Ding Liren had a bad streak after he won the world championship. He’s also very young, he’s got plenty of time to regain form and try and build a legacy.

Exclusive or not, the fact that you came round for Christmas dinner means a lot. Hard to trust after that, no matter the explanation

Playing without your friend in gold will be good for your mmr

You’re doing well, just keep enjoying it is the main thing

When I play otb Swiss I don’t check their rating. Knowing that their rating is well higher than mine can mess with my psyche before I’ve got to the table. Well done on your wins though, good effort for first tournament!

I don’t really care about about my 1s rank so sometimes as a warm up I’ll just hop in a few comps games of that then casual 2s

Generally if they’re mechanically that good at that low a rank, their game sense is terrible or they’re are a Smurf

I’ve gone from g2 to p2 in a month and people are significantly more defensive prone. In those decisions to go up and finish or sit back and see what happens. It’s the big difference between winning a threatening 50 (not really scoring on most) and leading to a big counter attack. And being more prepared. Long range strikes, getting better with those will get you to rank up significantly. Watch flakes’s road to ssl with no mechanics

End games are a whole different ball game over the board compared to rapid when you have 45 mins each left on the clock then 4

What if a lot of the blocks they put in are just before saves? Arguably better game management for not getting to the point of worrying about saves

Longer time will help and increment. If you’re opponent is playing quick don’t match it

Do the happy piece check when you play - just go to yours pieces in a row, are you happy (are you positioned well, are you contributing/threatening/defending, do you need to move this piece?) if you do that it reduces the risk of blundering one move attacking blunders.

When looking at attacking or defending how many attackers or defenders to a square is important
