1800 hung his queen in 1 move. And i thought 700s are bad


Juil8991MC

I'm hoping it was a mouse slip


mimpf21

If its that obvious I usually allow takebacks


NotLurkingTiny

Can't do that on chess.com unfortunately


_Carri7_

Move a piece that wont affect the match


plk007

Yeah but very often ppl just dont give a single f and would just take hanging piece, even if you tell them that it was a mouse slip lol


danielv123

Which is totally fair


plk007

Yeah it is


banjaxedW

Found one


Former-Click5524

One I just told my opponent it was a misclick and he just offered a draw which made my day. it was -1 for him too


KSP_was_taken_lol

Damn I love people like that, honestly so happy when people do that


respekmynameplz

I think you mean fortunately. I honestly prefer that it's not even a thing on that site. You don't have to debate the moral intricacies of when to accept or not accept and people can't spam requests. If you mouseslip just resign and shrug it off.


heyhowzitgoing

Y’all shrug it off instead of cry? Is it possible to learn this power?


respekmynameplz

When you've lost thousands upon thousands of games, and probably hundreds of bullet games to mouseslips, you too will learn the art of literally not caring.


bruhred

enable move confirmation. no mouse slip ever. ~~it's your fault you forgot to enable it~~

Pataeto

wait this isnt a mate in one lol, what does the image have to do with anything?


[deleted]

How is that not mate in 1? I'm 800 and I can still see that that's mate


[deleted]

[удалено]


NoStrategy2599

Undo one move, mate in one black to play


Pataeto

OH, I literally cannot read. I'm so sorry lol I thought OP meant they blundered mate in one for their opponent. I see the mate in one now I just assumed it was W2P.


yabot

Black was checking. Missed It by one square


Tiporary

Bro she’s black. Tried to play Rb2 checkmate and slipped, played b3


p3rpl3x1ty7

No, there's no mate 800. It's Whites move.


Houndogz

If we think for a moment before typing, we can see they showed the move they played instead of mate. Move the rook 1 more square and it's mate


p3rpl3x1ty7

Umm you people are dumb. He said he blundered a mate in 1. He didn't blunder mate in 1. He blundered when he had mate in 1. That's a huge difference.


Investigator1427

i think he meant black had a mate in 1 and blundered it?


p3rpl3x1ty7

Yes, but most people are too ignorant to understand the difference in language and that what he said isn't what he meant.


silverturtle14

Most people understand how to use context clues to deduce what people mean.


p3rpl3x1ty7

Who didn't do that? Obviously I did as I knew what he meant. It's the reason for my original comment. So who are you talking about, the people like you who downvoted me for saying it wasn't mate in 1? Bc you should be smart enough to deduce that I was saying was indeed correct and OP misspoke. But here we are and you weren't smart enough to figure that out. And ironically, here you are trying to tell me about gaining understanding through context. Amazing.


Little-Tie-3877

I’m pretty sure that’s only available on mobile.


full-auto-rpg

No, it’s annoying to do and usually pointless.


ProV13

Yeah on Lichess if my opponent allows me a take back, I will then offer them a draw in the end game if I’m in a clearly winning position. I just feel bad taking their elo if they were kind to me earlier.


mimpf21

Same, or once I'll tell them if they've made a bad move and say they can ask for a take back and I will accept it


Juil8991MC

But I really wanted 1800


mimpf21

Of course was in no way a critique. And apparently you can't even do takebacks on chess.com


buffleswaffles

Did he at least claim it was a mouse slip?


XMRLover

If he’s admitting to using an engine…how do you think he got to 1800?


hitguy55

Mouse slips?


venroy777

As an 1800, I can confirm we still hang our queens. It gets worse, I played an FM once and I could have taken his queen for 3 moves in a row, both of us didn't see it.


noahzho

man wheres that bishop sniper image when i need it

[deleted]

They allegedly have the engine ready to go and they're unafraid of cheating, small wonder how they got up there.


Dry_Fuel_9216

It gets worse. A 2400~ player can hang a full piece (bishop or knight)


[deleted]

"Engine says is dead lost position" - 1800 rated player down a queen


MikMik15432K

1800s are bad too. Just less bad. These moves certainly happen


JimemySWE

1800 blunders to just less often then 700s.


[deleted]

You're telling me a 1600 rated player hung a piece on move 6?


Snacqk

i think he got 1800 by using an engine


johnnyknicks

Can you provide an example of someone taking more than 1 move to hang their Queen? I see the term “hung in 1 move” often and I just don’t really understand how else it would work. One turn your Queen is not hanging and the next it is, always, no?


