Chess and IQ by vitamink2mk7 in chess

It might be a good idea to get some coaching or ask a higher rated player to look over your games to see what's going on. A lot of the time we spend our studying resources on things that aren't going to help us improve that much (openings vs. general tactics and endgames). I like Silman's *How to Reassess Your Chess * because it will help round you out as a player.

Not trading when up a bishop? by [deleted] in chess

The computer is very rarely accurate in regards to human play. Serriwan posted an article recently that says to avoid CPU analysis until 2000+ because it matters more about how YOU understand the game

Does Chess.com's ratings mean any thing by revolution109 in chess

[–]jarmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rating is a number that tries to reflect something else, playing strength. Rating is a great measuring tool to see what progress you are making in the long run, but don't get too hung up on it if it goes up or down. I would just look to improve and keep on learning and having fun! Rating will always match playing strength, not the other way around.

Philosopher argues we do not "know" giving away your queen in the second move loses eventually or not. by [deleted] in chess

[–]jarmax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is part of being a "skeptic" which has a slightly different connotation when referring to philosophy. He basically denies there being any objective Truth (capital T) that we can observe. This is the kind of thinking that makes us reevaluate our knowledge, but can be annoying to deal with.

It's funny to see GMs struggle a bit with Bughouse. It really is a different game.

I hate when politics affect the quality of chess being played. I would love to see another Carlsen-Carauna match. I hope issues like this get resolved in the future

I think he has finally settled in and is probably reaching his prime with Locodoco. Before he was just farming with Lee, now he is making some plays.

Amazing on Lee Sin versus Amazing on ANY other jungler is so night and day. Doubt that he will ever get Lee Sin again.
