Chess.com is DEFINITELY Lying - Manipulating Matchups and inflating their Streamer's Ratings 

it's a character but let's start veeeeery basic - all the chesscom speedruns have 100% of "random" matchups against diamond members. I get 10%. Do you agree or disagree that this is not possible if the matchups are random? Because I think only a very stupid person would believe that

no this guy is actually schizophrenic and extremely egotistical

I beat a 2000 uscf rated opponent otb and the haters revealed their end game- they didn’t even know if I was a strong player or not and definitely don’t know what a satirist is. I am too egotistical though

you can click on my channel and watch my lichess series where i discuss openings at the 2000 rating range, it's cool that not one single person has chosen to do that!

edit: you're absolutely correct but I don't know how to do it in a way that anybody will pay attention to

just autistic

Every diamond member plays 60% of their games against other diamond member players but me - 10%. I stopped getting ELO refunds 9 months ago, and on top of that, it says "you cannot accept challenges from titled players" even if they accept. My rating (2000 on lichess) though every 16 year old who needs an engine to play more than 3 moves, is obsessed with, that's not what the video is about but to answer - 2 years of results versus players on lichess and chesscom. It's in the video series, I win 50% against players up to 1800 chesscom / 2000 lichess, then lose 2 / 3 after that and it's very consistent long term but this isn't about my rating, it's about diamond memberships and manipulation of matchups

@@chesswithjokes There might be a system where people who play with high CAPS score get matched against people with similar CAPS score in their following games. I also get elo refunds and I've never bought the diamond membership. I also have never spent money on chess and I have seen a consistent improvement in playing strength, as back up by my elo gain. I personally don't think the match ups are rigged, but there might be some sort of match making system which just so happens to match your against better players when you win, because you usually have higher CAPS in wins.

@@chesswithjokes maybe your opponents did not cheat agains you, but did later on thus resulting in there being no Elo refund. If you think that the system is somehow rigged, I respect your rights to express that opinion. I have personally experienced similar things a long time ago in what we call "Elo hell", which is around 600-800 Elo.

this is a sober take and i had never had a paid account until this year either. I believe there's a player trust theory that puts people with suspicious moves for their ratings on a watch list and restricted player pool, but I haven't thought too much about it. My HUGE problem with it is that - because their streamers get 100% of matchups against premium members, it's not possible for that to be "random." I am a content creator, and chesscom streamers aren't allowed to raid lichess streamers, they get inflated matchups, and most chess viewers watch players with a high rating assuming it's accurate. I find this practice to be criminal and there should be an antitrust suit brought against chesscom for their secretive, manipulative, and abusive practices that have involved the extortion of botez, eric hansen, has eliminated competition, violated every form of acceptable business practice and destroyed all small chess content creators. They're unironically evil @@Bismarck-S

​@@chesswithjokeswait I don't understand what is the problem with diamond members getting matched with other diamond members. Aren't diamond members less likely to cheat, so only being pooled with them could be an incentive to buy diamond?

or i can go back to playing on lichess where my rating is 1700 blitz / 2000 rapid and get it to where I think it should be (1800). I got back into chess 5 years ago and at this point I can beat international masters, i have videos about it. I'm trying to be funny in this video and that's the ONLY reason people think I suck. "He talks stupid." This rating stuff is ridiculous

so hypothetically, what would you do if you broke 1200, broke 1500, and rose from 1200 to 1900 on lichess at the same time - then still fell back to 1200 on chesscom and lose half of your games to 1200s? All while maintaining or gaining rating on lichess? All while winning half of your games taken as challenges against 1700-1900 ELO players on chesscom? What would you do? Because that's my story and it shouldn't be possible

​@@chesswithjokes There might be a lot of psychology involved. Sometimes you have great wins, but other times you seem to get really big loosing streaks. One of the important things for me when I am having a loosing streak have been to analyze my games and see where I have been going wrong. For me it was also much easier to focus on Lichess when I could play chess and not feel sad about all the rating loss and having the feeling that my rating should be much higher. When playing chess, especially faster time controls, one must focus on playing the game; looking for tactics (checks captures atttacks and then piece improvement).One thing I noted was that you lost a game due to time preassure. The thing is that you can have the playing strength of a 1500, 1600 or 1700 rated player in blitz, but much weaker time management. Managing time is a huge part of all games with no increment. As for my own experience (Note that it might be different since I play mostly rapid) I sometimes feel stressed like "I have to win". In those situations I might eighter blunder (Rare nowadays, since I know a few tricks to avoid it) or just thinking that I need to simplify the position to an endgame where I can outplay my opponent, and the endgame is often drawish then. That strategy does (suprise suprise) not work. My new strategy is to get to a rather good middlegame (Meaning I focus on not blundering in the opening, develop my pieces and not open the position unless my king is safer and my development is better, with the exception of some theoretical positions such as the open sicilian, as I know quite some theory there.) Then in the middlegame I try to have a good plan. This plan depends on what opening I am playing, if it is an attacking or a positional opening. In attacking ones (Such as the sicilian najdorf or the King's indian defence or opposite sides castling positions overall) I try to attack, and I know how to attack based on modelgames from top level. In positional openings such as the ruy lopez or some najdorf lines and more, I try to improve my pieces, principle of the Least active piece. I generally avoid trading, unless there is any concrete justification. Tactics is something you should always look for. I could write more tips, but I got to stop somewhere. One last thing: I have had periods when I scored better against higher level opponents than against lower rated opponents, because when playing strong players I expected the opponent to be playing good, and against lower rated players I expected the opposite and lost. I don't know if there is any easy quick-fix, but I hope this helped

read description and it's proof i don't know apparently. it was a weird way to phrase "this isn't the best move as i remember it" i'll say that

It is an interesting position, but if you play bd6 then white plays knight f3 which protects the g1 and h2 square, so although there might be something there, I get bd6, nf3, then regardless of whether or not you throw in the rook exchange an uncovered check will only lead to a repetition or a winning position for black that would still be hard to covert without increment.

imagine a world where you could fly or you could be invisible... and you chose both. People would be mad. They'd say "you can't be BOTH!" They'd say "you're not that guy"

@@chesswithjokes you are funny ill give you that, but imagine a world where this made sense.

a world where you're told you can play titled players in open challenges and now they tell me I"m not allowed to accept any titled player's challenge.

I made this follow up because at first I was allowed to play titled players in open challenges and now I am FORBIDDEN. It says "you cannot accept challenges from titled players and [others who have a rating this high]" So yeah they straight up lied to me. Not counting chesscom streamers can't raid lichess streamers, they play 10x as many premium members as I have n the last 500 games, etc. Yeah they're liars. Confirmed 100% no joke

@@kiertteerf3502 he is not 16-1700 or he is not playing open challenge..?

thank you, i'm trying to improve my audio with my current equipment and i appreciate you letting me know!

i appreciate the heads up but i'm significantly smarter than XDYPLEL and since he'll never get laid in his entire life if his history of youtube comments demonstrates a joy in less fortunate or neuro-divergent people a community I have worked with in a professional capacity for neatly a decade, I responded with sympathy @@pancsaer2
