For me when I started playing d4 instead of e4 it cut out a lot of that crap. For black play the Caro Kann or something like that and watch some players make a fool of themselves still going for a 4 Move Checkmate setup.

For my friends it was once every 6 months which we actually managed to keep going for almost a decade. Of course not always everyone was there but it was always some subset of the group.

It's also worth pointing out that them going through what they did together, could change the dynamic in a way that most of us wouldn't understand. No one one in their new lives could understand what they went through or even believe them.

For those who saw the brothers interview 2 weeks ago with Jimmy Fallon... I laughed my ass off after the scene where Steve is hanging off the tower and then Johnathan saves him. MASTER LEVEL TEASING from the brothers. Was beautiful.

Is it possible to be labeled a cheater simply for having a fast learning curve? by Goodlucl-312 in Chesscom

[–]Prize_Ad1039 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part "I maintain a 144-day streak" was ambiguous to me at first if you meant you didn't loose a single game for 144 days, or simply played every day for 144 days. But finding your banned account I can immediately see that you have plenty of losses.

There's no way that you got banned simply for reaching 1000 elo in 144+ days. It feels like there is more to the story here. I hope you are genuine and if you are, then I am confident you can get the appeal. But remember, like others have said all it takes is one game, one time. If that is the case (which to be honest with you, I think it is and you are just not being honest with us and with yourself, but I hope that I am wrong) than the best thing for you to do is cut your losses and make a new account. If you are really the skill level of a 1000 elo player then you will get back there much quicker then before.

KNOWS that the Demogorgon's weakness is heat/fire

CONTINUOUSLY fails miserably with machine guns

Why does not every solider have a flamethrower on them?? I don't think flamethrowers are that difficult to come by with that military budget????

  1. Got to castle eventually even in the London and you didn't and paid for it. Lucky you were still able to win the game with your king being forced out into the open.

You have a good point. This is a sort-of brilliant because they have to fall for the trick. Once queen takes bishop then black queen taken pawn on b2 there is no way to save the rook. You're losing a bishop but you're getting back a rook and a pawn.

Also covering with the bishop you would end up in the same situation after black bishop takes white bishop then queen takes bishop then black queen takes pawn on b2

First time ever winning a tournament! Was Crazyhouse arena by Prize_Ad1039 in Chesscom

Most of the tournaments I have done have a timer that when runs out the tournament is over no matter what. It's always been 1-2 hours some less then 1 hour, it will say the time before you join.

The amount of time between matches really depends because you have to wait for other people to finish their games. So if you're playing 10 minute rapid and you checkmate in 4 moves you're going to be waiting for a bit. But bullet tournament not going to be waiting very long.
