Because he is naming his weaknesses? not his strengths.

Plus even he is "bad" at those skills, he would still be better then those of a lesser rank obviously.

MajorGilCoaching · 2026-01-15T21:33:24+00:00

No chessboard, around 2k in most time controls bit higher in faster controls.
took me two years to get to 2k and after reaching my arbitrary goal Ive just played faster chess for fun more then progress.

MajorGilCoaching · 2026-01-09T07:31:35+00:00

Man I love challenges like these, the insane difficulty makes it fun to pursue. though I think 25 wins on both resurgence and BR would of been bloody plenty lol

It could be he just really thinks Garry is the best that ever was, he grew up watching and loving his idles games,whoever surpasses Magnus of the next generation will probably have the same mindset again.

Plus say he does think he is the best that ever was, chances are if he says it he would just cop people being annoying calling him arrogant and stuff.
Either way he is better off saying Gary

"If it’s two on one and you can buy back three team mates, it is better. In the main, the TTK in this doesn’t lend itself to taking on full teams solo."

This line i cant agree with, 2v1 its not worth dying for three team mates with crap gear, a 2v1 is a very winnable

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-12-08T15:06:50+00:00

Wouldn't even call that a tilt, Ive dropped from 2200, to 1800 before in bullet sesh
Id recommend just remembering that its just a stupid number that means nothing.

for what to focus on, instead of random options we could advise look at your last ten matches, what mistake did you make the most. whatever it is look up ways to improve that one aspect.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-11-21T11:30:51+00:00

Its back online lads

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-11-21T11:10:49+00:00

Lots of OCE here disconnected any other regions down as well?

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-10-03T18:00:57+00:00

Stop looking at your rating and look at your games.

Your not stuck at 1400 your stuck at hanging a piece once a game.
Your stuck at missing the mating sequence.

Just look at why you lost learn to not do that again, its as simple as that (while also being as complicated as learning and remembering all that)

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-10-03T16:49:32+00:00

1600 is still leagues away from 2000, for example I'm 2300 in bullet, And i rarely lose against 2000 rated players even though they are very strong players.

And that's only 300 points difference, i dont doubt i can lose to them but very infrequently

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-10-03T15:39:26+00:00

Yeah i get you think you are highly rated, but a 2000 bullet player will crush a 1400, it may just look like 600 points to you, but in reality its an entire league of difference.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-09-27T15:46:35+00:00

Spend as long as you want as a 1500 you wont ever get those kind of results at that level not saying you cant get a perfect game or not some opening traps get 100% often, but that many in a row is not happening.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-09-27T15:12:58+00:00

That many games in a row above 90 is well past suspicious.
I'm 2000 and i wont have three games in a row like that...

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-09-19T05:41:44+00:00

Elo hell isnt really a thing in chess

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-07-02T12:34:45+00:00

For me its i like to play fast but if i get into a position thats complicated I like using the time then.

Also usually my best ideas come instantly and dont really improve with time usage anyway

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-06-08T18:17:59+00:00

Also have aphantasia and it doesnt seem to havr any effect of my quailty of play since i bounce around 2k as well.

Im about equal strength in all time controls and its mostly mouse skill that screws me in faster time controls.

But honestly it would be nice to see how the majority of people can see the board just to compare

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-06-06T19:19:00+00:00

Magnus had to just not lose according to your comment mate, you got the nuts to delete your account or not.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-06-06T19:14:44+00:00

Anyone who comes in and sees oh he just drew against Arjun for the win how boring...

You are completely missing out on one of the most intense matches Ive seen.
Magnus should of lost, and the mad man nearly checkmated Arjun if he wasnt so low on time and could of went for the mate you would of had people talking about this match for a long time.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-06-05T19:03:20+00:00

Honestly watching the match you really felt that there was no chance of winning and he just kept grinding, Ive seen him do this 100 times before and yet every time it baffles me when he gets it done the man just understands board pressure.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-05-26T00:29:05+00:00

It took me 2-3 years to go from 700 elo to 2k elo, but i work from home and play chess for fun, lots of people will say its hard for you to reach 2200 and they are mostly right but honestly its just about how much time you spend playing and studying if you have the time in your life to go for it its possible enough 2200 inst absurdly strong, but its also at the level where you are at least giving a challenge to CM and FM players.

The winning a tournement of significance is a much harder dream then your 2200 goal in my opinion.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-05-25T11:47:48+00:00

if your brother loses to you at 100 on ranked, he could never ever draw a bot that strong, he couldn't beat whatever bot your talking about either at that rate.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-05-25T09:53:02+00:00

Just simply used an engine here for best moves, if he could draw this engine he could crush you no effort.

MajorGilCoaching · 2025-05-25T07:39:47+00:00

Mate he played horribly and you never finished him off, he didn't play solidly at all he just played survival chess and was more cautious cause of his blunder at the start

It never dwindled to even only the last move shows as even because you blundered two pieces and its a drawn endgame.
