why can't i talk about the elephant in the room? it's relevant to the general, how is it trolling? i also wonder if you genuinely believe i am the only one bothered by your obsession with control over this general and your chessfu being in the OP.
>>
>>580286839
I don't care about "controlling" the general that's just something your schizo mind made up, I just use Eline pictures because she's cute and I'd rather see her face on the catalog than balding Hans or an ugly fat fuck, last (You) I'm giving you because you're clearly not here to talk about chess and only here to troll me

maybe because it was repeating the same shit as other posts above and stuff I already addressed? like I never called anyone obsessive, that was projection/schizo delusion, and there's nothing to call out, using Eline pictures to make the threads isn't anything worth trolling and derailing the threads unless you don't come here to talk about chess

i'm tired, boss.

if i were to dive back in, should i change up my repertoire or pick back up where i left off? i have like 1.5 openings each for white and black.

>>580333925
You’ll want to broaden your repertoire, you should have a line that you want to play against every opening. You should have lines against Alekhine, King’s Gambit, London, all the openings you never bothered to actually study and just played what you thought seemed fine instead. Chess is a game of preparation and above 2000 people are prepared.
You should be aware that you it will take more time than you think to get back to your previous form, if you can. Chess rust is brutal for adult improvers

>Cheatmixer tending to his thread
>>
>>580342683
For all his faults and insanity catmixer gets laid, this level of pathetic obsessive simping for a stranger can only exists in the loneliest most desperate incel
He's either pbt(almost certainly imo) or someone with the exact same kind of literal autism, down to the passive aggressiveness and weird specific behaviours like not linking threads he didn't bake and constant appealing to the rules/jannies, would be one hell of a coincidence but both chess and this site attract a lot of autists so there is a remote chance
>>
>>580376060
and why are you creating drama out of nothing? do you think anyone gives a shit about the OP picture besides you and maybe 2 other schizos? if pbt is that /tg/ schizo then shouldn't you do your best to keep this general on this board instead of trying to destroy it with trolling and drama?
>noooooooo it's the pbt he made another thread now I will punish him by calling him out for 40 posts
btw you don't say the same thing to the guy who spams alua I wonder why
>>
>>580376668
>do you think anyone gives a shit about the OP besides you and maybe 2 other schizos?
You are the one who obsessively made every OP about you waifu for months retard, this might be the worst "no u" of all time
I don't care about the OP as long as It isn't the same shit everytime
>you don't say the same thing to the guy who spams alua I wonder why
And AGAIN with projections you reality can't go one sentence without projecting your faults onto others, it's unbelievable
I called him a pathetic simp many times same with the dyvia poster
>>
>>580377343
you're obsessed about obsessively using the word obsessed to accuse me of being obsessed, it's not a "no u" to wonder why you care SO much about what kind of picture is used for the OP, nice deflection and refusing to answer the question
>>
>>580317402
>that poverty room
you're a 3rd worlder, thoughever. it's easy to get gfs in the 3rd world. every 3rd worlder i know has a gf. judging by the wheat colored skin on your gf, i'd say you're south american.

here in the 1st world things are rough. very very rough. women only want to date up. women in poor countries know they're in the same boat as everyone else so they'll just date whoever. women here in the west only want guys from the good boat not the bad boat. if you're in the bad boat (the poor people boat), you're donezo.

basically what i'm saying is you're from a poor country, getting a gf is not an achievement.

why do you care to the point of derailing the thread over the OP picture is the question you fucking retard
you could just not give a shit like everyone else who is not a schizo and we could have a normal thread but no you have to make it about YOU and YOUR detective work and YOUR crusade against pbt thus becoming even worse than him

i agree that something needs to be done but your idea that he should he found and checkmated in his home so to speak with an axe is a bit extreme, "the king" if we can call him that although a nuisance is a cornerstone of his local kingdom and mating him once and for all to cleanse the (chess)board of his spam and his repeated playing with himself at the board near the (bulletin)board (of his kingdom) for all to see is risky and unnecessary, we can just call the arbiter and see that the situation is resolved peacefully. if it's not we can always drop the online game of chess and try to get recognized as a sport, where he will have to play with a flag (under FIDE)
>>
>>580386693
I'm sure you think every argument is an exchange of "no u" until one side gives up and the other wins but this is not the case here and the only troll is the one that keeps derailing threads and trolling, not the one who "hijacks" the OP to post Eline, "hijacking" does not mean copying the same thread and changing the picture

