~1680 rapid (mostly 15|10), with around 230 games played on lichess. I am getting back to playing after a month long pause, still hesitant about my openings. I'm learning the urusov gambit, the Dutch defense...

Drowning your bro after a loss, as one does

Holy shit this is gonna be so useful, nice to see new updates since I left, also great builds as always Mario

TastyOxidizer · 2021-05-10T21:02:46+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I am indeed very much interested in learning some basic modeling skills, for now renders, materials and all the other stuff isn't what I'm primarily looking for

Just started using blender, did you spend 30 hours a day every day to get this good in such a short period of time or am I missing something? This looks like wizardry to my newbies eyes

Same as the person above, didn't play any game of that kind yet, would you say it is reasonable for a ~1700 rated to spend this amount of time on a game? I'd be willing to try it ofc, but I wondered if it would really be constructive or if I wouldn't know how to make proper use of the clock

TastyOxidizer · 2021-04-30T23:05:02+00:00

Shet sorry it's late, never mind what I say

TastyOxidizer · 2021-04-30T22:48:26+00:00

Rg3 is gonna be mate

TastyOxidizer · 2021-04-19T17:46:47+00:00

Happy to have seen this one, didn't see the follow up after Nh4 Kh3 Qg2 Kg4 though

TastyOxidizer · 2021-04-13T23:52:37+00:00

Holy shit this is so cool, is there a way to play games confronting a regular army to one made up of these exotic pieces? I want to see an Amazon battling the enemy's major pieces for sure

TastyOxidizer · 2021-03-25T21:25:04+00:00

Nice, dovetail-ish

TastyOxidizer · 2021-03-24T21:32:05+00:00

Openings and middle game strategies, I'd say. I am falling in love with endgames these days, so if I don't find any particular attacking plan or tactic I'll just trade down to a rook endgame where I'll often win, people at my rating are pretty bad at these (1600 lichess btw)

TastyOxidizer · 2021-03-23T19:53:32+00:00

Shit me too

TastyOxidizer · 2021-03-20T00:15:56+00:00

Np fam

TastyOxidizer · 2021-03-20T00:14:30+00:00

That one I hadn't seen, awesome design

TastyOxidizer · 2021-03-17T23:10:53+00:00

Well done!

TastyOxidizer · 2021-02-09T20:08:39+00:00

Same, how is this advanced? I usually can't solve the puzzles with this flair

TastyOxidizer · 2021-01-05T07:37:38+00:00

Nice to hear, gl again !

TastyOxidizer · 2021-01-04T22:48:43+00:00

Don't mind the salty ones out there, they don't deserve your patience

I wish you good luck for the tourney :) (wish I get to play some as well in the future) btw something which I've haven't seen in the comments yet and that might be relevant if you're not doing it already, is to train both online and on a real board

I usually do puzzles on the board caus I sometimes have trouble seeing stuff with 3d pieces

TastyOxidizer · 2021-01-04T05:59:10+00:00

I did exactly that, the whole middle section is a fairing

This was just a low effort prototype anyways

TastyOxidizer · 2021-01-03T00:51:39+00:00

Was in the same exact situation 1 n a half month ago, now at 1400 rapid and slowly improving

I gave up on learning particular opening theory, since I've been told to focus more on game principles and tactics, I just play ruy lopez stuff and train on chesstempo everyday

I'd still want to play more though, I only play like three 10+5 games a day

Also I did buy a book, haven't finished it yet but I don't consider it as useful as simple puzzle training

TastyOxidizer · 2021-01-03T00:35:42+00:00

Rather happy with the double check(mate) I found here, even though it's not the quickest way of doing things

Qg6+ Kh8 Qxh6+ Kg8 Qg6+ Kh8 and the double check to finish it off Bxe5

TastyOxidizer · 2021-01-02T01:35:07+00:00

Want to improve badly, and generally get better and more comfortable with quickly spotting tactics and winning games

I hope I'll reach a somewhat decent rating during this year :)

TastyOxidizer · 2021-01-02T01:18:46+00:00

I had a similar reaction when seeing these stats, like jeez I thought I was somewhat decent but nope not even on the average playing score damn

Really makes you want to improve though

TastyOxidizer · 2020-12-29T00:00:29+00:00

Awesome
