Hey you. Yes, you. If you're here, I want you to know something important: your pain is real, and your feelings matter. Maybe you’re tired, even though you’ve done nothing all day.Maybe your chest feels heavy and your thoughts won’t be quiet.Maybe no one seems to notice how hard you’re trying just to function. You are not lazy. You are not broken. You are just human. Life doesn’t come with a easy mode. Some days, just existing takes all the strength you have — and that’s okay. The fact that you’re still here, reading this, means you’re stronger than you know. Please take things one moment at a time. Breathe. Drink some water. Cry if you need to. Laugh if you can. You don’t have to “fix” everything tonight. Just stay with us. 💌 This forum is your safe space - whether you want to vent, uplift others, or just read quietly in the background. You matter. You are loved. You belong here. - From someone who cares 🌙

From the analysis of accuracy, mistakes and finding the correct moves for master level and what I learnt and improved at each level for lower level always made me feel one thing. That same rating gap are not same. There are some common examples which I feel and you can feel free to verify them and give your opinion in the comments. Note that is how I think, I myself is still not completely sure From what I improved and learnt at each level to more further •400 and 800 have lower gap than 800 than 1200•1200 and 1400 have higher gap than 1400 and 1600 (Based on my games against 1600s while as 1400, while being a 1200 against 1400 I struggled to just not lose) From what I saw based on how masters of different level perform as per their own/ another strong player's analysis •2500 and 2650 have little higher gap than 2300 and 2450 2400 and 2500 have slightly higher gap than 2700 and 2800 •2100 and 2400 have higher gap than 1800 and 2100
For me, it's the typical How are you? The honest answer would be 'you don't care' but no one actually wants to hear that. It’s just one of those questions people ask out of habit, without expecting a real response
I have been looking for advise and proper training system for train and master the pawnless queen vs rook endgame. This endgame is too difficult that even GMs fail. If can win this endgame help me to be able to do so. EDIT: Its winning unless it reaches a forced drawing combination like berger's or philodor's draw

At just 19 years old, Divya Deshmukh has won the FIDE Women's World Cup 🏆 and, to make it even more epic, she also earned the Grandmaster title! 🎓 Good news for India. Congratulations! https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/chess/divya-deshmukh-is-a-chess-world-cup-winner-but-not-a-world-champion-yet-why/articleshow/123009033.cms

To be honest a lot of us have faced a lot, sometimes it feels like the odds are specifically against us. So for the next seven days i will be allowing dms to me, to give you the best advice i can give to a friend with full privacy no one will know just me and you and you dont need to tell me what you dont want to share. I said what i meant and i meant what i said, ladies honour one hundred percent.  Also note I'm not a therapist but i can provide solutions to the best of my ability before I'm gone for some time. And this is not a scam, i dont scam i would never ask anyone to send me anything. Let's continue to stay safe.
I’m curious about y’all’s mines is this…. When I was around 8 or 9 when we went hiking up a mountain China for my grandpas burial and funeral, My dumb self thought it would be a good idea to just be goofy and run around, I did almost fall on my face on the rock, but luckily I didn’t, while my family wasn’t paying attention sobering over my grandpas death, and I kept doing my thing and I almost fell off a mountain… also don’t ask me why I was goofing around at my grandpas funeral, I was 9 and I didn’t know any better 💀

For me, Neji getting skewered by a bunch of sticks is just absolutely mind blowing and outrageous. Portgas D. Ace dying for literally no reason after all that was done was wild. Then Itachi who was never actually a villain, Hiruzen who died after merely sealing Orochimaru's arms, Maes Hughes who was killed in the most unimaginable way possible. Among others. What are your picks?
