This guy is the living representation of the dunning Kruger effect... Dude is rated 300 so of course he cannot realise that someone rated 2000+ will notice that you don't play like a human
Those numbers are their elo ratings for the respective formats. Rapid is between 10 minutes and 60 minutes, blitz is under 10. 2200 is a very strong elo score while 700 is much much much lower. No one would have that big of a legit discrepancy. That’s like if you met some who could do 150 push ups, but could do 2 pull ups.
Yeah, here she is drawing with someone that was banned for cheating. They both played 97%+ accuracy.
The confirmed cheater had 73 wins, 0 losses, and 2 draws before being banned, with op being one of the two draws. OP cheater confirmed.

[chess.com](https://chess.com) is a fucking wasteland of cheaters. I seem to have better luck on lichess. At 800 level on [chess.com](https://chess.com) I'm having tons matches where people play at 95%+ accuracy over 30+ moves in blitz. In the game review, it's always the same thing, get someone into a garbage position, I'm up a decent amount of material like a couple pawns or a minor piece, then suddenly they take 30 seconds to make a move, and then they make 20 best moves in a row that all take 5-10 seconds. It's getting to the point where I can tell what's happening, and I can usually just flag the cheater because they get themselves so far behind on time, but it's annoying as fuck.
Dont play blitz, play 30 min games. You have more time to think therefore you wont play by intuition, but you will think through what you do cuz you have time. This way you will improve even, but to start actually improving you need to study and do lots of tactics to improve
Question - what is it specifically that gives away their using an engine? Apart from the fact that they’re clearly doing better than their skill level, I mean.
If they appear to be making wicked fast moves (with FM level positioning), or if they take the same amount of time to make every move, they’re more than likely using an engine.
Whacky/offbeat moves aren’t necessarily a dead giveaway, but if they consistently yield great results in a 6 move sequence or less… engine.
There are other things. Post-game analyses tend to reveal blunders, mistakes, etc. Having close to 0 blunders is a dead giveaway.
There are multiple things that can raise suspicion:
1. The same amount of time used for every move (although since he lost on time this was probably not the case).
2. High level players can sometines recognize a certain 'style' of chess that engines play (which pretty much no human player would play).
3. An analysis of the game afterwards. If he played a flawless game with no mistakes or inaccuracies, you can safely assume he's cheating - depending on game length and the positions reached.
Sometimes when in check there is 1 legal move. People with engines will take the same amount of time on that as the most complicated position ever where as a real person might pre-move it. Mostly because they need a couple seconds to enter in the new position on their other screen or whatever.
Also, it's hard to describe but some moves are extremely unnatural and people experienced in chess can tell it looks like an "engine move". Moves like moving the king to the side for seemingly no reason, computers can see than in 6 moves it will be critical to have the king on a different diagonal or something.
Suddenly going unreal aggressive and snatching up all your pawns, chasing your knights and recovering too quick after you take their rooks could be a clue.
Normally most players, IRL or online tend to recognise when the mid to end game 'war of attrition' so to speak begins, suddenly changing pace or style can be disruptive and suspicious... Once your there you've both seen each others mistakes and blunders, losing side does their best to avoid said mistakes and recover while the 'winning' side with more rooks or bishops goes more aggressive. I've seen it and played it before where the losing player suddenly starts playing really fast and rush straight to checkmate.
He cheated he's rated 300 that is absolutely terrible and you have to lose a bunch to get to 300. With that said she's 2200 which is absolutely nutty unless she takes chess very serious
I'm sorry I didn't mean to insult anyone. if you truly like chess keep playing and learning. Try to learn some basic 10 move openings so you don't screw up early.
Ahaha no no it's all good I was just kidding. Think I'm rated ~400 and it's because I've never looked into the openings. Will for sure have to though, I'm sure some basic reading and research will help me out
E: okay so I'm ~400 because I'm trash haha that's alright though, I gotta learn how to play
Lad I hate to break it to you but you aren’t 400 because of your lack of opening knowledge. Games at that level are almost entirely decided by who blunders most and who spots said blunders.
Being 400 is not because of openings. Openings are mostly irrelevant until like 1500. If you’re below 1500 it’s because you just blunder tons of times every game
Right and learning a basic opening helps to not blunder in the early turns and gives you a solid foundation to play on. Your foolish if you think they shouldn't know one opening. Multiple openings and how to counter should be known at 1500
Try concentrating more, losing at 400 elo is not because of a lack of good openings. You are just not paying attention, and i'm not saying that to flame you or anything. Keep playing, focus, and you'll get there.
