On Chess.com you can play XXL chess. And the result is similar to what you're describing where when you play a couple of games it expands you vision when you switch back to regular chess.

@Leo Gura Game 6 is your most impressive game by far, the computer played solid until it made one insane move 23...e5 and self-destructed (a move no human would ever make). Overall your good at positional chess and thats rare for someone who played for less then 1 month.

Youtubers about being a good writer, try to improve your script writing you need a hook to begin with.

@TimStr it's so clear why GO did not catch on in the West, it's missing action, is missing speed, it's missing Glory, it's missing Blood and Guts and brutality, it's missing the art of destroying your opponent career, and it's missing the botez sisters. It's to Buddhist.

He seems to be very healthy.

The problem with GO is there’s no hype train on social media making it fun. Board games are social games.

That’s definitely true, and Leo can benefit from that, memory becomes a thing after a certain level where regardless of whether you know how openings work you find yourself in bad positions after the opening consistently. And then you gotta fight to survive right out of the opening. Like how are you gonna play the Sicilian without knowing an opening repertoire on it? At some point when the skill levels get high enough you’ll get destroyed constantly in the opening unless you learned that specific opening. Another issue is it’s really boring repeating the same moves over and over again. The opening is the part where you think the least. And if you ever try to be creative, you get destroyed. Unless you’re highly skilled at opening. There was this one opening line that I had memorized by accident because it just stuck in memory and one out of 10 games I played was a free win basically. I will get an outrageous advantage in the opening cause my appointment would fall for a complicated trap. You could spend your time memorizing every opening trap and every 3 to 4 games you play you’ll just get free huge advantages.

Well he was giving Standard self-help and science advice and then he went down a religious path that he mistook for spirituality. Everyone at blue is a lunatic in bed.

That's definitely true. I don't really have a good counter to that, I enjoy my routine too much now I don't really want to go back. lol

It was paid! Okay so it looks like it wasn't stated how much each man paid. Maybe I'm completely wrong maybe someone could explain this but if a girl just had sex with 99 men and I'm the 100th man in line you need to have some psychological problem with you to want to have sex with her. What could you possibly get out of that interaction? If they feel like it was worth it, okay great, personally I would be disgusted that a 100 men ejaculated inside her and I'm next. I'm sure I'm completely insane. I should be more open-minded. It's true I'm just judging them because I don't share their preferences. You're right.

you got me lmao, I got to about 2250 peak on chess.com when I was a teenager but this was 15 years ago. I haven't played since then lol my normal rating was lower like 2100 This is my new plan seeing as the number one priority of Leo is now chess. 1) exercise about 45 minutes. 2) make sure not hungry and in the zone. 3) take 100ug of LSD, wait 30 minutes 4) play about 10 games. Until you noticed your diminishing. 5) wait 4 days and then repeat. This is the only way to do actualized.org chess Justice.

@Princess Arabia I need to make my jokes more factually accurate next time. lol noted.

Unless your rating is over 2700+ you haven't truly figured out the game. 2500 haven't figured out what the 2800 have, that's why they are not stronger, its not just pure genetic horse power. I dont have any idea what im doing when playing chess and im at 2300, every time i play its all a mess, i see all my blindspots but have no idea what im blind to. Like spiral dynamics there are stages your blind to above. Every 300 points increase is likes seeing a whole new world. When stockfish shows me after analyzing "the right way to play", it looks like pure magic. "This is the right way to coordinate these pieces in this position" to intuitively be able to grok that during game this is not simple. Hold on i sound to serous and am to opinionated, im going to get scolded. --- When your a beginner its much easier to make progress, but after 2000+ you have to dig for it. You don't know what your doing wrong and the engine will not help you. As a beginner the engine is very useful, after that point it does not teach you how to improve.

I clean my teeth but I don't brush them. Routine: - after eating: rinse mouth with water - every meal - clean any debris with nails thoroughly - clean when you feel dirty during the day - use teeth awareness to know when your dirty Ive done this for at least 6 years. My teeth have not changed and I have no smell at all, breath is perfect. Gf does not understand how any of it is possible. if you have good oral bacteria you dont need to kill things in your mouth.

Urine, because it's sterilized through nature and the government hasn't tampered with it.

When i play on LSD i gain 400+ points rating, i play like a god. It's insane how effective psychedelics are for chess. But that probably works for any performance enhancer.

@Unlimited @Leo Gura So the bot ratings dont improve in a linear way, they are overly good at calculation, if you played a human of equal strength they will make tactical mistake, but the bot will not. The bots unnaturally get good at tactics and normal humans dont. Also when a bot makes a mistake its unnatural, they make mistakes a human player would never make. it feels like the bots are artificially debuffed.

That's fantastic progress, by that rate in 8 months you'll be 3300 rating. I never seen anyone practice by playing Bots, Only you can find comfort playing with a machine.

