30 moves of theory that involve a queen hang.

Theoretical exchange sac.

Show me a master game in that variation.

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1060750  a very famous one,  i'm surprised you haven't seen it or any of the games that stemmed from it.  

You still blundered your rook

 

Good luck in our games,   might I suggest using all of the resources at your disposal?  Basically anything static like books / videos and the like,   take your time.   I don't want you to lose too quickly now.  

I am a iccf(International correspondence chess federation) Grand master.

If you couldn't see compensation for the queen then it's a strong sign that you either need to take your time or use some pretty serious resources.   Assume I am +600 FIDE on ya

My fide is 2100, yours is 1300.

Show me on the chessboard.   a 2100 doesn't have a chance

I could destroy you in blitz.

I don't know if you're kaynight ygnr or llama but i've fed you enough.  

There is no need to cry that your old account @1and7then8 was banned.

My old account is @YangugaruKyonyu  I recommend taking the full 14 days for every move and using all of your vacation time / really dragging it out.  2 or 3 years later maybe I will lose interest in chess?   Good luck

Gee, I wonder why it joined the same day as you, and won every single game.

Lol I didn't expect chesscom to close his account that quickly.

 

In relation to the chesskid game he posted @An_asparagusic_acid was right since the first game he posted actually contained a hanged queen on the 18th move. He then changed the game he posted to a completely different one with the 16.Na4 line which I'm suprised no one noticed.

I really like 3+0, as for me works as a nice mixture between the split-second decisions of bullet and gives you some time to think about some positions. Here it really comes down to experience which positions to invest your time into though, otherwise you'll quickly see yourself in time trouble..

I don't think you necessarily learn more from playing this time format in terms of strategy, tactics, etc. as your thoughts are clearly less structured and more rushed, but you surely improve over time things like calculation speed and faster recognition of patterns which can help your chess overall happy.png

I'm not very good at time controls under 10 minutes. No time to come up with an overall plan or really study the position just a little. At 3 min I would  just be trying not to blunder one move at a time. Not my style.
