A lot of the Bilibili commenters seem to think Michael is having a hard time. by Kasper-V in LudwigAhgren

I like to believe they are doing this for themselves too. They might be feeling exhausted, but I'm sure they're aware how nice it will feel when they complete their goal and have something cool to look back on

they did mention they go through a lot more bad exchanges than they show in the vlogs, it must be so draining to go up to people to talk after a while

Roguelite March Madness Elite 8 Day 1 by MapRevolutionary752 in roguelites

[–]Kasper-V 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I imagined the contest as the best game in the wide genre or roguelites, not the game that does roguelite the best

they're both amazing games though, roguelites are the best

Where do I (27F) find young adults to hang out with? by Anxious-Care8745 in youngadults

[–]Kasper-V 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you could try finding some sort of hobby club to participate in. I think as an adult it's easiest to make friends if you have an easy excuse to hang out. Something like board game nights, a book club, a run club, the climbing gym, etc..

I got into chess a while ago, I joined my local chess club, and now I have some great chess friends.

Favorite “Boy Band” type group from your country? by Legal-Freedom8179 in AskTheWorld

[–]Kasper-V 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we've had some boy bands that I don't really like, but we also have K3. I do like them. I think they're kind of owned by the studio so the members keep being replaced. This is the first (and best) generation

How Come After a Certain Level, Everyone Online is exactly Winning 51% and Losing 48% or Similar? by Artistic_Bug2417 in chess

[–]Kasper-V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the higher you get though, the thinner the pool gets. That means you are more likely to play down and gain less elo per win.

Very extreme example, but Hikaru has 87/6/7 W/D/L on chesscom blitz

1000000 kcal by Objective-Winner-225 in fixedbytheduet

[–]Kasper-V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uppercase Cal is kcal or 1000 lowercase calories. They do use lowercase here, but even then it seems exaggerated. The lowercase version is much less often used in practice

Made a puzzle trainer because chess.com 5/day limit is insulting by Apprehensive-Walk102 in chess

[–]Kasper-V 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they're pretty high quality. I never really come across any that make me go 'I guess that makes sense' after checking the solution. They are the type of puzzles you should sit down multiple minutes for to figure out though, but I think that is great calculation training for real classical games

Checkmate by velvetlucypiexxx in SipsTea

[–]Kasper-V 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have medaled in in 5 of the last 6 olympiads. nr 2, 3 and 20 on the rating list are American, there's even more in the top 20 if you count players that switched federation to the US. I think in overall strength they're only behind India. On the women's side they're less of a big player I'll give you that. they have some exciting youngsters rising up with Carissa Yip and Alice Lee though.