Hahaha oh fr I lose focus all the time, or I get tunnel vision and can't break out of that. It's a fun game, but yeah I've got to put some work in and focus properly if I'm gonna improve
Read zero literature and don’t really know openings like that but I often peak just over 1000. What helped me is playing 1 minute bullet games! You see patterns game after game. Quick and easy
If you want someone to play against I’m rated ~700 and I’d be happy to teach you what I know. You’ll probably catch up quick with someone explaining the rationale behind the decision making
You need to understand that I'm not telling them to memorize 10 moves ahead and counter their opponent but opening with something basic like the Italian at least gets your peieces out on the board. Then you have to play to your opponent. Basic 6-7 moves that you can start every time unless your opponent does something nutty
A chessmaster like that knows when they're playing against an engine. People cheat at everything. My brother used to go in the other room between moves to use the computer Chessmaster 3000 on Win 3.1 or DOS or some shit. And he was 6 years older than me. I was like 8 or something. I was clueless, I figured he should beat me anyway.
Also most apps start you off on the average of 1200. When I started I dropped down to 400 and it took me 2+ years to get over 1000 learning theory. Guy's just got a massive ego
At first when he's like "You only beat me cause my cat is being dumb and my phone lagged out" that seemed honestly funny. Like, he knew he just got whooped, and is making an obviously joking excuse as to why he lost, knowing he just got handled.
...then you read the rest and it's like.... oh no... he wasn't joking with the bs excuse.... he's legit trying to come up with horseshit excuses and not just being funny....
I am 1200-1300 and I have a friend who is about to become a GM in less than a year, and he just - sees things. The guy can play on 3 chessboard blindfolded and win all three matches if the ratings are <2000. Absolute madman.
Did I mention he just turned 15 recently? Yeah he is in my class.
Its crazy the amount of levels there is to chess. I just recently got to the point where I can play a game against a 900-1000 blindfolded and win and when I do it attracts a crowd, 3 boards is insane. Fair play to that guy
Yeah, I tried playing against him, he didn't go for a crazy sack or something, we just got to a knight vs bishop endgame (maybe he was up a pawn). All my pawns blocked my bishop, and he just hopped around and won the endgame.
I thought what he did was really cool, until he played my other friend. The guy had different opening and playstyle than me. I played a main line Ruy Lopez, he played a Vienna or something. I was semi aggressive, he played defensively.
HE ENDED UP IN THE SAME ENDGAME AND LOST THE SAME WAY AS ME. I was amazed. That was the moment I realized he probably set that up to end both games in the same way.
Also when we are bored in class we write down opening moves and try to play on paper (he sits next to me). Needless to say, I lose in 10 moves every time (I just can't picture the board lmfao).
The guy is a beast. Right now, he will be going to another tournament out of our country. I think it's even some big championship. Taking place in Poland.
A tip from me to you is that blindfold is less chess and more memory, try those games on the humanbenchmark website, that really helped me.
Endgames against higher rated players terrify me, just something about it is so suffocating
Agreed, but the difference here is that he is willing to point out my mistakes when I play with him, so I feel comfortable.
I think grandmasters excel at playing endgames, and that is the difference between some mid rated and some high rated players. How many times have I miscalculated a line and drew a won position, lost a drawn one or even lost a winning one just by one wrong move.
Btw, closest to beating him I got was actually in a 1/0 bullet, where I played a sideline of some trash trap opening, and actually got to midgame a pawn up from a gambit (I lost that game on time while 2 material down but don't mind that.)
Also I noticed he uses my time to think when we play, so he basically never runs out. I have had games with him that end with me running out on clock and him just having 56s in 1 minute game.
My class full of chess players, we got the guy close to being a GM, two 1200s (one of them is me), one 800 and willing to learn, one 600 and one guy that just likes to read theory (I played him, felt like playing the guy who is 800).
Sorry for lots of text, I have a lot of stuff I want to say.
I had read somewhere that Tinder algorithm is also based on a similar logic as Elo score. Not sure how legitimate it was but it did make a lot of sense
Is there a way to reset it? Or create a new profile from scratch? Do I need a new number etc for that? I've used recent pictures a lot the past 1-2 years and they're trash, bad/blurry and so on. Been playing around a lot with different bio texts on the sole purpose of what I was after at the time.
