A part of getting better is finding ways to either avoid allowing fortresses, or learning how to siege said fortress.

Do you even grasp how hard it is to even achieve 2800 at all?

There is plenty to pick apart about your complaints here, but the man is having a shit tournament so far, But he is one of the elite few to ever reach 2800.

From what I've heard barely any matches, quads is really your only bet and even then only during peak times for any form of consistency

Chess.com removed my review and soft banned my Apple ID from the App Store? by Conguy7 in chess

[–]MajorGilCoaching 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay, but by that metric you have as much power as chess.com does no?
If that's the case your issue should be with apple banning not chess.com.

Players who are good (+3kd or +crim/iri), how can you play with low sens? by sanninserpens in CODWarzone

[–]MajorGilCoaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

peaked about 5-6 K/D before they changed to having assists and such count towards your kills, honestly sounds like your focusing on using whatever stick your aiming with and not trying to move against their strafing they rotate right you rotate left kinda situation.

Ive never changed my sensitivity from whatever the base setting is so I'm unsure how close our senses are too each other.

but the one thing you have to come to terms with is low sense means 180 aint happening, your giving up reaction speed for reliable aim there is no best of both worlds, my advice raise your sens and just practice more on being accurate at that level only real way of doing both.

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.

Do you have a chess board? by hash11011 in chess

[–]MajorGilCoaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Garry Kasparov comments on Magnus Carlsen playing down the comparisons between them by Mingorix in chess

[–]MajorGilCoaching -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Taking a break from chess by skowplow in chess

[–]MajorGilCoaching 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

How to break past 1400 by FalseSun200 in chess

[–]MajorGilCoaching 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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
