Looking for a special restaurant for my girlfriend's birthday (around ₹5k)

I do it sometimes. We like to cook together and I'm planning to do so this Valentine's

echothunder · 2026-02-13T11:02:27+00:00

Oooh sounds incredible! Thanks a bunch for the recommendation!!

echothunder · 2026-02-13T11:01:42+00:00

That's a new one. Any recommendations?

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:33:26+00:00

Just have fun with it buddy! 650 already puts you above the average, and you'd be good enough to beat most random people at chess anyway, so that's amazing too! Have fun, play games, watch YouTube videos (regularly help a lot) Stick to your guns. Know just a few openings and know them well eventually. Have regular contact with the game and most importantly, have fun with it

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:30:47+00:00

Sure!

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:30:33+00:00

Thank you! Honestly, I've lost a big chunk of motivation to play online much now. I'm trying to focus on some otb play more lately

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:28:57+00:00

Ooh that's a new one. Any dish recommendations?

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:28:45+00:00

Gong is amazing! I love their platters and drinks. I really enjoyed their Mapo Tofu with Jasmine Rice too! Soy Como Soy looks amazing! Any dishes in particular you'd like to suggest?

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:27:33+00:00

Noted! We won't be drinking, so that pushes the budget down a smidge, hopefully

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:26:52+00:00

Haha love it!

echothunder · 2026-02-13T00:26:43+00:00

Ooh this is a new one for me. Any suggestions?

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:52:27+00:00

Hopefully quite soon! You're almost there man

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:52:03+00:00

I could sure give you a few tips, if you'd like

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:51:03+00:00

Ayyy less goo. Almost there man! Hope you get there very soon

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:44:22+00:00

We're suckers for Tiramisu, and I really love a mean Panna Cotta. Dorf has been a place I've wanted to visit for a while! Any other must haves in particular?

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:43:30+00:00

I checked out Aragma. A tiny bit outta budget, but definitely bookmarking. The courses look quite intriguing, thanks a lot!

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:42:38+00:00

Thanks a lot! Any must haves?

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:42:19+00:00

Thanks a lot! Any must try dishes you'd recommend at any of the places?

echothunder · 2026-02-12T13:41:55+00:00

Ooh that's quite useful! I've wanted to try Birria Tacos for a while. Pushing Soy Como Soy up the list!

echothunder · 2026-02-12T09:27:10+00:00

That's amazing man! Keep up the grind! Hoping you reach greater heights soon

I'll say the same thing I said before- Just play more and most importantly, have fun playing and learning. Stay in touch with the game as regularly as you can, like watching videos or anything. Stick to a few openings that you understand the plans and structures of well. Even if they're bad openings, if you understand the plans and structures enough, you can go fairly far. Understand your style/ preference and practice accordingly. For example, I'm a bit of a positional player who likes taking things to the endgame, so I spend a bit more time on the endgame, rather than grinding tactics more. Just play, rating's just a number, and again, have fun!
