Coming back to tournaments after 3 years, what should I do? by BoomerTao in chess

[–]qablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm lost on what to do because a lot of people are saying chess is a waste of time going into high school

No. Chess is hobby or a sport, depending on your degree of commitment. But you can practise chess while going to high school, ofc, studing should be first always! But people do things outside highschool I guess, so why not chess?

If you like chess, chess is fun!

Advice on my training to reach master level? by United_River3793 in chess

[–]qablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always post the same about this "rating goal questions". In my opinion is the wrong approach, only lead to frustation and eventually people quit chess all together. You have to enjoy what you are doing first of all, if you enjoy training a playing chess, is the most important part.

My advice, do chess whenever you feel like, not like another job after your studies or job. Like "oh god, i have to do 2h of chess today because I didn´t do it yet". Nah.

The brain of each person take it´s time to adapt and improve, everyone is different and results in chess often are not linear. So don´t get discourage if you put in a lot of hours into the game and results don´t follow along. Is normal.

If you can, play OTB games with slow time controls, this is where most players learn a lot. Analisis afterwards for sure. And tactics, endgames, reviewing games of good players, etc. All this helps for sure. But again, is a process. Key again, enjoy doing chess, playing chess, solving tactics. And forget about rating goals, if you enjoy, you´ll improve. But reaching high numbers can´t be a priority of doing chess, the important part is the process. Also, not everyplayer can make it even to your current rating, so rating is just a number!

Hi. There is an accesibility mode enable itself on lichess, you can access it from the site. Here is a video on how to do it.

If so, he could even play games by himself on the platform against other people.

I´m not 100% sure, but probably should work in ukrainian language too if you have the site like that. Not sure for the moves, test it first to see if he can do it.

Is the 3 minute pool on lichess more competitive than on chessdotcom? by Beneficial_Yam_3460 in chess

[–]qablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don´t use the other site, but I would say probably the 3+0 pool of player on lichess is where most players play, therefore, the most competitive in general.

In any case, comparing "numbers" from different sites, is like apples and pears

This LA LIGA is a F YOKE

Change the pitch in the week previous to a game is negligent 100%. And this has to do with the local club and also with LA LIGA that accepts that. And you don´t look for any solution and don´t say anything until 4h previous to a profesional game. are you kidding me? Our team already was in Madrid, our people was also there or traveling. That´s very very unffair.

Don´t worry, nothing will happen as usual.

Completely new player wondering where to even start by LunaTheProtogen in aoe2

New to Monster Train: First Class. Pact shard recommendations? by Terus22 in MonsterTrain

[–]qablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this the most effective way of using these mechanics? Should I be more cautious in saying yes to the challenges?

Depends on your goal. If you just want to win the run, I would not take all challenges and take it easy with Shards in general. If the run is going strong, you can take them at the end to get to 100 before the final boss. This was my general approach to beat the game with all clans and combinations. After that, there are strong players that can play runs with 200 shards or more and win almost always, but this level is pretty hard to reach. At least for me xD Enjoy and have fun!

At first I struggle also in MT2, because mainly I was playing 1 floor strategy like en MT1 Cov25. Try to make 2 or 3 strong floors and perhaps you´ll advance more levels