>you straight up without a trace of self awareness unironically fucking "no u" me pointing out your "no u"ing ways
You are just too autistic to be reasoned, there is literally no end to your projecting
Again cause and effect can't be "no u"ed away, if you make the next thread anything other than eline edition no one will call you out, if you do make another people will call you out again as a direct consequence of your own actions and you have no right to whine about it thinking you are the wronged one
It's that simple no need to keep with surreal parody of an argument going even a retarded autist must be able to understand cause and effect come on, even animals get it
>>
>>580412327
there is nothing to call out because that behavior is not problematic to anyone who is not a schizo
>oh noooooooo how dare you make another Eline thread we've had 10 of those already... I'm calling you out now you're my forever internet enemy
you can't talk about cause and effect and randomly start antagonizing random people for wearing the wrong clothes or liking the wrong chess player

It's so irritating to watch matches and hear people talk about this open file or attacking that diagonal. Why does it matter what you could do unless you can actually move somewhere or win a trade? Most of the time when I have move a rook onto an open file, I get kicked off by another rook. If I take the rook in most positions, I'd get recaptured by the other rook or queen. Then what good is it? Wait for the other guy to trade? And if no one takes, it's just too rooks staring at each other doing nothing.
I don't get the idea of attacking one side or the other either. What's that supposed to accomplish? Getting material on that side? It's not like a real-time strategy. I lose games all the time when I have complete control over part of the board. And eventually the board is clear enough that pieces can move unobstructed from one side to the other anyway.

Good morning sir
>>
>>580505767
Since no one else tried to get it, I will post the solution:
I played 1...Qg4. With White's last move, it is clear his autopilot response would be Bg2 and that would lose a piece. He has to be accurate and play something else that defends against ...Qf3, such as f4, to hold on.
But in the game it went 1...Qg4 2.Bg2?? Bxg2 3.Kxg2 Qe4+ 4.Kg1 Qxe5 5.dxe5 Rxd2 and black is up a piece.

This is the difference between Magnus and the likes of Hikaru and Hans. (Tbf, Hikaru is a million times better than Hans.)

Magnus is competitive. Magnus can have a few outbursts (in the heat of the moment) and he can come off quite arrogant. But nobody will ever deny that Magnus is a class apart when it comes to respecting fellow players. Hikaru and Hans don’t show that. They come off as whiny and entitled. (Again, Tbf, Hikaru to a far lesser extent than Hans).

Magnus is the greatest player ever. There’s no question about it and he knows it too. But he also respects the achievements of his predecessors and his successors.

I guess it just comes down to differences American society and Scandinavian societies. Scandinavian societies in general allow for a well rounded development of kids and their personalities. I wonder if Fischer was born in Scandinavia or even Western Europe, would he have had similar troubles as he had in his life.

I liked my play in this game because I went for the active option. Usually it's my bad habit of talking myself out of things when I see my opponent's defenses that prevent me from winning material. Not considering how active a position I will get!!
So I thought of g4 and saw ...Be6, I play Re1 threatening and he can defend, BUT I played it anyway, and it was correct.
Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. My opponent made the conversion easy as hell by playing ...Qf6 and giving me Ne4 with tempo but oh well.

You're allowed to use an engine in it so there is no way to cheat.
>>
>>580620590
seriously, this question made me go back to my copy of "A History of Chess".

The checkerboard itself was borrowed from European accountants (ex-chequers), where counting boards functioned like an abacus. It supplanted the plain lined board of shatranj from around 1100-1200 AD.

But originally there was no standard for which side got the white square. Some books with chess diagrams actually had it opposite way round from one page to another, to prevent the diagram from showing through the page. Doesn't seem to have been standardized until the 1500s, maybe due to the printing press. (Book II Chess in Europe, Chapter III The Mediaeval Game)

One of the better games I’ve played in awhile. Saw that doubling up on the e file after taking e6+ wasn’t aggressive enough and could be refuted with Re8, so I took the bishop by instinct.

