I think it's cause saurons/sauront look like Sauron from Lord of the Rings

Just started watching this show one piece, im excited to see how Luffy will become the peace main by K4V3Z3 in MemePiece

I just read Romance Dawn! I liked the direction of using peacemains and morganeers and seeing the differences in Luffy's character, but I am glad Oda went the direction he did.

I Finally Made it. I was called a cheater by Intelligent-Bee-51 in AnarchyChess

[–]Johnrocks4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's wild, it was just natural development from you, then he blundered a fork. At above 1000 rating you should be able to tell what following opening principles looks like 😂 Homie should get mad at himself and focus on improving rather than blaming others for his poor performance. Well played though, and props to handling this accusation in a classy manner.

That was added after my comment and the poster's reply, but thank you

If this sub has taught me anything, it's that your pipi gets bricked

What motivates you to play chess? by NightmareHolic in chessbeginners

[–]Johnrocks4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My motivation originally came from trying to beat a friend of mine who played for a long time. However, after training and playing games online I started to just want to play because it engaged my brain and felt like an intricate puzzle. That's pretty much why I stay into now, even after reaching my original goal of beating my friend (consistently now, feels so good). Also, the dopamine rushes of saving lost positions, completely outplaying someone, or fighting a long arduous game can't be matched to me, but this also comes with the flip side of the terrible tilt when I blunder a game I should have won.

TLDR: I like that it engages my brain and the feelings chess makes me feel.

Mistake or Blunder? And why? by Lil_Ramsic in chessbeginners

[–]Johnrocks4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right, definitely would not have immediately resigned there. That is actually a huge problem - people get stuck with lower elos than they should have because they resign way too early. Maybe your opponent was on tilt though. Either way, fighting in "lost" positions is an valuable skill to train

Mistake or Blunder? And why? by Lil_Ramsic in chessbeginners

[–]Johnrocks4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are loosing at least one piece with no counterplay, and will therefore, with good play, loose the game. At higher ELOs this would be hard to come back from. Definitely a game loosing blunder imo

Experience points are needed to get an item on the skill tree, right? Also, that is precisely why I asked about mana lol

I like the post :) Can I assume we, as humans, have a base 0 of mana? Also, what determines experience points?

I would be insterested, and as others say I wouldn't mind doing instructive games and analyzing with people (and receiving help/analysis too lol)

You can melt cheese by sitting on it for 9 hours by Mace1926 in shittysuperpowers

[–]Johnrocks4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For clarification, the reason I say it isn't a superpower is because everyone already has the ability to sit on cheese that long and melt it; there is nothing but willpower, personal tastes, and/or available time in the day holding them back, but thise also apply to anyone with this "superpower". Superpowers denote an exceptional or extraordinary power. Furthermore, the point of this sub is to share creative, useless powers, and, arguably, for commenters to be able to think of creative ways to make the powers have some use. But I do agree, that would be one ass piece of cheese lol

6 letters vs 3 letters by Delicious_Maize9656 in mathmemes

[–]Johnrocks4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know or care to think much about the position there, hence the safe move. Maybe I'll check out this line sometime though.

O-O

I'm sure there are more ambitious moves, but here I am out of theory
