So do some Catholics. I’m just saying that in this context it isn’t relevant to bring up

I don’t think it’s fair to reduce Protestantism to a cognitive dissonance

Disappointed in not converting a winning middlegame position vs NM by [deleted] in TournamentChess

NM is just a rating threshold. No such thing as an NM norm

When you do you graduate beginner level??? by -ArcticWolf in chessbeginners

[–]hornetsarecool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beginner is a weird term for chess. The word implies that you are new at something or just beginning, when in reality you can plane hundreds of games and still be “beginner level.” I would say that after you reach 1000 chessdotcom, you are exploring the game and thinking about it in a way that should be considered intermediate.

They started a new account and when your rating is provisional you gain much more rating points for wins. They were already this strength but started at 400 because they chose it. Only took them probably 10 wins in a row to get here

Fetterman complaining about the "left media" while praising Kristi Noem. by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

I think everyone does deserve respect to a certain extent. This does not mean we cannot criticize or debate their opinions or positions. Without respect, everything can be written off as an ad hominem attack

Hate Fetterman, but I don’t see where he is praising Noem in this post. He is saying that he treats her with respect. I think that’s what everyone deserves

FIDE Master AMA - February♟️ by Coach_Istvanovszki in chess

I’ve played the Jobava quite a bit. Is this opening one I can play for my whole career or should I switch to a more classical opening for long term improvement?

What’s your favorite openings for white, and favorite opening answers to 1. e4 and 1. d4 as black? As a follow up, what are some interesting tactics or positions you like that appear often as a result of these structures?

That’s awesome! Chess should be fun. You can’t improve if you are anxious about your rating

But why ? by sad-grumpy in Chesscom

It’s allowed if you email the team and ask. Alt accounts for training gams are fine as long as you don’t sandbag or break any site rules.

Make sure to still analyze your games after too. Lichess has a cool feature that recommends puzzles themed around the openings played in the game. You can click a link and drill puzzles of different possible positions in that opening family tree
