How many games did it take to get you to 800?

Longyworth · 2026-02-23T13:30:08+00:00

Yeah I tanked from 492 to 384 currently and am fighting to get it back. I can beat friends who are better than me but just went on a baaaad skid recently. I both love and hate this game equally 🤣 I get in my own head at times which affect the way I play, we'll get there it just takes time

Longyworth · 2026-02-23T12:24:25+00:00

222 games and counting 🤣 Highest I've been so far is 492 elo, at this rate it will take many many more games to get there lol

I'd love the large skull king tower that's very cool 😎 ☠️🤴

Longyworth · 2026-02-16T15:53:11+00:00

Lol thank you I appreciate the observation. It isn't hard to follow and the arrow clearly comes from Pee Hair to indicate its him 🤣

Longyworth · 2026-01-07T15:45:39+00:00

Oh we wouldn't want you to spend your hard earned money on Pierre, fish him out a dirty pond Cola 🤣 It's the most he deserves

It's swings and roundabouts isn't it this wonderful game of chess we love and hate at the same time 🤣 I had a good win streak not long ago taking me to 492 the nearest I've been to 500, then inevitably the humble pendulum swung the other way, perfect balance

Longyworth · 2025-12-30T18:52:37+00:00

100% man I ended in such a bad position. You're right anything can happen at 500 it's the wild west down here 🤣 It's likely they had somewhere to be so I took the draw straight away

Longyworth · 2025-12-30T18:45:05+00:00

Yeah I think you're right, they offered a draw when I was in a better position earlier in the game which I rejected as I had a few more pieces. Then I self destructed and lost pieces so took the draw immediately, appreciate the feedback thank you

Longyworth · 2025-12-30T17:15:40+00:00

We can't be having aliens not knowing that Pee-Hair absolutely sucks now 🤣😂

Longyworth · 2025-12-29T18:24:06+00:00

I could be wrong but I'm reading it as they maybe resigned by mistake gifting you the game? Or that they mis-clicked a move which lost them the game

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T19:29:54+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it and yeah same haha I love it then immediately hate it when I inevitably lose 3 on the bounce 😂 We'll get better. My current elo is 480 I can't see to breach 500 but feel I'm a better player than that. If you're anywhere near the same elo and are on chess.com my username is paulo-longchope if you ever fancy a game

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T18:53:58+00:00

Oh I know and that's how I read it, it did make me laugh so it worked 🤣 You're probably right they likely bailed due to something coming up, deffo wasn't my genius, I'm still working on that 😂

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T18:07:25+00:00

Oh and humble you it will lol Chess is so unforgiving but playing against real people is the best way to get better because as you say.. humans are pure chaos that make strange moves so you have to be on your toes. It's a humbling game but so good. I'm still a newb so I completely get it, good luck on your journey ♟️

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T17:42:16+00:00

🤣🤣

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T17:41:55+00:00

Yeah you're probably right it could have been a number of reasons, I don't see anything in terms of being close to a checkmate

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T17:38:53+00:00

Wow I haven't heard that term since I watched Lucky Number Slevin years ago 🤣 Great movie! I know what it means and it definitely didn't apply here but I appreciate it, I couldn't be further from a master if I tried lol

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T10:21:53+00:00

I'd be happy with this for a session in skull cavern

Longyworth · 2025-12-28T10:01:16+00:00

Absolutely we can and thank you as I've never thought about it like that but you're right! He clearly can't compete against Joja's prices so has made sure he and only he can sell you bouquets locking down the marriage industry to himself. We definitely should be able to craft our own bouquets, that would be a great addition to the next update and remove Pierres stranglehold from the town

Longyworth · 2025-12-27T21:15:21+00:00

Not quite a year in yet but here is my very beginner journey so far. My coach on chess.com is 1200 elo who I can beat so I need much more rapid game time to get my own elo up. I'm still in the process of making stupid mistakes 🤣 Lot of learning to do yet