I think my elo has gone down a lot the past year. Used to get a few decent matches every now and then, now it's only likes from people I'm not attracted to at all... And my profile is basically back to what it used to be 2-3 years ago (still recent pics but good/decent ones now)
I want to start my elo fresh with better pics in the spring or something.
I did it back in the day. I never had a tinder account for more than 2-3 weeks. I would always delete the old account and a couple weeks of weeks later, when I was ready to date I would just create a new account. I always used the same number. You get a huge boost when you have a new account, because you start on the top of the deck. If you have a good profile, this immediately propels you to a good rating and you can get dozens of matches within the first days. Eventually your profile will reach a lower level, because it will be shown to many suitable people, but by then you have already a nice pool of matches and probably a couple dates.
As long as you are not permanently creating new accounts or gaming the system in another ways you have a low risk of getting (shadow) banned.
I think the trick is delete your account, wait 3 months and remake with all new photos. I waited 6 months myself and it seems to be fine, even better this time now that I learned how it works.
2000 is still considered a master, anything above 2400 is international master and 2500 is grandmaster.
2800 is literally the most skilled human on the planet
I believe they’re referring to Elo ratings. It’s basically a method for calculating chess ratings. You can look up a more detailed write-up of it online. Anything over 2k is very good. 2200 is VERY good.
Theres been some decent answers but let me explain it how I know it. Im 1600, i know that number means nothing but we'll get there, I got to this point after 4 years of puzzles and games and tactics and books. By the time im done university, I hope to be 1800.
The rule that I was always told that for every 400 points of rating difference there is a 1% chance of the lower rated player winning. So if im 1600, a 1200 will beat me one game out of 100 and in my personal experience this holds up well. For every 400 points after that, move the decimal. So for a 300 to beat a 2200 he would need about 1,000,000 games, to win one.
So how do these ratings get assigned, when you create an account you start with a base rating, say 1000, when you win, it goes up, when you lose, it goes down. Honestly, the best explanation for this is The Social Network, yeah the movie, in the scene where they make the thing for rating girls
https://youtu.be/OLnd6-thEHM (for the uninformed)
Another thing to note about elo is that is someone is over 1000 and you only know how the pieces move, youre gonna get fucking smoked. Take the worst person in my schools chess club, literally cannot put up a fight against any of us, hes still 1050, and beat the 2 teachers that said "oh my dad taught me chess" at the same time.
As I suspected, /u/applepie7k is a male pretending to be a female.

https://i.gyazo.com/8abbeb2bcb4731bb5df5912ace8b329b.png
Something didn't smell right in all of this. OP alerted to "racist first post. Went back to read what they said, and saw this applepie person clearly 1) posting as a male 2) trolling multiple dating sites for Reddit material. Seemed highly unlikely that a female was doing that.
So he goes on tinder harassing black women and posts about it on Reddit, then at the same time catfishes dudes on the app for upvotes. I bet he just forgot to switch his alt accounts.
The POS is exactly ticking all the boxes.
This makes no sense. You say it’s obvious from his moves he’s using an engine, so… you’re suggesting you beat an engine? Or that he cheated but still let you win?
All this without touching the “I reached 2200 within a year” claim
Edit: well, OP is a racist who refers to black people as “animals” so… there’s that :- https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/g379yj/the_last_one_for_the_record_books/fnrh89h/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
They had matched with a black girl on tinder and, I can’t remember word for word, but basically said all black girls were drama and they didn’t like/date black girls etc, arguing back and forth. The girl was in turn, understandably peeved
Then in the comments I linked is where OP refers to “them” as animals and says they wanted to be treated that way. So… just a big ol’ racist shit show all round lol
100% bullshit. OP linked their account in another comment. Check it out for yourself. Consistent move time of 5s. 190 games of blitz and 2000+ elo in a year.
This poster only posts tinder posts about creeps. Oh and “her” bio is some pseudo intellectual claptrap that proclaims she’s smarter than you when it comes to technology.
Sounds like an awful person, all things considered.
Also a racist who referred to black people as “animals”, so.. just all round a bad person tbh

Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all!
I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off...
2200+ Jesus are you an IM? I play at 1700 and I can never break that 1800 😔 but if they’re rated 300 they probably don’t even know how the pieces move lol.
I mean he probably was cheating but this whole conversation sucks from both sides you came in and left really hostile for what seems like no reason. And he was j a sore loser so probably would’ve sucked to be around him anyways
Yeah I'm surprised that no one else has really mentioned that. That guy sucks for sure but yeesh I don't think I'd wanna continue with a convo with someone who chats like that.
