it's okay i'm capable of speed posting.

but my attention span is bad so i'll probably end up back on chess.com or youtube

trying to get into the habit of actually paying attention to my chess games. i would probably be in the 800's if I did.

lol nope. i multitask and watch youtube between turns.

This is a really poor idea and I don't advise it. Sometimes if I tabbed out a while i go back and think "wait am i white or black".

also @roni that's a much better idea and it's how i should play. it's not uncommon for me to come back and lose my queen to a bishop. I was trying to make more of an effort today so i'm closing in on 650

I know how to move the pieces in chess, but I can't actually PLAY. i'm more of a checkers man.

Chess has ruined my ability to play checkers.

I tried to go back and I just can't do it for some reason. the board feels so cramped.

I used to play Dragon Draughts on my copy of Spyro: Season of Flame for HOURS on GBA, which was literally just checkers.

I feel like with chess there's just much more control over the board.

there's just much more variation with as to how the pieces move really. i feel more free to move around in chess and can plan better for some reason.

for something amusing, you can go on lichess and turn the bot up to 3,000 elo.

it turns into "don't win. survive".

Shockingly, nope. Grandmasters can hardly even get a draw with it. Magnus is 2875 ELO, but when you get that high even a tiny amount makes a world of difference.

damn i underestimate just how strong these chess bots are nowadays. i remember the days of Deep Blue where it was an achievement to beat Kasparov once out of like 5 tries.

I believe Kasparov returned for a tournament against modern high level players in 2017. He placed 8th out of 10th. In 2016 he beat 15 players at once.

Not bad for someone who's been retired for over a decade.

Oh, and a fun fact you might know. Magnus did play Kasparov when Magnus was only 13 years old. Magnus was up material, but kasparov saved it with a draw.

This guy is incredible for learning https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6hOVYvNn79Sl1Fc1vx2mYA

It's why I've been rising up in ELO so quickly.
