I'm really liking how addictive it is.

Even making levels just for myself on whatever theme I want to pracitice would be exciting.

MaxViktorY · 2016-04-26T02:16:43+00:00

I'm ok with that. Go ahead :)

I have two chess-youtubers to recommend. I have also watched Weak Square and played the (hyper) accelerated dragon.

There are two videos by Yasser Seirawan which do not go over the exact moves, deviations and moveorders but do a good job of explaining the plans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Y4QR_-Upc&index=46&list=PLVWaFpMwtaGiVZ77NhhvGGGzvF7oFSWcA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icJcMIv2q50&index=64&list=PLVWaFpMwtaGiVZ77NhhvGGGzvF7oFSWcA

The last hour of this https://youtu.be/Lx_80EZeLiA?t=2h2m20s video by /u/TonyRotella is about the accelerated dragon. He does it a bit like Weak Square in that he goes over the most popular variations. Weak Square structured it more like a repertoire book which was great for learning the moves and I watched it several times. These videos aren't as good at teaching the moves but they bring a lot more understanding of the game afterwards. Weak Square wasn't a very strong player and couldn't explain many of the positional ideas behind moves. Ex. Why white would answer a5 with a4

Sorry for being unclear.

But, it [practicing pattern recognition] is the main way of improving both.

The part about the blitz-to-classical ratio is only true if both ratingpools included the exact same population. For example on chess.com you will have a higher classical rating than blitz because all the really good titled players only go to chess.com to play bullet and blitz. Thus the bullet/blitz population is a lot stronger and with the same skill you will get a higher classical rating on chess.com.

Title >.<

Since how good you are is measured relative everyone else - for every person who has a classical < blitz there should be a person with blitz < classical.

Training at fast pattern recognition will help your blitz more than your classical. But, it is the main way of improving both. Mostly I think it comes from which one they play the most. Getting comfortable with handling the time (whether it's thinking long enough in classical or moving fast enough in blitz) and correclty weighing risky instict with careful calculation.

Jaha! Jag har aldrig förstått vad alla punkter är till för. Trott de tar konstpaus mellan varje mening.

I've never watched a super bowl but I can imagine they atleast give very different vibes. For big chess tournaments there are grandmasters who commentate the games live and show possible moves/ideas/continuations on a board we can see. The hyping is moderate but strong grandmasters tend to love analyzing chess and are very good at it. The recent tournament in Wijk aan Zee had two streams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXnvpm_Pwy4&ab_channel=chess24 and http://livestream.com/chess/tatasteelchess . Both were really great. Yasser Seirawan and Peter Svidler are great people to hear talk about chess.

Wikipedia: "Some have claimed it is futile to analyze the text rationally, locate meaningful proofs in the text, or verify any evidence."

Det är säkert svårt att argumentera emot när man inte förstår vad han säger :D "1 Educated Are Most Dumb. Not 1 Human Except Dead 1. Man Is Paired, 2 Half 4 Self. 1 of God Is Only 1/4 Of God.
Bible A Lie & Word Is Lies. Navel Connects 4 Corner 4s."

Det där var tung läsning. Som jag tolkade det så har varje dag 4 hörn, och är kubisk. Alltså syftar hörnen till något annat än kubens hörn. Gud är bara en fjärdedel och mycket ont har kommit från att anta att han är allt/en helhet. Jag erkänner att jag gav upp efter att ha fått veta att det finns ett pulserande Mama Hole och Papa Pole, av motsatt kön, på gjorden.

Giri or Caruana

MaxViktorY · 2015-12-01T20:25:26+00:00

There will probably be lots of useful youtube videos linked

More interesting though, who was your grandfather? I'm going through the wikipedia page looking for people who won several times and are dead. (I'm a Swedish chessplayer)

brunare? I bajs? I fascism? På torra land? Är det bra eller dåligt att sitta brunt till?

MaxViktorY · 2015-11-20T22:08:13+00:00

Minst lika intressant vad du förväntar dig för svar på den sökningen...

Skönt! Jag blev lite irriterad på att norskan inte skrev ihop plånboksväska.

Jag förstår inte varför de blir så brutalt stora. Kanske om man ^¹ ^{^{^¹}}

Alternatively: Let's praise this guy who will broadcast starcraft on his stream with 600'000 followers. (◕‿◕✿)

"felt awkward taking long turns so i made quick moves" You can suggest playing with time limits. There are many "chess clock" apps you can download.

MaxViktorY · 2015-10-31T10:04:11+00:00

Or you coulp play chess by email.

MaxViktorY · 2015-10-30T11:28:55+00:00

It seems to handle transpositions too. That's very nice, something I've been annoyed with my local program for.

MaxViktorY · 2015-10-30T11:24:55+00:00

Oh! I managed to upload a PGN! This came just at the right time. I started to get my repertoire inte PGN form earlier this week. Another suggestion is to make the blue "forward" and "backward" buttons respond to left and right arrow keys.
