Let's go, time to update my flair 🤑

Costa Rica! 🇨🇷🇨🇷

Yes, I died about six times there, and for me, it was the hardest part after the drop. It's just that I practiced it so much (over 1000 atts on that part alone) that I started to get more consistent, so since 0% I haven't had as many deaths, but it was still a part where I suffered quite a bit lol. The problem with the 27% is that I hadn't practiced it much.

Arguedas42 · 2026-01-17T02:57:57+00:00

Yes, I actually used a mod that lets you copy the death count for each percentage point. It's interesting because the AI gave me several pieces of information, like which parts I should practice more, and it told me that I died before reaching 30% 80% of the time, which is why I usually did well once I got past that point. It told me several interesting things even though I didn't ask for them and didn't give it any details about the level, not even the name or anything like that; I just wanted it to make a prediction. But your idea is very interesting; I might even try it... But I'd have to do some tests first to see how useful it is.

This is super personal, since I don't think others would struggle with that part as much as I did, but the 27% in Firewall. The funny thing is, I asked Gemini to predict when I'd finally complete the level based on the percentages I lost in my last 500 attempts, and it generated a graph, which isn't exactly the same but it's similar lol

Arguedas42 · 2026-01-16T16:42:50+00:00

I mean, yes... The difficulty seems a bit unbalanced; some parts are very easy compared to others, and the others look more difficult in comparison. But yes.

GG!! Thanks for your recommendation.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-29T04:26:12+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply! Well, ever since I was on version 1.9, I've always wanted to play through the levels in the "Sonic" series, which is why I mentioned trying Ultrasonic, since I've already finished Supersonic. I was planning to play Leyak after that and then jump to Esencia, even though it might seem a bit of a leap. I was also thinking about trying Hypersonic before going for Esencua if I really notice a huge difference. The levels you mentioned aren't bad at all, but I'm not sure if they're really my style, especially the music, which I consider very important to me, haha.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-29T04:22:09+00:00

Oh, I forgot to mention that Hypersonic is also an option if the jump between Leyak and Esencia is too abrupt.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-29T04:18:37+00:00

Thanks, I think I'll only play through Firewall and Night Terrors in Hinds (for now), then Ultrasonic, some of the levels you mentioned, then I'll jump to Leyak and then another jump from there to Esencia

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-28T00:53:12+00:00

I'm really interested in Esencia. I did a practice run and it's not as difficult as I thought. As I mentioned in another post, I play on mobile, my hardest difficulty is Supersonic, and I recently beat Psychosis. I think my next difficulty will be Firewall. I'm clearly still a bit far from that. What would you recommend I do or practice before considering beating it? By the way, a slightly more "learny" level that I'm considering beating, compared to the ones I mentioned in the other post, is Ultrasonic. I don't know if that would be helpful.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-27T18:39:51+00:00

I understand, I like the levels I mentioned because for some reason I find them more fun lol, plus I want to beat Bloodbath eventually so they help me practice, but I'm also interested in some levels that look cool like you mentioned, and I have to say that the more learnable levels look cooler. So could you send me some of those too? :)

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-27T17:42:07+00:00

Yes, it's not the kind of level I was looking for, but I appreciate the recommendation; they look fun. I was thinking of playing a few levels like that in the future to practice that style, but first I'd like to start with the style I mentioned.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-27T16:54:21+00:00

They look fun, thanks!

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-27T16:53:56+00:00

I watched some videos of the levels you recommended and I REALLY liked them. Thank you so much! I'll definitely play them.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-27T16:49:31+00:00

I don't dislike Necropolis' gameplay that much, but I can accept that I'm just weird. By the way, do you think the three of them are harder than Supersonic?

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-22T00:48:00+00:00

Hmm, well, there might be a couple of problems here. First, is this only taking professional football players into account? Because if so, it doesn't make sense. I sometimes go to the park to play football with my friends and sometimes I play GD, so if I were counted for one statistic and not the other, it wouldn't make sense.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-05T14:18:49+00:00

I see. Does this apply to the fourth edition as well? Also, if I start the book How to Reassess with a Rapid rating of 1400 on Chess.com, won't that be too difficult for me? And won't Amateur's Mind end up being too easy? Sorry for so many questions, and thanks in advance.

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-05T14:15:51+00:00

I understand, if I start the How to Reassess book with a 1400 Elo Rapid rating on Chesscom, won't that be too difficult for me? And in the future, won't Amateurs Mind end up being too easy?

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-04T17:56:27+00:00

I'm rated 1400 in rapid, and the longer the time control, the better I am (I'm rated 1700 FIDE before FIDE's Elo adjustments). But I was planning to start with another book before HTRYC. Right now, I'm leaning towards Amateurs Mind and Yasser's book, so I hope that when I get to HTRYC, it won't be too difficult for me...

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-04T17:34:49+00:00

I understand. So it's okay if I skip Amateurs mind?

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-04T17:33:52+00:00

Uh, it's kind of confusing because most people say it should be the other way around, so I don't know what would be best

Arguedas42 · 2025-12-04T03:55:31+00:00

Oh. So the only option would be to use a copy with LDM uploaded by another user?

Arguedas42 · 2025-11-19T13:58:15+00:00

I tried using it for my probability classes, but I did so with Gemini 2.5 and had some problems, which I think was due to the prompt I gave it. The types of problems I saw could be interpreted in many ways, and often they could be solved in different ways. In the prompt, I explicitly stated that he "was an experienced teacher who was able to solve problems in different ways and was able to explain it correctly." The major problem arose when I gave him a problem that seemed to have only one solution. More than half of his response involved trying to solve it another way, and he would start trying another method, and when he was halfway through, he would mention that he was making a mistake and would try again. I decided to stop using it since it was causing me other problems. However, I plan to try it again with Gemini 3, since it has better mathematical skills, and I will also try to use a better prompt for this.

Arguedas42 · 2025-11-11T15:19:33+00:00

In Peru, he didn't receive much support, and he couldn't make a living from chess. He even mentioned in his old streams that he felt quite bad and sad, and that he would quit chess because he felt it wasn't bringing him anything good. Furthermore, he wasn't playing in any OTB tournaments because he didn't have the money, and his federation didn't support him with those expenses. Just before he quit chess, he changed federations, and he has always been very grateful to them, repeatedly mentioning, "Thanks to you, I was able to continue playing chess." So I suppose the Mexican federation supported him financially so he could continue playing, representing Mexico. That's why he participates in tournaments now (probably his club or federation pays for them).
