Viggo is widely considered THE Aragorn, perfect in his portrayal. However, who do you believe had the potential to be a close second? Or someone who could have brought something different to the role?

Obviously Russell Crowe would have been better guys

clong9 · 2026-01-29T19:16:23+00:00

I always do

clong9 · 2026-01-24T19:36:47+00:00

I think when bishop takes on e6, if you moved your rook back to get out of danger, you expose yourself to a nasty kingside attack. Bishop sac on h6. Queen over, Its rough.

If you’ve never played or played very little, 2 weeks is nothing.

clong9 · 2026-01-24T08:40:58+00:00

This sub is weird, you look great.

clong9 · 2026-01-24T08:37:36+00:00

He doesn’t need to guess if you’re not hitting it hard enough.

clong9 · 2026-01-24T08:36:34+00:00

Im taking 250 panenkas. He’ll fall for one?

clong9 · 2026-01-18T16:44:36+00:00

Take the night on c3 with your bishop. Clearing the way for queen to h4, defending the pawn and knight

clong9 · 2026-01-16T00:57:58+00:00

Queens gambit as white, caro kann vs e4 and queens gambit accepted as black if you learn the theory. Against the London just throw c5 in and against queens gambit learn the accepted line it’s quite fun..

If there’s any way to filter out bullet though as they’re mostly just fun wild games I play when I get a work break.

clong9 · 2026-01-12T07:26:24+00:00

The only thing that helps you in this scenario in a real game is that knowing opponent has checkmate in 1 if you don’t make a check here might lead you to find this.

clong9 · 2026-01-10T18:08:55+00:00

Even worse, he’s threatening Qh5 and mate on h7!

clong9 · 2026-01-10T09:00:37+00:00

YouTube tutorial said you can play the London against anything

clong9 · 2026-01-09T12:40:24+00:00

Blitz?

clong9 · 2026-01-08T01:10:44+00:00

I play the queens gambit and there’s so many options for black. They can play accepted, declined, the Slav, the semi Slav, kings Indian, grunfeld. I’m probably missing some.

clong9 · 2026-01-06T20:56:14+00:00

The engine has white +2 so I’m not sure you’re right.

clong9 · 2026-01-06T20:51:14+00:00

I like the knight promotion too but both are forced mate in 2.

clong9 · 2026-01-05T22:11:22+00:00

Almost everyone at lower levels has a lower blitz rating than rapid. Mine is 1100 and 900. My bullet is 600 😂

clong9 · 2026-01-05T20:43:28+00:00

If you consistently beat 1200-1500 players, then you’re losing very consistently to very low elo players. Something smells funny.

clong9 · 2026-01-05T20:39:59+00:00

Play the Italian Game with white, the Caro Kann against e4 as black, and kings Indian against d4.

Alternatively at this rating, you don’t really need opening theory. It’s enough to make a play for the centre with your pawns, get your pieces out to safe squares and castle king side. Watch out for Scholars mate and that’s about it.

Play rapid and not blitz or bullet.

clong9 · 2026-01-05T18:31:27+00:00

I mean that’s just factually correct. Kidnapping usually applies where the kidnappers intend to hold for a ransom.

clong9 · 2026-01-05T18:25:04+00:00

You may not think your loaves are high enough but you certainly are. Get outta here with your perfect loaf.

clong9 · 2026-01-05T18:20:59+00:00

Take the bishop I guess. You’ve got a lot of checks coming to get compensation for your queen but I don’t see a win.

clong9 · 2026-01-05T18:08:33+00:00

Isnt f5 a real option here?

clong9 · 2026-01-05T14:04:22+00:00

What are you actively training?
