What qualifies as a 'sweat'? Somebody good at chess? Somebody that beats you?

Just to clarify, this is a serious question, I'm not trying to make fun of you.

When someone tries too hard.

they're not trying hard, you're just light work for them. 

In daily I once saw a mate in 7 with two rook sacs, and I premoved the whole thing.

 

 

cul, i've done that before except in a blitz game i think

At least I'm in the 90th percentile.

99.7% percentile enters the chat

99.7 percentile is forcibly disconnected by another person from the chat.

 

(Also, why did you do a percent sign and write "percentile?" That's just awkward.)

I remember being disconnected when I had mate in 1 and around 8 minutes on the clock... but I'm 96% I think, not 99.7%, so do I count? happy.png

My dad keeps walking around the house so I just lost 40 points because of that

sndeww

its really pissing me off

sndeww

and my mom always comes and tries to talk to me whenever I'm playing, and then when I get mad she says something like "you never talk to your mom nicely" and that's the only thing she talks about for the next five hours

I'm not even joking I mark the time

my mom tells me to do chores while I'm playing a game and if I don't do it in like 10 secs then she starts ranting and cuts off my internet

so I basically have to resign the game right there because she can't wait 1 minute

sigh

ikr they don't understand 

"it's just a game"

piss off I say

Wait why does your dad not want you playing chess?

My parents don't really care.

School is easy for me (and I go in person,) so when I finish work I chess there.

And then at home I chess there.

And in the morning after I get ready for school, I chess there.

Then I go home, play minecraft/watch youtube whilst checking notifs, and after dinner I chess.

JackRoach

That way it looks as if I'm on for 16 hours in a row.

 

JackRoach

Well, no. I forum and puzzle.

And then when I detach myself from the forums, occasionally I play some chess.

I’m on the forums a lot but barely actually play chess haha. I only play like 1 game a day.

during school, i check forums and only play quick bullet/blitz matches when we have a break, after school i play chess, and after dinner and sometimes going outside, i do it again. 

I mean, there should be drawbacks when I'm online for about 8 hours a day, but the only thing wrong with me is that I'm bad at chess.

Relationships (like kid-parent relationships) benefit from communication... you can never make the other person communicate well, but it's worth trying to talk to your parents about some of this stuff. Talk about yourself. Say "I and me" to talk about thoughts and feelings not "you"

Like "When I'm playing chess I'm really concentration and trying my best, and it's not easy. A game typically lasts __ minutes, so I want to make an agreement that when I'm playing I'm allowed to finish that game before we start talking."

Maybe they respond by saying you play too much. To that maybe you can try to work out a time during the day or week that you can play, and during that time there's the agreement that I can finish my game with minimal distractions before we talk.

Stuff like that.

They don't say I play too much. They don't really care, as long as I'm not being dumb.

 

And it's not like I do chess and only chess, I play piano, occasionally write my book and play with my little brother.

Also, I have a pretty good relationship with my parents. I don't try to completely distance myself from them unlike other kids my age.

I'm probably closer to them than someone my age honestly should be

But how close is too close? happy.png

easier said than done

Yeah, of course.

And some parents are terrible people so it should be impossible meh.png

But as a basic life lesson, talking about yourself is good communication because it lets the other person know what you're thinking and feeling. When people get upset, they tend to do the opposite and talk for the other person for example "you think this, and I bet you do this because ____" and that's not communicating, that's just arguing.

I try my hardest to make my rare arguments with my parents civilized.

And then I pull every trick out of my bag to win.
