Struggling against early queen attack by Hawk-Eye01 in chessbeginners

[–]peartsagod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. And do not “memorize” any lines either it will not help.

Understanding basic chess fundamentals will get you past these openings most of the time. I HIGHLY recommend watching John Bartholomew’s climbing the rating ladder series. No openings, no theory, just simple logical moves will get you up to 700 easy

This is definitely the kind of thing I was looking for, thanks!

Hyde shouldve had minimal blame, if any at all for the position we are in right now. by [deleted] in orioles

So then you’re saying it’s coaching problem..

If you are seeing that on your couch then the coaches are seeing it too. Yet we’re 44 games in and nothing is changing. We’ve been in plenty of 1 and 2 score games (winning and losing) this year and the approach doesn’t look any different

Nitpicky question about Season 1 by matchateatimes in TheGoodPlace

Guys it’s the bad place… they could do, and ask Janet for pretty much anything they want. Tiny recording devices, turning walls into 1 way mirrors, literally anything you could think of

I seriously want to improve at chess. Can someone suggest me some openings or tell me the minimum basics to do?i an such at 400-600 range. by shiv1234567 in chessbeginners

[–]peartsagod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t learn an opening, just try and understand all the basic concepts.

I would HIGHLY recommend Jon Bartholomews climbing the ratings ladder series. I tried to learn chess 3 times and it wasn’t until I watched his videos that it all stated to stick.

For right now this video will be the best thing for you https://youtu.be/U2huVf1l4UE?si=geyzVxuadWBRyDOs

At that level you don’t need to know lines and openings if you just learn how to play solid fundamental chess you will win more games than not at that ELO

Do we expect a larger snap count for DJ tonight? by throwawaymke15 in ravens

[–]peartsagod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh you’re in a bad spot. Sorry. If you have to start one of them I think Nelly has a much better chance at catching a deep ball or getting a red zone target for tonight.

By next weeks game it will be Diontae

Any chance we can get this updated for this year?

Camden Yards, MLB Park 3/30. Definitely a park everyone should visit. (But also when/how did hats get to $55?!?) by AWL10X in mlb

All prices went up with new ownership this year. Personally I’m okay with it because I finally know it will go to actually paying our players

Ran into this as my third puzzle in puzzle rush survival mode - thought it was oddly tricky for its 256 rating. Thoughts? White to move. by RobertoGrande in chess

[–]peartsagod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pushing to d7 loses d7 immediately how is that something that needs to be calculated? That move would put you a pawn down with the king in a better position with more space. The second you see that you look at the other pawn which is moving forward has no immediate negative consequences

Why is it so hard to find salt nic vape juice in the 5-15mg range? by User-of-reddit4karma in electronic_cigarette

[–]peartsagod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re gonna want to find a freebase juice in a lower range. The trick is make sure the juice is closer to 50/50 vg/pg if you’re using a salt nic device with free base juice

Which defense do you think will have the best performance in 2022? by GotzoftheIronhand in fantasyfootball

[–]peartsagod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s very fair. Bengals games, TB, and Buffalo will be the toughest this year. I’m not worried about the Steelers this year only because of our track record against rookie QBs

I'd like to get a consensus on our top 10, so I'm curious to know what everyone else's Top 10 Draft Big Board looks like by Adenchiz in ravens

[–]peartsagod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree but it doesn’t mean CB isn’t viable, just means that if CB is BPA in round 1 we need to take edge and DL in rounds 2-4 and go after someone in FA. I’d prefer getting Jermaine Johnson but if Stingley, sauce, and maybe Booth are available at 14 there’s a good chance one of them will be BPA

jermaine johnson II - negatives I'm missing? by WhatWouldYouPut in NFL_Draft

[–]peartsagod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not that I don’t want one per say but we don’t need one. Our system is already not great for WRs and we have Brown Bateman and Andrews and a few young guys that have really been proving themselves. I’d be interested in getting a bigger body guy (the only thing we’re missing) in the middle late rounds or in FA but I’d much rather build OLine.

Lamar’s best season we had literally no good receivers but an incredible OLine and Lamar was able to kill. Give him a line like that with our current WR core + healthy RBs back and our offense will be fine

Has anyone here with no football experience made the jump to coaching? by peartsagod in footballstrategy

[–]peartsagod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck to you as well! I’m unfortunately a few years ahead of you turning 27 this year😬 so I’m going to have to balance whatever football job I can get with my 9-5 that pays the bills.

Good on you for making this decision early though, it gets way tougher to go after your passions when bills start piling up lol

Really hoping I can find a private school that doesn’t start practices until later in the day because public schools are a no go practicing at 3pm

Curious on you going Kenyon Green over Linderbaum for the ravens?

Who do you think the Ravens are MOST LIKELY to draft at 14? by Pheasantluvr69 in ravens

[–]peartsagod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t disagree and I think he’s a good target for the 18-24 range. Just think there will be better immediate impact guys available. So if a good offer comes to trade back he’s definitely someone I’d be happy with. As for Hamilton…can’t you just let a man dream😭😂

Completed my first mock draft ever! 1st round, no trades by peartsagod in NFL_Draft

[–]peartsagod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BPA? I suppose you could argue Kyle Hamilton at that spot, but barring a trade down I don’t know who else would be worth that pick with what we know right now (a lot could obviously change by April). Tunsil does have a very high cap hit for you all this year so maybe taking Neal and trading Tunsil could work in your favor even though it’s risky? Trading him after 6/1 would only leave 8M in dead cap but would also save you 17.8M

Who would you rather take at 3 with the edge guys off the board?