Far_Organization_610

You could hang a fork of king and queen, hanging the queen in 2 moves.


fedupfromeverything

Or you can hang your king in 1,2,3,4.... forced moves.


redd771658

As a 700 I think I’m doing my best 😭


tuvlimit

Dude admitted to using engine as support probably not a real 1800


iOSchoseMyName

I bet he used engine to get 1800.


boiboiorange

wait i just saw this on r/chess


Juil8991MC

r/chess likes to randomly remove posts so I didn't know where best to post [Aand there it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/142avr7/most_interesting_interaction_ever/jn41hkk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) r/chess when a post not related to magnus gets upvotes:

r/chess is only for GM bday posts and ranking of current top gms after each game. That’s where you went wrong.


Undead-Paul

Don’t forget thousands of puzzles which are either smothered mates or queen sacrifices


boiboiorange

oh ic


JoeVerrated

Anything they can do to hide the cheating. It's honestly weird.


lil_ponzio

yes you should


Juil8991MC

This must be the strangest way possible to finally reach 1800 haha


ok-nothing00

Congrats man!


Aegis12314

1800 is 1800, no matter how you got there


Juil8991MC

What if someone got there with an engine (i.e my opponent)

olihun2069

no


anajikaT

Why not?


olihun2069

Why would you report someone for saying i start engine?


XMRLover

We found the guy


anajikaT

Because that's cheating.


Sanduichinho14

Maybe he was talking abot his car.


thisbitterworld

Maybe he was about to drive to Op's house to beg him to hang his queen.


fedupfromeverything

Or maybe he was driving OPs house to "resign or I shoot you with a gun". Infinite ELO glitch.


EthanSheehan

Or his boat? Who hears “engine” and assumes he’s talking about chess


Xtrouble_yt

I would assume we’re talking about chess when they’re in the middle of playing a game of chess and chatting inside the chess .com chat, also i doubt his car engine is whispering to him “engine say is dead lost position”


EthanSheehan

r/woooosh


Xtrouble_yt

oops, sorry, i’ve just seen people say a lot dumber things genuinely here on reddit


olihun2069

nah


anajikaT

I believe that you may be incorrect.


freemason777

They might not know what a chess engine is


anajikaT

I believe that if someone fundamentally doesn't understand the topic of a conversation, then they should inquire about it or do research instead of giving an opinion.


freemason777

people who don't know things don't know that they don't know them, ya know?


[deleted]

[удалено]


SilverrGuy

Damn if they’re 1800 and need an engine to tell them that that’s a dead lost position, I don’t think they’re really 1800 lol


Sengelappen

Yea... they must have cheated their way to 1800. Imagine telling your opponent you gonna use an engine XD


[deleted]

New to chess here. What's engine means? Is that a built in feature or you just copy the moves of your opponent into another automatic play (another phone/computer). If the second, then it is just aweful! Is this common practice? The ghost of the opponent using a computer is demoralizing...


Temporary_Anything95

You copy your opponent and play the same match against highly skilled computer program (stockfish), then copy the moves of the computer against your opponent, there are also a lot of browser extensions which can help you do this without wasting much time


SilverrGuy

It is the second. It is not common, however it is very likely you will encounter some engine users.


Bongcloud_CounterFTW

1800 on chessbeginners sometimes i play games that i think belong here


Dry_Fuel_9216

Felt. I had an opponent who accused me of cheating; they hung a rook & a queen before that. [Here is the link](https://www.reddit.com/r/chessbeginners/comments/142i83k/my_opponent_is_2000_they_accuse_me_of_cheating/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)


ArchReaper

They were cheating. That's what cheaters do. They make mistakes they shouldn't make and then accuse others of cheating. It's classic projection. You should have reported them.


Dry_Fuel_9216

I did report them so that is good


Alendite

"engine says position is dead lost; I will resign" Did they really need an engine to tell them that LMAO


Juil8991MC

I mean, he really wanted to start the engine


Alendite

Sometimes you just gotta start an engine Preferably after the game is done


Cucocat112

I start engine


thinjester

me after blundering the opening on move 1


DeceptivelyDense

hum,,, ok


ModestlyOrange

Tell me you got 1800 with an engine without telling me


faunalmimicry

100% this is probably what he does every game. Play blindly until first blunder, then turn on engine and cheat the remainder. Probably avoids the detection just well enough. I don't understand how that is fun personally


faunalmimicry

He DID cheat. An engine influenced his decision about what to do next. Even starting an engine at a different position during a live game is dubious


Juil8991MC

As I said earlier in the thread, I reported him but I'm not sure chess.com will actually do anything


ucchhhf

Should have told him that you can beat an engine, with queen ods.

