Clawed my weary way up to 1404 (twice) then got hit by like five bots in a row.
Its so annoying lol and detracts somewhat from the enjoyment of the game.
Just saying...
are you saying you faced cheaters?
mate i took a look at your games
they didn't cheat at all
maybe look for a better excuse
for example you could say you thought it was antichess, thats why you gave all the pieces away
I know when it's a prog or a bot.
I'm not stupid.
I'm just an average(very) player but I didn't say they were cheats.
I most specifically did not say that.
They were just just perfect moves perfectly played without fault or pause or mistake by lower rated but somehow astonishingly surprisingly flawless opponents.
Nothing suspicious there then.
And FYI I give away my pieces as fast as I can when I encounter such "players" and it's apparent I can't win cause I am neither a prog or a cheat and if I resign the lichess will temp ban me and if I abort lichess will ban me so I figure hey ho here we go again and I need to move on asap and hope they drag it out because there's that about one in four chance my next opponent will be ...er... fair.
Both fullsecondbrush and GiorgiadisM straight up blundered a queen and you just missed it both times. Don't let the rating make you think you've won before playing. It seems like you're letting it get to your head and then getting tilted after a bad stretch. Your game against putzi900 is 100% tilt.
@bibbityboppityboo First of all, attacking is easier than defending. This is why your opponents are more likely to play decent moves if you just play passive (like you did). Your opponents still made some possible game changing mistakes, like blundering their queen. If I am losing hard and I dont see a chance for winning the game by playing normal, I will start to play for tricks, which of course doesnt work often, but sometimes your opponent will overlook them.
Btw if you want to improve, watch some beginner videos of Saint Louis Chess Club on Youtube.
Yes, there are two games where opponents left their queen hanging, and you failed to snatch her up. Spend a few seconds before each move looking for free pieces that your opponent offers.
If you haven't heard, the new rules (since about 1500) allow a pawn to move two squares on its initial move. I saw one game where you only made one square pawn moves. That passivity allows the other guy to come up with lots of pressure.
I cannot tell when I'm playing a "bot." You can. How do you know?
If you believe any opponent(s) cheated please use
lichess.org/report , not the forum.
Looking at some of your games, your opponents just took advantage of your mistakes and blunders.
It is easy to play accurately when one is given such obvious opportunities. (Take a free piece? Sure!) It's nothing to be suspicious of.
tbh it's not their fault they just know how to play chess.
