I was playing in the 1500s before I quite tournaments in 1991.

I scored 1585 on the site.

I only played lines I could explain, not gambity lines that I looked at because it was a test.

1. Ba6

2. NH7

3. cb

4. e6 (I stand by this, an exchange gives you the correct tempo)

5. Nh6

6. Nd5

7. Nc5

8. RxR

9. Bh7+

10. d5

Chess.com: ~1200 (fluctuates)

~ELO: 1540

Seems a tad high.

Let's try to make a list of the best responses.

The best way to do it is to anwer only one question and see what rating you get, the better the rating, better was your move.

Move - rating - comment

1. c5xd4 - 1090 ( Not very good)

2.Be4 1160 ( not sure it's the best but I'm proud of this one)

3. Rxg6 1100

4.e5-e6 1150 ( seems to be the right anwer, at least wins the game)

5.Nxg7 1050

6.h3-h4 1000 ( This one killed my rating, the right one could be Bxf6 that gives 1150)

7.Nc5 1000 ( Thought it was a good positional move, guess not).

8 Bd8 1150 ( Seems to be the right answer)

9 Bg6 1080 ( Don't remember what I chose the first time, but this is definitely not the best move)

10. Bc3 1000 ( went again to the move that I tought would improve my position, probably a mistake)

Just saw my mistake, I was supposed to play as black, not white. and made the same mistake on another one.

Some people have asked about best moves .

This is how the page scores your answers . You can see all the moves it scores for each diagram and th elo it gives . It then adds u and finds the average . It only scores for the moves listed not any other ones .

 I found that FIDE rated players i played OTB are overrated. Specifically i am talking about players who have been rated by FIDE for a year or so, generally they have all been youth players. I dont mean players who have been a stable 2300 for some years etc

ELO: 1425
chess.com:  About 1350. 
From what I've been reading, I think this is fairly accurate, within 100 or 200 points. 

Avatar of Puppaz
I got ELO 1690, my chess.com rating is ~1500, I quite enjoy these positional questions, rather than "puzzles" where you know there's some trick going on, instead of just asking you what move is actually best. The rating is probably higher because I think more on these questions than I do in my own actual games! Possibly because in your own games you can get trapped in the flow of the moves, focussing on certain parts, where as on these questions you try to force yourself to see the whole board, I should probably start doing that in my games :\
Avatar of PrideNSorrow

1) f6-f3??   I thought about the rook sac, then didnt see a follow-up. I mean, it removes the defense of d4, but does black plan to sac the knight too with c5-d4? 

 4) b3-f7   Is what I said, and according to them it's the weakest move here. After exchanging bishops then playing e6, doesn't white have a forced win as black has to keep moving back the king?

 btw, 1605 test, 1478 on chess.com so I suck. I am frustrated by my bad rating. I play chess because it's so creative and unique, but at the same time I'd like to have a little more to show for my years of playing. I do a daily puzzle, read annotations and study games on chessgames.com, and overall I feel like I improve daily, and yet my rating disagrees lol.
