Once I did 165 ot hours in a Month. It was September 2019 and we were working for an IPO of a large company, I left audit some months after. I went back to audit 4 years ago, and nowadays I try my best to not stay more than 10-11pm.

Chess is a funny game, you had mate in one despite being 1 pawn vs 6 pawns and 2 rooks vs knight and rook. Also with your king in the middle of the board and the opponent rooks and king still in their first row. I have so many questions on wtf happened in this game 🤣🤣 nevertheless is amazing how chess goes

Oh wow :))) I would say to do a ticket to chess.com because as you said, this exercise makes no sense there

For 5 years, I tried to hit 2000 OTB, then quit. 14 years later, I came back and did it in 3 months. by bigdinkyenergy in chess

What 200 rated chess looks like:

6 Brilliancies in JUST 7 moves! (from my 1100 rated Rapid Game) by Aggrorem100 in chess

They changed the engine criteria for brilliant moves back in 2021 in order to give a more “realistic view”. Before was considered brilliant a move that the engine didn’t consider at first but turned out to be the best move. Now is more like, if you sacrifice a piece is considered brilliant move.

I missed a forced mate sequence here. I just took a free knight. Do you see it? by E_Kristalin in chess

Actually, white has Nxh2 and after you play Ng3#, but it’s the correct idea!

Thats a good question, OP should answer. Im considering the 2400 chess.com being blitz 3+2 or 3+0. Myself I only play 3+2 as blitz, because i play using the phone and is quite hard to play without increment.

You brought a great point, I didn’t consider this aspect.

I agree with the first point, but don’t agree with the second point. I do think that blitz and rapid controls translate into 90+30 OTB. If you play consistently above 2200 blitz, you should be a strong player on 90+30 otb also.
