Nah Hawaii isn't really the place you wanna be at if you want to play chess competitively, there's just a lack of tournaments in the area and when there is one, let's just say that the skill level there is very relaxed.

Lack of tournaments=everyone is underrated

That is true, the winner of one of the most recent tournaments was Unrated lol

lol I think I have over 100 but Hawaii tournaments don't mean anything so yeah

It indicates you're pretty good at chess 

And Hawaii is underrated as well based on what I’ve seen

I didn't know they had chess tournaments there I thought that was just a tourist spot in the summer

We played 3 G25’s and he’s 2.5-0.5

G30*

Only proves my point even further

that was last year you've made more progress than I have as I proceeded to go on tilt

To be fair I was tilting for almost all of 2021

2021 n 2020 is bad

I actually had a relatively good end and beginning of 2020 for OTB’s. I improved a lot during the pandemic but not as much as some people lol

Bruh fr I only gained like 150 elo and then there's the kids that went from 1250 uscf to like 1800. Like what

No there's actually more concrete and grey clouds than you think grin.png

The tourism industry just tries their best to hide that from the tourists

Interesting. I never was able to like any drinks other than water and apple juice, and my parents don’t let me and my brother to eat fast food often. I’ll be sure to tell all my friends the next time they ask how I can wake up at 4 am to travel to chess tournaments lol

I mean let's be real if you were waking up at 4 for school it proably wouldn't be happening. It's just the excitement of playing

I wake up at 2AM to hit the gym also I’m ripped irl

I'm 59.  I leave the ripped thing to others.  I just want to live a long healthy life.

I was at a tournament in Tennessee once. Time control was standard fide time control. Dude on the board next to me brings three(3) protein shakes to the board. He gets destroyed by his opponent in about 30 mins. His protein shakes are finished. I mean they’re good for you, but…

I've never had one before
