge, and I have won many of those games. What do I get? The fun of it and the possibility of having a game with loads of tactics and position in which I am worse and I have to recover by a powerful atack or development.

When you want to play a "normal" game, then of course you don't do those openings, but you are trained in tactics.

In that position no but I feel like black played very passively, to me it seems like 2. c5 would be a much more testing move of whites position, I understand that I am only 1000 rated but to me that just looks like white is asking to give black the initiative in the center and take control of the board. Maybe I just don't see everything but gambiting the c pawn for center domminace with a follow up of e5 just seems strong to me. Obviously white doesn't have to accept but you are now creating a stiuation as black where white most likely has to repond to the center attack and that puts the game already in your control in a sense, dose it not?

Yes, I am 2k+ in blitz, Yes i play crappy opening.  Why do I need to care seriously on opening? Because I am not playing against 3300+ but another crappy 2k.  Another reason is that chess is a draw game (more than 90% of stockfish vs stockfish in a long time control is draw). Why do i need to be so serious on opening as I can do one inferior move or serious of minor inaccurate moves and can still draw. You need at least 5.00+ equivalent value of material advantage or position to win an opponent/ to mate opponent's king in endgame.(assuming all pawns are potential 9.00+ queen). 

 

BTW, there is a prediction in talkchess forum that , as current stockfish vs stockfish is 90% draw with 3300-3500 elo,  once chess is solved , perfect chess vs perfect chess will be 100% draw and the rating perfect chess engine will be between 4000- 5000. If these predictions are correct , current stockfish in long time control will be able to get one draw in ten games vs perfect chess engine(while losing other 9 games).

Yes, i dont care for no improvement as I will need more than 1000 -5000 hours of accurate and systematic study to reach 2k amateur to 2.5k+ pro chess players. I think my rating was flat since 15 years ago of my 20's.  I and not interested to be proud as professional sacrificing such massive hours of painful study . Same as not everyone is running/playing football to compete Ronaldo/Kanyanian runners.

I start to realize that this site actively supports pedophlia, several indians chatted to my old pic showing a child in a sexual way and no mod stopped them.

Well, I played the objectively best moves possible in that example, but let's see your line too.

If this is what you're suggesting, then you're wrong again. White simply keeps the extra pawn and is better, sure black has more space in the center but that won't last very long. I would rather play as white here.

Long story short, at your level which is around 1000, games are not won/lost because of a novelty played in the opening. They are lost because of a blunder committed somewhere in the middle game. So I suggest that you work more on improving your tactical skills and try not to hang pieces rather than worrying about what move your opponent opens with.
