rapid requires real thiinking unlike blitz
Is 1100 considered a respectable and above average rating?
Eh I don’t play blitz that much and I’m trying to focus more on rapid now
no one cares about Rapid chess
it won't make you better
All forms of chess make you better but especially, playing slowplay otb games seriously and then analysing them. But you can't play classical controls wellm if you can't blitz and it's also useful to be a good rapid player. As you get into time trouble in classical you have to vary from the kind of slowplay that's appropriate to games when each player has two and a half hours, to the kind of analysis used when each has 90 minutes, and then increase your speed in deliberate stages, but playing, say, the next 5 minutes ar rapid speed and then when you have three minutes left moving to blitz speed and maybe even bullet. Then you reach the time control, you're still in the game and, well, I used to go for a walk at that point, with my clock running, and come back and treat it as a fresh game, because mistakes can be more common just after a time control.
no
OK let's hear your criticisms. OK, I know this thread is just trash talking but see if you can rise to the challenge!
look you can believe what you want to believe. you are free to do that
however, reality is I'm a 2300 level player & you're 1600 blitz. that means that I know a lot more about blitz than you do.
Rapid doesn't make players better at chess
I just looked at your latest blitz game which you won, against Timetocrush. It told me enough to know that you are neither a good tactician, nor someone who has a good grasp of strategic princinples. Your opponent went wrong pretty obviously.
I think you are confusing speed of play with skill. I've played 5 mins chess at a genuine FIDE 2300 level in my time. I was very good. What I've seen tells me you are not of that standard. That was some time in the mid 1990s, whish I was still in my mid 40s.
Half of blitz is time management unless your good at making opponents blunder
but luke blitz isn't everything
its the only thing we play
so if you want to be cool then you got to learn blitz better
right now you're not very good at it
girls at my school are rated higher than you & they don't like that.
Actually it's not cool I thought you were a dweeb if you were 2000+ with no life
Pretty accurate tbh

1100 is better than average obviously, but it's not very good at all. Not trying to diss any 1100s but 1100 just really isn't good. I've beaten many and I'm a lowly 830 (rapid).

anyway
nice chatting with you guys on this topic
I'm going to stop following it now since I've been basically carrying it for a while.
hope you guys improve at blitz chess
if not, then oh well.
I'm 2300 and I'm happy
I’m happy with my rating as well

now I know why you cant raise your blitz rating
Actually I raise it all the time 😝

And now I know why you can’t raise your IQ

Prince really loves crushing players….
can we play blitz
I enjoy defeating higher rated opponents actually
I don't like punching down on lower rated opponents like a bully. Unlike some of the other posters on this particular thread topic who consistently pick on opponents rated thousands of points below them
If you can't beat the underdog what's the point of beating higher rated people all this means is your a coward if anything your the bully
LOL
I feel so much smarter than you after reading that statement
Yet again if you arnt willing to beat the underdog your the coward your too focused on elo to actually put up a fight
This is the exact reason Trump's the coward during the debate ... When you do this you honestly sound scared
2300 Alphas like myself don't fear lower rated opponents like you
rather than talking trash in the forums, why don't you try to improve your blitz rating
you are at the same level you were when we had this discussion over a month ago
The guy pretending to be the alpha is typically the coward
I watched one of those alpha males pitch a fit this morning because some artists were painting a sunflower in the middle of the street. The road was partly blocked and he had to take a detour. I think the truck he was driving was too large for his skills.
Prince have you ever lost a game
