also I thought everyone collectively agreed Game Review is nonsense made just to encourage people to get premium.

It definitely works and is a good tool to help players improve alongside puzzles and lessons. But like puzzles, game review is free in lichess. Everything you could get in premium here, you could get in lichess for free.

Me personally, I treat chess.com as a social media and it's where I do the more serious rating climb since this is the most popular chess site, I'd like to take my rating climb more seriously in the bigger ocean. My lichess account is more like a study account in the sense that it's for trying out new openings, reviewing games, solving puzzles.

What about it "rarely works"? It analyzes your game in a way that it offers you the best move in every turn. A lot of times, it could even explain the idea behind why the move is bad or good. It's an effective analysis tool.

Ok. Could you provide an example game? I'm pretty sure it lets you know when you allow a fork, pin, eventual checkmate, etc. It also lets you know if you missed taking a piece, missed a fork, pin, or missed checkmate.

In any case, I do think that in most of my games, the regular analysis is enough since I could derive why the engine suggests the moves that it suggests. However, game reviews are still helpful and more explanatory than the regular analysis so I'll take it over a regular analysis when available.

Hangingpiecechomper is actually a pretty good player who on the forums often pretends to be a clueless beginner. And when people respond, he pounces and starts to verbally abuse them.

I have no idea why the moderators allow this.

I can literally beat people with rating 1700 easily but my rating just can’t go up from 900

900 rated players are actually skilled

in game review it literally says my game rating was 1750

Avatar of fitmoversua

Chess.com ratings are determined by a player's performance, using the Elo rating system which adjusts scores based on wins, losses, and draws. While fluctuations in ratings can appear significant they accurately reflect changes in skill level. If you suspect any unfair play, Chess.com has implemented anti-cheat measures. Although ratings may seem inconsistent at times, they are designed to be dynamic and responsive to actual player performance.

This only indicates that in that game specifically, you were very dominant. Nobody said that 900 players can't be have flashy/dominant games.

You might have actually played like a 1750 that game but if you can't do that every game and if you can't do that in a game where your opponents respond better to your moves, you won't reach 1750.

you will see there is almost no difference in level of play between 200 and 2300 on this site. around 70% accuracy

The accuracy scores are no longer absolute. As of several years ago, they curved them so that almost everyone would get scores in the same 50 to 95 range, regardless of their rating.

It's curved by rating so that a game marked as 90% for a 500 would not be at the same level as a game marked 90% for a 2000.

Why did they do this? Because people were using CAPS to make cheating accusations when it was not designed as such and because lower scores for beginners made some of them feel badly.

Here is the Help page description of CAPS2/ Accuracy :

CAPS and CAPS2

Chess.com’s Accuracy score is now powered by 'CAPS2,' an improved version of the original Chess.com 'CAPS' (Computer Accuracy Precision Score) algorithm.

 

Moves are still compared against the top engine recommendations, but the math on how these are calculated has changed. Why? Well, most chess players - even low-rated ones - make a lot of the best moves!

 

Previously, CAPS (v1) looked to create a 0-100 band within the normal human player range. So, scoring perhaps 40% 'Best' moves, which is very low, was equal to single digits on CAPS. And, scoring a very high number of 'Best' moves, but not a perfect game, was often rated 99.9 on CAPS, even though it wasn’t played perfectly.

 

This made some people feel bad (on the low end), and led to a lot of cheating allegations (on the high end). The new Accuracy scores, based on CAPS2, replicate the feeling of being graded on a test in school.

 

You will notice that the majority of scores now fall mostly between 50 and 95, which provides a more intuitive understanding of how accurately you played in your game.

 

The image below shows Accuracy scores from CAPS and CAPS2 for players rated between 1000 and 1500.

Finally conclusive proof this dude is an imbecile - accuracy is not just about how good you are. It’s very easy to play at a high accuracy if people just trade off all the pieces, or if somebody blunders right at the start. Good players create imbalanced positions which are harder to navigate. So the accuracy goes down.

Wha?! Those could have been newer accounts who are still finding their rating, or sandbaggers.
