I'm rated 1300 on chess.com and couldn't progress further (I dunno how to). What all shud I be doing to progress further? Openings? Puzzles? Pls help me out.

Feel like Hikaru (500 in rapid)

I have to keep cancelling. Later in the day another one (or 2) will pop up. I’m already playing him a daily game. I’ve cancelled probably 25 of these in the last week. What gives?!

I also still get notifications for random suggested games against new non-rated accounts even though I’m pretty sure I turned this off? Had to also turn off friend requests after getting 5-10 random new account requests every day. I’m just a random 1500 rated acct. This whole part of their platform seems super buggy and overboard and they need to reel it way back IMO

How is this solved? Can’t black’s rook j capture white’s rook?

I'm a beginner, I have a few games like this? How is this a draw? It pretty obvious opponent king is checked but game ended with a draw. Can someone explain?

Not an amazing brilliant but still good imo

Is it gonna happen in this lifetime?

I recently played against a new account, and I was confident that I would receive my points back. However, the user has been banned for abuse. Will he still be investigated for cheating in order to refund his victims?

I also drew against a cheater and lost a point. He's been banned, but I don't see my point back.

Hi everyone,

I’m curious if there would be interest in a paid chess app that maps out potential moves and highlights risky options during gameplay.

Would you consider paying for a tool like this? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!