>You think they’d be 1500 if they were cheating?
I haven't looked at the game and don't care to, it's true some people use "cheating" as a go to cope for their losses(ahem karla ahem) so this might be one such case but your claim in general is stupid
It's only true for cheaters who do it every game or close to it but those are a small minority both because get caught much quicker and because it's such a pointless and boring activity, most cheaters do it sporadically
>you got me with an opening trap I don't deserve to lose like this
>I lost last game due to a disconnection, I deserve my points back
>I know this endgame is winning/drawn might as well let stockfish do it for me
>I got flagged in a winning position twice today I deserve those points back
>I'm one win away from -rating milestone- again but I always choke in this situation
etc
Those kinds of cheaters end up only a few hundred points above their real skill so they can absolutely be 1500 or even lower

what's the minimum rating to beat an untrained player 100% of the time
>>
>>580781183
Probably like 670
>>
>>580781183
By chesscom rating standards, 700+. And if you want to beat someone who was in the chess club for a few months, you may need to be around 1000+. For time control I recommend 5 minute blitz because once you get used to moving quickly, most untrained chess players will feel pressured to move as quickly as you do and they will not think through their moves whatsoever, even if there is no clock on the table. I've been beating consistently beating every friend and family member I've played IRL since I hit 1000. Also, do lots of puzzles and learn checkmating patterns. You will get people really easily when aiming for common weaknesses that they will simply not recognize. Also, get used to thinking on your opponent's turn.

I was building my own tiny house and had spent about 4k so far on it. One day I took some pictures to show him what I was building and he was impressed and said that was so cool! He asked me how much I thought it would cost and I told him I was going to take out a loan for about 20k more to finish it and that was what I estimated I needed. Without asking he wired me 25k the next day to help me build my house. He was truly such an amazing person.

>if you are not familiar with them already google "opening principles" and try to stick with them, don't bother with opening theory yet
beginner level games mostly boil down to not blundering as much as your opponents and punishing their blunders, puzzles help with this but during the game try to be aware of what is attacking what at all times, when your opponent makes a move consider what he could be threatening and what he might have stopped defending
lichess has a lot of useful stuff under practice, as for youtubers john bartolomew "chess foundamentals" play list is good, the chesskids channel is good for beginner if you can endure the cringe, chess books aren't the easiest to get into but "play winning chess" is a good entry level one(you can pirate it on anasarchive like most non-obsucure chess books)
for puzzles lichess is fine, chesstempo is better and pirating puzzle book is best, "1001 Chess Exercises for Beginners" is a good starting point again you can find it on the internet quite easily

>>580839324
At 300 elo literally the only thing that matters is that you blunder less pieces than your enemy. Make safe moves and stop doing onemovers where you make such a bad move that your opponent can just take one of your pieces for free in the next move.
While playing safe the other guy will eventually blunder one of his pieces, guaranteed. Then just take it.

Before you make a move, take 3 seconds to verify if that's a safe square to move to.

