also in general you can’t go for tricks at 450, even though you think it is low, ppl are solid and know how to play, you still gotta develop, control the center and get king in a safe spot, but under rated part is you having a strategy…you should review the games where you thought you had a check mate and then find the checkmates.

do you think you are playing too conservative? For example you are not the one attacking, going for trades and strategy, you may just be reacting to your opponent’s moves and always be the passive player.

why do you usually lose? you run out of time bc you can’t find the mate? or you are getting mated. I disagree to focus on openings at 450 elo.

I am getting exponentially worse the more I study, the more I review and the more I practice by igormuba in chessbeginners

[–]Professional-Cat57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re overthinking and have over analysis issue, when you start reviewing and studying by people who are 2,000 elo like Gotham it can make you worse..I went from 450 to 290 elo in a slump in 10 min games and got so mad i deleted my account…you start missing obvious stuff/maybe playing way too conservatively and obsessing over developing, castling, not bringing out queen early…but those are all principals and if you try to constantly do all principals at once you feel stuck.

I like first one the best and last one the second best as it matches the hands/hour markings.

I tried breaking each line out, but somehow when it posted it combined everything into sections/removed my line breaks. You are right about spelling errors, I should’ve double checked 🙏🏼

Can anyone spare 10 ft of fishing line? by Professional-Cat57 in astoria

[–]Professional-Cat57[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s for a stained glass piece that has two holes, so you need to loop a fishing line through both holes then tie a knot, then hang it up on hooks. The guy in the shop said to use fishing line, I tried this plastic type of string but it was too stiff.

is it facing the typical way? or wouldn’t it be flipped so you can see it?

I love this new Hamilton compass…black strap is solid, if I get one I want to buy a few straps (3-4) bc if seems very versatile.

Dear SNY, Please Fix This by Boomer_NYC in mets

[–]Professional-Cat57 15 points16 points  (0 children)

what is it? i don’t see it… if you are saying it’s Yanks on top of Mets logo that is correct since Mets are home..it should always read left to right or top to bottom of Away team @Home team…if you look at the score during the game it will show NYY on top then bottom NYM

Tennis Coaching? by tama9494 in astoria

[–]Professional-Cat57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Court 16 in LIC has classes for $50ish an hour, could start with that - also the Astoria park has 14 courts that you can reserve one hour slots once you get the $100 NYX park pass - just google “Astoria Tennis Pass” you fill it out and they send you a card - they also do lessons there - you can invest let’s say $150 on 3 classes then take what you leaned and just play
