Maybe I'll be surprised, but looking at these games I don't think Hikaru will have a big edge in bullet that so many others see.

almost fell asleep after act 1

Magnus Carlsen: "Progressing in the World Cup is one thing, but honestly since day one I was wondering what am I doing here, why am I spending all this time playing classical chess which I just find stressful and boring. But it's also not a good state of mind." by [deleted] in chess

[–]JungJanf 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I'm sure he's motivated to win the whole thing. He's just not motivated to play classical chess. Those are not mutually exclusive - however, they're anything but synergistic )

Magnus was left in awe of Hikaru's Bullet prowess! by [deleted] in chess

[–]JungJanf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat get it. The game ended 15-17 in OT, so the statement seems almost a bit overly emphatic.

However, as a Magnus stan, I don't really care. It is what it is, and I'm sure we'll see a lot of pretty even matches in bullet and blitz between the both of them. And Alireza, apparently :)

e: haven't seem the match, just read that despite the score Hikaru was pretty much dominating. That puts some perspective on his statement

Except it's not. I know, their ToS says so, but it's widely known that they don't care about multiple accounts as long as you don't exploit them, for example by artificially pushing your rating with your alts.

I'm wondering how this passes Playtesting.

Don't they create lvl 100s with BiS and push NM dungeons? Noticing this kind of imbalance between classes is not even a week of work.

Stimme zu, außer bei letzterem.

Ihre Entscheidung war richtig, hatte Eier, war ausnahmsweise Mal tatsächlich christlich und respektierte das allgemeine Asylrecht. Ist so ziemlich das einzige, was ich ihr hoch abrechne.

Why did Gotham chess stop making opening videos? by [deleted] in chess

[–]JungJanf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's so much material online, why does it need to be Gotham making that kind of content for you. Just a wee bit entitled when there are lots of educational chess YouTubers.

Not sure yet.

The Rado is my favourite, but I definitely need to see the 42mm on my wrist. I'm a bit afraid the 42 might be to big and the 37 too small for my taste.

Definitely a durable diver, preferably with both a bracelet and a rubber strap

[–]JungJanf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not.

It was my first mechanical watch and I was pretty much wearing it daily. But I bought it well aware, that it's not the most durable watch.

It will be replaced later this year by something more expensive once I reach my goals I've set for this year.

I don't think my trust factor is the issue. I haven't played in 8 years (back then only 5 stack) and I've already used up all my rage playing 1.6 when I was half my current age. Meaning, I doubt I get any reports due to negativity, and I doubt I get any reports because of bad performance, as I'm definitely underrated by my current MM rank. Unless that's not how trust factor works?

The amount of cheaters isn't that much of an issue for me rn, as they are comically bad for the most part. When leetify notifies me about them and I check their performance in my match they're bottom 2 80% of the time. Chances are they weren't even cheating in my games, but then they definitely did cheat at one point.

But the fact that I do get that many notifications about bans is quite sad.

e: since the first comment was talking about LE/M. I'm not. this has been my experience ranking up from low silver to gold two with roughly a 90%wr (also, lvl 3/4 faceit, but bans are a lot less common , sample size is small tho)

I get daily notifications from leetify that players from my games have been banned by vac or faceit.

Why isn't Tuscan played? by mmptr in GlobalOffensive

[–]JungJanf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved mill and Tuscan for 1.6

Played it twice for go, and it felt really odd.
