IS CHESS.com a scam? I THINK SO

Why do I write this? 5 years ago I was rated in the 1100 range, since then I haven’t been able to pass 900 without losing to “lowkey” grandmasters. I’ve had losing streaks of up to 10 in a row AND I’ve had multiple matches (in a row) where I was stripped to a king then stalemated. Are you hiring grandmasters to play chess now????? REALLY GETTING OLD...if you don’t want players to level then why bother with the site???

Hmm.  Well I don't think they are hiring grandmasters to stalemate you.

Lowkey GMs work strictly on commission. 

One flaw with your hypothesis, other players level up over time just fine.

So, is it more likely that the most popular chess website on the planet prevents players from gaining rating points, or is just that you suck at chess.

Most of humanity sucks at chess, even by my standards as a low-intermediate player.

So, applying Occam’s Razor would lead us to the conclusion that you aren’t being targeted by a vast conspiracy theory employing Grandmasters to harass you, you just suck.

There is nothing wrong with sucking at chess, I suck too, just slightly less than you do, just admit it instead of coming up with these fantasies.

Here is a basic sanity check for you, do you think the fewer than 1800 Grandmasters on earth have time to deliberately and systematically target sub 1000 rated players on Chess.com to stop their progress?

If you answered yes, consult a psychiatrist.

Gotta make a living somehow... this covid pandemic has people unemployed left and right and if it stalemating low-rated players feeds your children who are we to judge?

Losing games is proof of only one thing.

I'm not going to say it.

Well lowkey GM is already taken. 

I'm not sure if this is a troll thread or not. :-)

If it's not - I don't think anything nefarious is going on. I just think your skill level just about matches your present rating. One good example is your last draw game. In that game, you actually had an easy, winning endgame, but because you had no clue how to safely escort your pawn to the promotion square, the game ended in a draw. You cheated yourself out of a half point in that game.

You are tilting case closed

hey, it's okay to tilt. i've been tilting since i made my account

 

It means somebody else won. 

This is the dumbest chess.com conspiracy to be made.

As if GM's have the time to make alternate accounts and deliberately stalemate and harass 1100 rated players.

 

 

Scams are usually shaped like a pyramid. A chessboard is square shaped.

In bridge you can blame your partner, in backgammon you can blame the dice, but in chess you can only blame yourself.

In fact, a large square made up of 64 liddle squares ... and I can tie my own shoelaces.  Now that's saying something.

I have never meet a lowkey grandmaster in my games, how do you?
Advice: You don't need to go fast, if you lose, analyis your game, learn from the mistake, no need to play 10 games in a row. Also, don't play for rating, play to improve. 
Smartwork > Hardwork

and another stupid threat where people discuss the topic, but the OP remains silent all the time.....

Ngl I think you just suck

This thread is hilarious 😆
