reached 1234 rating in rapid, i'll never play again
What's your rating?
Shall we play?
Chess is so weird. I went from a pretty rough slump for the past two weeks, then yesterday I skyrocketed, I just hit a new peak and slaughtered my opponent over 100 ELO above me at my new peak.
any en passanters?
im more of a kok gambiter myself @tulip brook
nice. I'm around 1400-1500 on lichess in rapid, which should be like 1100 on chesscom. I've been pretty much playing only bullet lately, and I'm around 1250
Bullet is baaaaad for you.
Blitz is bad enough but Bullet is a form of selfharm.
10/2 or 15-0 are the perfect time controls for playing a game and also learning to play better.
This stalemate from the other day is incredible: black is winning and white plays Kh1 as a trap. If the bishop gets taken (as it did) there's a forced stalemate line for white:
I mean, it says 309. Doesn't get much worse. Haha
