I went on to Chess.com after it. Some Italian cunt made a right fucking fool of me, he let me have his queen and all. Next thing, bang, right in the kisser. Never saw it coming, thought the cunt had resigned but he had me in checkmate. Havenā€™t been back since.

On me and lost by six seconds.

I know what way the pieces move and thatā€™s about it.

I was playing there recently enough, think I saw the site here and some Ukraine fella just logged off when I was kicking the shit outta him.

I was getting destroyed myself then in another game and I stayed to the bitter end out of respect.

Whatā€™s yer Chess.com rating lads? Weā€™ll have to do a TFK tournament. Might be the saddest sentence Iā€™ve ever typed.
I was up to 600 there but slipping back again. I resolved two years to learn how to play chess, but lasted about an hour before I gave up. Iā€™m back at it again since the new year, itā€™s my New Years resolution to be passable at it.
If I could concentrate for 20 minutes Iā€™d be dangerous.

How are you scoredā€¦ Beating other players and on a per level basis?

You start off at six hundred while they see are you any good, I reckon itā€™s about middle beginner, then you play people around your score and you get plus and minus points on your score based on their score vs yours.
