In general, just go to Today- Events and find the tournament you are looking for.

Ah, right. Gotta keep up with the features. Thank you.

Oh dear, I just saw the game. I guess this is a good lesson — (almost) never keep you queen opposite of rooks.

Yeah, almost. I've lost some games because I was cautious like this. I move a queen and allow something else for instance. Or it is sometimes a waste of precious time.

He simply missed Nf6 because before he moved his rook, it didn't do anything. But it is in general another case where people crack after enough pressure. He was worse the whole game, playing catch up with his opponent and in the end he made a losing mistake. It's understandable.

This could be used in the “myth of solving puzzles” thread! Anyway, agreed!

Nah, compared to someone here rated 2 000, he is Kasparov. Just listen to the recaps and you will understand that his calculation is just very strong compared to some amateur non titled player, and his undertsanding of a position, making plans etc. 

Sure, it might be lacking when he face some IM or GM, but there are many worse players than him out there, even titled players. The thing is, he has the weakest rating in this group, so it is not really easy for him.

He is certainly not on GM level, and he is generally weaker than an average IM due to the fact that studying chess is now secondary for him. But the worst player... that is a stretch. happy.png

@GothamChess actually isn't that good at chess...  I would defeat him

so the real question is "How Good is @Absolute_Best"?

 

Answer:  Much, much, much stronger than the overrated @GothamChess

 

If you are referring to Kick The Can, then you are probably much better than him.

Having missed 43.Bf1 surely hurts.

Game 5 at move 14. Opponent sacked a pawn and according to the engine should sack another for still insufficient compensation. That's going to be wild again.

No, he went from losing, to winning, to losing.

Hmm, where do you see that. According to L***chess, the game starts in 40 minutes...