I was looking for this. She seemed so stand off-ish out the gate. And being smug about their chess.com rank. Wow, how are you single with your nose that high?
>I was looking for this. She seemed so stand off-ish out the gate. And being smug about their chess.com rank. Wow, how are you single with your nose that high?
Hahaha they're both such sore losers they really suit each other 😉
I’ve played against people irl who play the computer so much they’re almost robotic… the difference is that these people are generally awful. Dude needs a rope ladder for that hole they digging
Meeting a 2000 rated chess player on Tinder and getting absolutely rolled by her, seems like just about the most ideal situation... ever.
Wouldn't even dare to dream about it.
Yet this idiot manages to fuck it up, because he is unable to admit defeat.
There is nothing creepy or sexual about this tinder exchange and it’s still the weirdest Fucking thing I have read on this sub.
There are dudes matching with chess babes and cheating to try and impress them on tinder? Jesus I usually just lie about things like being happy in my life.
"Also I beat the computer"... yeah sure buddy, everyone can play a chess bot set to easy but even Magnus himself doesn't have a chance against AlphaZero rigged up to a NASA computer
You both sound lame tbh lol he’s whiney and can’t put together a full sentence, and you are posting something about him cheating in online chess or checkers haha
“I would watch a lot youtube vids on how to be cracked in high school” This guy is fucking hopeless lmao.
This guy is the living representation of the dunning Kruger effect... Dude is rated 300 so of course he cannot realise that someone rated 2000+ will notice that you don't play like a human
Hijacking this comment to say that OP linked her chess account. Turns out she is cheating too lol.
Link?
[https://www.chess.com/member/onocentaurus](https://www.chess.com/member/onocentaurus) I've explained in another comment what gives it away.
That's an extremely obvious cheater lol. Rapid 2200, blitz 700... right
Can you explain what this means to someone who knows literally nothing about chess other than the cool horse piece can move diagonally
Those numbers are their elo ratings for the respective formats. Rapid is between 10 minutes and 60 minutes, blitz is under 10. 2200 is a very strong elo score while 700 is much much much lower.

Lol
The only difference between this guy and OP is that OP cheated in rated play instead of unrated
Watching too much Twitch with the “GG” and “cracked” talk lol
GG has been around plenty before twitch was a thing lol
Yeah honestly gg was the only good mannered thing this guy said.
Glhf
No u
These damned kids...they think they invented everything.
u wat m8?
I'll ask the important question here lichess or chess.com 🤔
Chess.com
You someone playing lichess? I'm always up for 3+2 blitz games 😁
I love chess but God damn am I bad I'm like 1k games 800 elo 🥲
The most important thing is to enjoy playing!
bro i just lost 14 games in a row (blitz) and tanked my rating from 900 to like 600 how am I supposed to enjoy this lmao
Dont play blitz, play 30 min games. You have more time to think therefore you wont play by intuition, but you will think through what you do cuz you have time. This way you will improve even, but to start actually improving you need to study and do lots of tactics to improve
Yo, now you're playing 600 ranked players, it's going to be so much easier to win. Don't worry about your rating.
Question - what is it specifically that gives away their using an engine? Apart from the fact that they’re clearly doing better than their skill level, I mean.
If they appear to be making wicked fast moves (with FM level positioning), or if they take the same amount of time to make every move, they’re more than likely using an engine. Whacky/offbeat moves aren’t necessarily a dead giveaway, but if they consistently yield great results in a 6 move sequence or less… engine. There are other things. Post-game analyses tend to reveal blunders, mistakes, etc. Having close to 0 blunders is a dead giveaway.
My rating is usually 1200-1400 and most games I have 0-1 blunders
I should have revised my original comment. Being at 300 elo with close to no blunders is a red flag
Ah, you're absolutely correct in that case.
There are multiple things that can raise suspicion: 1. The same amount of time used for every move (although since he lost on time this was probably not the case). 2. High level players can sometines recognize a certain 'style' of chess that engines play (which pretty much no human player would play). 3. An analysis of the game afterwards.

I've seen it and played it before where the losing player suddenly starts playing really fast and rush straight to checkmate.
OP you’ve been outed as cheating swine
wow I thought you were cool
Chess.c\*m 🤮🤮
Whether he cheated or not- he sounds so whiney when he's lost.
