TrumanB Posted September 30, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Most of us probably only have online rating. Mine goes between 1550-1600 on chess.com. I play 10min rapid mostly. Make a lot of blunders and often loose focus and think about other things while playing. How's it going with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumanB Posted September 30, 2020 Author #2 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have a feeling that I hit a snag. 1600 is like wall and I can't overleap it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can change image after 12 games and I don't know how to change my real name to nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,i went back and checked,it says max invite but its rating. Well both of those settings are off on mine and i never have anyone challenging me except um members who enter my username.. Im sure someone had the same problem on here and the fix isposted in the general chess tournament thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumanB Posted October 5, 2020 Author #12 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Mine invites are also both on 0 ( I guess that means that they are off ). I'm not interested in playing on this site apart from forum tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[faq]changeusername[/faq] Unfortunately this is not possible. For consistency and to prevent confusion for other users, the registered name must remain as it was entered when you signed up. Subscribers can request that their name be modified to correct spelling and capitalisation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While having more than one account on our website is against the rules of UM.. you can re-register under a different name with RHP.

Or I'll just quit and focus on boosting my rating on chess.com It's going pretty well in past few days, I'm 1600+ and close to 2000 in tactics rating.
