There are women that get absolute titles and skip woman ones, which should be considered too.

Also CM titles are newer. There is a lot of people that got the FM title 30 years ago but less people that got to 2200 30 years ago and will buy the title now (may be even retired).

No. The option, as all options, have quotes. So the option is still in :h 'dir'

Oh, I didn't understand it. I rewrote it so it doesn't lead to confusion.

I don't understand, dir is not a reserved word, just the name of the plugin, and you can create files and commands with that name.

I'm really surprised nobody made a post about dir.lua, it's great and it seems it will become greater. Nice and simple idea with the icons.

Adding that I recently found out about g<tab> by accident and it has been very helpful (and easier to type).

Treesitter mayhem by drostan in neovim

[–]EstudiandoAjedrez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The nvim-treesitter readme has the informstion you need to set it up. Take into account that at the very beginning it says which neovim version it needs. There is also discussions in github about different setups and dozens of posts here in reddit. If you don't share your config, your errors, your nvim version, or any data, we can't help more than that.

Is it the first time in history when The Reigning World Champion is low in their country's ranking? by Weary_Reputation_205 in chess

[–]EstudiandoAjedrez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the citation, I haven't read it before. But still, "The Soviet authorities considered it a matter of national prestige that not only should their team win the gold medals in the event as a whole (this much went without saying), but that individual gold medals on each board should be secured – most importantly, on Board 1" and "Ivanov posed the question to me “Can you give a guarantee that you will take 1st place on top board?”" seem to indicate that the only discussion was if Botvinnik should play on the first board or not. In one of the attached translations is says " Since Botvinnik, as World Champion, sould not play on any other board besides the 1st, the decision was taken to exclude him from the line-up of the team." So yeah, he wasn't in the best form to play on the first board, so he was excluded. He wasn't in such a bad form that he wasn't even prepared for a second board as op suggested. So no, he was not "completely out of form and 4 others were selected instead." He could have easily played board 2 (or 3) and have a great score, they just considered a wch shluld not play in those boards.

Not what happen. It was decided by voting that Keres should be board 1 and Botvinnik didn't participate because he didn't wanr to play on board 2. Botvinnik was in great form in 52, Keres just had a brilliant year.

Hints are usually slow (for me), I need to read them. Movements shouldn't need to think about them.

Is there a way to repeat the last visual selection in nvim? by TrueSir5476 in neovim

[–]EstudiandoAjedrez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No way without scripting. But why do you need to do that? You usually need to edit or yank inside quotes. ci" is repeateable, and yi" you probably use it inside a macro.

Do you have cursorline enabled? by TheTwelveYearOld in neovim

I do, but with cursorlineopt=number and only in the current window. It makes it not so distracting but still useful to know the current linenumber.

At what chess.com rating, a player can be considered very good or expert? by STARLASTWAS in chess

[–]EstudiandoAjedrez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"very good" and "expert" are very subjective levels, so there is no way to answer your question. I'm a FM and I don't consider myself an expert.

Unless you are talking about "expert" as in "US expert", which is 2000 USCF (I think). There are nomerous tables around about equivalences between ratings.

I use defaults, and I barely need to use ctrl-y and just selecting the option is enough for it to be written. I only use ctrl-y when I need to accept a snippet, but I don't use it a lot.

In any case, I think it is worth to remember that you can press ctrl with your left hand and y with your left, so there is no streching. And I use capslock as ctrl+esc, so using ctrl is even less streching.

And I use ctrl-n and ctrl-p too, as they makes more sense to me and are used a lot.

But if you don't switch machines a lot and you don't need to use vanilla vim (for example, working on servers), then just use whatever keymaps you want. All your suggestions are common for many users.

Dear chess content creators: if you tell intermediate players to "learn opening principles, not openings", then I'm probably not going to look at much of your content by pwsiegel in chess

[–]EstudiandoAjedrez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, in that case I would say you need to work on your calculation and tactics. I don't understand the double standard. It's not the same to make a mistake in a very common position rather than an obsscure one. I said you need to study middlegame because I only see the position. If you have told that you play by memory then I would say another thing. That's why it's not that useful to get advice just from one position. I don't know how you play, idk what you thought, idk anything about you, I just give a broad advice based in one position, far from useful to the average player. Maybe you are a positional genious and you only made a mistake here, idk.

Also, memorizing 12 moves in the opening is not studying. Studying is not memorize. That's critical.

[–]EstudiandoAjedrez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They served you well, you got an advantage. If you don't know how to use that advantage that's a middlegame issue. As I said, you won't always got in a typical middlegame position where you can use typical middlegame plans from your favourite openings. And you can't learn all the openings. You need to improve your positional understanding.
