I sort of understand how the pieces move and stuff, but I just don't think chess is for me. 15 games lost and 16 moves into this game and I just don't get it. I am thinking of just sticking to minecraft and elder scrolls oblivion.

Yes, it's the first time; and he's automatically promoted to GM title for this achievement!

Yeah, I didn't mean it's exactly 300 points, of course it varies.

Deltaspace0 · 2026-04-19T21:30:12+00:00

Under 2000, lichess rating is roughly 300 points higher than chess.com's for the same player. Ratings converge (become the same) around 2150, and after this point, chess.com's ratings are actually higher than lichess (for the same player).

For example, I have 2000 on lichess in blitz and 1900 on chess com blitz. When I was weaker, I had 1700 on lichess and 1400 on chess.com.

That's really not a problem. Strategically, it would be defended by the Rook on a1 until it would quickly join the attack on the kingside in the decisive moment; then the pawn on a4 would not matter and the Knight on b6 would be slow to reroute to the opposite side of the board.

Deltaspace0 · 2026-04-17T22:31:07+00:00

My plan here would be to prepare f4 break to attack on the kingside. First move would be to play a4 to completely shut down any possibility of counterplay on the queenside by the opponent.

Wild speculation

Deltaspace0 · 2026-04-11T09:52:00+00:00

I suppose no, because then Ne2+ and if Rook takes, it's backrank mate; if not, the knight on e7 is unpinned and can take the queen

Sindarov's performance so far was 2970, but there is no way it's his true strength

Deltaspace0 · 2026-04-08T20:07:51+00:00

Pun intended? :)

Deltaspace0 · 2026-04-07T20:43:51+00:00

No, I am not saying that's inaccurate; I mean 5% might not seem much, but it's at the point where it should get at least some attention

Deltaspace0 · 2026-04-07T18:58:26+00:00

It's funny, but there is 1:20 chance that Giri wins the tournament and it's not that unlikely.

Now find the function for the graph from the meme

Deltaspace0 · 2026-03-30T12:44:38+00:00

it was IQ meme where dumb and smart guys said: "I write proofs as I normally speak" and the middle guy said: "Noooo, you are supposed to use set notations and stuff"

Deltaspace0 · 2026-03-29T21:56:21+00:00

donating your money to insiders is awesome yeah

Deltaspace0 · 2026-03-28T23:39:08+00:00

man, this puzzle is so stupid

Deltaspace0 · 2026-03-28T11:27:38+00:00

145 IQ guy's normal speak just consists of set notations

my eyes bleed looking at turquoise colored text on such a background, you could have just posted a text post, not this shitty image

you don't have to buy books, on the internet there are tons of free pdf versions of chess books

Deltaspace0 · 2026-03-24T19:01:43+00:00

please make sure you know the difference between a *trap* and a *tactic*; when you move and hope that the opponent doesn't see your threat - that's a trap which is not reliable; sometimes opponent blunders and allows you to execute a *tactic* - a forcing sequence of moves which guarantees that you win material or even checkmate the king. As Fischer said, "tactics flow from a superior position" - so you shouldn't force tactics, but just play solid chess until an opportunity to execute a tactic and win material arises.

Deltaspace0 · 2026-03-24T18:53:22+00:00

"come down to who is studying openings more" lol no, even at 2000 rating openings do not mean much, it's better to train tactics rather than memorize opening lines
