The U1450 section consistently has fewer players than the Open section. Sometimes the low number of players causes issues with pairings. I'd like to suggest that the lower section be U1600 or U1700, so that it will be closer in size to the Open section.

When in the month does the US top 100 lists get updated? When in the month do the FIDE ratings get updated?

I recently played a chess game when my opponent played this: (I'm black) I know it's worse for him in the long run for a multitude of reasons, but I don't want to double my pawns, which is what he wants. If I move my piece twice then I'll lose my tempo. How should I counter this?

Not the best game, but 94.8 accuracy, played like a 2500, and destroyed the Sicilian. very instructive game too.

I'm studying the Vienna Game (And some of the Bishops Opening) and want to know your win/loss ratio with those openings.

I have a few questions. How do you play the King's Indian attack? Do you think there is any resources that could help me learn it? And what are the win rates for playing it for y'all

Earlier when I selected the advanced bot, Isla, its name was "Isla 2" instead of "Isla". Anybody else seeing this?

How do I get better. I am 800 now, but I want around 1100 by the end of the year. What should I do?

I really struggle with USCF rated tournaments. I feel like my rating pools are just so much higher then what they should be. I have about a 1200 uscf and I feel like it should be higher since I see so many 1300s and others with higher ratings of 1300+ uscf. I guess I shouldn't care about rating too much but then again, it kinda stings you when someone much lower rated has a higher uscf.

Hi, I'm trying to look for chess clubs to join in the summer, could you please give me a few recommendations?
I live in St.Louis and go to a chess club called, "Chess Cardinals." I play OTB here and I am now 1300 USCF after a few months of going there. I am trying to find a new club near the Chesterfield area of St.Louis. If you know any, please let me know. ALSO, please subscribe to my youtube channel linked here!
