gg on that sub 1300 correspondence rating there, buddy.
You will never make it to 1700 OTB.
A 1,100 rated player.

Duuude. It's not my problem you have a weird condition where you can't look at screens and 2d pieces. It's not about the appearance. You should try out blindfold chess dude. It is really hard. It really helps though. Then the format of the game doesn't matter that much. Ever try 5+ move combinations? Get off chess.com if you don't agree with chess.com. lol

You are just getting ridiculous now, kid.
Like you wave your magic wand and say "you won't hit x rating OTB" and it becomes so.
You have no idea how good I may or may not get over the next few thousand games. Stop just kidding yourself to try and feel better about your dismal teen life. Other people your age are out dating and you're bumbling around playing correspondence chess here. Grow up.

@Xieff I'm older than you, but maybe you know more about blitz. I've only played 60,000 games online. I was in my 30s before I played more than a handful of blitz games.
I know that you are older than me. Trust me lol. But I have heard both sides of the argument and I believe both are true in different cases. I agree, too much blitz could be bad for you, but I don't actually play that much blitz. If one trully wants to improve their blitz then they will force themselves to scan the board faster and preform all the normal tasks faster. Unless one is just playing blitz for the fun and making insane moves for the fear of time. If he/she is scanning faster then he/she can also learn to do so in an OTB game with longer TC. As long as he/she doesn't make the move too fast. The faster one is calculating, the further he/she can see down a line, the more lines he/she can consider.
In all seriousness in this thread: Could we maybe meet halfway and agree that the productivity of blitz chess is subjective and might not be the best course of action for every player looking to improve OTB?
I know for me that starting out playing blitz chess while first learning the game turned into a disaster - and I have a few friends IRL who had a similar experience. It narrowed our vision and ability to see several moves ahead and led to horrible, horrible superficial moves and blunders.
What I have heard from many experienced players is that there are benefits to blitz chess for players who have already attained a certain level of tactical proficiency. Prior to that, however, it very well may stunt progress and create very poor habits.
Can we maybe agree on that much?
There is just such an overwhelming amount of advice out there that instructs players learning to improve to play long, OTB games and analyze them with better players afterwards. Simultaneously, most of these same sources discourage beginners from playing blitz chess pretty much at all.
I mean, I understand you have a USCF rating but it's sub 1300. I haven't had one player I've talked to in person, who had a 1600+ rating, who told me anything other than "stay away from blitz chess at all costs, dude". I'm not fabricating this.
I know that in my case, I didn't stop hanging pieces and committing mind numbing blunders every game until I slowed down, started playing longer games, and spent more time OTB. Blitz chess was absolutely ruining me prior.
My goal is to reach 2000 one day and I don't see how I could ever accomplish that by contributing a decent chunk of my training time to blitz chess as I try to improve. Honestly? I don't think I'd progress much farther than I have already if I didn't spend a lot of time playing OTB standard time controls and avoid blitz chess entirely.
edit: On top of all of this - Even on ChessTempo, the resident GMs over there strictly discourage even doing blitz tactical problems. They detail how an improving player needs to do standard problems and take as much time as is necessary on each one until they can see the tactic/pattern required. Once again - These are guys rated over 2500 OTB USCF/FIDE.

Dude, come on. I've even supported you in threads but let's not pretend that chess isn't a serious, serious addiction of yours.
I agree with you - I think it's the best game on earth. However, I openly admit that I'm going to prioritize chess until I hit 2000. You insist you prioritize your dogs.
I know man, you dont prioritize chess, you prioritize trolling all kinds of forums with you stupid ideas....

I know you will not considering your irresponsibility and your immaturity. You act like a 13 YO and everything else backs it up as well. You aren't 30. You are a tween nerd. I love my teen life what are you talking about? Did I say I didn't have a girlfriend? I love how much you assume. lol You are over the hill. There is no way you will even reach a decent class. I play over the board in tournaments several times a year? Who is kidding theirselves? LOL! You haven't even played in a tournament and you are like "oh yup I'm gunna reach 2000 in a little while". You have no idea how rediculous that sounds especially coming from a "33 YO" adult that can't even get a decent job. I play correspondance but live as well and plenty of real tournaments so get real and go play irl.
You really need to relax and step away from the keyboard. Look at your text before you hit "post comment" sometime.
There's no logic and all emotion in everything you write. Relax.

Who are you talking to? You write as if there's an audience or something that you're addressing.
Nobody cares about your posts, my posts, or this thread. You're wasting your time. This isn't a social circle or a corporation.
Go play chess.

Haha yeah I suppose but who cares we all know where these comments come from. They come from his *** when he gets angry. :) He isn't a troll. Troll don't get angry but he sure is. Wow. Get counseling arty.

Hey guys, I've been hovering around 1,000 for about a month or two, today I managed to make it to 1,140. Although I still feel like I know next to nothing about chess apart from the basic openings and a few tactics (I don't count the cheap checkmate openings). I'd appreciate any beginners material you could offer to help me improve my game. I do the daily 'Tactics Trainer' puzzles but I just don't feel like I'm understanding more of what I'm doing overall. Any reading material? Thank you. :)
WOW!!! You are now 1700+, this post makes me want to get where you got!

Wow, this thread is full of comments from a notorious cheat who I thought was banned.
(Maybe his comments are still here because he closed his own account before his cheating was detected. His score against me was well over 99% top engine match, and he's barely 1700 in correspondence, which is like 1100 in blitz--also his rating.)
Lol, yes, and it's easier to point North, East and West...I left out South because everything points South!
