This is delusion on a whole new level
Aspiring Chess players on Chess.com should not attribute too much weight or credence to posts of accounts newly created in 2026. Often times such accounts are smurfers & mirror accounts that were blocked in the previous year. LOL
Don't pay attention to smurfers & believe in yourself because you can do what is right & still improve greatly in Chess!
and btw Ding, Kasparov, Polgar, and Pia are all retired lmao
they still play Chess! Unlike your previous accounts
LOL
I have a very, very special question. So, I am playing in a chess club which means I play over the board in real life. Since I am a very fast player online, I want to get faster otb too. The problem is that I don’t have much experience otb and still don’t know any real techniques. For example, when I take a opponent’s piece, I pick up the opponent’s piece first, keep it in my hand and then slide my piece to the same square. As far as I know, it’s a common movement in classical otb chess. But that’s too slow for blitz I believe. When I asked in my chess club how they learned to move their pieces the way they do, they said that they do it unintentionally. My question: How can I learn these different techniques of moving pieces otb? Also, WHERE can I learn it? Thanks in advance!
It's quite simple.
When moving your piece to a square to capture an opponent's piece, you hold your piece with your tips of your fingers and slide your opponent's piece into you hand as you place your piece on the square
It's one continuous motion
Speed comes from just doing it while avoiding disrupting the rest of the board. However, if you're not playing with under a minute, then it really won't matter until you play much stronger opponents
