Chess rating system
I played over 300 rated games (Deep Fritz 13, Intel i5-3570) and my rating increased to 1850
my aim: 1900 and "Club Champion" title
not bad for an amator player, isn't it?
playing rating games is best method to become stronger chess player, imo
above my last game, white has move and black resigned
why exactly?
have fun!

Hey tygar (sounds like tiger to me). Black looses a piece right? Black has to play 1...h6 2Bxf6 Bxf6 3d5!
simply set up this position and try to win game against computer (black) playing with full strenth
and do not use chess program for position analysis of course
solution is not easy, it's hard in fact, it takes many moves to convert positional advantage into decisive material advantage

Hello World!
do you know about the credibility of rating system in this site? I mean for example when you play with a player rated 2000, is it equal to real players that attend at tournoments? or chess.com rating is lower(or higher) than standard and professional rating?
Chess.com ratings do not directly translate to FIDE ratings or any other kind of tournament rating. From experience, I find that ratings on chess sites are inflated.
what about other software's ratings? I mean for example chessmaster? are their ratings standard? or above or below the standard rating?

Computer ratings are totally different from human ratings.

wait, i guess i should look for more than a half min. something to do with the eventual pin on the e file and the eventual undefended r on e8. maybe after nf6 check. surely d5 is main part of it, its just too natural.
I play rating games with Deep Fritz 13. My rating is above 1850 and computer's exactly 1868.
I'm quite strong player as for complete amateur, but now I started to lose more often than win. My weakest point... debuts. I guess, you can't achieve 1900 level without that knowledge.

I'm totally confused by this rating system! I was rated at 1326, had 2 draws (one ranked above me, one below). I then lost two games (both against guys rated about 200 above me) and dropped down to 1311. Fair enough.
I then had my 2 biggest wins to date, against 1502 and 1410 rated players. My rating stayed at 1311!! What's that about? Surely those 2 victories would suggest I jump up the ranks a bit at least!?
