Hi Guy
For quite a while I've been stuck at a rating of 850 to 900 ( this is 'Trained' rating on 'Rated'). Could someone please tell me if there's anything I can read or can do to improve my rating.
Thanks

I don't know what you are referring to. Normal ratings here are received after you play games here. You started two games but quit before they finished. Try again.

Maybe you are talking about the tactics puzzles. It looks like you have been doing a lot of those puzzles and have seen your rating stall.

It looks like you reply very rapidly. I urge you to take more time and if you come up with a move, check it over before you submit it.

I want to know if a 1 hour timed, live chess game can be played.  It doesn't seem so.

If you're talking about a live game then you can make it whatever time you want

As I said before, not much happens on weekends. I would give it another day or two. Believe it or not, it's not even 4am on a Monday in California (where chess.com is headquartered.)

You can use this form to send a question to member support-. https://support.chess.com/article/346-contact-us

They will get back to you in a day or two.

That is the time taken on those moves in minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds.

They might. There's probably nobody whose job it is to look at all the pictures and background images but if something is offensive, they will hear about it.

I am confused! I was 1 move away from mate when the computer called a draw and I thought it was my move. Why would this happen? It was frustrating to say the least. Are are previous games stored somewhere so I can look at the situation again?

Yes, everyone has an archive of their games. On the website, it's on the play menu.

You probably stalemated your opponent.

Edit: It looks like you haven't played any regular games. The games against the computer aren't stored.

I have started chess very recently. I have a confusion. I played 20+ rapid games but didn't see my name in leaderboard. Can you please tell me how to get my name in leaderboard?  Thanks in advance.

The board looks perfectly normal to me, which suggests that the issue is with your browser.

Yes... Your Movie Sucks by Roger Ebert. But this is a chess forum.
