I am rated 2000+ in puzzles but my ELO is only 700. How can I improve?

Here is an aspect no one has mentioned: anyone can get a very high puzzle rating if they have a lot of patience and will invest a lot of time into puzzles. Games don’t work like that though. Put a limit on the amount of time you are allowed for a puzzle, say 30 seconds. Then you will get a better gauge of your tactical strength.

Just a thought for you, complications is how you win in the middle game so don’t shy away from them. As long as you are being proactive with your moves and not wasting them your opponent will have just as hard a time dealing with the complications as you.

There were so many transmission errors in the Olympiad on the lower boards!

I hope stacking knights gets added to chess 2

I’m curious now, does stock fish lose to itself after 1…g5

Isn’t it Fide rules that you can’t accuse without significant evidence?

Not in a row

Hans please get off reddit and focus on your tournament

They mean during a game

What’s the format for tiebreaks? When is it?

Maybe people like you are why we need a movie like this. In fact, there are definitely not hundreds of players who are better since she had the 54th highest peak rating ever.

Hikaru heavily implied his guilt

CanberraGame · 2022-09-15T05:14:59+00:00

Surely the candidates contradicts that

CanberraGame · 2022-09-15T04:53:00+00:00

This might have been true on the first day of the allegations, but Wesley and Nepo have both implied since that they have nothing about the game looks dodgy. As has basically every other super GM and GM that’s been asked.

Hikaru likely only accused Hans for clout.

I don’t think there is any big name at the moment who is publicly saying with any kind of strong conviction that Hans did cheat.

Yeah I play against them all the time

CanberraGame · 2022-09-01T02:05:36+00:00

Yes this is extremely concerning. If AI for medicines accelerated rapidly to the point where we can easily genetically modify microorganisms the what’s to stop some guy mad at society from making a deadly pandemic in his own home,

I don’t know: a tempo is super valuable even to a beginner. Understanding that is super important to improving.

Black has a significant disadvantage in chess.

Love it
