You sure you posted on the right chess website?  Don't believe chess.com has ever used credits, or cubits, or any of that stuff.

                WOW, you picked up on that quick Dog!       It wasn't obvious to any body.   Quick on his feet

If you send me $100 via Paypal, I might be able to arrange some credit.

To clarify some doubts, i think the OP wanted to ask if he can still play any form of Live Chess(Bullet/Blitz/Standard) if one of his ratings come down to 0. There isn't such a thing as 'credits' on chess.com.

The answer is probably yes.

Yea its a chess.com and am talking about the credits which are displayed as points in the statistics.. And if anybody have any idea about this kindly tell me coz am a new-bie here in this site. And thank you for your comments as they seem count on me. Still very very attentive replies from my new friends :)

              Wait a minute;  there was a guy here last night(OP) who asked people for the're bank account. When I said why, he said, if you beat me in chess, I'll deposit money in your account. Course the mods deleted it, just when I started having fun with'em.

Avatar of RonaldJosephCote

               OK, now I'm completely confused. Credits, Points, + Statistics are 3 different things.

Avatar of Prasanna_dasari

If you are experienced...kindly help me to guide here. Remember, when you are new too ,you may into the same situation. Please, let me survive ... points,credits,statistics ..means different. But, still they r inter-related. All are numerical values.. Thank u. :)

                   All right, I'll try. For starters, forget credits. There's no crying in baseball; there's no credits on chess.com  Ratings are what you want. The higher, the better, but talk is cheap. The points next to your name don't mean anything either(I think). They did, years ago. You get more of them, if you do a lot on this site. Play, and Post, and ??  You've been here for 5 days. You'll learn more as time goes on. If your really stuck, hover your mouse over my name, you can send me a message anytime. I'll allways help you, but I don't wake up till noon. Feel free to ask Baddogno, he'll help too. If neither one of us are around, ask staff--the site. You'll see a lot of flags next to people's names. Statistics take a lot of time and space to explain. We will cover them next lesson grasshopper!

You're obviously a very polite young man and so please accept my apologies for so quickly dismissing your question.  This site can be a little confusing when you first become a member.  One resource that many members aren't aware of is that all of our posts are archived.  Quite often the quickest way to find an answer is to type your question into the "search forums" box in the upper right (immediately under the green Post New Forum Topic).  Just as an example, if you were looking for a great beginner's book on chess, you would type in something like "best beginner's book" and get back lots of previous threads.  And here is the link to just that search.  So have fun and don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't find the answers in the archives.  We're sometimes a bit brusque around here, but almost everyone means well.
