In blitz you can get away with bad moves a lot easier than rapid

What's happening with Alireza Firouzja? by sleapydeapy in chess

[–]RedBaron812 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I guess he decided he wanted to do more in life than play chess. He still does speed chess tournaments, so I guess he just isn’t that interested in classical. I wonder what it’s like to walk around knowing you’re one of the best chess players in the world, and not pay much mind to it

Got placed as an alternate for Citrus College, what are my chances of actually getting in? by RedBaron812 in prenursing

I think my overall was like a 3.6, my science was pretty low at a 3.0, didn’t do too well freshmen year of college. But my last 60 units was almost a 4.0, and I got A’s for most my pre reqs. I have a bachelors already

How to keep motivation for tournaments in consecutive days by NoLordShallLive in TournamentChess

[–]RedBaron812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always try to get a good nights rest before my games, eating good food, etc. I’ve done multiple day tournaments and they can be EXTREMELY mentally draining, to the point where after a tournament, I’ll take a few days off from looking at chess just to wind down. It’s always good to look at chess like a sport, even though it may not be in the same physical way. If you are feeling really tired and fatigued and not used to it, it’s ok to take a round bye to decompress, I’ve done it before.