The 1700 rating of the bot is relative. It's rating depends on the pool of people it's competing against. If a million people is in the pool and it scores a 1700 rating on average, then it's strength is 1700 rating in that pool of people. 3min chess, 5min chess, 15 min chess... 1 hour chess.. They all have different ratings on the chess website. I'm not sure if you noticed because maybe you never played against people yet? Magnus Carlsen on chess.com has five different ratings depending on what time control it is. If you can beat that bot 50% of the time then you are 1700 strength, in whatever pool that bought is competing in. But you're likely playing a bot that is not competing with other humans so it's just a predefined rating created by the programmers. By seeing the skill level of that bot I would place it at around 1300-1500 fide. I know that's not what you wanted to hear But I spent more time thinking about chess and I did jerking off, so I probably can't give that bot an orgasm like you can.

I know what you're saying. It's unclear what he's doing exactly. It looks like he weighs candidate moves and then picks the best one based on intuition and half-assed calculation.

Yeah I agree when you're playing one minute games or you're scrambling under time pressure, then it's all intuition. I think we're miscommunicating, I'm talking about something a little more subtle when it comes to intuition versus calculation. Intuition just happens naturally as you dwell on the position ideas flow into the mind, calculation is a deliberate multi-step process. And Hikaru is going to deliberately do a multi-step process most of the time. While Magnus is dwelling more and not thinking too much in advance he allows the ideas to flow into his mind. Gotham chess is also biased towards calculation. I'm speaking from being able to relate, like I am heavily intuition based, and I don't think at all. And every move I make is basically 2200+ level. I'm not calculating at all or foreseeing even one move into the future. I have an idea of what the opponent might do but I didn't do any deliberate calculation, it's only when there's a tactic involved that I stop and pause and think. While Hikaru will always calculate in every position if he has time.

They are both exceptionally good at calculation and intuition. But Magnus can beat anyone at any time frame. And that's because his dominant ability is intuition, while Hikaru has the limitation of being dominant at calculation. They are both highly intuitive and highly skilled at calculation. The reason Hikaru is "bad" at long games is because he lacks the intuition that Magnus has. Hikaru is doing a lot more calculation than Magnus does on the board, and that's why he can't keep up. Deep intuition > calculation. Blitz is a completely different animal. It's mostly intuition and quick five-move calculations. Most of the time Hikaru is calculating in bullet games, and it's shocking. I cannot calculate that fast, while Magnus is not doing as much heavy calculation in his blitz games. Of course they're both using intuition and calculation. Definitely Fisher random was my solution back in the day but because the player pool was so small and it wasn't as competitive and no one else was basically doing it I didn't have the motivation. Also when there's more pieces to patterns are a little easier to see and more fun. OMG LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😅 The fewer pieces on the board, the further into the future you have to calculate. When there are a lot of pieces, both you and your opponent have limitations in terms of the distance you can accurately calculate. The problem with endgames is the tactics and maneuvering that appear are very meticulous, and at the highest level, it boils down to pattern recognition and memorization. https://chesstempo.com/chess-endgames/ This website will help you do tactics puzzles in endgames. And as you improve you'll quickly realize the monotony of it. Is just not as fun as regular tactics puzzles. But this training has to be done if you want to improve.

That can very well be true but I know that none of these guys put the work in to reach their full potential. They're a long way from maxing out. Most of the time when people hit a plateau it's because they're just repeating the same bad habits and patterns over and over again without making effective corrections to their own thinking process. It's like playing the same song over and over again on the piano because it's easy and fun, but you never improve that way. They have to progressively challenge themselves. (I know you know this I'm just repeating) I stop playing chess 15 years ago but my Peak rating was 2350, and the reason I stopped improving was was because I could not put the time and energy to focus on the boring stuff. Which was endgames and openings. I found openings to be a complete waste of my time to memorize, and against the love I had for chess, and end games are also relatively boring and require a lot of memorization. I don't think I maxed out my memorization, visualization, calculation ability, because there was always an area of weakness that I could have focused on especially when most of my games were losses in the opening. So there was plenty of room to improve. It's very unclear, Magnus says he doesn't do heavy calculation, he only does it to double check but most of the time his intuition is right. Hikaru is heavily calculation based thinking process while Magnus is more of intuitive based.

My favorite brand is tap water.

@Daniel Balan what is your rating and how do you know he's a good teacher if you didn't reach the top levels yet? The problem with every single teacher including Hikaru is that they're telling you what calculations they're doing. When that's the easiest part. The reason no one's progressing is because you think it's all about calculation when it's not. It's all about effective training strategies. How are you going to train in a very specific way to improve? Especially when you're stuck at the same rating for years. That being said Daniel is pretty good 😁