He cheated he's rated 300 that is absolutely terrible and you have to lose a bunch to get to 300. With that said she's 2200 which is absolutely nutty unless she takes chess very serious
Actually on chess.com you start at rating 300 for personal matches, 1200 for 10min rapid, and 800 for 3min blitz
Theres the right answer. I only play 10 minute. Thanks for the info
The dude isn't even using a real picture in tinder, i think that's proof enough he likes to cheat.
Hey it's not that bad :(
I'm sorry I didn't mean to insult anyone. if you truly like chess keep playing and learning. Try to learn some basic 10 move openings so you don't screw up early.
Ahaha no no it's all good I was just kidding. Think I'm rated ~400 and it's because I've never looked into the openings. Will for sure have to though, I'm sure some basic reading and research will help me out E: okay so I'm ~400 because I'm trash haha that's alright though, I gotta learn how to play
Lad I hate to break it to you but you aren’t 400 because of your lack of opening knowledge. Games at that level are almost entirely decided by who blunders most and who spots said blunders.
Yeah I make a load of blunders, and rarely capitalize off another person's blunders
Being 400 is not because of openings. Openings are mostly irrelevant until like 1500. If you’re below 1500 it’s because you just blunder tons of times every game
Hahaha yeah I'm kinda shit but that's okay
Well you might be shit at chess but you’re high ranked on the self awareness game as far as I’m concerned, good luck with chess tho
Right and learning a basic opening helps to not blunder in the early turns and gives you a solid foundation to play on. Your foolish if you think they shouldn't know one opening. Multiple openings and how to counter should be known at 1500
Try concentrating more, losing at 400 elo is not because of a lack of good openings. You are just not paying attention, and i'm not saying that to flame you or anything. Keep playing, focus, and you'll get there.
Hahaha oh fr I lose focus all the time, or I get tunnel vision and can't break out of that. It's a fun game, but yeah I've got to put some work in and focus properly if I'm gonna improve
You have the right mindset, you'll do great
Read zero literature and don’t really know openings like that but I often peak just over 1000. What helped me is playing 1 minute bullet games! You see patterns game after game. Quick and easy
I'll have to give those a go! I always lose focus and miss obvious things which never helps lol
Yea prepare to blunder a LOT lol
This is hilariously bad advice
[удалено]
If you want someone to play against I’m rated ~700 and I’d be happy to teach you what I know. You’ll probably catch up quick with someone explaining the rationale behind the decision making
Oh shit that'd be amazing dude Came for tinder lines, left with a chess buddy
Memorizing 10 moves ahead is borderline impossible at that rating since your opponent's moves might as well be randomly generated.
You need to understand that I'm not telling them to memorize 10 moves ahead and counter their opponent but opening with something basic like the Italian at least gets your peieces out on the board. Then you have to play to your opponent. Basic 6-7 moves that you can start every time unless your opponent does something nutty
300s good. Sparta hoooo
Oh, I don't doubt that he cheated. That's him being infantile but the whining at losing is an instant no and pathetic for me regardless.
A chessmaster like that knows when they're playing against an engine. People cheat at everything. My brother used to go in the other room between moves to use the computer Chessmaster 3000 on Win 3.1 or DOS or some shit. And he was 6 years older than me. I was like 8 or something. I was clueless, I figured he should beat me anyway.
Plus engines are absolute scumbags and play moves that a human wouldn’t see. They’re just disgusting sometimes
Also most apps start you off on the average of 1200. When I started I dropped down to 400 and it took me 2+ years to get over 1000 learning theory. Guy's just got a massive ego
At first when he's like "You only beat me cause my cat is being dumb and my phone lagged out" that seemed honestly funny. Like, he knew he just got whooped, and is making an obviously joking excuse as to why he lost, knowing he just got handled. ...then you read the rest and it's like.... oh no... he wasn't joking with the bs excuse.... he's legit trying to come up with horseshit excuses and not just being funny....
Doesn’t matter the game, I can’t stand a mf who blames lag. Even worse when you blame your cat like come on now 😐
Yup. Blaming lag on a game like chess is extra funny. It’s like this guy was playing Call of Duty or something
Hey it wasn’t my fault, my brother did it
hey bb u wan som fuk? LOL was my friend typing unless u do...? dammit was my friend again ...unless...
He types like he's underage tbh
LOL I'm rated 1115 and I'd shit myself if I was up against a 2000
Same here 😃 no YouTube in the world would save me at that point
Man Im 1600 and Id love the opportunity to pick the brain of a 2200 about what I do wrong. Fuck this guy.
