I am currently in this game, my opponent is a 1500 player on this site,
yet as you look over the game it is obvious that he is not playing like a 1500 or even a 1300 would be expected to play. Do you guys come across this phenomena a lot and if so, what does it usually indicate?

Originally posted by Big Orange Countryyou can't compare ratings between different rating pools. it makes just as little sense as comparing BCF to USCF. 1500 here doesn't mean the same thing as 1500 on any other site. and as you just started, you can't possibly know what 1500 or 1300 were supposed to play like here.

a 1500 in BCF would be nothing less than a god.

i play blitz on uchess.com a lot, so im used to their rating standards
though not much anymore because the server constantly disconnects me when i am 2-3 moves away from mating the guy... thats another story.

50. ... Rd3+ 51. Ke1 Re3 and black wins trivially in 4 moves.
Edit: "dumbass" 😛

Originally posted by MeadowsI assumed jackass number 1 was referring to the time after I exchanged down. Now that jackass number two has backed up that far, yes, that is the easiest win. But the last time I checked, it doesn't matter how one wins. For me, it took much less thought to go my way, and I'd like to keep it that way. And that guy's a moderator on this site? I'm sure he scolds/forum bans people all the time for insulting others. Oh, the hipocrisy.

Originally posted by Big Orange Country"are you too dumb of a player to count ahead to discover that mate comes much faster with the promotion to queen/rook?" is a quote from one of your earlier posts. Please post a mating line (which includes promoting your pawn) that can mate in less than 8 moves.

regardless of what white does,
... Re3
... Kd3
... Ke4
... d3
... d2
... d1=Q (+, depending on where the white king is)
... Qd2+
... Re1#
If I didn't make it clear in my last post, lemme try to restate myself.
yes, Re3+ then Rd3 is the fastest winning line from a previous position. From the final position, I am right in that mate comes faster with promotion instead of the K and R mate jackass number 1 seemed to be advocating.
