I enjoyed your post #39. Particularly your detailed information about Chessable. I have visited the site, and although I am not a member it appears impressive in terms of its instructional and training resources. The post should prove very informative to many chess.com members, notwithstanding the objections of the naysayer, purveyors of negativity.
Speaking of which...
You are correct about DeirdreSkye, who is apparently knowledgeable about chess, but is clueless about how to engage respectfully and courteously with humans - indicative of a personality disorder coupled with immaturity. Better to ignore and not waste energy on people like this, who need to elevate their self image by diminishing others...
They are so many that mislead or try to mislead people in these forums that it is a personality disorder indeed not to.
If I had to choose between being a polite hypocrit like you and personality disorder I would choose the second all the time.
How about being polite, respectful? Not an option for you? It can't be that you go through life insulting everybody who is some point under your rating. Or can be that you are so courageous because you can hide in the internet-anonimity? Because in the country I come originally you have to know exactly what you are doing when calling people polite hypocrite.
Perhaps something very bad happened with you once, perhaps you would be a great guy if growing in a better environment, who knows. I just feel sorry for you.
And you are a hypocrit too.You didn't mention anything about RussBell calling that I have personality disorder but it annoyed you that I said that he is a hypocrit.So it's not politeness your problem.You accept rude and it doesn't bother you when it comes from those that agree with you.Disagreeing with you is your real problem(the definition of hypocritic politeness)
Honestly I couldn't care less.I want to discuss the essential parts of your message.
Dear torrubirubi when did I ever said anthing about your rating?The problem with your rating is yours and you think everybody else has it too.
I disagreed, and expressed that in the clearest way possible way, with your effort to provide guidance that is actually misleading and I would do the same no matter which your rating was.I would disagree with Bartholomew himself if he was here.
I don't really need to see the rating to understand who understands chess and who doesn't.It is obvious that you don't and you shouldn't try to give advices just like I don't try to give advices in driving or cooking(I might kill someone , lol).
Your problem and what you call "rude" is that I said that Chessable is for the lazy.I'm sorry but I am not going to apologise for something I firmly believe and I am not going to be hypocritically polite and mislead people just to be likeable by you and the bully Boss RussBell.
Those seriously interested to improve must know that chess needs a lot of personal work and almost military discipline.Those who try to do it another way are either lazy or unable to study seriously for various reasons(I am among them since I have neither the time or the concentration to study chess, that is why I am a chessable member) and they will eventually pay the cost(like me who knows I will never improve).
Polite or rude ,like it or not , that's the truth.
You are right about one thing though.Something very bad happened to me.I learned chess.If it ever happens to you (quite doubtful) you will realise how right I am.
p.s. "quite doubtful" was rude , but since I have declared rude anyway why not enjoy it?
You can have your opinion; it's only how about to say. You call 30 thousand people learning in Chessable as "laizy", although I have the impression that for a guy who knows exactly how to improve in chess and so "hard working" you are prety weak. I prefer to say on the side of the polide and laizy people instead of the guys who stand up in the morning to tell everybody how hard working they are and how laizy other people are. As I said, I am really just feel sorry for you. I

As a chessable member yourself, do you consider yourself to be lazy? As for other chessable users, is it possible that they simply do not have what you refer to as serious interest to improve?

Of course I am lazy and completely given up any hope or possibility of improvement(I haven't used my real board for more than a decade).
I don't mind that Chessable has users ,I wish them 1.000.000 users soon , tomorrow if possible , I actually couldn't care less.I suggested Chessable in a couple friends after I was absolutely sure that these guys will never have the patience to take a book and study on a real board.It is actually an extremely clever idea that covers the needs of a quite large target group that seeks to improve from youtube videos(and Chessable is much better from the vast majority of youtube videos).It will make Bartholomew rich , I have no doubt about it and I don't mind at all.
What I do mind though is ignorants trying to misguide people in thinking that Chessable is the best way to improve.It's not , not even close.
Why do you think Chessabler do not use a board to train? I have paper copies from some of the books I am using there and spend quite a lot of time to understand moves, moves, orders, to go through whole games. 30.000 people there, and all are lazy, right? All training the same way, all them never saw a physical chess board in their whole life, all them in the ocean but drowning. And you expect everyone will take you seriously 🙄
This chessable thing is pretty awesome...Lol I just favorited this page too. I do actually like the list of links from kindaspongey.
This other guy isn't worth responding to. Most likely an engine user anyway...He sounds like the Debbie Downer store associate I dealt with at Home Depot on Sunday, angry I was there 10 minutes before they closed because of a plumbing emergency.

Do you have in mind a specific example of someone claiming "that Chessable is the best way to improve"? Is "lazy" an appropriate assessment for someone who does not choose the best way for serious improvement (with the "almost military discipline" and everything)?
@kindaspongey -
Keep posting your content as you have been. At least you are trying to add positive value to the forums, which is more than can be said about the immature forum bullies and purveyors of negativity such as DeirdreSkye...
Thank you for your kind words. I am not exactly a big fan of DeirdreSkye, but I do think it is of some value to see a representation of the best-way-to-seriously-improve point of view. I just wish we would not see things like the "lazy" assessment for people who make a different choice.
Do tactics puzzles it will help you and play slow time controls if that doesn’t help take a break
Chessable shouldn't be the only way to train yourself, but it is super helpful. I wouldn't call it lazy to use some advanced technology that helps you remember many themes and ideas. Why not do both Chessable and other improving methods, e.g. a trainer, physical books, videos? Chessable is trying to make studying chess easier for people, so why not take the opportunity to use it? Of course, you shouldn't be studying Chessable only, but it is very helpful and I don't see why you wouldn't want to use it. On the other hand, Chessable is trying to do the opposite - helping people study more books in quality and quantity.
