I have a rapid otb tournament in a few hours against a pretty strong field including 2 FM, almost everyone is above 1900 I'm unrated and I'd say my level is 1600-1700ish fide at best I'm gonna get battered so bad
I'm kinda regretting signing up for it , it will be a learning experience for sure but I don't know how my ego will handle it

I suddenly got better at puzzles somehow. I don't know what happened. This week I started seeing the general idea for all puzzles within a minute or two, then spend the next five or ten figuring out refutations to all the defenses and whether there are additional setup or intermezzos required. It feels weird. It feels like I'm just in a good temporary groove and I'm going to lose this progress.

In chess terms, it all mostly depends on what you use it for. Modern phones can all do pretty much the same things and even the cheapest are good enough for emails and browsing social media.
What separates them is gaming performance, camera performance (which in most cases comes down to post processing, not actually the physical camera) and whether you want your data stollen either by Israel or by China.
I personally absolutely refuse to buy anything apple out of principle.

>Modern phones can all do pretty much the same things even the cheapest are good enough for emails and browsing social media.
this I always bought the cheapest smartphones in the store but currently I'm using my gf's old phone which is some lesser galaxy and I honestly can't feel any the difference from my previous 70€ chinese phone
whenever I see someone with an iphone I assume they are naive people easily swindled by marketing

>I honestly can't feel any the difference from my previous 70€ chinese phone
there isnt really anymore, we've already reached the point where its "good enough"
the technology rat race is over
>>
>>521594536
quite bad I had 2 draws and 4 losses, it stings a lot because in one of the losses and one of the draws I had winning positions and threw them in the endgame
in particular a morra game where I was +3 by move 12 missed a couple game ending tactics ended up a pawn in a k and pawn endgame where I was up a pawn AND LOST IT made me wanna kill myself, but the field was quite strong other than me the lowest rated was 1809 average rating had to be in the mid 1900s at least
before the start I was given the option to change my mind and play in the B tournament instead but I didnt wanna pussy out
instead of flagellating myself as I should I decided my punishment shall be having to read 20 pages of this >>521524812 a day

memes that go absolutely nowhere and are never funny. it's as if humor is standing still these days.
>>521594363
a huge chunk of young girls will ignore green texts while accepting blue texts with the assumption that if i start fucking this guy and mass texting each other then i want it to be free texts through imessage instead of paid green texts... so every guy that gets pussy goes with apple. obviously that's totally irrelevant for people here but if you want to know why it's so popular well that's it. girls also love using face time instead of zoom/whatever. at one point if you called someone and they'd reject you would actually see them for a moment and apple of course fixed it

iphones are incredibly overpriced and not at all necessary but the idea that a chink smartphone can match it is hilarious. and if you're scared of data being stolen by china... lol... shit gets made with fucking malware installed and 500 back-ends. 100x less secure than most iphones

Magnus vs Hikaru was never a real rivalry. The St. Louis Chess Club tried to use money to spread propaganda that Hikaru was a legitimate contender for the world title, but no one who understands chess viewed Hikaru as anything other than a petty blitz monkey

Tournament story:
There was one board still active at the end of the tournament, and the younger dude made a bad move, started huffing, saying he accidentally moved the wrong piece, and asked for a draw (his opponent denied him, to his credit).
Younger dude: "You're mean!"
Older dude: (moves piece, hits clock, writes down move, stares at opponent)
So the younger dude was heaving sighs the entire time he moved his pieces, and eventually he was literally one move away from being mated. He let his time run out. When it was pointed out to him, he jumped up and said, "I know it is! Congrats on winning on time, I bet you feel real good about it!" before stomping away.
Anyway, you can be salty after the game, but don't act like this shitter did while it was still going on.
