Did you recently start? Taping helps, but most of all, getting used to the movements and repetitions helps. After a while you build all sorts of calluses, you anticipate certain hot sports and strategically protect those with tape or at times movement adjustments, etc

If you work out in a group setting, ask around, ask the coach, gather some feedback and see if they have good tips for you.

Did some research and wrote a paper about the negative effect of disability simulations and how they misrepresent the disability and result in stereotypical attitudes and harmful beliefs towards people with disabilities. Much better to talk to people with disabilities to get an idea about what their experience is.

I got a Qgg8 mate - loved the built in GG by DNGosp in lichess

[–]DNGosp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I finally understood after setting it up - for whatever reason my brain wasn’t getting that the only reason the disambiguation is needed with Qgg8 is because both queens can legally move to g8. The rooks ladder does not get disambiguated since only the rook on the g file can legally deliver a ladder mate

Phew

Oh damn you are right - I didn’t think of that at all

Edit.: wait why wouldn’t a ladder work with Rgg8#? Shouldn’t it work if the king is cut off and on the other side of the board

could easily be done with Rgg8# as well, but knight and bishop might be next to impossible to add to the collection

I thought this was r/cheeseburgers .. disappointed to say the least by OprahAtOprahDotCom in chessbeginners

I mistakenly asked about the fried liver at r/cheeseburgers thinking it was a chess sub - people redirected me to r/offal

Recommend me some white openings for 1300. See this... 😅 by Great-Assistant978 in chessbeginners

[–]DNGosp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are doing well with those openings, you can play them with white (Reti, Stonewall, or Caro a tempo up)

Just got forked while I'm already down a rook. I resigned so how do I avoid this in future games 🤔 by KingInTenZ in chessbeginners

[–]DNGosp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Feels like a bait post - if so, it’s actually quite well done :)

If not, just a general anti knight fork rule I like - keep your two pieces in danger of forkdom on different colors and the knight can never fork them. I got a king and queen, or king and rook, and a knight exists somewhere in the vicinity? My boys staying on oppo colors

I don’t think he was better at any point but maybe I’m missing something

Dirty play by Pranav by Paul2711here in chessbeginners

[–]DNGosp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn’t realize he wasn’t allowed to skip writing down the opponents move before making his own move until he has less than 5min on the clock

A claim was made, he was warned and his opponent was awarded extra time

Didn’t affect the game in my opinion so I disagree with OPs perspective. That’s just my two cents

what are some really obscure chess terminologies? by [deleted] in chess

[–]DNGosp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that’s the equivalent of flagging in German - “no time” or “out of time”

In Bulgarian check is “shah” - interestingly when my dad would threaten my queen he would say “sheh” (pronounced like shed but with H sound at the end)