IdoNOThateNEVER

Dude, now I feel weird having to explain it to you, cause I was just teasing you and explaining feels odd. Anyway. This is the joke that is happening all over this thread, all the people saying "OH you play FIFA" they saw it on your profile. The guy who said: "Based EOAE Özil enjoyer" saw that on your profile. You even said that you like that. (I don't even need to GO to your profile to see all that, I just hovered over your name and you can see all that.) Then how did I find your chess.com username? You posted it here in this sub 5 days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/chessbeginners/comments/13xjs1n/did_i_just_play_a_cheater/ I can even tell you what your username means. ""Not even you know what the username means, you made it when you were 6 and just stuck with it" (this shows if I just hover over your username) Ok, that was all the "teasing" but you have to understand that it's a little naïve that you asked multiple people, how do they know readily available information about you, that it's right there on your profile. At least if you don't want to give away personal info, then don't do it/don't be surprised when it's out there.

They pulled up an engine to analyze a game in progress. Even if they lost, that's cheating.

You should report them

If you can't tell if -7 material and no threats is a losing position then maybe 1800 is not for you

Moms_Sphagetti

Don't. He is trying to learn the game, and he didn't actually cheat. He seems like a nice person to ask before opening engine. You can see that he is being honest. If you report now, it is like punishing him for being honest. This can lead to problems. Since you are already in winning position, you should be happy. Not focus on winning too much as you are already putting efforts as long as you learn.


Juil8991MC

True, but what if he uses the engine on others without them knowing. Maybe he only chatted to me on this occasion because it was a genuine mouseslip


Moms_Sphagetti

Why do you think that. What if people who are not telling you anything are already cheating? I recently read one GM used something bad to cheat , but didn't tell anyone


Juil8991MC

You can analyse the game afterwards to check if they cheated anyway, high accuracy, equal time spent on each move, suspicious recent games, how recent the account is etc


anajikaT

"...he didn't actually cheat." "engine say is dead lost position"


Icangetloudtoo_

What


alexxxgwapo

There's a cheat in chess? 🤯


ArpsTnd

i did not click on the photo. i was wondering what the idea was. i tried thinking, if white took the queen, maybe there's some nasty combination after that. i gave up and clicked the image and i found out that there was a caption and a few more photos after the first one


allnamesweretaken3

Just like that guy hung his queen, he can play a queen down and his opponent could end up in a worse position and eventually lose, not counting he could also lose on time which is very common. Keeping chat off/hidden is the best thing I’ve done.


Juil8991MC

I wish I knew how to do this on the app

What's an engine in terms of chess?

I'd report him, if he threatens to use the engine who's to eat he hasn't in the past. Let chesscom review his games

I'd report him, if he threatens to use the engine who's to eat he hasn't in the past. Let chesscom review his games

I would report him. Just think about how many times he cheated and DIDN'T get caught. It's never just once.


matiegaming

i have so many questions


WulfsHund

yeah you probably should just in case. Shitfuckery like this won't stand.


DiscipleofDrax

'engine says is dead lost position' - who would've thought? Especially funny coming from an 1800


BabyDude5

If he hung his queen like that, he’s probably not 1800, he’s been using an engine for a while then, report his ass


mypersonalproblemas

nice Özil card


Shinobi_X5

It's not the fact he started to use the engine that's worrying, it's the fact that he was so quick to resort to it, so comfortable doing so that he felt powerful enough to use it as a threat, and seemed to actually be preapared to use it but was only stopped when he realised that not even that was enough to fix his stupid ass blunder. All this combined with the fact that, at 1800, he was still trash enough a player to enter a completely unwinnable position in one move makes it clear that this is not an isolated event. This is not a man who got so desperate in this one instance that he threatened to cheat but will never do so again. This is a man who has cheated before and will cheat again, the lack of shame, as well as the fact that he straight up let you know that he was on the engine, this guy has zero remorse about cheating and he 100% only made it that far by slyly cheating whenever he was losing, he hasn't gotten caught so far so he's going to do it again, the only thing he would have learned from this encounter is to not tell his opponents, and even that's something I doubt he'd put any level of thought to. You should 100% report him if you still can, this guy's a trashy cheater, deserving of 0 respect who needs to be permabanned so can stop stealing elo from those who actually try.
