you might have to hold CTRL and use your mousewheel to zoom in to see. I had literally just sent that message when he took a minute to move and he disconnected right before i pressed SEND. I had just traded off rooks and queens with him because my passed pawn on the wing could beat his king.

Chess.com recently established a seperate rating pool for violators of the Fair Play Policy to avoid the situation you described.  It takes a while for someone to build up a history and be banished to the bad players pool, but it seems your opponent is well on his way.  Not even sure you need to report it as there is programming that recognizes it.  Did you get a message saying something like "Your opponent may have violated our Fair Play Policy and may have their account restricted"?  Here's the article:

No problem. In post 4, that is completely stupid, he's only down a piece, his position is still playable. I helped you in the name of good sportsmanship...

I know right. I probably know his kind IRL. Why do people have to be like that.

yes, i saw that message. It's still somewhat irritating that my experience is ruined by poor sportsmanship. I pay for diamond membership monthly and am taking my chess study quite serious. As a testament to the level of seriousness, i have played chess all my life and when i came to chess.com i stayed around 1100-1200 and within 3 weeks of study (easily over 200 hours spent on chess.com playing or studying and watching youtube videos/lectures, i reached 1600.) But players like these really ruin that practice. I need a lot of help with my end game and i usually don't get to practice it because i experience players who just disconnect and make me wait 10 minutes more often than not.

Thanks for the links, i'll use them in the future if i find a player who has posts about this sort of behavior, aside from that, I will allow the websites programming to take care of it. Thanks again.

 

EDIT: Does anyone have an advice for someone who quickly rached 1600 through study, but is now incapable of breaking past 1620? I figured I could spend more time on tactics trainer and find documentation on ALL tactics so as to memorize them. Does the tactics trainer here allow you to choose puzzles of a specific tactical pattern?

@Najdorf:

Actually you can choose specific patterns in the TT but you have to head over to V3 ("try the new Chess.Com" down by the green pawn).  So far you can only try puzzles that you've already tried, or at least that was how it worked a few days ago.  Hopefully that's just a bug and we'll have access to the whole database soon.

5 games today, 3 disconnected and made me wait 5-10 minutes after i gained an advantage. lol just checked his profile, has like 7 people saying he disconnects when losing. I'm sure this only happens because i'm so low in rating.

December_TwentyNine

OP I doubt it. You are much higher rated than I am... I'm a patzer!

jjc21

A lot of players do this. lol
