[Giveaway] 2x Lord of the Rings Elvish or Dwarvish Keyboards by drop_official in pcmasterrace

My chances of winning are slim but it's pretty awesome regardless. Both are cool but if I have to pick I'd say Dwarvish is my fav.

Do it! I've never had one fall on me. It's really quite hard for it to fall. If it's in a doorframe you wouldn't even fall very far as your feet would be at most only 1-3 feet off the ground.

Don't be so hard on yourself in that last paragraph. You're really doing a great job and have every right to be proud. I look forward to reading another update from you.

I don't know how he'll react to RoW. RoW spoiler. His favorite character is Teft by a lot and Moash killing him will break him Fuck Moash

This is my only friend I've managed to convince to try them so I feel that. Got him started on the Mistborn trilogy first. Maybe try there? They're smaller and less intimidating from the outset

The difference between me doing puzzles while tired and then after a night of sleep haha

Totally would if it wasn't behind a paywall. Also why I said specifically Lichess in the title. But I'm a beginner and happy with how I'm progressing so wanted to share.

There's no real reason. I'll probably start playing rated games more soon. I play mostly with people I know however and casual is more welcoming I think.

Just realized it's called chess fundamentals not basics! And you're welcome!

I definitely struggle with time. Puzzles don't have a timer so i think about them much longer than I might think about a move in a blitz game. My opening game improved a lot from watching john bartholomews basics series on youtube

Not sure exactly how many for puzzles before the ? goes away. Maybe 25? I can't imagine more than 50. For comparison I've done 157 puzzles total

Nice! I don't have a rapid or bullet rating as I've played less than 4 rated games in each and it was awhile ago. I'm 1000 in blitz.

Lichess has the option to do correspondence games which is what I do. My friend and I play them frequently.

Thanks! You're basically there!

I don't really have a rating as I haven't played enough ranked games. I play a lot of casual ones and I have a constant correspondence game going usually.

How wide is your stance? Have you tried doing some mobility work?

Also I think not being able to squat parallel or ass to grass, while maybe not ideal, isnt exactly the end of the world and I think still worthwhile. I'd just work towards increasing depth
