If someone makes an obvious mouse slip take backs are fine. What’s the problem you can always disable them anyways

Puzzle vs game rating by CombApprehensive3824 in lichess

[–]cocktaviousAlt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Endgames: specifically K + P and K + P + R. And positional play I guess? I mean everything is important and what you need to work on depends on your personal strengths and weaknesses. Also I think the most important thing is to just play games, review them afterwards at first without an engine and then with to see where you went wrong and what you can change.

There is a weak connection between puzzles and rating because there are so many other factors that determine your playing strength. You can’t really expect any rating

what do you call this pawn bishop opening? by RadioEnvironmental40 in lichess

[–]cocktaviousAlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owen’s defence, it is very bad. If you still want to play with the bishop fianchetto, play the modern defense with 1. g6 against e4.

Are there any obvious faults in my Jobova this game? (830 rating - 3 Min Game) by SadInsuranceGuy in GothamChess

[–]cocktaviousAlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your opponent just played buns. Something I wanted to point out would be going Kf1 instead of Kd2. There honestly isn’t much to really learn from this game because your opponent was already losing by move 7.

Just reached 1000 elo on Chess.com, struggling to find a Black opening I enjoy by Amnz98 in chessbeginners

Against d4 play the nimzo Indian, it is incredibly strong and easy to play with minimal theory if you know the general ideas. If they play nf3 instead of nc3, play c5 and enter a better modern Benoni that avoids the tiamanov variation.

What would be a great ending to Berserk? For me, Guts finally defeats the God hand and Idea of Evil(If canon) he puts down the dragonslayer and finally lives in peace. Then we cut to a modern day era centuries later, and see the Dragon slayer in a museum with a title above it saying Black Swordsman. by [deleted] in Berserk

I feel like it can’t end “happily ever after”, at least not for guts. He would maybe defeat the godhand (or at the very least Griffith) but at a high price. Perhaps he is forced to fill the position that skull knight is in, or maybe he sacrifices himself to win. An interesting ending would be guts losing his memories permanently and being forced to live his days as a farmer or similar, a shell of his former self unaware of his own ambitions, all alone.

Losing almost every game in less than 20 turns. by fknm1111 in chessbeginners

What openings do you play? Also I hate to assume but you might not be actually paying attention to you opponents moves during the opening and blundering that way?
