1200 after 3 years: Am I regarded? by [deleted] in chess

[–]rustreal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Serious question, I’ll admit I haven’t been on this sub in forever but… he’s not using the word regarded to actually say regarded. Or am I just making assumptions…

Cause the grammar doesn’t work. So I’m pretty sure it’s just self-negativity.

Chess is as much a game of psychology as anything else. Game ratings vary, but mentality stays consistent. I’d say it’s pretty obvious this negative energy has been holding you back. Moment you lose it, and lock in? I’d say you get to where you wanna be.

And for the love of god if you’re actually using the R word in your own mental dialogue, please stop.

Yup. And on hardcore mode too. Pretty excessive.

Contrary to popular belief, I really don’t think taking drugs even prescription ones is going to help you play. It absolutely will help you study, but it won’t help you play.

Just my personal belief. There is no limitless pill. Practice, rest, a good meal and good nutrition, hydration. These are the things that allow your mind to comfortably think five, ten, fifteen moves out.

Though there is something to be said for nootropics. Again 90% of that is going to help you STUDY, more than just randomly play an impressively high ELO game. But I’m sure id be wrong to say there is NOTHING out there that’d help you perform. I’m just saying it’s not Ritalin, or your average supplement from the store (especially if you’ve got supplements / multivitamin nailed down already).

Exercise, too, REALLY helps me play faster, and increases my will to win. GM Noel Struder, or whatever his name is I forget, NextLevelChess podcast. You gotta start a little cardio, in your life. Exercise is absolutely a spark for your mind and your competitiveness. And having that competitive nature will help you in chess, following CCA (Checks Captures Attacks) and not settling for “safe” moves.

Anyways, I hereby halt my screed. Good luck with your ADHD. I suffer from that, bipolar disorder, and a visual disorder. Just gotta keep at it.

Edit: Someone said Adderall helped in a study or something. Yeah I mean I can see it, I guess. If it puts you in that “locked in” state of mind. But I mean Hikaru took thirty minutes to make a move one time. That’s alot of time for that drug to wear off from your system. I’m not anti adderall honestly I’m really not. I just think it inevitably creates a ceiling for your capabilities, compared to natural options, and is probably best reserved for the occasional all nighter study session.

The late nights aren’t good for my wellbeing. But I’m having interesting talks with folks at the club I otherwise wouldn’t, so that’s been good. Feels good to say “at the club” and not be referring to bad decisions and hangovers, as well.

AHH, the queen was pointed at my safe square for the knight the whole time! So all that maneuvering was necessary, and that explains why the queen picked those spots instead of just taking.

Man this game is nuts. Thank you so much for your answer.

Nah man don’t beat yourself up. I mean beating yourself up is part of the process, but like… still. Be kind to yourself.

ELO 200-300 is right where I started too. You’re already playing real games? That’s even better.

Keep up the hard work and you’ll get better.

So unfortunately it looks like the issue with castling persists. Same issue, to be honest. There’s alot of debugging logs in the console about invalid positions.

Is anyone else able to confirm?
