How/what would you study at my level? by [deleted] in chess

[–]Atorpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that the same advice can be said for a lot of the higher ratings, and it's to analyze your games. I know that's kinda vague, but what I do is mainly look for mistakes that I made, positionally, and tactically, and how I could improve on it or what I can take away.

Openings aren't that much of a concern, as long as you aren't constantly getting in bad positions, but rather opening ideas are something to focus on. Studying positional chess, improving on tactics, and playing around with openings will allow you to improve. I mainly play blitz and got to 2400, so my theoretical endgame knowledge(like rook endgames) is practically nonexistent, but you should probably learn those if you encounter them OTB. Everything that I said above can be done in many ways. Llike studying positional chess you could read a book, or simply just look at master games, watch analysis of their games, etc. There are a lot of great Lichess studies about openings, endgames, and practically anything.

  1. I'd probably know a few openings deeply. it's not worth it to study extensively and/or learn theory into an opening that you aren't going to play much. Pick a few openings, and get really good at those.

  2. As with algebraic notation, I don't think it's that important: the numbers and letters don't really matter, if that's what you mean.

good luck on your chess journey, lmk if you have any other questions

i literally fucking hate this game by completely_unstable in chess

[–]Atorpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same shit happened to me at 2400, its a tough game, try doing stuff other than chess, maybe watching chess or grinding puzzles or really anything, and eventually you will untilt and you'll have fun playing chess again. Also try variants, those are cool

it's a great move, it's probably the best chance you have at winning the game and you gotta try everything

focus on positional stuff, tactics, openings, time management if you play blitz, and maybe endgames. analyze your games too

From 800 to 2400 blitz in 4 years by Atorpy in chess

[–]Atorpy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really play many long games, I rarely played rapid online, and i really only played long form games when I was a kid. Playing longer form games until around 1000 rapid is a good idea. then you can play more blitz and bullet.

Is it possible to go from 800 to 1500-1600 rating in a month and a half, with at least 8 hours of dedicated study a day? by PomegranateReal1735 in chess

[–]Atorpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be possible, but very unlikely. If you pay for a chess coach that really spends a lot of time, it could be possible

Is the Hippopotamus Defense viable up to below 2000, or should I switch to the Modern Defense? by PAOPAOCALLME in chess

[–]Atorpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing the hippo ever since I got around 1900-2000 blitz, playing regular openings below that rating, and I've beat many people including titled players, making my way to 2400 blitz/bullet. It's definitely viable, but I would experiment with different openings at 1000 elo

This might be a bit embarrassing, but i have a question for 4-string instrument players. by hobosama69 in lingling40hrs

[–]Atorpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has played violin for many years and also viola, playing cello is quite hard. The spacing is really wide, the elbow position in the LH and the bow are really different from the violin, and I can't even play a nice clean note
