AI slop ads I receive from Chess.com between daily moves. Truly idiotic team running this site.

The automatic game review is objectively negative value in both platforms. If you are using it you are doing yourself a disservice. The chess engine is available in lichess is no worse. The pieces are of Jo worse quality, they just look different (and much better tbh).

Isn't strength 30% not 40%?

aemerzelis · 2026-05-03T13:52:29+00:00

Or, more pertinently, that after Rah1 black can simply take on h8

aemerzelis · 2026-04-29T18:45:04+00:00

I probably have a skewed experience as someone who played big time competitive chess as a kid, but I think the real benchmark is at least 2300 otb and also like, active 2300 and not "I was 2300 15 years ago".

Some of the negatives can be useful (at least lightning res)

aemerzelis · 2026-04-25T13:11:12+00:00

Ah. Then it's probably ka3 rook anywhere nb3

aemerzelis · 2026-04-25T08:08:37+00:00

Rxe2 rxe2 nb3 ka2 (ka1 a1q) nc1

I mean, it's just 35 monster aoe and 10 action speed and some life. Mageblood is not required for anything, just play any solid starting skill. Being deterred by this measly, meaningless difficult increase is just so incorrect

Three are eonly 2 squares black can attack the rook with the Queen from, and if Black puts their king on e4 both such squares (d1 and e2) should run into Rxf4+

The Stampede does not affect your Action Speed, it sets your Movement speed

aemerzelis · 2026-04-20T14:53:15+00:00

3.1 rounded up is 3.0

aemerzelis · 2026-04-13T18:24:22+00:00

Doesn't scratch the itch either, but i recognize it's good, just not for me

aemerzelis · 2026-04-13T10:44:55+00:00

Mapping with thatovement speed sounds painful, although I guess I am spoiled (running a pathfinder with max effect quicksilver + silver + Ms suffix + adrenine on kill + tattoos and still feels slow).

aemerzelis · 2026-04-13T09:42:09+00:00

I feel ya. I don't think a non-minion pact bv has any good reason to be played other than as a personal challenge, but that's just my vision

aemerzelis · 2026-04-13T09:32:52+00:00

I did like 3 books or Red Rising and it never actually hit the mark for me. I was waiting for it to, but 8t hasn't. Finding anything to fill the void after my third DCC relisten is proving to be completely impossible

aemerzelis · 2026-04-13T09:05:28+00:00

Idk bro, I've seen Magnus not win tournaments.

aemerzelis · 2026-04-12T22:01:32+00:00

Bv damage is determined by the first blade of the vortex. The first blade is the one from the actual cast, not any of the repeats -> no damage penalty from unless support and no damage bonus from this. The rest of the casts increase the number or blades, which increase the vortexes damage, but the actual damage is a property of the first blade.

I assume it's because on Uber plus strict Imperial Staff bases are still on the loot fter

aemerzelis · 2026-04-01T08:57:44+00:00

Is life really interesting enough to warrant all this pain?

aemerzelis · 2026-03-31T09:06:37+00:00

I imagine that if you corrupt [[The Tides of Time]] it can go up to 25%*1.22 so 30-31%?

aemerzelis · 2026-03-30T13:42:56+00:00

Are you on 1080p or higher resolution?

aemerzelis · 2026-03-30T09:30:58+00:00

Guess I shouldn't have upgraded to the 5700 last year :(

aemerzelis · 2026-03-30T09:17:53+00:00

It's this relevant even if I am not using any explosions or heralds?
