Don't forget the advice that reaching 1000 rating is as simple as "just don't hang pieces in one move" or "Just play opening principles." grin.png Both of these are helpful things for beginners, but ONLY this isn't enough to reach 1000 rating.

I don't appreciate these references to my hazjzlu.

just out of a doubt, are you trying to hide anything in that post?

i see it as clear as day

anyway to op i originally had a downvote prereading and was like "ill upvote this if its good"

i upvoted it

its actually good

but seriously though, the thing about blundering and whatnot... come to 1100 rapid

hung pieces? yes

hung pieces every other move? god no, and one hang usually decides it

i can see strategy evolving in my and others' games

but then theres also random moves without reason, but even THOSE are rarer than youd think

and i play 15|10 btw

@llampozhil25 Can't believe not one, but two people failed to realize this thread is a joke lol
Here's a thread where I try to poke fun at someone who says 1200s essentially blunder pieces every other move lol
But yeah, imo, any reasonable person who knows something about chess should understand the nontrivial skill that it takes to get to idk, 1100-1200.

What gets me is the anger I have faced when playing someone in bullet after the game. I’ve had people messaging they want me to die in car crashes. Get cancer. Hope my son dies etc and I can’t quite understand why people feel it’s necessary after a game of chess! (I get people like to troll but seriously!)

has anyone else faced similar levels of anger and hatred. 
I have learnt to lose gracefully in bullet. Mainly because I’m very good at losing.. 😂

Another thing u didn't mention is that some are here who try to prove that a certain opening is the best and almost the only way to win in chess. That is the only opening which provides the richest positions that u can ever imagine

Lol yeah there are multiple things I missed, that's quality content right there

Wow, that's unfortunate surprise.png Strange also, I have chat enabled and don't seem to get that

If I think about it as a percentage. 1000 games. 5 comments. Kind of puts it into perspective actually!!!

You overestimate yourself even at 1200, play in "real" chess tournaments, not this "online" garbage and you will see that you are no better than a 700.

I'll lyk when i receive my real rating of 699, thx for the tip
