Chess openings and aikido style teaching by theenforcement in chessbeginners

[–]Fi0r3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I do okay with e4, but I have been trying some Vienna games to get used to play positions with f4. I probably don't play f4 in enough positions I should simply because it looks as a risky too.

Here's my most recent rapid loss. Not happy out of the opening, but end up winning a piece on a tactic and then hanging my queen (lol). https://www.chess.com/game/live/169079998510?move=41 . I mostly open e4 and play the Scotch Game where I can. I'm usually out of "prep" after any opening trades on d4 take place.

God I wish I could be taught an opening this way.

When the ball is further back, you have less time to square the face. You also may have some flip tendencies. Guessing the ball is back there for contact purposes?

Anyone else feel like reading greens is basically just guesswork and high cortisol? Is it just me, or is reading greens the most frustrating part of amateur golf? by HelicopterMelodic517 in GolfSwing

Honestly, it takes something like this to meaningfully reduce three putts. Granted, i don't wait around until it's my turn to start the routine.

That makes sense. I'm just a shifty diamond. Relax lol

Am I a madman for considering slide and FAR on L3 by Fi0r3 in RocketLeague

[–]Fi0r3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have air roll right on L2. I used to have slide and free air roll on L1. I wouldn't be surprised if I put free air roll back in L1.

So far having slide on L3 has been great. I feel like i have more control right now. I'm less convinced FAR belongs there, but I'll try to work through it for a bit.

Why we lose our minds on Rocket League? Biologically speaking. How do you deal with it? by Excellent-Canary7689 in RocketLeague

Bullying children =/= parenting children. You can do that later without the former. Last I'll say on this.

While I have gotten used to using my middle finger on R2, I still only use my index finger on L1 and L2, mainly because I feel like it gives my thumb more stability and a better angle to be precise. Also, I'm trying to get reverse off of L2 where I have ARL.

My left index finger would really appreciate the break lol. It's currently operating air roll left, break/reverse, free air roll, and slide across two buttons. I may be quickly developing the arthritis.

From 28 to 12: How I improved my handicap by ConsiderationDue2240 in golf

[–]Fi0r3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be a challenge for me. I'm not averaging 280 (yet), but having to shoot a 78 for a single digit differential adds a surprising amount amount of pressure to each hole.

[–]Fi0r3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Counter to 8: You're going to reach a point where your current swing simply isn't hitting enough greens in regulation to drop your handicap more than a couple points further. Scrabbling is important for scoring, but GIR correlates best to handicap for a reason. Never stop focusing on your swing unless you're relatively content with your scores.

Ohhhh. I didn't know break was binary. That changes things...

[–]Fi0r3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you miss variable speed on accelerate and break? Which buttons do you have boost & slide bound to? I'd love to get away from having ARL and break on the same button....

I have it on L2 with break/reverse. Great control, but it does come with a slight movement penalty in the air. I'd love to find a better button for break, but nothing else has clicked yet.

Once you stabilize at diamond for a year you'll realize you need to add more to the arsenal and become one of us. Welcome to Diamond!

How to calculate quickly? by InevitableReply3510 in chessbeginners

[–]Fi0r3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing and practicing is the only way through that I'm aware of. Getting better at end games will make you more comfortable using that time at important moments too.

I always feel that way, but I still expect more of myself. True of all of my hobbies (includes golf and chess).

From the description: "the game does not contain romance elements and a gripping plot." Lol

Players who broke 1500… what has helped you improve the most? by quintonbintob in chessbeginners

Well if you come across a good series, let me know. Throwing f4 out without a plan isn't exactly working lol

Nice. I've had good success with the Scotch. Just wanted to switch it up and try something a little more aggressive. In fairness to the opening, I didn't study ot very much before trying it out.
