btw i hate this thread title what do u guys think about changing it to "ilx chess club"
― lag∞n, Sunday, 3 May 2020 15:16 (three years ago) link
i don't mind either way what the thread is called.
i should work more on my endgames. the cool thing about being great at endgames is that a) at my level i've noticed a lot of ppl aren't great at them so it'll give me a huge leg up and b) a critical strategy when going up a piece or a few pawns is knowing how to crush the endgame with that advantage but if you don't really know it v well it's too easy to still make stupid blunders even in totally winnable end games.

I don't mind the thread title, and recognize it as a nod to the Yes thread, but I'm not married to it.

What’s the problem with the thread title?

Don’t be changing thread titles just for UX purposes

Getting back into chess after a break of about 20 years has been one of the few positives from the current situation for me

Anyone on chess.com up for a game?

I asked Hikaru a couple weeks back if he was worried about the edge his tournament opponents can gain by analyzing all his streamed chess content. He said that he maintains a completely separate set of openings for stream so that OTB opponents can't do that. Wild and impressive.

I'm team hikaru, if we're picking sides in the ongoing chess eltism 'drama'. finegold is an annoying bast imo

storm in a teacup. just finegold grousing about hikaru's pogchamps tourney and how it's sad scrub streamers are getting more views for their chess than GMs

Man why would you not rather watch scrubs, more educational for most surely.

Hmu
think i leveled up (KNOCK ON WOOD) my rating is up 50+pts for the last week, feels a lil more stable/prolonged than just being on a heater, i somehow just started playing/seeing more dynamic positions, which is interesting cause it seems to come with more variance in winning/losing games with wider margins, also seems like players at my level arent necessarily comfortable playing those types of positions, im seeing people time out and make blunders
