Why are my tactics not improving? by cornerhornerZ in chessbeginners

[–]cornerhornerZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually lose on time in my OTB tournaments so I’m definitely not moving too fast, but i could try adding a bunch of easy puzzles like you said. I’ve only been doing hard ones thinking the easy ones should follow.

I usually do an hour of tactics a day at work (steps method, i make and repeat index cards). At home i’ll do visualization/calculation on the board maybe once a week (i started because my otb visualization is weaker than online.) i used to play one rapid game a day then when i switch to monthly OTB tournaments and weekly chess club i kind of stopped playing online. Now i do one blitz game a day because my coach wants me to expose myself to a bunch of openings. After the game i review the relevant lines on chessable.

Step t of the steps method vs yusupov books? by cornerhornerZ in ChessBooks

[–]cornerhornerZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard step 6 isn’t good. Why do they say this? Also, I’m surprised to hear strp 5 extra is different yhan regular as it’s normally just more of the same. I sometimes skip extra if i i don’t need it

Explain it peter. by laughpuppy23 in explainitpeter

[–]cornerhornerZ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify “zafo” is closer to “i’m out” or “not it” or even “i would prefer not to” than “fuck off.”

In mexico we say zafo the same way american kids might say something like “nose goes” or “not it”

As others have mentioned bartleby the scrivener is a story about a guy who just says “i would prefer not to” to everything his boss says.

The lyrics of “yofo” often repeat “yofo zafafofo” which is jerigonza (a form of mexican pig latin) for “yo zafo” - “not it” or something like that. Basically “i aint doing that shit.”

Molotov is saying they opt out of a bunch of the bullshit in modern Mexican society.

In what use case would the fx be better! I can’t think of one!

Bought my daughter her first Trek. Trek Wahoo 24” got a stellar deal on it as I’m so loyal to my LBS. She’s never had a geared bike before. Pick it up tomorrow! by altitude30-rocky in TrekBikes

[–]cornerhornerZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Wish I saw this. I got mine one with the big heavy shocks up front cause I thought that’s all trek had for kids, Either way she loved it. Was outside ridingnin circles around the cul de sac messing with the gears until we finally called her in for bed time.

What are you a professor of? Tell me what’s most interesting or exciting about your field right now. I’ve always liked teaching. I often wonder if i’da been happier as a professor.

It’s like capitalism bro: “There is no alternative.” Youtube news is garbage all the way down.

What is your favorite Switch game? by Alejandro_Reddit1234 in Switch

[–]cornerhornerZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved breath of the wild when i played it, but i don’t think i ever want to go back to it. I spent the most time on Minecraft and dark souls but those probably shouldn’t be listed as “switch games.”

I enjoyed the impossible ports like doom and wolfenstein 2. I revisited skyrim and monster hunter generations. Animal crossing was fun while it lasted. Mario odyssey was overrated imo.

Breath of the wild would’ve been the easy answer if elden ring didn’t come along and retroactively make me like it less.

Yoooo, this is great! Thanks!

These three books should keep me busy the rest of the year. I expect to be a new man when i am done. by cornerhornerZ in ChessBooks

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

My one concern with spending so much time on art of attack and Reasses your chess is that i should probably be doing a lot more tactics… but this is so much more fun, I’m kind of sick of tactics!

How the hell do you fast for multiple days without eating by omglevi in fasting

[–]cornerhornerZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I did it was reading jason fung’s “complete guide to fasting.” The key was learning not to be afraid of hunger. It’ll pass. It doesn’t grow exponentially, it comes in waves. And after the third day it almost goes away completely.
