This thread is meant to be an introduction to chess.com for beginners. Important concepts you must know to understand this website will be defined.

-Live Chess:

1.Place where you are supposed to play chess but you always end up playing blitz.

2.Place where you go when you want to be insulted when you win at chess.

 

This makes the definition of two other concepts indispensable:

 

-Cheater: user that beats you

-Sandbagger: user that beats you and has a lower rating than you.

 

Now, other concepts shall be defined:

-Online chess

1. Place where you go when you want to play chess and be insulted if you take your time.

2. Place where you go when you want to play chess and get time stalled.

 

-Tournaments: you go here when you want a digital image as a prize for winning some games.

 

-Tactics trainer:

1. Chess.com feature that makes you think you are good when you are not.

2. Chess.com feature that steals your points when you get the correct answer using more time than the machine expected you to use.

 

-Chess Mentor: (see first definition of "tactics trainer")

 

-Daily puzzle: chess puzzle that varies randomly in difficulty, but is always filled with stupid comments like: "fp", "easy" or "X anime is love".

 

-Groups and teams: sects

 

-Forums:

1. Dejà vu

2. Questions that need no answer.

3. Blackhole you cannot escape from.

V2: Our Lord and Saviour

Erik and Co: unbelievers

V3: false prophet

Una mañana fría llegó Erik  con aire insigne
se quito el sombrero muy lentamente
bajó de su caballo con voz profunda
le dijo a su lacayo: ahí está la v2, ahí está, ahí está viendo pasar el tiempo
la v2
