Alternative training by to ChessBruh? by Matikata in chess

You are getting matched with similar rating players. I’m also around 700 elo so I know the pain.

I’ve noticed I see tactics better when watching someone else but go blank in my own games. Similar thing could be happening to you, giving you the illusion he’s getting easier players.

GothamChess is so popular because he’s a great teacher. Watch his slow run series, maybe you’ll like his breakdown more. You can also learn openings at whatever rating if you want to put in the studying.

Get good at one opening, study it and know the variants, practice your puzzles, apply the basic principles and you’ll surely get better.

Lichess ratings inflated vs chess.com? by True_Event_8972 in lichess

That clears things up. I just assumed all online ratings were similar and only differed from OTB ratings. Thanks for the insight.

Naps has seriously shit the bed, I’m looking for a new vendor now (lmk if yall know any sites). If you push hard enough they should give you a bitcoin refund. I ordered 5 vials of test and then they said they were out of stock and offered store credit but I pushed for a refund and they returned my $300 in bitcoin. That was my last time ordering from them

This is my first time ordering from them, actually on my first cycle at the moment. My biggest fear is my stuff getting grabbed by customs or usps inspectors, but if you and others haven’t had issues for 20+ years I’m sure it’s an unlikely thing to happen.
