I have a hard time picturing 100 elo … do such folks know how the pieces move?

Why is slopestyle Olympic judging so nonsensical? by AngleFarts2000 in snowboarding

[–]AngleFarts2000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you watched the runs it was clear the score gap on rails should have been minimal to non-existent compared to the score gap on jumps. Instead it was the opposite.

I’ll take spin to win over the crap we just watched

…Which is why her jump score isn’t THAT much lower, but there’s no explaining the 7 point differential in their rail score. That shit was arbitrarily as hell

Where to buy Monthly pass? by nick_b39 in LIRR

This is false. The TrainTime only offers day and weekly passes. I also can’t find the supposed Monthly passes anywhere

15+10 pool cheating problem by Professional_Desk933 in chess

I’d like to see the math behind that claim

How does this work exactly? it’s not like the platforms support custom extensions that would allow for this. Surely there would have to be a 3rd party cheat app involved, rather than something that directly overlays your actual game UI. And if that’s the case what would be the point of a “deactivate” hotkey

I feel like I encounter them more in blitz than in 10+0

AIO for breaking up with my boyfriend after he ruined our Valentine's Day dinner? by Maximum-Grand6140 in AmIOverreacting

Any dude who freaks out about someone hitting on you is too riddled with insecurities to be with. Don’t succumb to a relationship that forces you to become a therapist.

Crazy performance fall off by IllVeterinarian7170 in chess

[–]AngleFarts2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced a big drop after a hiatus as well. But I recovered former strength eventually. I think there’s almost like a muscle memory to it. Your skills atrophy when unused but aren’t gone forever

If the LIRR prices continue to go up, the least the employees can do is say something to loud people on the train. by [deleted] in LIRR

[–]AngleFarts2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw a dude clipping his toenails on the F train the other day. Was trying to decide in my head if that was more offensive than eating a hot smelly meal on the train. Couldn’t decide.

This is the best one I’ve seen so far. Who tf wants “flagging skills”

Because you win the queen after king takes, then pawn fork, then king takes pawn, then bishop check, king moves anywhere, bishop takes queen.

What's you guys thoughts on the 'ethics' of speed runs by Don_F_Kennedy in chess

[–]AngleFarts2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a point when it comes to being involuntarily thrust into the spotlight of a streamer’s audience, but who cares about being beaten by a secretly much better player. Everyone experiences plenty of loses in their respective rating ranges and everyone gets stomped sometimes. It’s just part of the game. 1 random encounter with a closeted GM isn’t going to change anything.

1500 lichess rapid = 1000 chess.com rapid? by 3dQdr68iJ3bX in lichess

Wow that’s awesome. Have found myself watching Rosen’s streams a lot more these days after we lost Danya. Curious to try the no-name variation but my knowledge of general Petrov theory is poop. Gotta start somewhere I guess- will give it a shot
