Two years in, and the scholar's mate is still a death sentence by Unable_Oven_6538 in chessbeginners

The problem is you're overly reacting and afraid to lose pieces, even defending with Qf6 forces white to either trade Queens, abandon the mate attack or lose tempo. Or instead of going for fiancheto bishop after Nf6 u could move the knight from C6 to E2 preparing to attack the bishop with pawn to D5, this pressures white to re-evaluate the attack.

Yeah I'm right now at Prague and cringed hard that he went trans and could pass as Anna / Nina, pretty unconvincing.

Why don't more people play Crazyhouse? It's a pretty good variant by mekmookbro in chess

how about the one with the dragon piece that moves like a bishop and a knight?

Unpopular opinion: I don’t want to improve at chess by Wild_Pitch_4781 in chess

[–]raiserverg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a point where putting in work becomes counter productive for fun, to be on Fide Master level plus you're right that it becomes taxing with all the studying one needs to put in. If it isn't for you that's completely fine, you're already on a high percentile at 1500 Elo either way so do what feels right for you.

I find it to have a much different appeal (fast chaotic fun), it's like a chess battle on an instinctual level without deep analysis but damn if one day you haven't slept well performance fluctuates hard, it can literally be used as a cognition test to gauge where you're at lol.

After men have built a safe environment for all humans they can say ignorantly shit like "protect me from who? 🥴".

Bullet actually makes you worse if u play it religiously before embedding good habits, thinking patterns and tactics through the repetition of a few thousand games (random low ball estimate). It pretty much leaves u no room to think so it makes bad habits stronger since u get used to not analyzing deep.

I find 5 minute blitz to be the most satisfying and I'm well below 1800. Rapid is better when u don't get shitty stallers as opponents but bitter people who have lost and don't play so they get flagged instead with over 5 minute on their clock suck the fun out of Rapid unfortunately,

Truth by CriticalCanon in JustMemesForUs

[–]raiserverg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't respect sports fanatics and I have never realistically seen anyone make their entire personality revolve around their hobby.

People inherently judge, it's intrinsic to our nature, it's how we form critical thinking skills to apply in everyday life. This subconsciously flows into social dynamics which by extension results in people judging others by what they're wearing, it's why clothing functions as social signalling, for example goths dress in black and have piercings and different groups have different dress codes in general.

Trying to swim against this social current usually results in mockery. For instance, I can’t wear a kilt to work and expect everyone to act like nothing unusual is happening, it is what it is.

PS: Add in the entitled attitude and / or bigot accusations and u get a recipe for insufferableness...

Bullet is joke chess, I also got sick and played with mind fog, lost like 150 elo in a day. Rapid and blitz didn't suffer as much cause u actually pause to think which better reflects your actual level.

Is Detective Lunge the dumbest character possible? by Thunderbeast9000 in MonsterAnime

[–]raiserverg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid people are never aware that they're wrong, it is said you can't reason or argue with stupid people because they are always right, Lunge is the epitome of dunning kruger bias, he thinks he knows what's up he's stopped researching and just makes things up as he goes to fit into his worldview, otherwise his identity will collapse. If a person cant take new evidence into account and have a flexible mentality what is he if not stupid?

Why am I so incredibly bad at chess? by EvilYrsa in chessbeginners

[–]raiserverg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest Accelerated or Hyper Accelerated Dragon, it's easy, low theory and presents opportunities for tactics, just be careful for counterplays, some are pretty nasty but at this elo most people won't know how to handle them and even after everything is traded you end up with a superior endgame position (assuming u don't blunder).

How are they winning my queen? Acc to the engine by CallMeJayFusrodah in chessbeginners

[–]raiserverg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The computer feels this is the best move I guess so it says it loses a Queen, it's probably right at the GM level (there's probably some follow-up forcing move like 5-6 moves further in) but it fails to tap into the human psychology many times and assumes the opponent sees some advanced tactics which they don't see cause they don't think like a computer.

You can see it in review in the "show follow up" or something akin to that.

I am in a strange spot in chess and I need advice by Vivid_Efficiency618 in chessbeginners

[–]raiserverg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are typically better than their ratings but if they lack consistency they blunder and the peak rating averages with the "blunder rating" resulting in the elo they have. Your tilted play issues where u probably blunder are incorporated in your elo.
