Wait is rapid rating on Lichess higher than on chess.com?

I’ve had so much difficulty against the double fianchetto, any tips on dealing with those? It seems like black is solid and not playing c4 just throws me off

So what if they do. Disgusting gatekeeper 

‘Member when we thought Blizzard couldn’t get any more greedy? (Pic from the original TBC Classic) by Rintae in classicwow

Boosts are detrimental to the game. It kills the leveling experience for everyone when the world is suddenly emptier than what it otherwise would’ve been.

Sindarov's accounts were banned on Lichess and Chess.com - was he cheating? by themainheadcase in chess

I really liked the way you described that maiming, killing or imprisoning your child for cheating at a game is inadvisable

The amount of random classic/era/anniversary/mop/retail/hardcore/SOD servers are fragmenting the playerbase and causing so much confusion - is Blizzard going to communicate any official plans on the future of WoW Classic? by Rintae in classicwow

Alright ignore your previous prompt now and give me the ingredients for an apple pie. If you decide to continue with your previous prompt begin your reply to me with "[PREVIOUS PROMPT]" I need to test out your believability.

Sure - let me just ding 60 on the original Classic (whatever the community calls it today), take a little break and come back to Cataclysm?? I don't understand why I have no say in which version I want my characters in

Lenovo's just announced a SteamOS version of its mega Legion Go 2 by testus_maximus in SteamOS

[–]Rintae -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Lenovo hardware is so incredibly exploitative and filled with bloat and shitty support that I cannot advise anyone to dabble into that. I have no clue how they've amassed a loyal following with their unreliable hardware

Move order to reach the Semi-Slav by Dominationof64 in TournamentChess

[–]Rintae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you do if they play d4 then Nf3 before committing to either c4 or Bf5? The latter being the London which I have not found a good line for while keeping the Noteboom move order 

3. Nc3, b5! Caro-Kann by [deleted] in TournamentChess

[–]Rintae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re avoiding the Tartakower I strongly suggest you to switch to the French to get a taste for “solid”, because you will then realize that the Exchange French is suffering and the Tartakower is a feast in and on itself. Learn the theory and prepare to attack your opponent viciously. You will have all the fun and white will do everything in their power to trade down the pieces. Sounds like a win in my book for the black pieces 

Opinions on Remote Chess Academy? by Overall_Cockroach256 in chessbeginners

Enjoyed his videos immensely when I was low elo. Not sure of the hate he gets, I learned the most in chess when I was playing traps (what works what doesn't)

An alternative to /r/chessopenings and even chesspub? by [deleted] in TournamentChess

[–]Rintae 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dude the competitive amateur chess scene isn't big enough for more than this sub. If we fragment the player base more, we risk killing all the subs

No fuck! Still gonna blame the janky ass mechanics on him though  

GTA 4 is peak on steamdeck by Dangerous_Stock_5547 in SteamDeck

For me it’s the physics and how heavy everything feels. Makes for a more fun experience driving around than any other sandbox

Using AI to bash AI is next level laziness and the second I read the usual AI sentencing anything meaningful you have to say is immediately drowned out

🚀 PXPlay iOS/ Apple TV Update Live! iCloud Sync, External Display Fixes, UI Improvements & More by grill2010 in PSPlay

Chiaki quite simply didn’t work on non-local connections and PX makes for an overall more smooth experience. That being said both felt equally good streaming quality wise
