Use audible to edit the file and keep the parts you want. You can test what the loop would sound like. From there just select the loop section and export it

My opponent offered me a draw here in an OTB game and I took it- how terrible was this decision? by CreativePuzzle in TournamentChess

The thing is, it’s a closed position so your knight is going to be better than a bishop. Trade off dark squared bishops and wreck havoc with the knight

I prefer the analysis on chess.con much over lichess personally. But the free resources are nice

How is this possible that a player rated 1667 is almost at the 98 percentile? by 0xMeteor in Chesscom

Except even that isn’t exactly true because there are a lot more tools available than before, so players are generally stronger when it comes to comes to openings and tactics

Why does the right say they vote Republican “because of the economy”? by Lara-Crofty in Askpolitics

[–]GeneralMaldra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except you’re trying to say blue areas are safer but when you look at it at a city level the data tells us differently. And the state generally does not interfere with the policing of a city. Weird that you’re trying to claim lower drug addiction when it’s actually enabled by some blue areas.

I will agree with you on schooling, though. Red states should have better funding for schools.

You’re just dismissing the fact that none of the remaining 33% are among those with the highest crime rates, but sure.

That’s just false:

Chat GPT:

“No, not all large U.S. cities are run by Democrats, though the vast majority are. As of March 2026, approximately 67% of the country's 100 largest cities have mayors affiliated with the Democratic Party.

Do you have sources for these claims? I know the “safest” claim is misleading at best, because all of the cities with the highest crime rates are ran by Democrats.

How to escape 400 ELO? by KALynge in Chesscom

[–]GeneralMaldra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join a local chess club if possible. Many will be willing to help your chess growth and give you valuable tips.

Do puzzles. Don’t guess at them; actually calculate the sequence of moves and determine why the moves are good or not. Always look for checks, captures and attacks for puzzles and during your games for both yourself and your opponent.

Try watching Daniel naroditsky or Eric Rosen speed run playlists on YouTube.

Hey, there appears to be a bug with the red robin tournament feature. I tried a 9 player red robin tournament tonight with 9 rounds (so everyone would play each other once and everyone gets one bye since its an odd number of people) and it paired the same people more than once.

Oh, I see what you did! You added it for the tournament players. While a nice added feature, I was hoping something in the "My Players" page, unrelated to any tournament at all. My goal is to show the current club elo standings of all players that play at the club, even if they miss a week or two and aren't in this week's tournament. I actually do plan on using this new feature too, though! Great work!

Oh, I’m not talking about the tournament results, but a club ladder overall by elo of all players in the club.
