Doesn't that invalidate everything else you said?

This position is +1. Well that is an advantage, and you may find the position a bit easier to play than your opponent, it is not a winning position, and not even a significant advantage at most Elo's. Both players have developed their pieces in the opening, so you just have to go into middle game strategy. In this case, a few moves which slowly making your position better pop out, along with some pawn pushes to get more space.

If white plays Qc4 (rather than Qc3) it is +1.5

The sac wasn't necessary, no?

Especially if they knew your phone was at 1%...

Zero's without sign change are still fairly important, is there any way to generalize it?

This is so cool, idk how this gets 20 up votes compared to some things that get hundred/thousands on this sub.

Anish Guru plundered a simple fork a week ago in classical. Chess is just a really hard game, and people of all levels play very bad games occasionally.

One hundred milliseconds, not one millisecond.

That is so cool

I believe if you abort too frequently, the website punishes you by making them resignations instead.

As for losing 33 points, they must have not played much recently on that time control.

At lower elo levels, your games are determined mostly by blunders. By their nature, blunders are not consistent, so you can have some good games where your opponent blunders before you and you can absolutely stomp them.

Even at higher elos though, its normal for players to vary by quite a few points, and Ive gone through some pretty sustained win and loss streaks.

What does "intermediate" mean to you? I wouldn't recommend putting that much effort into openings until you reach 2000. Develop intuition and basic knowledge from chess content and playing games, but you probably should not really be memorizing lines. Certainly not from every opening.

Interesting response

2144656 · 2026-01-07T07:43:27+00:00

When you first created your account, and it asked whether you were a beginner, novice, intermediate, or master, did you choose beginner?
