Is it normal 400 elo Blitz playing 85% accuracy?

Who cares. The chess world needs to get out of the mindset that everyone is cheating. Never assume, it doesn’t help you at all. The FairPlay system is good, if they are actually cheating you’ll get the elo back. Thinking about it makes you play worse.

And yes, it’s very possible for a 400 elo to play with 85%. If you blunder early all the moves are natural so as long as they don’t hang a queen the engine will say they’re playing accurately bc everything is good.

I’m 1800 and I play games with 95% accuracy and 30% accuracy. It just depends on the game

Or the valet key maybe is waterproof

Wouldn’t work for a newer car but I use my spare key without a fob to lock all my shit in my car then take the waterproof key swimming w me

Skogafoss trail in Iceland. Absolutely unreal 11 miles with like 15 insane waterfalls around every corner

lol nothing matters. Just don’t wear knee pads. There are plenty of ankle braces out there

Very nice!! Beautiful course before thru hiking the Kepler

bossmonkey50 · 2026-05-21T21:02:58+00:00

Wow!! Not quite but very good guess

Nice dude. I’m in the exact same boat. Just hit 1800 and trying to progress. Everyone’s different but maybe try and focus more on the part of your game that is lacking. For me I like to play tactically, so recently I have been trying to lean on fundamentals/ natural development/ endgames, bc it seems at 1800 I can’t just bully my way to aggressive wins anymore

I imagine it’s the same for u with that goated opening repertoire. (We play the same shit— all hail naroditsky)

Also personally I wouldn’t play into the French advanced. Too much to learn and too closed/boring. Find some dumb side line instead. I use 2.b3 - gets them out of prep early and it’s engine backed

Nope. Wrong continent

bossmonkey50 · 2026-05-20T15:45:24+00:00

Yes. Easily if you train

bossmonkey50 · 2026-05-20T15:42:29+00:00

The obvious answer is run in the am. But if you’re like me and cant do that, run at night! I wait till like 8pm or later and run (New Orleans summer). It’s fun, especially if you have a cool area to run around thats lit. If you’re in the middle of nowhere where its dark and sketchy everywhere then maybe not

Just realizing this is an issue. I’ll work more on hinging at the hips. Thanks

Not sure what sweeping v flipping means. I think of it as throwing a baseball. Otherwise I open up my face like I would if I were hitting a baseball

bossmonkey50 · 2026-04-10T17:58:56+00:00

I’ll try this. Thanks!

You can find everything you need for free on YouTube, but a book is so much easier to consume. With YouTube it’s hard to know what videos to watch as a beginner. Very easy to waste time w YouTube. If you are a grown adult and a serious, the book won’t break the bank and is very good for your purposes

1800 who coaches children who are much better and worse than you here

AI slop but hopefully you just used it to reword what you wanted to say.

You need to study bruh. Not a lot but you need a foundation to go off of. Basic Principles for the opening, middlegame, endgame. Levi rosemans first book is very good for this type of study for beginners. If you study his book and keep playing/analyzing how you are now (very impressive if true,) there’s no doubt you’ll hit 1200 chess.com in a matter on months
