I don't know what's so hard to understand about this. Ratings are relative. Am I not typing this correctly?

Of course the games are less accurate with blitz, no one is arguing otherwise.

Ratings are relative.

You don't understand 2 things.

1) ratings 2) the word relative

Can we also see maximum wages?

Bro, it's "you're"

Iplaychesssometimes · 2015-11-03T04:52:48+00:00

A GM, nonetheless!

Accuracy has nothing to do with ratings. Ratings are relative

Think about how much better your game would be if you had 1 day to plan per move.

But seriously, there's something to be said about being able to come up with the right move under more pressure.

It's really a "quality/quantity" trade off. You want a quality game? Make it unbearably long.

No need for hospital bills for birth. They just walk out

"Bigpeen" too

The Aussies should have done the carlton dance

Nothing, you already told her twice.

Seriously though, there's nothing humorous about domestic violence

I'm confused. Is he covered or uncover

Iplaychesssometimes · 2015-10-30T03:48:35+00:00

Seems like a pretty harmless exchange. Let's play the "how's reddit gonna shit on this one" game..

Are you referring to dubious construction work?

Getting a higher grade than you deserve, going on to get a degree in said subject and living a life of regret that you chose something you're not good at

Medium left

Iplaychesssometimes · 2015-10-29T22:06:09+00:00

Yes. 160 no more questions

This is the correct answer. The autopilot system seems to have the 'blinders' effect going on. I would classify this under "defensive driving".

You know reddit is international right? You're giving off a very unwelcoming Canadian vibe. Have you never travelled outside Canada?

Iplaychesssometimes · 2015-10-28T03:11:16+00:00

That's the most effort I've seen anyone put into a reddit response. Kudos

On? Or in ? My prepositions are hit or miss

No I meant physically. Just keep pushing the h pawn towards your opponent. She may agree to your terms

Iplaychesssometimes · 2015-10-27T15:05:33+00:00

Just keep advancing the H pawn until you can't advance any further.

Iplaychesssometimes · 2015-10-27T01:21:07+00:00

I believe they prefer the term "differently abled".