Started playing the Hungarian Defense with great results lately because online chess amateurs love to think they’re temporarily embarrassed Mikhail Tals and will just sac and mate you. I’ve realized just playing “drawish” solid openings and letting them self-implode is the best winning strategy. Almost every game is like that, they come out throwing all their pieces neglecting position, inevitably sac, I calmly solidify my position and then press the material advantage while they shuffle and squirm. In the rare case I play a fellow positional intellectual it just goes to a clean endgame where I’m comfortable trying to Magnus them as well. Once I’m 2000-2100 (currently 1900 lichess) I’ll probably have to try more fighting openings again though. I’m not going to be better at endgames than people who have been playing their whole lives and will have to go back to trying to win any way I can.
>>
>>580962647
Yep, my advice to sub 2000 and especially newer players has always been to focus on not losing more than winning. I was never comfortable even playing breezy king’s pawn games or even allowing sacs though. You mention wanting to play for wins as you rise through rating, there’s an opening you can get comfortable with right now that allows you to both play purely defensively or for an endgame, as well as to play more tactically if you choose: the Caro Kann, the best opening for black ever devised.
>>
>>580963232
I tried the Chudo Kann’t and didn’t like it at all. White always plants his knight on e5 and I didn’t like the sharpness of the Panov either. Just e5 seems most solid to me.
>>
>>580963494
That’s fair and e5 is definitely solid. I just never played king’s pawn games when I was learning, like everyone else, so I’ve never been comfortable in those structures. I’ll play anything against e4 OTHER than e5 lol. Even after paying for some Chessable courses and learning e5 I just couldn’t do it. It’s just not intuitive to me. It’s a critical oversight in my development but I managed to work around it
>White always plants his knight on e5
That can be countered if you learn how
>and I didn’t like the sharpness of the Panov either
Definitely the Caro is only as solid as your knowledge of it. There are a lot of lines that get you in trouble quickly, like the Bayonet or Panov and you need to be booked up against them in a way you probably don’t need to be with e5. But if you DO study for it, it’s basically impenetrable.
>>
>>580918731
Clicker like Magnus. It completely eliminates misclicks and all my visualization happens in my head so this >>580934273 isn’t a thing for me
>>
>>580963232
>>580963952
Do you play e4? It’s not that different from black side
>>
>>580964576
>>580964576
Not anymore but yeah I’ve played plenty of e4. It’s just not the same for me, maybe the difference in tempo is part of it. But I even moved away from e4 entirely. I started playing mainly d4 and sometimes e4 about a year ago, and have since switched entirely to the English, d4 and 1. Nf3 games. I don’t like how forcing king’s pawn games are and how every patzer has their pet lines memorized that allows them to blitz mindlessly and survive deep into the middle game no problem. Play more closed or hypermodernly and they’re usually fish out of water trying to come up with their own ideas. I realized that initially against weaker players so I’d play e4 against people my own rating and d4 etc against lower ratings, then I realized it’s true of my own rating and all ratings and was the same reason Kasparov Karpov et al switched from e4 decades ago.
>>
I think the funniest thing in chess to me as a beginner is a move that looks extremely stupid but actually equalizes after all the exchanged pieces like how does that work how is that not black magic
>>
>>580964952
Beginner here. Can you explain how those openings and E4 are different?
>>
1. e5 draws on demand, I don't understand why chudo kanners don't do it. You just gotta stoooody how to play against slurping openings like the Ruy/Italian or the Vienna and you're done
>>
>>580965174
Sure! e4 initiates what’s known as an “open game” which is when white’s queen and bishop are both free to move immediately. Black has responses that make it “semi-open” like the Sicilian but it’s basically always just a very breezy, open position where white’s king is exposed at f2 and pieces come out quickly. It’s just the nature of an “open game” that moves tend to be pretty forcing and “logical”. e4 e5 okay I play Nf3 attacking the exposed e5 pawn, okay I play Nc6 defending it, okay I play Bb5 (Ruy Lopez) threatening to undefend the pawn, etc. This makes it pretty comfortable for newer players to survive against because they can just memorize the typical forcing moves and play easy “one move at a time” logical moves.
d4 and c4 are what are known as “closed games”. The maneuverability of white’s pieces out of the opening are more restrained than in e4 and the games tend be more positional and cagey rather than open and tactical. That also means there’s more room for improvisation and the games are less “forced”. So weaker players will feel uncomfortable having to actually play for themselves and calculate more than one move ahead.
>>

Damn that’s a better explanation than I expected. Thanks

>4...Nbd7

>With 4...Nbd7, black intends to play the Cambridge Springs Defense, which continues 5. Nf3 c6 6. e3 Qa5. The Cambridge Springs Defense is a solid line of the QGD and is often played both in the amateur level (because of the easier to understand theme) and the grandmaster level. This move also sets a trap that has ensnared quite a few players. White can continue 5. cxd5 exd5, resulting in a position that resembles the QGD Exchange variation (which is fine for both camps), as long as he/she doesn't play 6. Nxd5??. While it superficially appears to win a pawn (because the black knight is pinned), black can capture with his knight with 6... Nxd5!. Then after 7. Bxd8, white has not won black's queen because of 7... Bb4+!, where the only legal move is 8. Qd2, and black gets his/her queen back and emerges a minor piece ahead.
>>
It’s crazy how much better I play when I’m in form. I went from not being able to play a single good game to consistently playing 95% accuracy games and the best moves appearing immediately in my mind like magic. I couldn’t beat the Mr. Blakey(?) bot on com to save my life losing over and over and I just logged on and beat it easily first try. Adult improvers have such massive swings in ability completely dependent on how rusty they are.
>>
>>580984587
Sadly every patzer knows that trap, even moreso than b5 b4 c6 bxc bxc in the QGA, somehow. I just end up in a dry equal game against lower ratings when I try it
>>
>>580985376
^ Not the notation I meant but I’m too lazy to correct it, you know what I mean
>>
>>580985717
Nah I don’t
>>
Fine. In the QGA it’s a common beginner trap after white plays e3 to win the back pawn to go b4, white plays a4, you can’t protect the pawn with a6 without losing the rook so they play c6, but after axb cxb there’s Qf3 and black loses.

