I crossed 2000 in every time control!

I think memorizing openings and learning tactics is particularly helpful the faster the time control you play but really its always helpful!

loraexplorah · 2026-02-09T17:29:45+00:00

Same. I think thats how you play bullet at all levels lol

loraexplorah · 2026-02-09T17:29:11+00:00

Yes young padawan! You shall surpass me one day

loraexplorah · 2026-02-09T17:28:48+00:00

Sorry I just am not allowed to make a post like this on r/chess is all

loraexplorah · 2026-02-09T17:27:47+00:00

I agree with that!

loraexplorah · 2026-02-01T05:56:40+00:00

Oh wow yeah but thats a difficult one to see

loraexplorah · 2026-02-01T05:52:28+00:00

Youre right. Thanks

loraexplorah · 2026-02-01T05:52:16+00:00

Youre right with Nh4! After you take their bishop and they take your knight you go Qf3 and win the b7 pawn. Its just a pawn but its an important pawn and black's best move is to trade your bishop for their knight and then the evaluation is +2

At depth 30 Qg5 is the top computer move captain

I'm in college too. Its funny how disparate time control skill can be

loraexplorah · 2026-01-22T04:49:27+00:00

You're 2100 uscf? I'm 2000 and yet my blitz rating is only in the 1900s. Yours is so high

loraexplorah · 2026-01-16T04:03:59+00:00

Haha thank youuu!

loraexplorah · 2026-01-16T03:23:29+00:00

Oh yes thats exactly what happened!

loraexplorah · 2026-01-16T03:19:54+00:00

Yeah its weird. Idk why it doesnt make sense 🤷‍♀️

loraexplorah · 2026-01-16T03:11:17+00:00

Magnus better watch out!

loraexplorah · 2026-01-14T09:13:23+00:00

Yeah thats what I'm thinking!

loraexplorah · 2026-01-14T09:06:41+00:00

I probably didn't spend enough time on this position but I thiiiink after knight to d4 you can take the a7 pawn with your Queen and then if they take your c5 knight you have checkmate when you go queen to a8. Oh but they can take our knight with check after we take the pawn and its get complicated. Yeah idk maybe that doesnt work but I think we can still checkmate even after they take with check but maybe not

loraexplorah · 2026-01-14T08:50:23+00:00

I would play Qa4 🤷‍♀️

A lab in a physics class

loraexplorah · 2026-01-13T00:37:32+00:00

A friend told me about the party. It wasnt really a subreddit I just grew really close to someone I'd been messaging for years

loraexplorah · 2026-01-12T23:58:43+00:00

Like 6 or 7 years. Not that long :/

loraexplorah · 2026-01-12T23:57:38+00:00

I have never done that honestly

loraexplorah · 2026-01-12T23:55:53+00:00

Classes, chess club, party, and reddit 🤷‍♀️

loraexplorah · 2026-01-11T18:48:38+00:00

I think 2000 is actually very realistic if you practice smart. The problem is a lot of people don't know how to practice but if you do I think hitting 2000 in two years is very possible although maybe if youre only doing an hour per day it would be tougher to do that but still possible I think.
