It's getting harder and harder to believe that you are not trolling.

iam a old guy and no time left or at least not much time left for trolling what ever that is ?? i just play very bad chess and can't seem to get a hold of a winning formula to move up and out of the basement so be assured iam no troll what ever they do or why they do it is beyond me

The winning formula at the 100-200 level is obvious. Don't play random moves. Try to think. Try to notice when your queen is attacked.

Here is another example:

accusing a beginner player of trolling just because he hung some pieces?

Magipi, yes he is trolling, please follow this motto I made up:

RIG-Report,Ignore,Get others to do the same

Just ignore him. You are wasting your time arguing with him.

What are you talking about? It's a senior guy trying to learn chess and documenting it here.

it ok------ slam me all you want -----i have tough skin even for a old guy taking massive amounts of blood thinners and other drugs --

i just don't really know what a troll is some Bose to be - thinking its a bad thing right ? oh well just to his own thoughts

tonight played better or just got lucky i guess more wins than losses first time in a while so out of the basement anyways tired slower opening and played a little slower when i thought i was beaten i waited and looked for an out for one min then if none i resigned but not before so that helped i think will try a few tonight before meds kick in see what happens

I doubt it, he is spent too much time for this to be just a troll

Sometime trollers are persistent and consistent.

1600s on this site still bullying low rated players?

Yep, as long as they keep trolling, yes.

Personally, I would recommend playing longer time controls and really thinking about what you will play, what that move does, what will the opponent play and does my opponent have any threats. If you could, I would recommend buying a chess book, preferably one of Jeremy Silman's (I love his work!) but any book will do. Also you should learn a few good openings, to get started. Remember, if you cannot access a chess book, you can always use free resources online and get help from others!

give the guy a chance, hes just trying to get better at chess

wed morning things went a little better i think -- or just maybe i played alot of really bad players kind of a toss up on that one but i got to 150 -- first time in months that high -- so will con't on with this plan to see how far i can go before a streak of losses in a row

look at your opponents last move. is it attacking one of your hanging pieces? move it. did your opponent hang a piece? chomp on it.

Finally some good advice

Yeah, like Hanging said, blunder check more making a move.
