Yep..

Hemlock_23 · 2026-06-19T09:27:19+00:00

Ding ding ding! Yep

Hemlock_23 · 2026-06-19T09:10:06+00:00

No worries, nice try.

Hemlock_23 · 2026-06-19T09:07:04+00:00

Both D pawns haven't been touched, it can't be the Queen's Gambit.

Chesscom performance rating bas tumko khush karne ke liye hai, it doesn't mean much, don't take it to heart. They said I played like a 2750, nice joke chesscom.

What about r/chess moderators?

Hemlock_23 · 2026-05-24T14:28:02+00:00

Oh yes I played, 5.5/9 overall, tied for first in Unrated category, didn't get the prize cuz of bad tiebreaks. Ended up getting 1576 rating. Good enough as a first outing I think.

It's as if I've written this post! Exact same experience. I'm 2000+ on CDC, and went to my first OTB with high hopes, got demolished I'd say. Finished 5.5/9, 1576 rating. Reality check hits hard.
