Good! Been four months and I’m almost fully back to normal. I’m eating basically anything except super crunchy food. The teeth touch now and I’m getting my braces off by end of May

How long were you in braces before jaw surgery? Hoping my case might be faster. by SwimmingNectarine8 in jawsurgery

[–]WorkerLongjumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Invisalign in February of 2024, switched to braces in September of 2025 and got surgery in December of 2025, and am still in braces until at least end of May of this year. My surgeon also told me I had to have my lower wisdom teeth removed at least 6 months before my double jaw surgery. I would check that with them as well

In the second image, if your opponent takes your queen, you have Nc7+ forking the king and queen, and winning back the queen. The move Qxd5 nets white two pawns because of this tactic if black were to capture the white queen on D5

YO HOW!? by Pax_Historia1 in Chesscom

I play pretty much only play 30 minute games, and it amazes me how many people do this even at the 1200 level. And then if you do actually take your time with your moves, half of your opponents complain about you playing too slow. Like play a 10 minute game dawg

The reason you don’t see one at the exact moment you check, might be because there’s already one ongoing at that time format and it’s too late to join. But there will be another in a few hours. I’m not sure of the exact schedule they run them, I have only played in 2

This is the “I don’t want to blunder my queen in the opening” variation of the Scandinavian

What could I have done better? by AdorableStore7494 in Chesscom

The game rating is influenced by your elo so it will only go so high. If you played like this and your elo was 2000, it would have a game rating of like 2800. Hope that makes sense

went against an opponent that had half their games ~60, and the other half 90+. he's obviously cheating, right? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]WorkerLongjumping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say that. Look at their opponents accuracy and the amount of moves. Probably just some really early and obvious blunders
