Black queen just snagged a couple pawns while I pressed this attack. I'm not seeing any line so far that doesn't need an additional positioning move. That queen and white bishop are a pain in my ass at the moment. Thoughts?

The only reason I am posing this game is to show how not to care about pain and threat coming down on you if you know you can pull it off.

In other words, don't be a pussy and make a safe move when you are on total fucking offense (tempo -- tempo is important -- I was fucked without having one-move advantage in tempo).

(Yeah, I know I am a shit player and was playing another shit player, but it worked out for me ... yey!)

In other clips, his advice to the rest of us is the old conventional wisdom of investing in index funds. My index funds are doing very poorly right now, but I am trying to DCA my way out the holes I'm in with limited success. Hopefully, the long hold will iron out market kinks. Anyway, I can listen to Hikaru ad nauseaum. Pretty worldly and interesting young man.

Tldr conclusion: the difference between 1500 and 1550 is absolute

If you sink down below fourteen hundred, maybe you played a bunch of games half asleep or distracted, you encounter players that effortlessly win games. I look at their accounts and often they use a 400 point opponent spread, so they play 1700s as often as 900s. Maybe that makes a great bad chess player

You can get stuck down there on account of some wild visionaries in the 1300s.

But! If you rise back above 1450 you encounter complete retards who make you say outloud "that's the 4th retard in a row!"

If I get to 1450 I very quickly pass through to 1550 where you then encounter actually great chess players. I cannot pass 1550 because I am not smart and dont learn. But that window of idiots around 1500 is pretty amazing.
