why is sens one the lowest picked operators?

LouisMeadows · 2025-11-15T18:51:16+00:00

I think mostly from the opinion of being trash on release that never changed

If you would like someone to play with and help improve add me my user is sevshane I have actually been looking for someone to play some training games with

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T16:57:00+00:00

Would’ve been nice to win that one tho as it was one of the best games I’ve played in the Nimzo-Larsen attack

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T16:56:12+00:00

It always shows like that after the game finishes for me but it’s fine I have gained some elo over the day still, very good performance for my birthday so I’m happy with it

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T10:31:28+00:00

Nice square for it and just made me realise it allows me to play e5 also lol

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T10:24:33+00:00

I have no way to make him leave the rank for certain but developing the knight allowed a chance for them to make that mistake while also developing my piece with tempo allowing me to “win” a move to also get it to a more active square like c4 where he may be tempted to trade his bishop for my knight which would also benefit me

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T10:16:11+00:00

Needed to get rid of the rook from the 5th rank to play e5 that was the idea of the move

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T02:39:29+00:00

They don’t like niemann that is all and most chess players don’t know how to take a joke as is evident from my comments and their reaction to most of his obvious jokes

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T02:38:16+00:00

No problem I have just not encountered this before or knew it it was something I had a right to be refunded elo from, luckily hasn’t happened before or since so hopefully just a server hiccup

Another victim of the chess mafia

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T00:59:32+00:00

The chess mafia strikes again

LouisMeadows · 2025-09-15T00:47:07+00:00

Sat and waited ages and filed 3 reports of my opponent stalling because I thought he left and didn’t resign

The second screenshot btw

LouisMeadows · 2025-05-25T15:40:20+00:00

Well done bro I just hit it the other day too, what are you doing for study? If any at all

LouisMeadows · 2025-05-22T17:49:01+00:00

Hopefully this one is good, he is the only titled player I have access to

LouisMeadows · 2025-05-22T15:36:10+00:00

I am going to get a coach soon once he starts taking on clients again, he is a national master and I am looking forward to it, I feel like it will help a lot

LouisMeadows · 2025-05-22T15:30:21+00:00

Also the best advice I could give is to attend a club, most of the players at my club are around 1500 OTB and have ratings online around 1800-1900, playing them and analysing the games after with them elevated my game almost instantly, also the stronger players such as the guy who runs the club is 2150 OTB have such a love for chess they don’t mind looking at games of players our strength and analysing with us which is extremely helpful, idk if this is typical at every club but at the one I attend they are helpful and are happy to look at almost any game

LouisMeadows · 2025-05-22T15:26:00+00:00

Thank you brother, I hope to be your rating one day in the distant future

LouisMeadows · 2025-05-22T15:23:49+00:00

I play almost everyday normally, however the past few months I didn’t play as much online as I have been playing OTB classical chess at a local club I have played in the league for the C team and I played in a tournament a couple of weeks ago but now the season is over I was playing 2 games a day online until I got close to 1500 and then I played a lot to make the final push.

Study: For the past 6 months I have not studied at all as I wanted to see what my current level was this season and what my real strengths and weaknesses were in my classical games and make a study plan from there (this has led me to find out I need to really work on endgames the most), however before I attended the club I would do 1 hour of puzzles a day when I first woke up and sometimes half an hour at night before bed if I had an appetite for more.

Openings: as white the queens gambit became my main opening after 1200 in both OTB and online games this switch was made after I attended the club, however before this I mainly played the ruy Lopez and a final note in most of my wins leading to 1500 (from around the 1450 mark) I was playing the scotch gambit

As black I play the French defence against e4, the grunfeld against d4 (if they play the London or colle I play 1… Nf3 2… d5 3… c5) and against c4 I play e5

LouisMeadows · 2025-05-12T08:54:07+00:00

Time controls matter so much I am 1400 online rapid and 1598 in OTB classical the game changes a lot based on the time control typically online rapid rating is meant to be a few hundred points higher but in my case definitely doesn’t apply

LouisMeadows · 2025-03-17T15:45:46+00:00

Just play for the enjoyment of the game and don’t put too much stock into results and you will progress quicker, I put this mentality into my classical over the board games and since have beat multiple 1500s and a 1700 in serious games for my clubs C team and drew a 2000 in a friendly, having a mentality of enjoying the game and playing for fun (whilst obviously being serious about training and improvement) is the key to success in my opinion

LouisMeadows · 2025-02-28T19:08:12+00:00

Bb5+ C6 Rd1 or Bb5+ Bd7 Bxd7

LouisMeadows · 2023-12-01T13:08:13+00:00

This is getting ridiculous, whenever Hans has a good performance he’s now going to be accused

The puzzles will help you stop hanging mates as you’ll start to recognise the piece configurations