It’s the best objectively, even Stockfish always plays it now (a few years ago it preferred c4). But human play and best objectively aren’t the same and open games can give humans issues that engines don’t have.
Not surprising Bobby preferred it though, he’s the closest a human has ever come to being Stockfish

I was at a chess club last night and I meet this guy for the first time. He says to me, "Anon, are you getting enough sleep. You look like you're 100 years old."
And I thought to myself, 'And you look like a fucking cripple." The guy had one of his arms curled up and his leg in a brace. But it's not socially acceptable for me to say THAT to his face.
And then later unprompted the guy talks about "fascism" and how someone "looks intelligent and not evil so he must not be a conservative". Like Jesus Christ man, grow up and look in a mirror.

“[Question: How did you feel about defeating Nakamura at EWC?]

Well, I knew I would beat him. I have already played him. He doesn’t know how to play at all! No jokes.

His style has so many weaknesses that are clear how to use. His opening often limps, his positional play too. Moreover, I already beat him in London.

So, I was simply sure that I dominate on all fronts. There was not a single match where I was so sure.”

>the absolute state of this thread
I say when the world championship starts when move to /sp/ and stay there
I've argued against it in the past but at this point it's the lesser evil, the samefaging and spamming is out of control flags would at least make it easier to scroll past and maybe deter it too
>>

>noooo we NEED to move to this gay board where the thread will die even faster

Good afternoon chess
>>
Flags will both make catmixer samefagging pointless and show the schizos who think every post is from the "samefagger" wrong preventing them for shitting up the thread too
>where the thread will die even faster
/sp/ is a much much much slower board than /vg/ look at the catalog there are multiple threads there that haven't been bumped in 24 hours and are still alive, we would only ever be bumped off during major football happenings which are few and far between
To be clear I don't like the idea of flags either I realize it would make most non-american posters into involuntary tripfags myself included as I said I used to be against moving to /sp/ for this reason but it's better than the general being 40% catmixer talking to himself and 40% schizos accusing the few regular anons left of samefagging too
>>
>>581325406
>>581335446
>>
>>581335446
so why wait for the wcc? why don't you try making a chess thread on /sp/ see what happens?
>>
>>581335446
>/sp/ is a much much much slower board than /vg/
because it's the fucking offseason for most major sports you tard
>>
>>581335812
the only major sport on /sp/ is football and it isn't "off season" no one outside of muttland cares about your sports so they are mostly relegated to generals
>>581335664
it's a good pretext plus the thread is so slow now it might not get going it takes a certain momentum to get people to switch, it's better to wait
>>
>>581307007
This is a lot of words but they don't actually answer my question. I didn't actually say what you just said I did.
>>
>>581336692
every time you switch boards you lose people because that's the nature of switching boards unless 100% of people are in your discord but then you wouldn't need to make these posts
it's just funny how you ended being like pbt
>>
>>581336692
>he doesn't know about how a single nba game can mean 10+ threads created
lol
>>
>>581336991
the idea is that a bunch of people are bound to come back for the wcc and they are more likley to stay if they find the general in a sane state and not the asylum it is now, remember during the candidates it was getting active again then massive schizo melties drove people away and it became much slower than it was before it, flags would mitigate that stuff
> you lose people because that's the nature of switching boards unless
one of the reasons this thread has slowly died is that we don't get much new blood being on the "wrong" board, people logically look for it on /tg/ see the ultra dead pbt one and assume there is no chess discourse on 4chan
at least on sp we might get people who stumble onto it from the catalog, nobody browses the catalog on /vg/
>>581337175
that's fucking nothing it wouldn't' cause us to be bumped of,for prospective the 20th last thread in bump order right now hasn't had a post in 16 hours, it's only during the champions league finals and semis the euros and the wc that /sp/ gets fast, that's a few days a year on average

who cares, make one on /sp/ if you want, most people have abandoned this place regardless

>>581351575
even if you were right that only means you would only need to bump once every 12 hours instead of once every 6 hours
you wouldn't create activity out of nothing and you would only talk to the same 3 flags
nobody goes to /sp/ and "accidentally" finds a chess thread

those of you who are against c-tm-xer should know that he was the main driving force behind leaving /tg/ in the first place and he would really hate going back. The janny used to delete all his off topic posts.

