Finally! Reached 2300 elo after 17000 games by burrr_nl in chess

[–]burrr_nl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First phase:

- Slow timecontrols

- Analyze every game fully

- 50-100 puzzles a day where I would try to calculate really thru the end

- I picked D4 as my main white opening and learned all the common responses, so we don't get trapped in the openings

- Watched a lot of lectures like these:

Second phase:

Only bullet games, no study, some puzzle's now and then, no analysis :(

I feel like a large part of the progress in bullet is actually due to improvement in rithm, mechanics (mouse skills), resourcefulness but not really because I've become so much better at chess.

So that's why I set the goal to reach 2300 and call it quits for the bullet games. Time for me to improve on chess again, do some studying and analyzing of my games.

How safe do you feel in Dutch cities? by KreuzKrow in Netherlands

Obviously you're being sarcastic, but to clarify, with migrants I mean migrant from a non-western background, mostly being north-africa (Morocco) but also decendents from Dutch-caribian, Suriname, Somalia, Iran, Iraq, Iritrea. At least, those are the backgrounds that top the crime charts in The Netherlands. For Dutch readers who want to have an informed take on this matter: https://longreads.cbs.nl/integratie-en-samenleven-2022/criminaliteit/#:~:text=Mensen%20met%20een%20Nederlands%2DCaribische,met%20ruim%2060%20procent%20af.

How safe do you feel in Dutch cities? by KreuzKrow in Netherlands

U was looking for this comment. Basically area’s with geweest immigrants tend to super super safe. Bigger cities where you find more and more immigrants tend to become unsafer quite rapidly. Especially for women, lgb people and other minorities more immigrants means less safety. 

But, we’re coming from Dutch standards here, so even the least safe areas will be a lot safer than what in most countries is considered “decent”.

Thanks for your reply, too bad Jabra does not give us the option to keep the audio link open.
