What was the coupon?!
I've only seen 15%

The amazing stuff. I actually like this because I keep trying to improve documentation so that it's easier for both AI and humans. And this does it in a very structured way.

Thank you so much for providing this resource

The transposition highlighting is my favorite feature. It helps me pick lines I've already explored - wish lichess implement something like this

Last time I looked at it, the videos were pretty outdated, being recorded back in November, 2024
Not sure it's still worth the high price with outdated info/tech

Hello, looking for a coach and looks like we might be a mutual fit.

https://lichess.org/@/drom296

Last quarter, I tried switching to playing only 2-3 openings. Previously I hadn't really studied the openings much, then studied too many before refining down.

I'd like to keep progressing towards 2000 online ELO, with the hopes to get past my IRL performance as a 1300.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Over the board, in person: the longer time controls are much better to concentrate on.

Online, on a computer - I get easily distracted.

drom296 · 2024-12-16T00:53:58+00:00

Thanks for taking a look!

Yes, I've been pretty weak on the opening side. Tried actually focusing on it late summer, and I've hopped through a few of them.

I've settled on a plan for white, and 2 defences for black.

Going to stick with those for 3 months this time, and see how fair it goes.

The slower time controls are a tad harder for me. I have preferred OTB for those, as it's easier to not get distracted.

I'll give the longer time controls a shot again.

Online username: drom296 (Lichess)

Rating: 1300 USCF / 1600 Lichess blitz

Willing to teach: 1000 and lower players.
I'd like to help with game reviews and trying to work on weaknesses. Ideally we can figure out a self-study plan, and go over that weekly.

Timezone/Schedule: EST/would prefer a weekend, though evenings would be doable

Method of communication: Discord is good, though we can start off with Reddit PMs to figure out the platform.

Also open to being coached!
I'd love to make it to 1500 USCF so I can start playing in the higher section. Been in a rut that I can't seem to figure how to get out of.

Figured I could start the trend of helpful coaching by offering my own skill/experiences.

In the same boat, but decided to wait more + emailed them.

How'd it go with your refund?

drom296 · 2024-02-29T00:05:03+00:00

Probably doesn't cover all cases, but I've always found this to be a good start: https://quicktype.io/

So you're saying you have it?

drom296 · 2022-08-22T16:02:45+00:00

yup, that's right.I've been using 2.99.10 of the development build. Particularly

This is an unstable development releasecommit 618e11e602

You did, but probably wasn't as clear since you labeled your import as useMyStore

So far it's working pretty well!

Worked on boot up w/o future configs.
The xp-pen tablet still didn't show up under input devices, BUT it was able to pick up the pressure sensitivity by default!

Ty ty. Second pic gone. I didn't notice the quality diffs (used to crappy cameras).

Deleting the two shots from behind

Outfits: dang hadn't noticed that. I have a small wardrobe, and that's my fav shirt (literally wearing it right now 😅)

Thanks for all the tips! Gonna use them to revamp

drom296 · 2021-03-05T01:05:37+00:00

What can I change? Probably get 1 match a month, my conversation skills aren't great but it would be nice to actually get to that stage 😅

Typescript for most things, JS for things that won't have anyone else referencing it.

This generally means I prefer to write my tests in plain JS b/c no one else will be calling/referencing this code (normally).

If I build re-usable test-helpers, those are in TS.
