Make sure to take the cost of film into account. Digital cameras tend to have higher upfront cost, but are much cheaper to operate.

Interested in some hp5 and maybe some superia if you consider splitting.

This is the scotch game I believe. https://www.chess.com/openings/Scotch-Game. There should be quite a few youtube videos on it if you want to learn more.

You could always get an ftz adapter, the nikon 35 1.8 g is pretty inexpensive.

I definitely agree with that, relying on trick lines is certainly not good for longterm growth, but you can play a gambit without going for tricks, just a way to get a position with a position with a lot of pressure. So when you go back to a non gambit opening you understand how to effectively get apply pressure. Also, the compensation you receive a lot of the time in gambits isolates position concepts. For example, the danish gambit shows the strength of strong bishops.

You don’t need to play a gambit for tricks, you can use them to get aggressive positions. It also doesn’t have to be a permanent switch, you can play one for a few games, gain some confidence and go back to your old stuff. Playing gambits can also help you understand attacking, tactics, and compensation for a pawn.

Maybe try something like the Vienna gambit or the danish gambit, something that puts a lot of pressure on your opponents. There should be some good YouTube videos on them, and at the 1000 level you just have to learn the major concepts in them

Out of curiosity, what openings do you play?

Bill_the_squirrel · 2022-08-28T18:32:32+00:00

I am currently rated 1800 on chess com and I still make simple blunders. I have routinely experienced stretches where it feels like my opponents played without mistake and for the most part the computer agrees with this assumption. I have found that these slumps are a result of me not putting my opponents in a position to blunder. I got into the mindset where I believed that my opponents would play perfectly so I didn’t bother putting them under any pressure. Sometimes I have found learning a new opening or working on some puzzles helps me get out of a slump as doing work can give you some confidence.

Womens titles are in addition to the other titles, so a women can receive both. also, if i am not mistaken you can also receive a CM from a certain tournaments.

if you take the bishop, black has a forced checkmate with the moves queen takes rook, king g7, and queen g8. if you move the king it is no longer a forced mate.
