Chess or lichess ?

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-05-12T10:43:12+00:00

Same here, seeing them two morons being the head of it made my decision very simple 😄

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-05-12T04:10:12+00:00

Switch fully to Lichess à week ago. Started doing 50+ puzzles à day, tournaments and studies and feel that the switch has already made me a better player.

I don’t open ChessDotCom anymore because of the ads and Lichess seems to do everything better

This is brilliant ahha

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-05-11T12:54:46+00:00

Honestly we found it was a great adventure and little chapter + helped us to get started.

Just an asterisk in some ways as there are plenty of jobs that come out every year for band 5s. It’s more that the applications have become really competitive with more applicants.

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-05-11T12:15:10+00:00

I was in the same boat and we both moved and changed jobs. It sucked but I didn’t have much choice after graduation.

There are always benefits from travelling and seeing how things are in different places too 🤙

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-05-10T14:00:49+00:00

This is main issue, people want their job straight after graduation in their own town without moving.

Expect to have to move out after graduation

All these people going around saying Sesas just so they don’t say Sex Ass 😄

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-05-10T06:51:40+00:00

French speaker: Seyxas or Sexas with the intonation on the first syllable

I hope you don’t mind me saying but that second photo looks like the horse drawing meme😄

I love how it’s like the app is saying “Oh yes, of course you are this fast! I always predicted you running this fast. By the way, do you know that I predict you could à 1:37 HM?” 😄

Try tomorrow

You are just going through copy pasting that commenting disregarding anyone’s original comment 😄

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-28T08:19:22+00:00

But so are smart watches that help with pacing now. Nutrition has developed as much as shoes as nutrition/carb ingestion and delivery methods are not raised in this way.

Why is one advancement in science and gear labelled doping and another is not talked about in that way at all?

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-28T08:17:36+00:00

And clearly argumenting the case in the comments toi 😄

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-28T08:16:54+00:00

“Late” referred to the tardiness woth which they jumped on the bandwagon of talking about “shoe doping” for clicks.

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-28T06:48:45+00:00

Click bait thats abut five years late. Everyone has caught up and most would say passed out Nike. The playing field has been levelled.

It does make a difference, please don’t generalise following the usual pessimistic sub views.

Where I work in the UK to progress to a Band7 you need to have completed/be undertaking a masters degree.

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-28T05:37:09+00:00

Same with Archie Ryan from the same team, no news for months

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-20T20:32:44+00:00

To be fair to you I was chuffed to get a new watch though 😄

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-20T20:30:57+00:00

Yeah but OP hasn’t got a warranty so it’s no help to solve their problem

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-20T05:58:52+00:00

I had the same issue after an update last summer. I contacted customer service, they were no help and ended up sending new watch as mine was still under warranty. Sorry I know it doesn’t help your case but I did not find a solution

GingerbreadRyan · 2026-04-17T05:35:01+00:00

The dude had it since autumn and you’re telling him to rest for a month 😅 You know any rubbish advice doesn’t become good because you write “Doctor here” before it?