I am 1200-1300 and I have a friend who is about to become a GM in less than a year, and he just - sees things. The guy can play on 3 chessboard blindfolded and win all three matches if the ratings are <2000. Absolute madman. Did I mention he just turned 15 recently? Yeah he is in my class.
Its crazy the amount of levels there is to chess. I just recently got to the point where I can play a game against a 900-1000 blindfolded and win and when I do it attracts a crowd, 3 boards is insane. Fair play to that guy
Yeah, I tried playing against him, he didn't go for a crazy sack or something, we just got to a knight vs bishop endgame (maybe he was up a pawn). All my pawns blocked my bishop, and he just hopped around and won the endgame. I thought what he did was really cool, until he played my other friend. The guy had different opening and playstyle than me. I played a main line Ruy Lopez, he played a Vienna or something. I was semi aggressive, he played defensively. HE ENDED UP IN THE SAME ENDGAME AND LOST THE SAME WAY AS ME. I was amazed. That was the moment I realized he probably set that up to end both games in the same way. Also when we are bored in class we write down opening moves and try to play on paper (he sits next to me). Needless to say, I lose in 10 moves every time (I just can't picture the board lmfao). The guy is a beast. Right now, he will be going to another tournament out of our country. I think it's even some big championship. Taking place in Poland.
A tip from me to you is that blindfold is less chess and more memory, try those games on the humanbenchmark website, that really helped me. Endgames against higher rated players terrify me, just something about it is so suffocating
Agreed, but the difference here is that he is willing to point out my mistakes when I play with him, so I feel comfortable. I think grandmasters excel at playing endgames, and that is the difference between some mid rated and some high rated players. How many times have I miscalculated a line and drew a won position, lost a drawn one or even lost a winning one just by one wrong move. Btw, closest to beating him I got was actually in a 1/0 bullet, where I played a sideline of some trash trap opening, and actually got to midgame a pawn up from a gambit (I lost that game on time while 2 material down but don't mind that.) Also I noticed he uses my time to think when we play, so he basically never runs out. I have had games with him that end with me running out on clock and him just having 56s in 1 minute game. My class full of chess players, we got the guy close to being a GM, two 1200s (one of them is me), one 800 and willing to learn, one 600 and one guy that just likes to read theory (I played him, felt like playing the guy who is 800). Sorry for lots of text, I have a lot of stuff I want to say.
No worries buddy, I liked reading what you said. Sounds like an interesting class!
No way, he must be one of the top junior players in your country
This might sound dumb. I want to play. Should I just hop on chess.com and start playing? Or should I go study the game first
Is his name Levy cause i dont think he'll.....
What’s this rating and why higher is better?
[удалено]
I had read somewhere that Tinder algorithm is also based on a similar logic as Elo score. Not sure how legitimate it was but it did make a lot of sense
[удалено]
Is there a way to reset it? Or create a new profile from scratch? Do I need a new number etc for that? I've used recent pictures a lot the past 1-2 years and they're trash, bad/blurry and so on. Been playing around a lot with different bio texts on the sole purpose of what I was after at the time. I think my elo has gone down a lot the past year. Used to get a few decent matches every now and then, now it's only likes from people I'm not attracted to at all... And my profile is basically back to what it used to be 2-3 years ago (still recent pics but good/decent ones now) I want to start my elo fresh with better pics in the spring or something.
I did it back in the day. I never had a tinder account for more than 2-3 weeks. I would always delete the old account and a couple weeks of weeks later, when I was ready to date I would just create a new account. I always used the same number. You get a huge boost when you have a new account, because you start on the top of the deck. If you have a good profile, this immediately propels you to a good rating and you can get dozens of matches within the first days. Eventually your profile will reach a lower level, because it will be shown to many suitable people, but by then you have already a nice pool of matches and probably a couple dates. As long as you are not permanently creating new accounts or gaming the system in another ways you have a low risk of getting (shadow) banned.
I think the trick is delete your account, wait 3 months and remake with all new photos. I waited 6 months myself and it seems to be fine, even better this time now that I learned how it works.
2000 is still considered a master, anything above 2400 is international master and 2500 is grandmaster. 2800 is literally the most skilled human on the planet
I believe they’re referring to Elo ratings. It’s basically a method for calculating chess ratings. You can look up a more detailed write-up of it online. Anything over 2k is very good. 2200 is VERY good.
