PS: I know that now you will all begin to write that what I say is not true, that I am making up fandomie, always say this every time I open this protest topic ... I know well that you are all paid by the site to cover up the inconvenient truths

Good at making excuses ?

Can we do the opposite? Get free membership and give up rating points?

If after 8 months, and 400+ games of speed chess, and youre still an 800 player?  It may just not be the sites fault.

Just play on Lichess. You will get better with them than you will with chess.com especially since you don't have premium

it is evident that you did not understand the meaning of what I said ... explain to me how is it possible that every time I get a high score (by my standards), I start to meet screens of strong opponents, one after the other, who they drastically lower my score by pushing me down ... and even if my score goes down, I continue to meet strong opponents even though they have around 800 points, but who have the same skills as those who have 1000 points ... this thing it happens SYSTEMATICALLY ... the thing is strange because to get to 1000 points I had to defeat opponents with more than 900 points, sometimes succeeding easily ... explain to me why all of a sudden, I start to lose all the games? ... then this means that periodically I suddenly become stupid and start losing all the games against all the opponents, even those with 800/900 points ... and already ... do you think this makes more sense?

 

Streaks happen to everyone. I have a club member I play a lot. I can have times when I win 80% of our games and times when I'm lucky to win 30%.

 

Add to that, when you get on a losing streak, it is really easy to get into a mindset where you'll just keep losing. It has nothing to do with your opponents exactly.

Lol. A troll. If you’re not trolling, then I’ll say one thing. Everyone at your level blunders pieces. Just look for them. Just because you can’t see them or you are just bad at the game does not mean chess.com does that.

Getting a membership does not increase your rating.

I looked at one of your recent losses.

You spent the first 8 moves moving nothing but pawns.

The problem isn't the website, or some secret conspiracy against you -- the problem is that you still have much to learn.

The good news is, this means your problem is fixable. To do that, you first need to accept that your losses are coming from your own mistakes. Then, you'll have to begin putting in work to correct them.

I always play in the same way, which is what allowed me to get a score of over 1000 points, also easily beating opponents with 900/1000 points

What you’re saying is:

 

You play badly which is how your rating never passes 1000. Ah, I see. 

 

OR

 

You play badly which is how you got your rating up.

That does sound like a scam then.

So in other words, the site is a scam because you're incapable of reaching beyond 1000 rating

How? The point of the membership is not getting free rating points. The point is to improve your chess with the various features it unlocks.

Then again, you joined 22 hours ago, so you’re probably just a troll account or alt.

It wouldn't be free, I would gladly pay Tuesday for 100 rating points today.
