....so much fun, I find it way better than standard, and it as well absolutely increases your standard skills! If yet to play, first search in the spectating option some and watch how people begin, what works, even if you wish you can search my archived wins and see that getting the Queen out early is extremely beneficial, especially considering she nearly powers the board with ability! Lol as the other three are attempting a promo you with her out can wipe up one side pretty darn well! 😂

Dude, it's so much fun! If you love chess then you're sure to enjoy this, well at least when you begin to recognize what works.. I spend most my time on cc in that arena 😂
....but, what you need to be aware is the regulars seek out newbies on the grounds that their King's worth +20 to which most points is the winner, regardless who's last mated! Most points wins.
Good question. I use to be around 1200. Then I took a break for some years. Now I'm in the 700s. Perhaps I am the same skill level as before and every one else got better. Or I just stink at chess now. ?
Also, I tend to do better when I have more time for each move. I suppose I think slower than before...maybe because I'm getting older?
Actually that's what's properly needed, is time, your moves. People get so caught up with bullet but that doesn't even feel like chess to me, more like egomaniac chess, rush the fastest move and see who wins, pretty ridiculous you ask me. But dailies you have time each move to ponder what's best, not hasty fast choices moves, but thinking out what looks better, as well option to attempt to more view what it looks your opponent looks like he's getting ready to do, pondering the board a lot more, no rushing it.
i just make so many more blunders and miss so many checkmates and have peaked around 900. i have lost over 200 rating due to this. help
