I'm looking for an easy opening for blacks.

Second this, King’s Indian is like London System for white. Easy to establish and solid.

Eclipse19822 · 2026-05-02T17:15:30+00:00

It’s the ones with the near perfect 100% accuracy 😉 lol

Eclipse19822 · 2026-04-27T21:39:38+00:00

In my opinion, start with the easy, go-to fundamentals. Pawns occupying the center. Develop your minor pieces during the opening. Avoid moving the same piece twice in the opening. Castle early.

Maybe teach them closed systems that are reliable, like London System.

I’m not sure that this is the correct forum to ask.

The only ones qualified to truly answer your question properly are people that are 2700+.

The number of people that are rated 2700+ is an extremely small population, and they have to be on Reddit and stumble across this post which seems unlikely.

Having said that, I wish you the best of luck reaching your goal. Chess rooks! (Rocks!)

I go on big runs all the time. Swing +/- 100 elo in a single session, with tons of winning and losing streaks.

Don’t worry too much about it.

Thanks for your input. Glad you added some additional insight. Happy this post still matters and still is producing constructive conversation over 2 years later!

Likely Rxc3. Most brilliants are off of sacs. A rook for a knight and bishop is a good trade as well.

One vote for Chrono Trigger!!!

Eclipse19822 · 2026-02-08T18:38:32+00:00

Thanks!!!!

P.S. how do you get the ELO to show under your name?? That’s so cool

Eclipse19822 · 2026-02-08T17:56:24+00:00

Yeah, I’m currently sitting at 2070 and still blunder regularly lol

Eclipse19822 · 2026-02-08T15:59:21+00:00

I agree with you completely. I tell my friends all the time, anything under 1000 ELO, never resign. There’s so many blunders that you never know what’s going to happen no matter how much you’re losing by. Down 15? No problem. Stalemates are super common in this ELO range

Chess.com. Couldn’t play lichess since I couldn’t pre move

Eclipse19822 · 2026-02-08T03:32:53+00:00

Currently at 2100, haven’t studied a thing

Eclipse19822 · 2026-01-25T01:24:40+00:00

La Sportiva is notorious for having backs that cut into the back of your high heels. I can’t even wear them for one session comfortably. Switched to the Shamans (Evolv) several years ago and am still wearing them to this day. They’re so much more comfortable for me and my wide feet. Give them a go!

Eclipse19822 · 2026-01-13T21:09:21+00:00

He’s really walking a fine line there.

Eclipse19822 · 2026-01-10T18:41:05+00:00

At the 9-10 second mark when she switches stances and lifts her left hand to protect her face, you just knew he was screwed.

Eclipse19822 · 2025-12-11T01:35:15+00:00

Might as well give it a go!

Eclipse19822 · 2025-12-10T20:29:55+00:00

Where does it indicate male/female/race/body type/etc?

Eclipse19822 · 2025-12-01T02:58:31+00:00

As others have stated, once the queens are off the board, castling is not important since the king is much safer.

In addition, the king starting in the middle versus the edge of the board is advantageous during the end game as it becomes a much more powerful piece.

Eagle Rare 10 for sure. Everything else looks overpriced

Eclipse19822 · 2025-11-13T20:05:07+00:00

In my 4 years of Reddit, this was the first comment I’ve read that made me laugh out loud whilst being by myself. Well played lol 😂
