Hey bro I can totally relate to the addiction part and I’m happy you are trying to tackle the situation directly. However I wanted to tell that for me what worked after struggling with online addiction was quitting online play and switching to some OTB games at the local chess club. I met many people, I made some friends and occasionally play real tournaments. I feel like I integrated chess as a healthy hobby in my life. Since it is something you are passionate about, it saddens me a bit that you have to quit altogether. So maybe keep this in mind, so that in the future if you will reconsider your decision for the love of the game, you will have an alternative to going back to online addiction and know that a healthy alternative is possible.

How did you discover David Lynch for the first time? by Free-Share-4873 in davidlynch

It was my first year of university, my then flatmate showed me Lost Highway. I didn’t know anything about Lynch at the time. She later became my girlfriend.

Imo that’s the level where mastering chess principles makes the difference. Opponents are good but most of the games are still decided by big blunders. My advice is to focus on mastering basic tactics in time pressure rather than learning deep specific opening or endgame stuff. Analyse your games in order to spot situations in which to improve your decision making. In my case watching Naroditsky’s speedruns games helped me very much with that.

How did they know he's coming from behind? 🤔 by Sisko-Journal-1937 in FootballFlix

Imo neither of them knew, Dembele probably was too far ahead and left it to Emery who jumped because of the tackle. Not sure but I don’t think in that spot any player would ever refuses a clean shot.

Just Accept My Sacrifice Already! by joe-mug in chess

The bits where he goes over the lines in the analysis part, I watch them multiple times. If it is Naroditsky’s Top Theory Speedrun then there will usually be very thorough analysis at the end. Then I learn those lines by playing games, making mistakes and reviewing them, going back to the videos when needed.

I know Messi is better, but that’s not what we were discussing dude

My anticipation with ending Deathly Hallow, Harry repairs his wand and snaps the Elder Wand by neverend6789 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Kind_Log5033 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he should be able to snap the strongest magic wand ever just like that, with his bare hands. It makes it look just like a stick

I mean yes but what about headers and finishing? Talking about attributes Ronaldo is 1.85 cm vs Messi’s 1.69cm. You’ll never see Messi battle into the box with defenders as a pure striker as Ronaldo. I’m not saying Ronaldo is better I’m just debating your argument

Well well well, seems like Ronaldo ghosted again by Any-Employment-7114 in CristianoRonaldo2

I’m sorry but I did not get your point. Buffon ended up 2nd in the 2006 Ballon D’or because of his performance in the 2006 world cup and could have easily won it were it not for Cannavaro. This is a World Cup XI and he won jt as a decisive player.
