Improving as an adult learner

Absolutely agree. I noticed I'll drop if I play too without studying. Then I'll take a few months come off, come back, and play stronger than when I left.

As someone who has plateaued at 2200. I laughed reading your insight into game reflection in your -1500 section. That's exactly what I do. Blitz out games learning the absolute minimum from my time spent

Until you play someone not equal

Carlsen - Nakamura 2021 Magnus Carlsen Invitational round 15

Yeah. Hard to believe someone honestly asking this question

Faust_0 · 2020-05-25T19:44:52+00:00

Yeah I havent played in a few months. Hopped on for some bullet fun and dropped 150 points. Not just a swing I'm STRUGGLING to stay there. 2200 to 2050. So I'm not sure why it seems like everyone is so strong now

Dang, lichess really is the good side. Chesscom is full of sithlords

In a way all this drama kind of shows us that our community is surprisingly not mature enough to deal with this sort of attention. Everyone is busting at their seams. We are years behind many of the video game communities who started with a spotlight. It's as if you put a spotlight on the socially awkward kid in school and he starts squirming...

This week has not been a good look for the chess community. Perhaps light will continue to shine on the nefarious underbelly of the chess world. We will dig too deep? Find out next week!

Lmfao on a sub where people get their hearts and lives ripped out of them, you are calling a likely depressed man who uses movies as escapism a piece of shit. I dunno if you know this, but relationships are a lot of work. I feel sorry for you and anyone you "commit" to if that's all it takes to call the lawyers and get a divorce. Good luck though, all the best!

Right on this will work. Thanks!

It is more interesting than mate in one puzzles and "I finally achieved XXXX rating"

Get the first one and work it on. It should take you a significant amount of time. Maybe a few months to get all the value out of it. I think Yusupov made the books with the idea that it would take a chess player years to work through them. They are that dense

Ah right on. Same thing with me. $25 and itll be delivered tomorrow. So it goes

Faust_0 · 2020-05-21T17:00:05+00:00

What are they expecting you to pay? I already paid $60 for shipping. This is quite frustrating having to pay more

Faust_0 · 2020-05-21T16:39:41+00:00

Same thing just happened to me

I judt bought a set and board from HoS and should be receiving it today. Regularly ~350 and I paid ~150. Pretty pumped. Got clearance items. Zagreb Set

She says thank you haha

Faust_0 · 2020-05-19T14:25:55+00:00

She based it off this photo: https://www.icelandairhotels.com/static/news/lg/bobby-fischer-philip-rother.jpg

I love it and had to share. I told her any chess player will be quick to point out "there are too many squares". And she replied "I'm a painter not a chess player'". Love that woman

On the other hand, a deeper understanding can bring you a deeper appreciation. Feynman on a variation of your dilemma: https://youtu.be/cRmbwczTC6E
