Sicilian was already my favorite against e4 when I was 800. I learned it playing on the Netflix Queen’s Gambit game, which I really miss. They stopped updating it when iOS 18.1 came out.

Now it won’t even open, just crashes immediately.

That game taught a lot of openings. If it still worked, I would recommend it for all beginners.

2000 1988. If you look at the mistakes in their game it becomes clear that most of these mistakes dont even look like mistakes. They look liks normal moves that anyone would play. Bishop h6 was only bad due to an inhumanly findable move 7 moves into the future. Knight e6 brilliant

but who the heck is going to see that? Most all of these moves where logical. The innacuracy at the beginning was in standard english attack theory

No, the whole game was cringe. My partner is this range, and he would never make even half of those mistakes. And I play those openings and wouldn’t have.

That's not an elo.

Ummm, white is an intermediate and black is around 600

Intermediate is not an elo and intermediate is not around 600. I'd estimate 1800-1900.

The lower-rated players that don't come anywhere close to category-1 assume anyone that is higher-rated is infallible to the extent of immortality. We're not. My games are full of mistakes and inaccuracies, even humorous blunders. Yet I'm 1800-1900 consistently.

I definitely don’t think 1900-2000 players are infallible 😂

Of our last three games, I beat one twice, and neither one of us played this poorly.

Intermediate is not an elo and intermediate is not around 600. I'd estimate 1800-1900.

Intermediate is a range: 1200-1600 elo.

The poster didn’t say 600 is intermediate.
