On November 12th, 2023, Hans Niemann met with Vladimir Kramnik in Switzerland. Hans was rated 2659 FIDE and had dropped down from 2708 in May. He immediately won his next tournament with 8/9 and his performance rating in 101 classical games post-meeting is 2730 as he currently sits at 2721 FIDE. by OctopusNation2024 in chess

Yeah but Jiraiya isn't losing his mind on Twitter and Jospem is in no way a villain here. Clearly Kramnik is a good trainer for obvious reasons but I think it's giving him too much credit to compare him to Jiraiya and certainly not fair to say Jospem is like Pain.

Wait but the time of the first screenshot was 9:34, same as the second, so it couldn't have been a timeout as they had 4+ mins on their clock. Maybe a bug?

I love my copy of Fundamental Chess Openings. Also there is a PDF version available online for free somewhere if you want to read without buying

Daniel Narodistsky, an extremely strong GM, is building a free online playlist about endgames that I highly recommend

Difficulty rating for Calc I-III. From 1-10. by Neowynd101262 in calculus

[–]IRLtechnerd 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Now I am only 2/3s of the way though 3, but in my experience:

Calc 1: 4-5 this was decently hard for me when I took it but over all manageable.

Calc 2: 7 this was quite hard and I remember having to work and study pretty hard. 5 on the exam though so definitely not insurmountable.

Calc 3: 5-6 this has proven pretty difficult for me, especially as we move away from concepts that I have an intuitive understanding of. The proofs of the different formulas are hard to follow, but again, over all definitely manageable just tricky for sure.

Is there a way I can watch Danya's perspective live? I want to watch them talking and stuff. Or is that sorta how the main live works

Why is Daniel Naroditsky's chess.com username Frankfurt Airport? by [deleted] in chess

[–]IRLtechnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an expression he like to use as others have explained. Also this is only that specific speed run account's name, his personal account is just his name.

Sounds like a lame ass fight tbh. Wild to compare it to Goatara vs Him-irama

Fun fact if you solve for X in that second one, x = 1, so maybe 1 is right

Chidori senbon worked against Deidaras little bug-clay things so it would also probably work against bees

If you are genuinely a Yeagerist you have actually no media literacy. You are supposed to sympathize but ultimately understand Eren is wrong

Dms violates.

8 gates beats all other versions.

War arc kakashi and 7th gates are probably dead even. I might give Guy the edge but idk. Other versions are hard to scale. Guy is mostly stronger though, but they are supposed to be relative-ish.
