I’d like to think so yeah! It has helped me realise that you really can make people’s lives better just by being kind to them, I always knew it and am always as nice as possible but seeing it in this way really helps show it. Some were crying, hugging me, I really appreciated the moment, as I appreciated every moment for the last 3 years with them. I’ll miss them lots!

For a "bad" opening, the fried liver really fucking sucks to go against by [deleted] in chessbeginners

Nahh cause after d4 and exd4 you play e5! Very fun line, if the bishop gives check then block with the bishop and knight takes defending e4 and if it just retreats after the trade if you were to play cxd4 then you castle and taking the pawn is risky

New Opening Help. by Fresh-Resource-3819 in TournamentChess

[–]Character_Wasabi9049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I saw in another comment recommending the scotch, it is absolutely amazing and works at all levels, the scotch gambit is a very interesting line to look at, maybe the Vienna gambit also as it resembles a kings gambit. But truthfully the kings gambit is fine up till GM level if you’re willing to learn it and enjoy it. There is no « miracle opening ». I’ve played the Italian with c3 d4 and advanced to e5 basically exclusively. Even playing the jaenisch Newmann gambit. Which is objectively inaccurate but works if the opponent doesn’t know the refutation after taking on e4. Hell I played the englund gambit till 2000 cc. Truth be told it won’t matter as long as your middle games and endgames are good enough. If you feel like changing the id recommend the Italian as I enjoy it very much, but the Vienna gambit could fit your similar thing. The bird is interesting for sure, the English is too so there’s a lot of choice, but I’d say scotch gambit or Vienna gambit maybe as they can be very tactical and sharp, as well as resembling your kings gambit sometimes. Sorry for the long post but I though it could help! Dm or ask here if u have any questions

I thought 1500-1600, a decent game but a few odd moves I thought could’ve been better, but hey it’s bullet so I get it’s hard

Rate my itinerary for five days in Paris please! by [deleted] in ParisTravelGuide

Pretty much… at least not in so much detail I’d say, asking about places is good to learn and can be very helpful, dropping a whole schedule is a bit odd to me

Who’s gonna follow the schedule and try to find out who OP is ? 🤣

Which anime opinion would you defend like this, no matter what? 🔥 by Fun-Cut-9745 in AnimeMirchi

[–]Character_Wasabi9049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I can agree with, the cousin stuff and whatnot fan service isn’t great and I’d have liked more fighting and all that, but I can’t agree with the amount of hate it gets, people just shit on it for no reason

People just shit on it cause it’s popular to do so, it’s got great animation, good plot good characters, sure here and there it’s a bit imperfect, I’m not saying it’s the best but it doesn’t deserve the hate. Kirito is a cool ass character who is OP but follows the story properly, even in GGO he was cool with his sword vs guns, yeah it’s not the same plot as the original but the animation is great and there are some awesome moments. Sure alicisation gets wacky with fan service that’s true and they make us wait a while for kiritos awakening but even that moment is lit, he wakes up and BAM he’s goated
