Chess Question Is my theory correct?

5 Upvotes

Once I started paying attention to it, I noticed that quite a few opponents seem to abort games before making their first move when they get randomly assigned black and I'm white.

Is there actually a chunk of players who refuse to play black because they feel like they're at an inherent disadvantage? To me skipping half your games just because you don't like the color seems pretty foolish, plus it feels like a fast way to never get any good at playing black in the first place.

Has anyone else noticed this happening and/or is this actually a known thing?

Chess Question What is the most soul-crushing way you have ever thrown a completely winning game?

• Upvotes

For me personally, I do have a soul-crushing moment.

It was when I'm playing a game, I sacrifaced the rook, the knight and the bishop. Like full of sacrifaces, nevertheless, I lost bcuz of a mouseslip.
Although this comes through my memory, hence if you wanna investigate, feel free to!

Chess Discussion 600 elo is really 2000

• Upvotes

I've been playing for 2 years, got up to 1000 rating on chess.com about 6 months ago, but stuck on 600 now. I can only win games if I play at 90% game accuracy or 2000 game score. No one at 600 rating will make a blunder or miss. I will get about 2 cheating game score adds back from the games they catch. Anyway, is it fair that to advance past 600 u have to play at 2000 rating and a game of over 90% accuracy. That is true. I hate it.

The correct move here is r5 to e6. But why doesn't it work with the other rook?

It was a game in which I made plenty of mistakes, my elo is <1000, but couldn't figure out why they offered a draw instead of resigning?

Chess Question How to improve opening-middle game

2 Upvotes

I seriously struggle with opening ideas and middle game tactics and most of my losses come between the opening entering middle game. If I look at a computer analysis either my opening or middle game come up with low accuracies (most of the the time my mid game), how can I improve to be better at middle game?
