what do you think about this game? I was black, and please ignore the last few moves, I was in time trouble and messed up
My very bad analysis from a 760 USCF
Thanks

760?????????? but you are 2000 rated
They probably haven’t played otb in a while lol
I know a 1600 who’s 600 USCF lol

@llama, no need to be so toxic.
I am sorry @EnergeticHay, here is a more specific question:
What opening would you recommend for a 1500 USCF rating?
An opening that fits your style
I can't really recommend any openings when the question is that general. Could you maybe ask something like "what would you recommend against the Sicilian Defense as white?" or something like that?

22...g5 was a bad mistake

My coach plays the french defense when she is black
Yeah tell her to teach you it, it is amazing
lol i'm not a fan of the french defense, but if you have an expert who can teach you it then go for it!

@EnergeticHay, what would you recommend as an off-beat line to play against the Sicilian? I'm getting tired of always playing Nf3 and d4.

1. e4 c5 2. g3 - I don't know how to play that but I've seen it before. You just develop your pieces and play I guess

Go cry to your mommy or the moderators. I don't care which.
Either way, stop pretending you have something useful to say.
You don't.
@llama get the hell out of here. Blocked and reported
+1 He abused me too.
Anyways, which line do you recommend to counter the Sicilian defense ?
I honestly think playing 2. Nf3 and 3. d4 is simply the best way to play

I have a condition called aphantasia, which is the lack of a mind’s eye. Because of this, I can’t visualize positions in my mind, making it hard to calculate lines and look ahead. How can I calculate better?

oooh, sorry to hear that. That must be tough. I guess you will just have to spend more time than others to master the skill! Solving puzzles/tactics is the best way to do this
