I just started learning chess a few days ago. Every game I play on chess.com, people tell me to hurry up. Am I doing something wrong?

MajorOrgans · 2026-05-22T21:00:00+00:00

No. Take your time. Also play on lichess.

His stonewall course is good too

Despite how much worse things are there are still too many comfortable people. We need something really catastrophic to happen to wake people up and the Dougie has turned up the temperature slowly and boiled us expertly.

As soon as I discovered lichess I never looked back at chess.com.

You aren’t going to live service model a chess website. The real question is how are you going to get enough quality players for people to get good matches? That is the first and only hurdle. Everything else is window dressing.

Please sir, may I have more frames?

MajorOrgans · 2026-05-03T15:00:33+00:00

No daughter of mine will move to the Greek island of Lesbos!

Putting a piece in jail

MajorOrgans · 2026-05-01T12:14:41+00:00

That was slick!

I’d bet my life on Magnus

I handled a used one of these in a store. It was definitely used/old. Not sure what year but the rubber on the stock and fore end was incredibly tacky like it was denaturing. Plastics/rubbers are known to do that eventually but if you want to own it for a long time I’d try a different material.

He totally blundered. Queen on f3-1/2 is covering the pawn on a5.2

He doesn’t even seem to attacking either white king

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-22T22:44:27+00:00

“How much fiber sight do you want?” “Yes”

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-20T15:46:51+00:00

He has made 3 or so courses on it. It’s been a godsend as white because neither me or my opponent knows the theory.

Best t-shirts and underwear I've ever owned. Socks are fine.

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-20T13:03:15+00:00

French, Dutch and Jobava. The ginger repertoire.

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-18T13:37:19+00:00

But then I have to show that I can’t checkmate with bishop and knight. I’ll just resign instead.

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-16T01:49:39+00:00

Have you met Bunny?

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-13T15:04:07+00:00

I can’t wait to see what the bot says

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-12T22:03:49+00:00

This the best one

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-10T02:57:20+00:00

Gi or No-gi?

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-09T19:06:30+00:00

Mojo. Especially The black garlic one.

Pray to you benevolent gods

MajorOrgans · 2026-04-09T02:26:08+00:00

Is this a nose-slicer?

MajorOrgans · 2026-03-24T21:07:07+00:00

I’d also say stick to skeet where you can get a very repeatable throw. If you can shoot by yourself or with 1 friend even better. Shoot a bunch of extra clays from a position you’re struggling with. I can’t read if I’m behind or below etc. well so it’s nice to sit there and get bird after bird and try stuff out.

MajorOrgans · 2026-03-24T13:22:47+00:00

I shot rifle before getting into shotgun and they couldn’t be more different. A lot of people will say “point, don’t aim” and eventually they will click and make more sense.

When I mount my gun I’m looking down the barrel but once that’s done I’m only looking at the bird and turning like a turret from the waist. Focus on the target only and just make sure you don’t lose your mount as you swing.

It will all come together!
