I think either black or dark brown honestly idk as i have never expected anyone to talk about my eyes and instead would assume someone asking me a question about chess

Actually something funny i can point out is that a few weeks ago i was watching a free horror movie on youtube called the eyes being the american adaptation of the japanese original

Eyes1289

Hey! Where you get the name from? Kowarenai seems Maori but is probably Japanese??????

Kowarenai

That story essentially follows a blind young woman wanting to see again so she gets these eyes but from a very disturbed individual who well ended her life and assumed to be called a witch. Now with these new witch eyes the woman tries to solve the mystery of why she is hallucinating and seeing things that arent real. Its a interesting movie to watch i enjoyed it but i think it fits more the genre of supernatural drama than horror although many say the japanese one is more better and the scarier version

If you expect chess in an "Ask Me Anything", you are delusional.

 

What are your favorite foods that are high in complex carbohydrates?

Why do orbiting bodies in high-energy orbits travel slower than orbiting bodies in low-energy orbits? You would expect that "high-energy" would equal "fast" and "low-energy" would equal "slow"... not the other way around.

Mate thanks for this opportunity.

Could you tell me why with problems I'm around 1600, I can beat Stockfish 4 that they say it's around 1600,  I also have a good challenge and sometimes I beat 1600 friends (on physical chess),  but when I play online, I cannot go above 1250ish?  I'm seriously starting to think many people online use cheats\engines?   But I would love to remove this thought, it makes me kind of depressed lol so I'm here in the hope you could give me a better reason.

Another thought I had, is that I mostly play to have fun not to win, so I often try to find new methods, tactics, I like to explore and not repeat myself.  It makes the game more entertaining for me, but maybe that's what makes me lose?  Is there any suggestion that  I can use so that I can make my game more various, without giving too much of an advantage to opponents?

Again thank you for sharing!

Of course it is his question to answer but imma just add that online ratings are generally supposed to be higher than otb ratings. So something does seem off like you said. If you can beat 1600s (USCF) at least like 60% of the time (so not just fluke wins), you can probably be 1900 or 2000 rapid as long as you put in the games. Computer levels are generally worse than their ratings until at least like 2300, so probably beating computers that rating doesn’t matter as much as people that rating. Just keep going and it’ll probably go up.

1600 friends is not USCF but they're 1600 in online sites like this one or lichess.    I know something is off, this is exactly why I asked!! I really cannot understand why.   Maybe it's my mindset, maybe it's that I don't care about winning as long as I have fun.  But it's little frustrating to know I can beat 1600 friends, complete 1600 puzzles but I cannot go above 1250 in any online site. Maybe Kowarenai has an explanation for this.   Arigatou!

Do you do anything special before tournaments? Before tournaments I’ll do some exercise and eat a bit healthier etc. Just make sure I’m ready physically and mentally.

I once tried to pull a drunk magnus drinking so much soda and chicken tenders winning 8 games in a row at nationals. Instantly regretted feeling horribe afterwards but it was fun while it lasted and now all i do is really just drink water and eat near the end of yhe tournament where i just feel more rested

Dog you will really get clapped by me in 10mins I've been playing drunk so don't mind the rating

im only 15 so i wouldn't know, but i really doubt drinking can lower your rating more than 1000 points

cough cough eric hansen beats 3k's drunk cough

Kowarenai

and your asking me for a 10 minute game? kind of suspicious
