Chess
My old thread is too old to post on now, so here's a new one.

Talk about anything chess related.

Also, hype for MVL getting #2 on the live ratings list!

yeah I'm rated and play on both. My uscf and fide ratings are 3-4 years old though (haven't been to a tournament in a while) so they don't reflect my abilities at all.

I go to a chess tournament every year and I'll be doing the one for this year soon. Last time I won a decent amount of money (I forget how much, something in the hundreds though), so I hope to be succeeding again. I'm not particularly amazing (like 1650 uscf), but I think I'm pretty good for someone who never practices and plays one tournament a year. I occasionally would play lichess when I was bored in school but I haven't in a while since school ended.

It's fun though, it's weird it's the only ridiculously long thing like that I can keep an attention span in. I think I linked my lichess on another one of these threads a while back but here it is again if anyone is interested or wants to challenge me or whatever https://en.lichess.org/@/sluff

Ehhh…. I just hit 1.5k Elo in chess. Ez tournament to win tho. I legit just entered 3 tournaments and won the all. GG 10'd. This is my tip to get high Elo… Enter SMALL tournaments since the more tournaments you win the better your Elo.

Tournament wins doesn't equal ELO gains. ELO is based off of winning games, and if you're playing in a tournament with all weak players, you're not gonna gain much ELO.

Favorite to win Sinquefield Cup anyone? I'm rooting for either MVL or Aronian.

Well then I dunno how I got like 400 Elo from that tournament! I guess there were a few 1k's but they weren't too good

probably because you won a good amount of games. NOT because you were in a tournament. As I said, being in a tournament does not affect ELO gains/loses.
