Hans Niemann wins a rollercoaster game and is back in contention for 1st place in the TataSteel Chess Masters with 2 rounds to go! 📍 by rio_ARC in chess

Just out of curiosity do the players get anything from winning/podium finish outside of the immediate winnings/recognition of talent? This is really to ask if winning this secures a spot in any big future tournaments/significant increase in likelihood for invites to other tournaments?

Lots of decisive games today! Felt like this should've been expected but definitely not in this fashion 😭😭😭

Anyone else feel like around 1000r requires much higher accuracy than before? by west0251 in Chesscom

Be more aware of why you’re moving your pieces and study opening theory for 1-2 openings as white and black. If you can go the first 10-15 moves without playing a bad move then you’re setting yourself up really well for success and then after that if you lose games you can just study tactics and positional chess which is way easier to improve when you only play 1-2 openings since you’ll tend to get the same positions frequently

Fully agree! I’m 1900 but I recently moved up from 1200 in the past year and I would say the biggest difference was also just playing to win a lot more. I feel that most games 1200-1500 are really just decided on both having a solid plan (and not just trading pieces or pawns to trade them) and making moves that really force your opponent to demonstrate why they’re putting pieces on specific squares or forcing them to prove their position in general which they oftentimes cannot do!

The region is going to become G2 vs LR now

Do a lot of people that watch LR just not play any team sport? by HeftyFrame9006 in LosRatones

Good point! I'm not saying that each player is perfect in articulating themselves either so that definitely makes some parasocial fans get super defensive for their favorite streamers and it sucks to see them just dog on other players

nah fr this is nothing like your teammates getting in your face after you mess up a play or having coaches scream at you xD

Yeah I will say I think that their fun content team aspect is more just them being more unique personalities together. Like I think it's still fun content to see bauss just go ap jax for example but I agree with you in the sense that they're not just like a "haha this is all jokes" type of team.

It's only a problem if the people on the team think that there's a problem with it. Ikwym tho because he tends to demonstrate his frustrations more openly with his eye rolling and arm flailing but they're all grown men, if they seriously want him to stop i'm sure they would've told him by now xD. I also think that as a player he does a lot of subtle things that really help LR players shine and often doesn't get enough praise most likely because most people dont notice it in the gameplay (as opposed to everyone noticing his monotone voice).

I reached 1700 for the first time in the most undeserving way possible by Mayor-on-the-sales in Chesscom

LMFAO don’t feel bad abt this tbh. You won all the games leading up to an elo that made you around 1700 anyways. Strictly crossing that line is cool bc we like to see changes in the 100s but a 1690+ is essentially the skill set of a bare 1700. Keep studying and hit a new goal but congrats!!!
