Dang dude, that’s some dedication. I’ve started playing a year ago and just reaching around 1000 now. Mainly blitz and bullet as with kids it’s hard to focus on longer games. I really enjoy puzzles though - not sure if that helps me much. Apparently my puzzle rating is 1750 for whatever that’s worth.
I find it really satisfying when I improve again though as I’ve definitely plateaued or taken breaks a few times. Any advice for someone at my level?
Damn. That’s a very solid rating. I feel that improve and plateau as well. Did you do any study or really just through playing games?
Was coming here to say this. Game is good, but the artwork and feeling of the game is amazing.
Guess it depends on which time format you are playing, but even ten thousand games of bullet adds up, and it always amazes me how much time increments can add to total duration too. What’s your rating after that many games?
I’d like to think you were right but look how people and countries are cozying back up to Saudi Arabia now. There is a lot of people who would sell their soul for a little bit of money.
They said other than when she was working, and before and after she left the number was around or close to 0-2 per year, so pretty obviously an anomaly and certainly worthy of an investigation. The doctors that reported her were punished by the administrators and actually forced to apologise to her so I think they are pretty guilty in the circumstances.
Thanks for calling this out. I just assumed I was an idiot. I may still be, but at least in this instance I’m validated.
As per the other comments, seems super responsive, very Apollo like interface as well. Definitely worth experimenting with.
Looks great. I’ve downloaded it and look for to trying it out and seeing how it compares to Memmy.
If that guy could read I think he’d be mightily offended.
Good to see the youngsters doing well. Pragg seems like such a humble dude too, I’m really enjoying his success.
Funny set of semis with the two (relatively) old top GMs vs two future champions.
When I did my deep diving certification one of the things they got us to do was try and do maths of varying complexity (compared to previously doing it on the surface). I didn’t feel high at all, but most of us had slower response times and more errors at depth, apparently as a side effect of the increased nitrogen. Pretty wild.
