Beginner? Don't use this opening - It's too theoretical! Better yet, don't learn any openings!

beginners really should focus and tactics, what's the point of getting a space advantage and a winning plan, if you blunder back rank mate?

would you really want to be:

The person who gets a winning position

or

The person who cheeses his opponent in a losing position?

a losing position with still a lot of pieces left is still playable if the two people are beginners. 

So you're saying beginners should get in losing positions because their opponents can't convert?

I gained 600 points in first 6 months. Then I gained 500 points in the following 15 months. It is much easier to gain points when you are starting out. Going from 1200 to 2200 is a big deal. After you reach 1500 improvement gets really slow.

lol, I've been stuck at 2200 for a long time now...

lol i have the same feeling

im saying it's playable, but it's not like you will get into losing positions every game, the opponent will blunder too

3|2 is a vastly different time control than 3+0 ngl

also me playing the najdorf didn't help either

probably because you played like trash, so they obviously got high accuracies, and besides, accuracy doesn't tell much

1000s are underated ( it took me 100+ moves and a time advantage to win one on another site)

literally means nothing unless you have be a 2900 machine

proves my point, if you play slightly worse, then they take you apart slowly, inducing more and more mistakes.

what are you even trying to prove B1Z, like we are not idiots and know that 2200 isn't simple but its not like something impossible and dramatic as you make it to be

lmao you literally think getting to 2400 is that simple

sndeww

No, your flippant attitude of "if I tried I could be 2400" just pisses me off.

sndeww

five years ago I was in elementary school feeling really depressed that all my friends got over 1000 uscf and Im still struggling to stay above 900. 

sndeww

lmao i had no desire to improve at chess in elementary school
