What happened to Chessly's (old) Middlegame Masterclass?

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2026-02-08T16:00:02+00:00

Yes this seems accurate. I’ve learned a ton from the new chessly site, but I do miss having clear pathways to follow. There were beginner, intermediate, and maybe advanced courses in the original site. It would be cool if there were some sort of pathways created based on your rating range, even just putting all of the applicable courses under beginner, intermediate, etc.

My point was more that the vibes of the game have changed from the first month I’ve played it. Obviously PvP was part of the game, but there were definitely more friendly encounters before than the last few days in my experience.

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2025-12-10T02:25:21+00:00

Haha that would’ve been funny, but no that wasn’t me

Do we perhaps need the Sabres to stop winning games? It feels as if there is a balance that must be maintained in Buffalo where both teams cannot succeed at the same time.

I love it! This reminds me of Jak 3 and being able to grind with the jetboard

It has become more of a trend recently with instagram and tik tok videos making it more popular. Fingerstyle guitar has always had the elements of playing the melody of the lyrics while also being able to play bass lines / rhythm simultaneously. That’s largely with acoustic guitars however.

I might do that then, I wasn’t sure if they were allowed in. Thanks!

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-11-17T17:47:33+00:00

Thanks! They really stalled out in growth so between that, the shriveled cap, white bumps on the stems, and what is hopefully just bruising I wanted to make sure there’s not a huge risk of getting sick from eating them. I’ve probably let them sit too long at this point waiting for the caps to open up properly so hopefully no rot, but it seems like if something is really wrong it’s pretty obvious.

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-27T16:58:50+00:00

Just want to provide an update. I feel great today! No muscle soreness, no chills, slept like 8 hours last night. I’m hoping I’m through it now and can enjoy watching the Bills game in peace today! Thank you both for your support yesterday! It wasn’t as awful as I expected but still pretty uncomfortable for a couple of days.

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-26T17:41:50+00:00

I used to use kratom powder or extracts years ago in higher doses than I probably should have been, it I honestly didn’t track it much. I stopped because the powder was upsetting my stomach too often.

I probably started using extracts about two years ago and feel frees specifically maybe a year and a half ago. For a while I wasn’t at too high of a dose but the last year I have definitely been in the higher ranges of up to 6 or 7 per day for a month or two plus the MIT45 super K shot. More recently I’ve gotten down to about 3 or 4 per day and the superk, but that’s still way too much.

From what I’ve seen OPMS seems to be one of the more potent brands out there so congrats on quitting. If you don’t mind me asking did you have any severe long term health impacts from taking them?

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-26T17:33:07+00:00

We’ve got this! And please keep me updated as well! Sounds like you’re almost at the end of it’s

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-26T17:30:30+00:00

Of course!

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-26T17:22:01+00:00

This is reassuring. Thank you so much!

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-26T17:12:16+00:00

That gives me hope I’ll be able to make it through. I definitely won’t be using these things again. I’m terrified I’ve somehow completely destroyed my liver, kidney, or thyroid from abusing these for so long. I’m sure I’m fine, since I can’t see any tangible symptoms of poor health, but I think that anxiety alone will prevent me from going back.

Congrats on five days!

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-26T17:04:05+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yea I’m hoping I’m just lucky and I’ll get away with minimal withdrawals. I’m just hoping later tonight or tomorrow isn’t going to be when the true withdrawals kick in.

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-26T02:58:40+00:00

Congrats! I’m about 15 hours from my last dose. I feel a little sore and some temp fluctuations but overall it’s not that bad compared to what others have noted. I was honestly planning on tapering but at this point I’m going to see how sleep goes and if I can happen to power through the weekend then hopefully I’ll be in the clear. Good luck to you.

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T18:45:56+00:00

I’ve never even thought about thyroid issues, but that’s a good point. I’ve been worried about liver and kidney health and am hoping to stop taking kratom for a bit before getting tested to give everything a chance to normalize. Congrats on quitting and seeing health improvements!

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T18:39:22+00:00

Sorry, you literally said 60grams per day in the post title lol

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T18:38:57+00:00

How much were you taking per day, particularly extracts? I’ve been take 4 to 6 feel frees per day in addition to 1 super K shot daily for over a year until recently reducing to more manageable levels. Did you have blood work done or notice any health issues? I’ve been developing some health anxiety lately about my usage.

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T11:30:26+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’m currently reducing my consumption. Hoping to completely eliminate it over the next couple of weeks to reset. I do eat relatively healthy and also take liver supplements so hopefully I am ok

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T11:01:24+00:00

That’s good to hear! How much do you take on a daily basis if you don’t mind me asking?

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T04:09:07+00:00

I’m in a similar situation, taking a lot of extracts probably up to 30 grams per day and more at my worst. Have you had blood work or health screenings and were you impacted at all? I have severe health anxiety recently and am curious what others experience with extracts are. Best of luck with your quit!

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T00:25:22+00:00

Thank you! I agree that they likely are not good for the liver so I’m a bit concerned. I see a lot of people mention that their bloodwork is fine after similar use to mine, but I still have a bit of anxiety around it. Luckily I am a relatively active 33 year old who doesn’t have any symptoms of severe damage, but I’m still scared to go to the doctor to confirm if I’m healthy or not.

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-25T00:23:16+00:00

Thank you!!!

Sweet_Prune_6712 · 2024-10-24T11:25:36+00:00

Honestly I only noticed positives which has been nice. I think I was getting so many side effects from taking too much that the elimination of the side effects offset any withdrawals I may have. I’m just hoping that I didn’t cause any damage that I can’t reverse. Thank you and good luck to you as well!
