I put positional play with pawn structures and weaknesses together. It is amazing that all of this came from HangingPiecesChomper chatting. Not complaining just saying.

Since I am not a fan of arguing I’m going to participate in this discussion less but leave with some key points:
1: This blog is for talking about 2000 ELO, not arguing with @HangingPiecesChomper. Let’s keep it lighthearted!
2: There are 3 “levels” of improvement: 1: Hanging pieces 2: Tactics or “tricky hanging pieces” 3: Everything else. While the first two levels are the foundation of your chess, the majority of 2400 ELO play is the 3rd level.
3: Chess.com isn’t a conspiracy of corporate greed, out to trap us into feeling like we are improving. In fact, the general opinion is that it is one of the best websites for people of all levels to improve. Actually improve.
Let’s stay on topic!
Tryna get 2K!!
people are hanging their pieces that easily which is why it's easy to climb to 2400 here.

I need to understand how 2400 like you are making those mistakes! They are a retired chess cheater or something!
look at the ratings of my opponent in my screen shot. that's how you know it's easy to chomp on hanging pieces to 2400.

@HangingPiecesChomper
1: @MaetsNori’s argument.
2: You have played 1800+ games on chess.com. In 2 games in a row, you opponents hung pieces. Those games happened to be your most recent games. Well, that sounds compelling, right? Wrong. In chess, an unpredictable sport, there are bound to be statistical outliers. And, well, every game was your most recent game at some point. Drawing a conclusion based on those 2 games is not how statistics works. It’s like saying Hikaru is cheating based on a few streaks across 10s of thousands of games. It would be less likely for it to NEVER happen!
