#42, it was for black, it was in the Smyslov. The move order is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g7 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.Bg5 c5 5.d5 h6 6.Bf4 d6 7.e4 Qb6 and here it said 8.Qd2 (although Rb1 might be a move the book should’ve consider, of course I can analyze that on my own) it then said (8.Qc2 Na6)
How long did it take you to get there. All years, since you started playing chess. And lets play a game of chess,. blitz or rapid. I want to improve abit on slow times.
What are your most unique tips for chess(tips that worked for you). Also I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful but I would appreciate it if you didn't tell me things like "practice often" or "study a lot".
Thank you =)

How are brilliant moves possible if a computer calculates millions of moves every second?

#50, I can answer that for you, the computer does not calculate millions of moves every second. Also, brilliant moves mostly don’t happen when playing the engine. That’s how

Based on the fact that I went from 800 to 500 then to 1200 in blitz and rapid, and I went from 800 to 200 to 1400 in bullet all in around 4.5 months, do you think I can make it to 1600 in blitz, bullet, and rapid by the end of the year?

Tied for second, just about tied for first with IM Eric Rosen, who I scored 1/2 against.

The move is brilliant according to the computer based on ideas like "you moved your piece on a protected square, but it works anyways" translated into code, basically.

Personally, I think marching your king down the board is a great idea, when it works.
