Hi I’m TheRateClimber, and you can just call me TheRateClimber or Rate or Climber. Any of these works. However, im not telling anyone my real life name (Never told anyone my real name) nor age (perferably not - I already told a few) nor where I live (perferably not - I already told a few as well).

Invite me (by explicitly direct messaging / no using builtin system club invite provided by chess.com) to your club only if you are considering partnering with me for club super admins. (I will invite you back to my club for partnership). Otherwise, I will reject your invite. If you are an owner of a club, I can also help you with your sidebar, but you have to make me SA of your club.

My favorite song is Oogway Ascends from Kung Fu Panda and my favorite versions of the song are listed below (in no particular order; I love to listen every single version):

I have a club (please join especially if I friended you): https://www.chess.com/club/therateclimbers-friends/join

And about what used to be on here: I didn’t totally delete it; Instead, I archieved it. So in case you are curious, you can ask me about it.

Friends That Made My Day (DM me if you want to be on here; no guarantees though - meaning I don’t have to agree to add your username)

@agentspeedyman - Thank you for playing a lot of chess with me on the website; Really helped with my boredom when I needed a friend (not any stranger with varying levels of chess) to play with.

@JuanEgg - A really nice friend. We also played at a lot of chess. Also, thank you for the messages that ask me how I am doing.

@elijaheindl - First person to ever give me SA in a club that she is the Owner of without any prior request.

@DAKIIIINGGGG - Thank you for trying to revive my club at one point.

@rahuladharv - I still remember we met while play 4 player chess in chess variants. Really fun person to play with.

@inappropriateusername2035 - A very nice person to play and chat with.

@D4RKonYT (used to be Astro_Pup) - Nice friend to chat and play with; I had a lot of fun.

@Pixzyl_Pawn - First person to join my club without any invitation.

@BreadMan2301 - Really Fun Person. I loved the concept of playing unrated low accuracy chess.

@2000EloBy2026 - Even though you did not want to join my club, thank you for playing with me. First person I met that focuses on chess skills over the social aspect (club) of this website.

@DietyofDestruction - Used to be an early member of my club; thank you for everything; Great Memories.

@I-am-ktvann - The first friend that I asked for club partnership for. Thank you for accepting it :)

@kool-car-guy (@ryan-saxena) - Best chess.com friend. You’d be a really cool and kind friend to have in real life, only if we actually knew each other in person.

@Gaming_With_Chess - First person to help me with my sidebar. Even though this user made a mistake while editing the code just to change the color of some element, this is still significant enough for me to mention here.

@MythicalMastery - Earliest Co-Owner of my club, even before my club was re-named TheRateClimbers’ Friends.

Co-Owners of TheRateClimbers’ Friends Club (as long you are active, you can keep Co-Owner status and if I plan to be inactive for a long long time):

See this if you are confused about the pts: https://www.chess.com/announcements/view/co-owner-rankings

Key:

Co-Owners base pts = 2 pts for partnering clubs with me (size doesn’t matter)

Co-Owners club partnership pts = depends on your club size and the number of members joining my club from your club

Help with checking if the sidebar works = +10 pts for every error found (like a club button link doesn’t work).

One invite = +5 pts

Me being the only Co-Owner in your club of 100+ members = as many invites equal to half the current size of the club + extra pts if I like spending my time with you.

Being active and talking to me through DM and notes = a decent amount of points (give you points based on how I feel after the conversations etc.)

Hidden pts = The points I give you depending on my mood and your current relative ranking to other Co-Owners; basically everything else that is not listed as direct ways of getting points.

Introduction of a huge partnership club larger than the current largest partnership club (which will give me Super Admin) = automatic #1 Co-Owner with a lot of buffer points with #2 Co-Owner.

The number one Co-Owner will receive ownership of all my owned clubs when my time has come, which again wouldn’t come for a long time.

Also please note that these values are just temporary and don’t let these points define who you are; It’s just what I think of each Co-Owner’s relative overall contributions to my club and how much you talk to me (that’s all). So please don’t be offended by the point differences, since making all Co-Owner’s points equal would defeat the purpose of this ranking. Any Co-Owner is allowed to speak up and request for more points and I will either agree, period, or agree and request that you do something for my club (either helping me with invites, sidebar, monitor members, etc.). Fun Fact: I actually did something similar to this before (you can look at the oldest announcements and still see them; I called them Leadership Tokens) but prior to my club partnership era (and no one even cared because there were few members compared to now). I am hoping this would stimulate activity in a positive way.

You can own my TheRateClimbers’ Friends Club if…

You double (x2) the size of this club all by yourself in one day. Idk how anyone would do this, but yeah... if u actually can do it (current size 272, so if u were to do it then the club size would be 544), then I am giving ownership to you. So this is kind of a joke / serious or legit deal if u can actually meet the challenge's requirement of doubling the current club size within one day (24 hours) all by yourself (meaning that you can't get help from me, but you can ask for other people's help).

DM me the word “surprise” for a surprise.

Thank you for reading everything on my profile. 🙂
