The continuous OTF chess competition.

Lol, gg. Actually the game was a draw till that Rc7 move. I probably just got lucky lmao.

Maybe that OTB practice paid off lol.

Slayyy I think I need to study less and grind my rating >:3 why am I winning on my alt and not here 🥀

I got lucky, you played right into my kings indian prep I made some time ago.

Were you trying to play the Jobava London system?

Because I saw you playing the main moves, but you messed up the theory halfway through.

Mm yep, it's my lifelong opening 🦖✨

Yup I messed up the theory so badly I haven't been reviewing for a while year 😊

Nice! Which repertoire did you use? Was it through video lessons? I too have learned the Jobava London, I mainly just play the italian with white though.

Trust me, I haven't looked at most of my theory books in a long time, just wayy too boring smh

#190 I finished all 273 variations and my brain is too fried to review with 🙏🏻

#189 chessable lmao, it was my first opening

I use a repertoire that my coach recommended, worked like a charm till my coach told me I was messing every variation up because I wasn't studying enough theory. Thats why I play the Italian... miss the jobava days

Lwk at my level everybody is just messing up again and again, Istg my alt smh won a 1900 cuz they blundered 🥀 and I was fricking 1800

Btw for the variation I played I think the recommended plan is to go with Qd2 and Bh6 along with h5 and stuff if I castle. Also f3 for c6 is correct.

#195 my brain cannot comprehend 🙏🏻 I'm tryna study

LOBSTER MEAT 🔥

My friend (who I'm better than) has a Chess.com elo of like 2100 on rapid. It's insane.

#198 it isn't.. as long as we work hard we will get there (i'm not working hard 🙂)

good luck, it can feel overwhelming at times, i know from when i studied for an important tournament in my area.

ive given up the idea of making it in online chess

im playing rapid games like i have 5 seconds instead of 10 minutes at this point

amazing conversation starter
