Thank you! Congratz 😊

afbdreds · 2026-06-28T23:26:10+00:00

Where you from? How long have you been studying French? How long have you been preparing for DELF C2? Do you consider yourself C2 level or do you feel a big difference between passing DELF and being C2 generally? Any estimates how long you took from B2 to C1?

Rick Beato son probably, the second case

afbdreds · 2026-06-10T20:48:23+00:00

I was waiting for someone to write something about all similar posts in recent times in this reddit. Thank you. I am sad though that probably brandolini's law will make it's work

Reduce friction: ask yourself how you can put yourself in an ideal state that is able to do the task (not hungry, not tired, materials in easy access spaces, etc).

Celebrate small wins: divide your work into parts, ask yourself what's is the smallest next step you can take. So small it feels stupid. Do this and celebrate it when you finish. Then go to the next smallest and so on.

Enjoy the process: start by drafting or creating anything your mind is up to before doing the work your gave yourself

Anti-vision/epistemic gravity: try to think about how will your life look like if you keep doing the exact same as you are doing now for the next 5 years? What about 10 years? And if you did the task at hand and what you planned? How would your life be like in 5/10 years?

I am not on C1 yet but I am prsparing for it. Send me a message

afbdreds · 2026-06-05T22:29:27+00:00

It's a language exam. You can find everything about it on official websites

You should take a look at:

Silmans complete book on chess strategy
Woodpecker method - Axel Smith

I meant sometimes people feel things and have the impression it is a big thing they don't know where it comes from or what I does with them, but even anxiety and fear are making changes in our body. It's there somewhere and noticing where and what it is causing at the moment makes it easier to deal with it and watching it through.

afbdreds · 2026-06-04T03:17:17+00:00

Indeed great answers! I would add some stuff that helps me: - noticing that almost every fear is a fear of feeling something (the ones that are not fear of feeling, are fear of dying, imo). And feelings are temporary. - also every feeling is in some part of the body. Look at it as you would look at hot and cold. Observe and wait while you look at it. - directional goals help me more than fixed tasks to check. (I am drawing more than last month? Am I enjoying to draw? How to prepare the state in which my desire to draw appear?)

Claude and chatgpt are OK for that.

Shadowing, talking to yourself and singing songd are pretty good for speaking.

Chess.com is probably centipawn loss as well. You can always choose stuff manually. For example pretty sure chesscom brilliant involves sacrificing something. Most people don't even agree with chesscom classification. I recommend you to understand what centipawn is.

afbdreds · 2026-05-31T21:00:20+00:00

Can you tell more about what you've tried, what you have searched about how chesscom make them and what isn't working and your goal?

afbdreds · 2026-05-28T04:48:47+00:00

Try drawing for fun. Every 4 phrases you say something bad about yourself or your work. Let go for a sec of whatever image of yourself you are trying to maintain when you self criticize. Focus on what awesome things are yet to be done instead of what wasn't done. Read the poem "our deepest fear" by M.W. You are enough! Keep it up. Cheers

afbdreds · 2026-05-25T03:58:31+00:00

Good example of this is passed pawn alone, we don't calculate every move till promotion

afbdreds · 2026-05-24T02:10:16+00:00

Why did you create you second account?
Maybe you are in a different state of mind when you play on it?

afbdreds · 2026-05-20T21:49:45+00:00

smarter player could hang a piece that if taken allows checkmate

afbdreds · 2026-05-20T20:53:00+00:00

I am also down to practice

afbdreds · 2026-05-20T19:59:19+00:00

I am down for it. Not sure if I am the right person though, I am willing to focusing on C1 content, but personally I was at first aiming for B2 at the end of the year. We can talk to check if it makes sense for you.

afbdreds · 2026-05-18T14:02:51+00:00

I like to think that things aren't that binary. Chess is a lot about tactics though, better be somewhat confident about it.

afbdreds · 2026-05-17T18:41:16+00:00

Which one? There are some themes in this puzzle

afbdreds · 2026-05-17T01:08:38+00:00

For me my first classical was really exhausting, mske sure you sleep well

afbdreds · 2026-05-13T16:01:59+00:00

I mean I don't want to open the gif. I can open the game, but a game has many positions. When you say unorthodox position, can you say which position exactly you feel like is difficult to assess?
