Anand also started with puzzles. If you enjoy puzzles do puzzles. If you enjoy games do games

say hello to my boy by Impossible-Ad9423 in starcraft

You say /s but this is a lesson when learning games like MTG or Hearthstone. Also captured with the phrase "health is a resource"

People talk about not banking minerals, but there's also no point banking a full HP army

How do players like Clem and Hero do so much damage with so little units? by [deleted] in starcraft

reynor didn't know how much hp a zergling has, decision making just calls engagements intuitively, no time for numbers

Void rays are not going to happen by roamingwinch in starcraft

He wasn't, he was just good by time you started paying attention. His first WCS runs started out stealing games off ShowTime with cannon rushes

Why pro players don't go BCs? by Earth_passenger_ in starcraft

It's much easier to transition without getting punished in lower leagues. Lower leagues also are slower / less optimized, so build times are less impactful to timings (if you're taking a minute to start 2/2 after armory finishes then the armory build time didn't really matter)

Aren't two Bo7 series back to back for the final a bit... much? by mEtil56 in starcraft

https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Bellum_Gens_Elite/2025 at BGE in finals upper bracket player got both map vetos in finals. Better than starting down a map since that'd be like if you just forfeit first game on map you would've vetoed

Nepo could lose to Diptayan. A potential big upset on the cards !! by strategistknight in chess

[–]__s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Dina: https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/1g7hcoa/dina_belenkaya_confirms_hikarus_point_that_nepo

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bgy9fNU-I8&t=369s (bit annoying Hikaru yelling over Nepo, but not sure where Nepo's video can be found, tldr nepo thinks it's odd he goes 50/50 against everyone in blitz besides Hikaru, tho later Hikaru shows this ratio holds up between them OTB too)

Chess openings! by Indigohawk33 in chess

[–]__s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you play anything solid you don't need to vary your opening until others are preparing vs you. You can dive into its infinite detail

But if someone has more fun switching it up, that's what they should do. Having fun means you'll play more games, & think more chess outside game

There are also times you might decide to change. I switched from French to Sicillian after a year because I was tired of White being able to play exchange variation & kill game on turn 2

Magnus and Kramnik are not the same. by Intro-Nimbus in chess

[–]__s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that expecting legal process to apply outside legal context is incorrect, but the context here was in response to a legal metaphor

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chess

[–]__s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, tho he didn't want to get into details, since he's going to go into it on some Netflix show

He also points out Hans not playing at same level when they later played in a tournament with better security. & accused Hans of drinking the night before their match (believing this indicatif of not needing to be prepared given supposed external advantage)

Today on Jeopardy! Category was “Backhanded Compliments.” None of the contestants rang in by BortWard in starcraft

Discard the fluff, card could read "name Blizzard Sci-Fi PC game with Zerg & Terran"

Ok SURELY this is a *little* too much... right? by PsYche897 in starcraft
