I am going downhill ever since I've gotten old.
The older I get the worsse I play. . .
I'm 88 . . .

#21 Well I think that you could probably eventually get to 600 or so by pattern recognition, so you just autopilot defend against some threats without much calculation. I have seen scholars mate so much I can defend against it without much calculation, for example
It would probably only start to make a difference another couple thousand games down the line though

Yeah scholars mate is very easy for me to defend.
Also I got to 762 rapid in my old account, but on this one here I'm around 450. I'm just wildly inconsistent and erratic in my performances. And I'm not really very competitive. And considering things like long covid and my mental health I'm still fine with being around 450 in rapid. I feel comfortable there.
I know what god gifted me. Since i am already 46 i am really aware of what i can be good at. Chess is not my talent. I can feel it. I am 480 elo. And a am proud for all my losses and people i gave pride by defeating my.
bruh i’m mentally and physically slow and I still play
But your elos are awesome for this site...
I can't improve because of my mental health and the medication i have to take which clouds my mind and also long covid comes back from time to time