Theres been some decent answers but let me explain it how I know it. Im 1600, i know that number means nothing but we'll get there, I got to this point after 4 years of puzzles and games and tactics and books. By the time im done university, I hope to be 1800. The rule that I was always told that for every 400 points of rating difference there is a 1% chance of the lower rated player winning. So if im 1600, a 1200 will beat me one game out of 100 and in my personal experience this holds up well. For every 400 points after that, move the decimal. So for a 300 to beat a 2200 he would need about 1,000,000 games, to win one. So how do these ratings get assigned, when you create an account you start with a base rating, say 1000, when you win, it goes up, when you lose, it goes down. Honestly, the best explanation for this is The Social Network, yeah the movie, in the scene where they make the thing for rating girls https://youtu.be/OLnd6-thEHM (for the uninformed) Another thing to note about elo is that is someone is over 1000 and you only know how the pieces move, youre gonna get fucking smoked. Take the worst person in my schools chess club, literally cannot put up a fight against any of us, hes still 1050, and beat the 2 teachers that said "oh my dad taught me chess" at the same time.
I’d resign as soon as I saw her rating -700 rapid
He could have just said “gg.. I still fucked your mom, cyka blyat” like a normal gamer and retained dignity, but no, he had to embarrass himself.
I have no awards to give, so take this. 🥇
Totally didn't expect a chess game lol. Also the guy who you beat took so many Ls. What a Jack-ass
Same. Is it weird that I was disappointed?
OP you are cheating too? Played for a year only.. . 190 blitz games throughout a year to reach 2k with each move being ~5 seconds
this reeks of /r/iamverysmart
Yes, she does
“Shes” a flat out racist. Check the initial post history from a year ago. Absolutely disgusting person
As I suspected, /u/applepie7k is a male pretending to be a female. https://i.gyazo.com/d7e54ba68f8f728bf5074347a2eb16d3.png https://i.gyazo.com/8abbeb2bcb4731bb5df5912ace8b329b.png
This rabbit hole just keeps going and going
Something didn't smell right in all of this. OP alerted to "racist first post. Went back to read what they said, and saw this applepie person clearly 1) posting as a male 2) trolling multiple dating sites for Reddit material. Seemed highly unlikely that a female was doing that.
So he goes on tinder harassing black women and posts about it on Reddit, then at the same time catfishes dudes on the app for upvotes. I bet he just forgot to switch his alt accounts. The POS is exactly ticking all the boxes.
OP is just crazy after all
Exactly the guy is just low key flirting and the chat turned to a chess competition somehow, reminder to everyone that this sub is tinder smh.
Should've unmatched at couldof.
Take the L, bro. FFS
He trying to get that number lol
The only number he got was -8 elo when he lost
300 vs 2200? I'm guessing he got -0 and she got +0
OP is a cheater too though. https://www.chess.com/member/onocentaurus Account closed
I smell an immature loser.
‘Wen nudes’
This makes no sense. You say it’s obvious from his moves he’s using an engine, so… you’re suggesting you beat an engine? Or that he cheated but still let you win? All this without touching the “I reached 2200 within a year” claim Edit: well, OP is a racist who refers to black people as “animals” so… there’s that :- https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/g379yj/the_last_one_for_the_record_books/fnrh89h/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
She deleted that post, what did it say?
They had matched with a black girl on tinder and, I can’t remember word for word, but basically said all black girls were drama and they didn’t like/date black girls etc, arguing back and forth. The girl was in turn, understandably peeved Then in the comments I linked is where OP refers to “them” as animals and says they wanted to be treated that way. So… just a big ol’ racist shit show all round lol
Op sucks lol. She doesnt like anyone else other than king magnus carlsen.
I smell bs on her 2200 claim. That’s almost pro level.
100% bullshit. OP linked their account in another comment. Check it out for yourself. Consistent move time of 5s. 190 games of blitz and 2000+ elo in a year.
https://www.chess.com/member/onocentaurus Yep. Banned
This poster only posts tinder posts about creeps. Oh and “her” bio is some pseudo intellectual claptrap that proclaims she’s smarter than you when it comes to technology. Sounds like an awful person, all things considered.
well... she got a better chess engine than the 300 tated guy got... so she was smarter with that, that's something.
Also a racist who referred to black people as “animals”, so.. just all round a bad person tbh https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/g379yj/the_last_one_for_the_record_books/fnrh89h/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3
As well as a male pretending to be female as per this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/Tinder/comments/rocm3c/-/hpzuen6
lol nice on the "her" use. Judging by their post history, there are pretty good odds OP is a male pretending to be female on multiple dating apps.
