LOL.  Baptist, and ever since I was a kid.  Actually, my dad's the pastor of a small church over here.

We should have a chess.com gossip news blog. Who's willing to start one?

Why do I only get one point for a correct answer in Tactics but a -14 if wrong?
Is this a speed chess training tool or what??!!

No, but based on your rating, you are expected to solve problems in a certain period of time. The more time you take over the average, the less points you earn.

So you can see, the last problem you did, you were given a target time of 23 seconds and the average time is 33 seconds, but you took 2:12 minutes, about four times as long as the average. Naturally, you earned less points.

I didn't see any in the last 50 where you lost 14 points.

If I remember right, they recently changed the scoring to be more generous on time.  I don't have a link at the moment, though.

I was not banned, I quit.  And making a blanket statement like "Nobody..." is incorrect.

Is it true some will sell their own mother for a diamond membership?

 

I would guess that would have to be some horrible upbringing to do that, but i guess its a possibility.
