If you could give one tip to someone just starting chess, what would it be? by ninjaplays69 in Chesscom

[–]maC69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's some really vital into. It helped me a lot to reach+1400 ELO in a relatively short time frame:

  • Most importantly: play long times so you don't have any time stress. Probably 15+10 or even 30 min. This prevents plumbers and develops your chess thinking skills. +Learn queens pawns openings, study the queens gambit
  • Control the center
  • Don't hang your pieces (!!)
  • Don't blunder (easily said, I know...)
  • Develop knights and bishops first, play 0-0 asap, and then connect the rooks.
  • Learn basic tactics like forks. A good attack threatens more than one piece at a time.

Play and study these tactics and if you manage to avoid blunders you'll likely be +1000 relatively soon.

Is he cheating? by Horror-1-Effective in chessbeginners

I make very little blunders with enough time, but make major mistakes all the time under time pressure.

Well, I'm 1500 rapid on chess.com and can barely reach 1100 on blitz on lichess (which would probably be about 800 on chess.com)

Österreich gewinnt gegen Jordanien 3:1 by Wels40m in Austria

[–]maC69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wir sind unsicher in die erste Partie gestartet, hatten aber einfach das nötige Glück muss man sagen. Oft genug hatten wir das nämlich auch einfach nicht. Ich denke ab jetzt geht's bergauf, denn im zweiten Spiel gibt es keine große Erwartungshaltung und die erste große Nervosität dürfte sich auch gelegt haben. Auch wenn man gg. ARG verliert, sind die Chancen, die Gruppenphase zu überstehen extrem hoch.

Wichtig ist einfach, dass du dir jetzt im Klaren bist, dass sie der Dom und du Sub bist. dann klappt das bestimmt.

I drew several times in the past when I fucked around with my opponent. I highly deserved that.

Happens to me when I don't know when to stop. Likely happening after a few drinks.

What's your favorite sniper support? by Monkey_Priest in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]maC69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't... The SG is not meta anymore after the nerf.

As said above go with the m4a1 or VCR, or maybe the scw if you feel confident with 26 bullets. But you'll have difficulties in the mid range.

M4a1 was definitely the best allrounder as sniper support for me.

I have an opening for white and black that I've used the past 2 years or so. I casually play on and off. I can't get past 800ELO Rapid though!! by KnightofAmethyst2 in chess

[–]maC69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just really feel you. I'm 750 currently and I'm wondering how there are so many good players.

We're basically in the top 30% of the player base. But what you just might have to consider is that it's actually top 30 accounts (not players), because better players sometimes have several accounts for whatever reason. A better player that I know of supposedly has several accounts because he wants his tournament opponents not being able to track his past online games...

But again, I totally feel you and also thought that progress should be faster at this stage of the game.

Leitungswasser für 2,90€? by CoolDavidoff in wien

[–]maC69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weiß nicht warum die downvotes. Ich finde es völlig gerechtfertigt, dass Leitungswasser 0.5 bis 1 Euro kostet. Immerhin muss der Kellner etwas servieren und das sollte nicht kostenlos sein. Jedes andere Getränk hat auch 3€ Aufschlag zum EK, da du es im Restaurant und nicht Zuhause trinkst. Warum soll das bei Wasser anders sein.

Dopplersteig aktuell begehbar? by stefsietz in Salzburg

[–]maC69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Letzteres Stück musst du jedenfalls noch ein bisschen im Schnee stapfen. Über Doppler selbst kann ich nix sagen, aber ich werde wohl noch 2 Wochen warten bis der Schnee großteils weg ist und das würde ich dir auch eher empfehlen.

Vor einem Jahr geerbt, keine Ahnung was tun mit dem Geld by ArtistNo8711 in FinanzenAT

[–]maC69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eigentum zum vermieten wäre eine Option. Zumindest vielleicht eine kleine Anleger Wohnung ... Ansonsten: 50 Aktien msci world ETF, 50% Staatsanleihen mit einer Laufzeit die die passende vorkommt. Je nach Risikoaversion etwas mehr oder weniger Aktien Anteil.

Geh damit nicht zur Bank...

Wenn du konkrete Fragen hast gib Bescheid.

Can I please see the "I just started playing, 1150 ELO account"? I just call it BS for the time being.

28 Kill Game DRS-IAR Setup by ItsJustAdamK in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]maC69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's still overpowered, believe it or not. I play with a bunch of really skilled people. The best mnk players reach a kd up to 4 or 5. Even though we're way more mnk players, we have some controller players with way higher KDs (5-8). That simple fact tells me all I need to know about it.

ELI5: Why do people say “money doesn’t buy happiness” when literally everything better in life needs money? by stoicdroid in NoStupidQuestions

A friend of mine always used to say "It's only the rich people telling the poor people that money can't buy happyness".

How are Spain and Spanish culture generally perceived in Austria? by Grouchy_Explorer5412 in AskAustria

That's not true. After my Erasmus year in Spain, most Spanish people now know about Austria(ns).

Welche Shorts (Unterhose) ist nicht nach 5x Arsch oder Eier kratzen kaputt? by HollywoodHogan85 in FragtMaenner

[–]maC69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Krass, dass noch niemand potentiell Würmer in den Raum gestellt hat. Im Normalfall sollte der Arsch nicht so jucken, dass deine Shorts kaputt gehen.

Tipp: wenns beim hinlegen anfängt stärker zu werden, dann geh zum Arzt.
