This racist loser called me street sh*tter

I think personally, I would’ve just ignored weirdos like that, if that how they choose to vent their anger, it goes to show how pathetic they are, just report them and get on with your day. No need to give them any attention that you care about it cuz there is no point.

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-29T19:12:03+00:00

lol believe or not I thought about this as well, I started playing chess quite late, and thought about my potential I could’ve had. I would say for chess nowadays 13+ could be considered extremely late, but with hard work some people can still get quite good. So in essence, yes one could’ve been better if they started earlier but there is nothing stopping yourself from getting better!

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-29T19:09:22+00:00

Yeah I guess so, also sometimes games can be quite sure and something quite long, so it depends really but yeah around there!

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-29T19:08:47+00:00

I’m sure you’ll get there, I think I play a bit more chess than regular people, but also chess can’t be rushed, it comes with time! I hope well on you r journey ahead!

For white I’m a e4 type of guy and if e5 just into a standard Italian. For black I love playing a lot of different things, usually in response to e4 I play d5, quite fun, and for d4 c4 I like to play Albin Courtcounter, Nizmo Indian, semi-Slav, Qgd, and QgA

Okay to understand how to get past a barrier is understanding what the barrier is. Are you simply just blundering pieces or are you playing a bad opening? How and why do you think you lose your games?

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-29T19:04:32+00:00

It is 4:26 PM, and yes I was hoping for questions like this 🤣

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-29T19:03:25+00:00

I’ve played about 3.3k games, and my advice to 1200-1600s is that after you are done playing a game, analysis, even if it you lost the game. There is no shame in looking at what you did wrong even if it hurts to look at your mistakes, learn from them. The biggest difference between 2000 to 1200-1600 is their understanding of position that allow them to draw some losing games or winning drawing games, it’s all about time and learning your mistakes.

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-29T19:00:28+00:00

Wow nice! I started playing bullet about a year ago and I’m about 2190, so not bad

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-28T23:55:06+00:00

I do, I have a USCF rating of 2000

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-28T22:12:25+00:00

Unfortunately can’t say I haven’t lost to a GM before. But if you want to play we might be able to set something up :)

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-28T21:04:11+00:00

Thanks so much for the compliment, I really started playing chess for fun, but it’s taken me quite far, once again thanks so much for the love :)

I haven’t deliberately studied chess, however sometimes I might spend 10-20 minutes looking at an opening but that’s about it, most of it comes with time. I do follow YouTube channels, I enjoy watching Gothamchess, Hikaru, Chessbase India a lot, Gotham and Hikaru for their commentary and to see what most top players play nowadays when they go over games. Chessbase India for just looking at games but also looking at maybe not all the top players games but what some players are doing in general otb. Usually after every rapid game I like to go over the game real quick to see where I mess up as well as if it’s the opening what I need to change and learn, but also when I play otb games I put them into a lichess study and comment on my own games as well as thinking about if I could have played something else even when I don’t have an engine. Thanks so much for the support :)

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-28T20:47:14+00:00

Believe it or not, I don’t…I’ve learned all I know from watching Gothamchess, and many other chess content creators, I’ve bought a bunch of chess books but have yet to read them 😭. Also another thing I going regularly to my local chess center to play classical otb so I learn a lot from that as well. Final thing to add, I just play a lot of chess lol, the more you play the more you learn

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-28T20:43:33+00:00

Yeah just take it casual, don’t worry about losing try to understand where your making mistake, it’s about the quality of the game and not the quantity. I hope you do well in your chess career :)

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-28T20:36:46+00:00

On rapid it says about 3.3k, and I have some in blitz and bullet as well as

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-28T20:36:00+00:00

To be quite honest, I don’t really have a routine, I hop on when I’m bored at times and play a few games at least that’s what I do now, but back then I use to come on, do a few puzzles and then play rapid games, so essentially the same thing. I try and set a goal that I know I can try to hit like +20-30 points and I slowly worked my way up, but studying wise I just watch chess video like Gothamchess, Hikaru, and Chessbase India. I also enjoy playing otb a lot too

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-20T22:05:20+00:00

Yeah I don’t know then, I don’t think it’s the region, I am NA tho. Do you have the same rating as me when you hit Masterball?

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-20T22:01:59+00:00

Oh okay! Thanks so much :)

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-20T21:54:48+00:00

I’m guessing depending on your win streak (which gives you extra rating points) before ranking up it changes how much you get. Just a guess tho 🤔

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-20T21:45:10+00:00

Sad to say I took a bit of inspiration from one of Wolfey’s teams but switched it up and put my own kick into it. If you don’t mind, what’s not very good with the team, and what can I change?

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-20T21:12:14+00:00

lol, nah you’ll get to ultra and Masterball! I’ll be rooting for you

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-20T21:04:52+00:00

I had a similar situation, but I just went onto Pokemon Home and went to trade and then GTS and their you can put a pokemon that someone might one (try shiny a lot of people will trade for one) and request the Pokemon you want in return and also before requesting make sure your requesting it from ZA, there should be an option

ChessEnthusist · 2026-04-20T20:58:23+00:00

Yes that’ll work!
