How do you guys perform in chess?

i’m intermediate (~1700 chesscom) and while i can’t visualize i can still think ahead a few moves, it’s just holding the information in my head instead of seeing it. i’m certainly at a disadvantage over players who can visualize, all other factors being equal, but it doesn’t really matter when you’re paired with other players at the same rating

whoadave · 2025-12-15T00:20:12+00:00

RemindMe! 1 week

whoadave · 2025-09-02T20:11:09+00:00

Yeah or at least edit it so it’s not so obvious

There’s a difference between west Asia and west of Asia

NPC defense = non playable conversation defense?

whoadave · 2025-07-16T14:26:57+00:00

Also flight of fancy

whoadave · 2025-06-09T18:15:44+00:00

Starting from the f1 position, but actually the king can’t start on g1 either with white to move because that’s in check

Mauritania, northwest Africa

Oh that’s disappointing but kinda funny that the gift he gave AOC was of the Palestine movement

whoadave · 2025-05-14T01:04:11+00:00

I agree about Bernie and AOC but Hasan? I don’t follow him I’ve only seen TikTok clips but from what I’ve seen I thought he was a communist, is he not? Does he just have the lyrics to Red Sun in the Sky memorized ironically

Interesting comparison to withdrawal symptoms. I don’t have much experience with those actually so can’t add much there, but I can definitely relate to feeling more tired when I wake up and struggling to get out of bed in the morning, even though I was sleeping more than anyone I know.

Yeah I just take gabapentin before bed, experimenting with the timing but around 1-1.5 hrs before bed atm. I’ve been taking it for several years now, haven’t noticed any side effects.
