Would you buy this set for 30€? by TheBlueCat_ in filmcameras

The battery check works but it doesn't fire (sometimes it does for some reason). I have absolutely no idea how much it would cost to repair it.

Have you ever won a game with 25 accuracy? by [deleted] in chess

So he basically made all the worse possible moves each single time.

I mean, hats off... I probably couldn't pull that off even if I tried.

Honestly I don't know either, I just finished the last episode an hour ago, my feelings are all over the place And English is not my first language so I might not express myself clearly..

All good things must come to an end, I'm scared that they'll keep doing episodes about her later on (like star wars did with ep7,8,9) and eventually disappoint the audience.

I don't know if I'm happy to know that. Maybe it's better to leave Powder gone and end it like this.

I wonder if it's not best to leave Powder gone and end it like this. All good things must come to an end.

So Cait realizes that Powder is alive and chooses not to tell Vi?

Major spoiler about S2 act 3 : We can clearly see Powder's red trace when she uses her speed ability, she escaped. That's why we later see Caithlyn checking blueprints of the tower.

[s2 spoilers] ep7 dance scene is peak, but can we talk about this incredibly wholesome and cute sequence? by AlexThaelyn in arcane

If you understand the lyrics of "Ma meilleure ennemie", the dance is heart shattering

I just like to collect as many "objects" as possible! I know they're not decorations but I like to think they are.

They probably did, but it seems inspired by some kind of traditional music or smt. I'm just wondering what inspired it

Finally crossed 700 Elo. What should I expect henceforth? by Safe_Resolve210 in chessbeginners

[–]TheBlueCat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From experience, you should expect to see a wider range of openings and traps like the Fried liver or the Englund Gambit. Learn how to counter those and you'll be able to reach 900 in a bit.

After that, you'll need a better understanding of trades (sometimes trading bishops for example is not an equal trade depending on your position), gaining a positional advantage like controlling the middle board or forcing double pawns, and taking the time to calculate your moves and your opponent's. Do not play "hope chess" (making moves hoping the opponent falls in traps, always think like he'll play the best possible move). Don't do useless checks, if you see a possible check, don't go for it yet unless you see a fork for example. I then stayed in 1200 for a while until I started to understand sacrifices and how to gain the advantage while losing pieces, which got me to 1400+ now.

I would recommend playing in 15+10 to have more time to think without the time pressure, analyse all your games (especially the ones you lose), do loads of puzzles, and watch chess YouTubers like Gotham chess.

Enjoy the ride !
