I'm higher rated than you, so

Oh, I was going by numbers, my bad. I guess you were going by... hallucinations or something.

Let me check...

1590+1672+1480+2751+2068+29+927+1342+1860+1334+1410+1874 = 18337

Hmm, that is a pretty high number.

I don't think it's fair to add them up like that though.

Man is so dumb he can't even compare ratings 😂

W-was I supposed to subtract them instead? 😰

And just for the record, I've played zero rated games on this account so...

You can't be higher than a rating that doesn't exist.

Your previous accounts had ratings. Not very high

"Very high" is relative.

For example, relative to you, they were "very high" wink.png

I can't remember much but with lots of practice you diversify.

I trained myself to remember 9 moves of theory, I think I can remember more than that though.

I remember 13 moves of theory in the KID

You'll find you play a small range of openings often and begin to understand the various options within these and you'll feel comfortable playing them

I can't seem to remember more than two moves for the openings I've tried playing. It seems like there are infinite possible ways, and I can't remember which move is the best against my opponent's move. How did you get past this point, or is this a noob query?

This is a natural question to ask.

Memorizing all possible moves isn't a good approach; even modern chess engines are very far from brute force calculation to "solving" chess; there are too many possibilities. 10 to the 43rd power (10^43) is a "1" with 43 zeroes after it and this is the estimated number (Shannon Number) of possible legal chess positions. Obviously, the number of possible games would be massively larger; even if computers could calculate and evaluate all of this, there isn't the technology available to store all of this information.

Top chess players, like titled players, learn patterns and themes and these help them navigate the position to find the best moves. This is called "pattern recognition" and this skill gets refined with experience, lots of chess playing and lots of chess tactics/puzzles. The more patterns you expose yourself to, then the more likely you are to find these same ideas in a chess game happy.png

I struggle with that for many openings. I am getting better in some and not in others. The ones I am getting better at I am memorizing guide games and analysising the games as well. Just building up over time.

The more you play, the more familiar you become with the patterns in your chosen openings.
