If you want peace and quiet, disable your "chat" and "messages" by default. Then it's only chess, and nobody can interact with you (except on the forums).

How about just ban the bstds? Why should I have to switch my chat off, so they can be allowed to abuse people, insult and troll them? F this liberal BS of appeasement.

personally im just tired of my opponents always having insane accuracy, i cant play a blitz game with under 75% or i lose, at 1400 this is insane. at my local club i play players rated 1500+ all the time, and when reviewing games with an engine, they always seem to be weaker than some random person online..

Online opponents are way way way stronger than any OTB opponent especially if it's blitz or bullet. The blitz pool is the strongest of all the chess pools 2300 blitz is like 2200 imo. The best way to overcome them, is to study constantly and eventually you will destroy them. You also need to focus on consistency of your play. 1400's are bad and so are 1700's they just seem good. If your playing awfully stop playing until your playing better. Playing badly reinforces bad chess habits. I would say I haven't done any classical time controls I'm certain otb classical players are super strong but they probably have tons of computer lines prepared, so I wouldn't really call that strength. Strength= amount of moves played with minimum book.

yeah no youre completely right, the thing i found weird though is the fact that this account of mine is brand new as you can probably tell, i was 1650 blitz and around 1750 rapid, i had a huge push after reading yusupov and opponents felt so easy, but with this new account i feel like im playing half and engine and half a person.

What is anyone going to talk about with strangers during a chess game that's so important?

"Hi"?

"A/S/L"?

"Nice move"?

You're not really going to miss anything important by having the chat off. But it sounds like you're already receiving a lot of aggravation by having your chat on ...

Has to work both ways, no? Or only you should be allowed to abuse? This must be the most boneheaded ... Oh wait.

More boohoo.

Some time ago I reached 2000 on rapid, which was my goal and I can't just use this anymore. I like to play chess, however this site is just pure monetization of ancient game. Everything is bad about this website:

1. Giant paywall

2. Lot of ads

3. Flooded with cheaters

4. Email spam

5. Broken timer

6. Laggy servers

7. Garbage community

I don't care about dislikes from chess com fanboys, who think their site is perfect.

Loser.

I don’t really understand why you had to come here and complain about problems that are (for the most part) easily preventable. If you want to quit Chess.com, then quit.

Another dramatic exit by someone no one cared about or knew was on the site anyhow.

This is all you people say, don't like being abused, trolled, turn chat off, that's your answer.

No. My answer was to grow a thicker skin. Hence,
