Why are you nitpicking on blunders. Like if you don't make blunders, are you a literal genius or god? That doesn't make sense. I'm sure Magnus Carlsen has made bad blunders before. I don't see anybody saying "Magnus Carlsen is bad because he is blundering". Does that seriously make any sense?

Exactly my point (even stockfish makes mistakes otherwise how would other engines be able to beat it?)

When you compare yourself to God and name call others, it’s offensive and your going to be criticized accordingly.

I'm gonna state this first and foremost. I'm not a believer of any religion. You could say I'm a free-thinker. It's not offensive to say the word 'god' isit? Not to offend anybody, if you are going to say god in terms of video game skill level, there really is nothing wrong.

Dude compared his skill set to God and name calling others in condescending ways, of course that’s offensive where I come from.

May be it’s an English or cultural barrier?

The middle game analysis was entertaining….

It could be the religion you believe in, which I will truthfully respect. If the word 'god' offends you, I get it still. The word 'god' is still a very controversial topic in many parts of the world.

But my point is really just let it go and stop arguing. I don't see anybody winning from this argument except time being wasted while desperately holding on to their disagreements.

I am learning “GOD LEVEL” middle game analysis, there is value in learning and I have experience in the same lines.

I get to see how not to play a middle and end game.

Game analysis is very important to me. A fresh perspective must be good for me?

If I were you, I did use your premium to do puzzles instead of looking at this dude's games that you are trying to mock and then it backfires back to you again of being lower elo than him.

No human on earth is perfect.

What are puzzles?

I am currently working on middle games, basic tactics and simple end games; perfect timing!

@Chuck639 I find it interesting how you are 1600 elo but are only 2600 puzzles. I think you should practice more puzzles. Although, I know many people who aren't that good at puzzles for their elo

I can't even see his puzzle rating?

You should do rated instead.

End-games aren't a big problem. It's more of the middle games that everybody isn't good at or at least most people aren't good at.

@Chuck639 here are a few takeaways for you

Keep tension on the board rather than trading pawns because that will mean you don't have anymore pawn breaks

While you are calculating deep lines, also consider if simple moves which improve your position are better (such as putting a Rook on an open file)

And also try and get a chess book on middlegames. That way you can learn about pawn structures which is a huge part to positional chess. If you don't want to buy a book on middlegames, I made a huge number of lessons on positional chess in this club: https://www.chess.com/club/chessgutzers . They are all written in forums.

If you are struggling with a move, consider how your pieces get affected by it and also how it helps with your plan

I'm sorry but... seriously? Why are you doing such low rated puzzles?

Why wouldn’t I?

Does doing 3000 rated puzzles boost your performance?

Even though those games I do in puzzles hardly appear in any of my games, at least I know what I'm doing.

I sincerely appreciate the tip.

You aren’t the first to tell me this because I have supportive training partners to gap this.

Thank-you.