Did catmixer just samefag an entire argument, alongside 3rd, 4th parties, as well as a side argument about him just to keep the thread up another day? Jeez. I see the trademarks within the slop like Fischer did in the commies' prearranged games. Honestly at this point I've just lost, you replaced everyone without me even noticing. There's not even a point of moving to traditional sports/strategy, you're the only poster here. I resign.

a yes pbt is the one who is arguing AGAINST going to tg makes sense

I didn't fuck up anything he just pretended he didn't see the data then moved the goalpost, bringing up a as /a/ as an example of threads per hour being a more important metric was one thing but after I showed him sp has few threads per hours he tried to pretend the conversation wad /vg/ vs /a/ the entire time
>implying he was the one who offered the challenge
ok looking back you are right on this one, I got carried away and didn't see his replies to the challenger but nothing was preventing him from taking up my challenge anyway

>>581385625
>not even a point of moving to traditional sports
you'd be able to tell which posts are catmixer's by the canadian flag instead of having to be ,somewhat undestandably, paranoid about every post
it's the main reason I want to move to /sp/ for the world championship and see how it goes from there

What openings and gambits do I need to be familiar with in order to play well?

>>581386124
this is actually true we should move just for the flags it’s the only way to permanently stop the samefaggery

you invented this /sp/ vs /tg/ dichotomy in your head you fucking retard
one, we're not moving to tg because that's pbt rhetoric
two, we're not moving to sp, or at least not anyone outside your discord, because that's losing people and for what? retard do you think bumping once every 12 hours is meaningfully different from bumping once every 6 hours?

your whole existence if confusing me for another anon and then falling back on YOURE PBT when you can't accept you're too stupid to tell anon1 from anon2

>that's not me retard
I wasn't claiming you posted 581348127 I was just showing you I didn't "invent this /sp/ vs /tg/ dichotomy in myhead" as you claimed idiot
as for the other two posts I linked they were 100% in reply to you
>two, we're not moving to sp, or at least not anyone outside your discord, because that's losing people and for what?
>every time you switch boards you lose people because that's the nature of switching boards unless 100% of people are in your discord
>even if you were right that only means you would only need to bump once every 12 hours instead of once every 6 hours
>retard do you think bumping once every 12 hours is meaningfully different from bumping once every 6 hours?
you have 0 deniability you just repeated the same things almost verbatim come on

>your whole existence if confusing me for another anon and then falling back on YOURE PBT when you can't accept you're too stupid to tell anon1 from anon2
funny given how I'm the one that got accused of being pbt an hour ago lol
can't you see how sp on flags would solve exactly this "you are x, no you are x, no you are y and he's z" insanity that has plagues this general?
>>
>>581391502
why would you lump together two different anons' arguments if you already know they're not the same anon??? fucking dishonest retard
and you WILL have to necrobump your sp thread when the offseason is over you retard, just don't tell me I didn't warn you

flags doesn't solve shit thanks to the numerous proxies around these days the troons and jeets use for their "raids" on here
there's basically no one left here for you to fight over for your thread war anyway

>>581391652
>why would you lump together two different anons' arguments if you already know they're not the same anon??
I wasn't' aware that "muh offseason" retard and "sp is too" fast retard where different' people until now and how could I?it was all one long reply chain using both arguments
I knew you were the one who made the "discord accuations out of nowhere"and the "12 hours false claim" posts only because you repeated them 1 to 1 but I had no possible way of knowing that you were also the "muh off season" retard(do I really have to tap the fucking sign again?ffs >>581358026) as well, guess you are even more RETARDED than I thought congrats
See? flags would help keeping which RETARD is which straight
>>581392036
>numerous proxies around these days
most of proxies and vpns are blocked, I'm sure some aren't but the extra effort required might help tone down both the samefagging and the paranoia about it, it's worth a try

fuck off retard troll faggot you're been trolling the thread for HOURS for no reason except you being a bitch GO TO THE SP THREAD if you care so much you can be among your kind there

Get better reaction time. Make moves with your intuition unless you sense the position absolutely needs calculation

Do NOT fall for the asian alternatives to chess meme (shogi xiangqi go etc)
Most of their popular apps have an option to pay for an AI move. Not kidding.
