What the newbees should know about Chess.com.#2

This was a good thread to be for the newbees but sadly it got sidetracked. So I am hoping to try it again to give better informations for newbees.

 What is 'newbees' you may asked, well is anyone of any age who have just join up in the chess.com.  

Let's start with...

 winerkleiner- "1)...they are helpful.'
Yes you will find alot of the staffs, mods and of course the members of the chess.com are happy to help you in any ways possible. 

Please try and learn the rules of chess epecially en-passent, castling, pawn promotion. That will save alot of embrassment. 

Here is the good place to start with "Rules of Chess"

No Grobe.  You been here for awhile. 

Is it true that TheGrobe is the biggest Hitler in the history of the universe and always telling people what to do here?

This noob wants to know.

Goldendog we can safetly say the TheGrobe is not the biggest Hitler in this website.

So what you're saying is, Yes, but you're not free to talk.

You newbees may come across some rude members especially in live chess and in the chat room. Will unfortunately there is not much you can do about it. If the person is rude just turn off the chat box, still rude ? blocked that person. If is it very serious you can reported them through the help and support link which is provide at the bottom of every page.  

Guys please keep this thread clean for kohai please.  I know you guys just having a banter on me hahah.

OK TheGrobe, got any ideads what else the newbees should know about this great website ? 

But he was gonna annex me, kco!

Oohh how can we forget this great guy name erik who is the proud operater and owner of this website.

See here for his 'profile'  remember do not report abuse or techinals stuff to him but your are welcome to say Hi to him.

Two very important things to remember...

1) Never tell your opponent to resign. This down right rude if you do. Just finish the game in the best way you can or play some more games or read a book etc.

2)Never tell your opponent to hurry up and make thier move. This also down right rude.  

However:

1) Always resign when you're in a clearly lost position.  It's just the courteous thing to do.

2) Don't unnecessarily delay your moves and games.

On the other hands:

1) It's entirely up to you whether to resign or not, do it on your own time, when you decide if at all.

2) Take as much time as you feel you need for each of your moves.  Don't let anyone else dictate your pace of play.

Jeeze, I am bossy.
