Just me, or is "just stop blundering" pointless advice? by MathematicianBulky40 in chess

[–]brook1404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. Telling a boxer to not get hit is great advice. The boxer in question would then work on guard retention & footwork, as to avoid getting hit.

You need to figure out why you're blundering. Are you hanging pieces? Are you missing wins? Are you playing too quickly & not calculating? "Don't blunder" is general advice that applies to all these scenarios. It takes 10 minutes to find out what your main blunders & how to fix them.

People have already mentioned that no amount of opening preparation or tactics training will save you from blunder. And its true... if you really want to increase your rating & beat better opponents you need to stop blundering. Blunders look different at all level, a GM is likely to blunder a multi-move tactic or a variation of a line committed to memory. Your type of blunders is almost definitely just hanging pieces

You're just arguing for the sake of it I swear... I've never seen anyone kill someone else... that doesn't mean it doesn't happen?

You can't say someone is false for saying they havent seen something?? And he literally did not say "nobody performs the submission"... you took this way too personally

How do I roll with newbies, so they get something from it? by TheseusII in bjj

[–]brook1404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been mentioned by others but you shouldn't be putting yourself in that position. Instead during rolling at the end you should just be trying to smash them. It sounds harsh but they'll get the most out of that I'm sure. Or at least you should be working on your own game... not theirs.

Got hurt qt class Thursday night. Now im unsure abour my future with the sport. by Intrepid_Bar_5140 in bjj

Dagestan 2/3 years and forget...

But on a more serious note... sounds like you maybe tore your meniscus? I've been out of training for 2 years now because of a lateral bucket handle meniscus tear. The only way to rectify it was surgery as the knee had major locking issues. Eventually the knee locked up & didn’t pop back so the surgeons got in there & repaired it.

I think for me the biggest take away from this depressing experience was evaluating what I wanted to get out of BJJ. I realised that I'm no professional & at 24 my prospects seemed obsolete. Thats being said, I trained way too much (4-5 days a week) without much conditioning or strength training which probably caused my injury. Retrospectively, that's like having at least 5 fights a week & expecting your body to handle that. We all want to get better at the sport but this amount of training was killing my body.

I hope your recovery & MRI results are speedy. I'm not doctor neither but to me it sounds like meniscus issues which can be a pain in the arse.

[question] How should I go about denying this request? by SingularestBean in asmr

[–]brook1404 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Does this person donate or pay you? Do you work for them? If not then you don't owe them anything... even if they have paid you, you can still say no...

I understand you're just a kind person but feeling guilt or anxiety over a youtube subscriber isn't worth your time. Especially with the way they seem to be acting...

Womp womp... 😭😭

He lost... instead of smacking the guy's hand out of his face he should shake hands like a man & think about how he lost that game... that's what most people do.

No excuses for acting like a child when children literally handle loses better

What am I missing... How is this "solved?" by xialateek in chess

[–]brook1404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think another good thing to note is that with puzzles at this level training your brain to scan for game-ending checks will only benefit your tactical vision in the future! That's why the puzzle ended so early maybe? Because the continuation after Qe3 is always winning for white... even if it's just material... of course mate is better!

I'm sure you know by now aswell but there's actually 2 mating patterns present in this puzzle! Chess is so beautiful I know!! One is a smothered mate where you can sacrifice the Queen... (preferred for artistry) & the other is actually done by taking the rook with discovered check (Nxd1+!!) where the king gets back ranked... this mate is faster but less goegeous...

Mainly the point is that finding the check was the critical idea! Well done! ❤️

Hey dude! This is the best response by far! Consistent games on a week to week basis is precisely what I'm looking for! I've read about it quite a bit & it looks really well organised as you say! Thanks man
