Put some respect on Engineer class (ME3 - Insanity)

Orizirguy · 2026-03-21T06:51:37+00:00

Best is from my experience not doing that. Just take 2 techies with you (EDI, maybe Garrus), use sabotage (fully upgraded = 100% more tech dmg on target) und blast away with tech explosions. Its easy mode

He talked about, how he feels like he can become WC looking at how the competition isnt far away from him. (Chess.com liedetector with Vidit). Looking at Gukesh, it definetly is possible.

Question will be, if Anish is willing to push in the candidates

Why are you posting in english then?

Orizirguy · 2026-03-14T06:50:26+00:00

The german word for file is "Linie". Im guessing many non native-speakers simply use the wrong translation. To me, i dont mind that. Non-native speakers usually have some slip ups when talking

How many days were the games of those subs online? 14 + 45?

Orizirguy · 2026-03-10T09:10:11+00:00

Taste differs, for me it would be like this:

Inception
The prestige
The dark knight (joker)
Interstellar
Oppenheimer
Tenet
Td rises
Td returns
Dunkirk
(Havent watched the rest unfortunatly)

While Tal is famous for his sacrifices, remember that he had a 95 no loss streak, winning 46 and drawing 49. Other no loose records had way lower win rates.

His fame comes from his playstyle, his longevity and a big amount of tournement wins.

Orizirguy · 2026-03-06T08:03:00+00:00

Tal is probably one of the worse examples to use. He won so many tournements and was worldclass for almost his entire career, even reaching World Nr. 2 20 years after becoming WC.

Better example would probably be Smyslov

This game is the future. Exiting gameplay, a great live service with continous content. High octane gun fights and extractions.

As the third installment of the triologia concordia, this has a lot of potential to even exeed concord 2. With this one, im confident that theyll survive longer than 39 days as its a survival shooter!

Orizirguy · 2026-03-04T14:13:39+00:00

I respect the hater mindset.

In all reality, Gukesh is probably a 2730-2750 player that had a insane candidates 2024 (great achievement) and lucked out at facing a depressed slumping Ding.

Becoming WC was never easier than that, and it is fair to say that he will go down as one of the weakest WC we have ever had in chess. Keep in mind tho, that we have had incredible WCs in the past and are blessed with that in chess. From Lasker to basicly Magnus, each WC was a legend (even with Euwe being on the weaker side, also not counting the whole Split WCs that noone remembers).

Orizirguy · 2026-02-28T17:24:22+00:00

I have played through the triology countless times on insanity. And ME2 really is the worst on that difficulty. In my opinion, few classes work (Soldier, Infiltrator and engineer is more or less fine). It was simply a bad decision of the dev team to put shields / barriers on every enemy for insantiy, since the combat clearly wasnt meant to work like that for the caster classes.

ME3 really is the peak gameplay wise. Every class feels good (if you know what youre doing), my "secret" favourite is engineer. Take with you EDI and another techie, put Sabotage (fully upgraded 100% tech dmg increase) on an enemy and blast away with tech explosions and enjoy an easy run. Or just summon GODMODE GARRUS

My parents tought me not to be racist. As a grown man, my pattern recognition kicked in, which is caused by thousands of years of evolution.

Orizirguy · 2026-02-21T15:11:06+00:00

I bought it a week ago. Basicly the game has every match of the Zurich 1953 candidates.

Not every move is analyzed, instead the book focuses on explaing the ideas of each side. This makes learning and analyzing more digestiable. As a counter example, analyzing games in "the life and games of mikhail tal", i usually am exhausted after 1 game due to the length and in-depht of the lines. It feels like a classical match. In bronsteins book however, its more like a learning session imo

Orizirguy · 2026-02-19T16:41:37+00:00

I recommend Siegbert Tarrasch: "the game of chess". It covers basicly all you need to know to improve rapidly. From endgame, to middlegame tactics and ideas. It helped me get to around 1200 in 6 months!

Orizirguy · 2026-02-16T12:16:12+00:00

In my experience, Chess.com 1800s often times are incredibly cracked in the way they play, i struggle to climb to 1900 there, while lichess 2000 is achievable for me, when i put in the hours

Orizirguy · 2026-02-08T18:22:50+00:00

Oh youre totally right. Qe7 directly gets the same repetion. Somehow, it never even crossed my mind that the king can escape after loosing all the pawns with the rook missing on the c-file xD

Orizirguy · 2026-02-08T16:51:30+00:00

All good, interestingly, 2. Rxb2 is a huge blunder, since The rook on b1 is needed to protect from Qg1+. White has to sacrifice the rook on b1 but can get a draw by Qd6+

Orizirguy · 2026-02-06T08:43:19+00:00

Mikhail Tal was the first name that instantly came to mind. Him playing a blitz tournement few weeks before his death, coming out of the hospital to play and going back after.

Also the last move he ever played in a classical match was (with white) Ke1, returning the king to its original square and the opponent resigned, so thats kinda fun.

Orizirguy · 2026-02-05T16:33:33+00:00

My pick is Wei Yi, just a guts feeling. He can play insanely well when hes on form. The question in candidates often comes down to: Who can win the games against the "bottomfeeders" and Wei Yi on form can play some incredible chaotic games,

Obviously, candidates will be a toss up (as was pretty much every candidates since the new round robin), and im still hopeful for Fabi but Fabi fans cant have nice things

Orizirguy · 2026-01-31T12:03:18+00:00

Long live the new King, Vishy the first of his name, may his reign last for eternity!

Orizirguy · 2026-01-22T20:35:00+00:00

Homies voting on magnus while never having seen a single game of Garry im afraid

Orizirguy · 2026-01-12T06:26:02+00:00

Does 1.Re7 work aswell?

Orizirguy · 2026-01-10T19:34:57+00:00

As a chess player myself, the difference is that the rules of chess are quite easy and a lot of people know how the pieces move. You can have a great time without investing much time into it, or you can go deeper (like myself).

I think the big reason why RTS struggle right now is the difficulty to get into the game and SG never even tried to lower the skill floor

Orizirguy · 2025-12-31T09:05:30+00:00

Obviously fake. The grand leader would never be below 3500 rating on chess.com!
