Plus when people play e5 they're always trolling before 2300

ok here's a question: why is the bongcloud good?

You can use it to troll and to crush your opponent's spirit in later games. I did that against a 1300 tongue.png... a 2100 (@anhbao) used it instead of losing a pawn and confused (and scared) me. They lost because they didn't do it early enough tongue.png

How do I add annotations to an analysis?

right click on the move and "insert comment after"

Avatar of DasBurner

but it doesn't work on the widget thingy it has to be in the analysis board

Any tips for calming nerves and easing stress while closing in on a milestone? I’m nearing 1100 rapid and can feel the same pressure I felt nearing 1200 blitz before I tilted heavily back to 1102 blitz. Don’t want that to happen again 

Focus on playing the best moves you can find instead of focusing on winning the game.

what is a skittles room and why does every otb tournament seemingly have one

Avatar of keep1teasy

skittles room is the room where you chill in between rounds and talk to other chess players

in 2019 when I went from 1373-1611 in one tournament I caught two dudes talking about age 18+ content from the other side of the room hehe

fortunately you won't catch those kinds of conversations often

probably for a good reason

Avatar of DasBurner

so it's just a break room ok

I would say study openings and basic positional concepts, learn endgames (at the very least learn the simple ones like protected/outside passed pawns etc.), grind tactics, and make sure you're focused when you're playing - don't play if you're sick or tired or don't feel up to it.

thanks for the advice.
