I quit chess for now. I hate this bloody game

Reading it a second time, it sounds like that user lost over 100 points due to a single loss.

So they were trying to inflate their rating with the provisional bump, and got angry when they hit their first loss.

I don't know if it was a single loss that prompted a -100... it's unlikely given lichess's system. (you can't start at 2000, you work your way up from 1500, and by the time you're 2400 your glicko is obviously low)

hey guys im totally gonna post bandu

Hmm. I don't know Lichess too well, so you could be right.

If you can’t accept your losses, then get out of the game . Someone loses some of of their precious rating points , what a shame ! 🤨

Agreed

Top 0.1%

I'd argue that's just a lack of skill on the other guy's part though. I'm new, so sometimes I just straight up forget how the horsey moves and blunder my queen. That's just me being bad at chess, not bad luck. Luck comes into play if the other player is having a bad day, but the outcome of the game is never up to chance as long as the rules regarding how the pieces move don't change. The outcome relies on your own choices, not luck. Your choices might be tainted by external forces, but they're still your choices.

Although if we start talking about determinism and free will, this conversation might get pretty long.

Lmao

stay mad 

Nope. You don’t need to talk about determinism, just math. If something has a positive probability of occurring, it’s a mathematical inevitability that it will happen, given enough iterations. Let’s say that my chances of beating Magnus are 1 in 5000. If I play him enough times (and don’t die first) I will eventually beat him. It’s mathematically inevitable. The stars will have to align, but it will happen.

Let’s say the first time I play him, the stars align and I beat him. That’s incredibly lucky. Let’s say the stars don’t align and that doesn’t happen until the 57,000th time I play him. Then I’m incredibly unlucky. The stars WILL align but I have practically no control over when since I try just as hard to win every time.

lets talk about optimism then

 

How about realism? Blitz rating means garbage. Stop taking it so serious.

 

 

You guys are missing the point entirely. It doesn't matter if we're talking about you playing Magnus or you playing the lottery. If you do either enough, you will win, it's just a statistical fact.

bro who the hell gives a crap. my opinion is that he quit cuz he bad so stay mad kid

If I read a simple book for basic review my chess.com blitz goes down to 1900. No.. no.. no... I hope it will go up again.

you need 'samples' to make statistical facts. "My chances of beating Magnus 1 in 5000" is a probablity. Not a sample.

You need real datas to make statistics. 

1 in 50 chance doesnt mean it happens once for every fifty try.

Seriously*