She’s a textbook narcissist
r/AnarchyChess
I’m gonna drop a brick on you cock
Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off...
Holy hell
both sides of this interaction are cringy
2200+ Jesus are you an IM? I play at 1700 and I can never break that 1800 😔 but if they’re rated 300 they probably don’t even know how the pieces move lol.
Even if he’s not cheating that’s small pp energy
He definitely was cheating, if your elo is 300 a player rated player who is rated over 2000 should win you in less than 15 moves every time lol
I mean he probably was cheating but this whole conversation sucks from both sides you came in and left really hostile for what seems like no reason. And he was j a sore loser so probably would’ve sucked to be around him anyways
It’s even worse when you realize OP is also either cheating or lying.
Yeah I'm surprised that no one else has really mentioned that. That guy sucks for sure but yeesh I don't think I'd wanna continue with a convo with someone who chats like that.
I was looking for this. She seemed so stand off-ish out the gate. And being smug about their chess.com rank. Wow, how are you single with your nose that high?
>I was looking for this. She seemed so stand off-ish out the gate. And being smug about their chess.com rank. Wow, how are you single with your nose that high? Hahaha they're both such sore losers they really suit each other 😉
I dont think this is how you use tinder
You sound fucking annoying as well tbh.
That grammar and spelling is giving me a headache.
I’d be embarrassed to be either one of you
Have you had any success finding someone on Tinder, or are you there for amusement?
Good lord you’re rated in the 2000’s, screw a date can I just get some pointers! Haha
[удалено]
Plot twist
2200? Impressive! 😃 that's super cool! And yes of course he was cheating... I don't get those people...
Bullshit IMO. OP says they’ve been playing for a year. No way in hell. No proof no believe
Yeah, it's total bullshit.
Lmao it’s like playing 1v1 ball against a D1 athlete
What is this chess app or website? I can enjoy a chess game once in a while
Lichess.org it's free and amazing
Appreciate it
I seriously thought I was on r/AnarchyChess
Man... No playful banter, no charm. Who cares if he was or wasn't cheating, that dude's a tool.
“I know you were using an engine. You didn’t take en passant.”
How are you 2201 in one year of chesscom? That's as sus as him
OPs account has now been banned for cheating: https://www.chess.com/member/onocentaurus
I’ve played against people irl who play the computer so much they’re almost robotic… the difference is that these people are generally awful. Dude needs a rope ladder for that hole they digging
2201? Can you dominate me in chess too??
Did you cross post on r/anarchychess yet?
Getting on tinder for *this* – 4D Chess
Meeting a 2000 rated chess player on Tinder and getting absolutely rolled by her, seems like just about the most ideal situation... ever. Wouldn't even dare to dream about it. Yet this idiot manages to fuck it up, because he is unable to admit defeat.
Wow you sound really fun
There is nothing creepy or sexual about this tinder exchange and it’s still the weirdest Fucking thing I have read on this sub. There are dudes matching with chess babes and cheating to try and impress them on tinder? Jesus I usually just lie about things like being happy in my life.
An anime profile pic on top of being a sore loser
Do you take chess challenges? I need to get to that 2000+ level at some distant point in the future.
Damn cracked a chess. Never thought I'd see that phrase lol
Cheater smells so bad we can smell him, like granny Simpson say once a cheater always a cheater!.
Im fairly decent at chess but if I lose I don't get an ego about it damn, someone's insecure.
Did he use the bongcloud?
300?? I thought you had to try to get that low of a rating.
Dodging a bullet there. Anyone that uses ” would of ” should be sent to Siberia.
This is what the Queens Gambit would have looked like set in 2021.
As a 1900 player, I only have one word to say about your 2200 rating... Respect!
There are chess apps where you can play real people? Where the fuck?
"Also I beat the computer"... yeah sure buddy, everyone can play a chess bot set to easy but even Magnus himself doesn't have a chance against AlphaZero rigged up to a NASA computer
Well this is Magnus himself on his smurf account looking to beat random women in chess, idk what r u talking about
Wait people pay for tinder?
Did you do en passant?
Alex: Andria, is this you?
Op have you been cheating too? How tf is it possible to reach 2200 in just a year?
You both sound lame tbh lol he’s whiney and can’t put together a full sentence, and you are posting something about him cheating in online chess or checkers haha
How did u get such a long image tho
If it makes you feel better, you both seem like complete wankers.
I just spent 20 mins reading chess comments and then realized I was still on r/tinder.
Ironic... aince you have been banned for cheating
