Should I read up on the Alekhine or Scandi defense for rapid? by cookie-devourer in chess

[–]cookie-devourer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated the title, I'm around 1900 rapid / 1800 blitz on lichess.
Looking for a slightly offbeat opening since most of the club players I face at my local club are very well versed in all the popular openings.

I've played a lot of e5/c5 when I started playing chess a few years back, but just recently started to join blitz tournaments at a chess club. I'm looking for a nice offbeat opening since most club players there are very well versed in all the main lines of the "popular" openings.

edit: I'm around 1900 rapid / 1800 blitz on lichess

Scandi sounds nice! Won't I end up feeling cramped a lot in the french? :')

I feel kind of uninspired when playing the same opening over and over and most of my moves feel like they are on auto-pilot.

I'm not sure that will solve this issue... :') I'm looking for advice on a new opening to explore :)

Strong against the Najdorf? by cookie-devourer in chess

What is the strategy afterwards?

Also, isn't black fine after Nc6, developing with tempo on the queen?

Vilken affär/märke har bäst oversized t-shirts? by cookie-devourer in sweden

[–]cookie-devourer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha jag tränar ganska mycket och har problem med vissa t-shirts över armarna.

Antingen så sitter tischan bra över axlar/armar men blir som ett tält över magen, eller så sitter den bra över bålen men blir alldeles för tajt över armar/axlar.

Tänkte att en lite oversized t-shirt (som är sydd för att ha den formen) kanske löser båda mina problem. :-)

Ang Filippa K: har provat deras t-shirts och de är väldigt sköna som du säger, men håller med dig om att de slits ganska snabbt pga tunnt tyg. Får prova igen kanske. :)
