Chess rating system
Sort:
I've played one game with a greeter and now a second online game. My profile says unrated. Does it change automagically or do I have to do something to be "rated."

everyone has that. on chesscube you start of at 1500.
You start at 1500 on facebook chess too.
Actually a rating appeared as soon as I finished my first game (that wasn't with a Greeter).
Black to move. Find winning combination.
I found first move, but made mistake later and in the end I lost this game. I'm not very happy about it as you may guess... My rating dropped to 1858.
Nh7-g5?

h4xg5
what next?
I want to understand En Passent rule.
what next?
Good point well made. I thought Qh2 was mating but I'll have to have another look...
Is the first move right or am I miles off course?

1...Nhg5 looks good to me. I see no good defense for white: 2. hg5 Qh7+ 3. Nh2 Rh4 looks like it mates
That's how I played and lost game after 4. Qd6
5.f3
1...Nhg5 2. hg5 that's the start of combination
2... Qh7+ is losing, there is much better possibility
as I wrote, it is wining combination
I play rating games with computer. 2 hours/40 moves, so it is plenty of time.
Anyway, computer needs 1 second only to move 
I need much more time... 
I have to go. Bye!
How about a kf7 and rh8 in there somewhere?
i dont know.
1...Nhg5 2. hg5 Re7 3. Qa3xe7 Qc7xe7 4. Nh2 Qh7 5.Re2 Ne6xg5 6.f3
and you have decisive advantage, not good enough to win with grandmaster but good enough against your level opponent
