Chess isn't fun. WHY CAN'T I WIN???

the problem according to the post game computer analysis is that you played your level and your opponent played double their level. solution: just play double your level, then you'll win 50/50.
(actually i think it's hard capped at right about double to avoid being truly ridiculous)

just have fun, who cares about rating? rating is just a number

Chess is hard, it doesn't matter how good you get. You will always lose, because of many issues such as mood, sleep, time, skill, or many others. Take a break and come back in a month. I personally have a mode I just play for fun like blitz and then I play rapid with more serious intention.

That "level" is rigged. Proof: take pgn, edit Elo, load into analysis, observe that level changing and even proportion of great/excellent moves changes. Rigged completely. If you have higher Elo they won't risk telling you your play is 100-level. Huge lie. 100-level is random-moving monkey level, should never be assigned to anyone.

My good dude I get that you're trolling and wheee fun but what part of the irony present in "solution: just play double your level, then you'll win" evaded you?

This happens a lot to everyone. It’s called tilt. Also your rating may have never been stable in the first place, might’ve got to 800’s by luck. But the good news is, the more u drop and the more u get back to 800. Then ur truly at least an 800 player. Keep studying more to break into 900’s and eventually 1000

I’ve hit 1900’s for like the third or fourth time of my life. Always falling below 1900. But now I can truly call myself a 1900 player because I’ve stabilized my rating

My good dude, you can check yourself that it is rigged, if you deny obvious fact that is easy to check you're just a troll.

The problem is that you resign when you lose a piece or two.There is no point resigning because you can try to do stalemate or maybe try to do a quick checkmate that the opponent wont see!

How did I troll you? Do you know that whatever you are doing now is a personal targeted attack and it is not allowed by chesscom rules?

Guys this is dumb, the way to win is not to play. If you play 1 game, and win, then you have a better win-loss ratio than Carlson.

No skill tho

Skilz issues

Nobody needs skill, but everyone needs easy bragging rights.

That is why chess was invented

I feel the frustration and wish I would not have started this rabbit hole. Something that was fun makes you want to win but the time and life you have to give. Plus money. If I would have actually spent the time I spent on studying something else I might have a career instead I’ve just proved that I’m a dumb ass when it comes to chess. The only people who don’t suck are the people who actually make money. If there is no money then why waste time to become something to a game that most likely will just piss you off and leave you feeling frustrated. I know this because how many years of people posting these same type of posts. That’s the turn off of chess and why so many play video games. It’s about fun. Not losing and feeling stupid and frustrated and your confidence crushed because of some game. I spend more time on music these days and I’m much much much happier. I will always have love for chess but damn….
