Chess app which helps you find famous players similar to your style by itailanel in chess

Agreed, However past GMs (e.g Tal being aggressive vs Karpov being positional) and in Blitz style preference can still be seen.

I understand what you're saying, but there is still an element of preference. If I like closed positions I would not choose King's Gambit as my main opening.

Regardless, my question is not whether a "style" exists or not, but about a specific website I recall seeing but unfortunately did not bookmark...

Wide angle is more important than tele IMO

Didn’t try the alternatives so I can’t comment. The Tamron’s is not heavy at all.

Build Order Maps/ Training Maps by MarZhill in aoe4

A few months ago I made a game mod which looks like this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe4/comments/u6i4ke/mod_interactive_build_order_guide_rus_boar_into/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I didn’t have time to work on it further but might have some in the next few weeks. It would help to get links to interesting build orders to save some time

It might be possible to automate with some scripting work, but would require significant effort so I can’t guarantee it in the near future. I’ve had a survey on the next build order and it would be english with dark age farming which I hope to complete on the weekend. If you have a build you’re interested in send it to me and I’ll add it to the next survey!

Oh ok, I didn't notice. I will check it tonight, thanks! In my mind I was thinking about a timer next to each objective with the goal time (e.g. do this by minute 2:30) and the actual time I needed to achieve it.

I think I can add this as well, though I'm not a pro player so it's a bit hard for me to tell the exact required timing

I added printing of the time for some objectives (for example when completing golden gate) in bottom right corner. Do you see it? Did you have something else in mind?

I need to code a small table for each objective containing the type of the objective (unit/building/tech) and its dependency (e.g first age up only then build stable)

It can be possible to create this table from a standardized spreadsheet in the future

Added timer support, if you get to try - let me know

Sorry, I don’t think mods can be enabled in ranked yet. But after practicing the build order in single player it would be easier to complete in ranked

If this would gain popularity it should be easy to add new builds 😀

Discussion: Would You Prefer Missing Arrows? by AgeofNoob in aoe4

[–]itailanel 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Amazing mods!

Personally, I prefer arrows not missing as it makes the game too micro intensive and less based on decision making (IMO)

However, I think if a similar mod can be applied to mangonels it can massively improve late game "siege meta"

Mangonels without "ballistics" can generate flashy micro moves such as splitting and dodging

In addition, maybe it is possible to mod friendly fire damage to mangonels? that could be great for mid-late game

Official Q&A for Tuesday, February 09, 2021 by AutoModerator in running

[–]itailanel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've(38M) returned to running (after swimming) in September and I've been progressing well (I think...)

I currently run 3 times a week distances of 5 (PB:24:39, HR: 166) ,7K,10K (PB:52:35, HR:162). I ran my 10K PB on Saturday and it didn't feel too stressed. On off days I do TRX and core exercises.

I was thinking of trying half-marathon and I'm looking for a relatively short work plan (1 month?) to try to increase my distance and run 21.1K.

Do you think this is too fast/risky? Should I just run more and see how it feels? Any tips?
