I play every so often against mates and people around who might play. Only get beaten by one mate who plays alot and in turn Im the only one to beat him in 10 years or so. Im far worse on the apps than on a board for some reason. I think I started one on chess.com but the take up was very limited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 On chess.com Isabel from Costa Rica is driving me nuts! They seem to have made her more difficult to play suddenly and I can't win anymore. :s It's been weeks now since I won a game against her. Curse you Isabel from Costa Rica !!!

Can't get anywhere near Li though she is like a fortress. I've started just beating Emir everyday to build my confidence as I lose so many games consecutively against my limit opponents it starts to knock your confidence. Also set a time limit in the evenings as I started seeing chess constantly when I was trying to sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo71 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Very decent. I'm 1517 at rapid but I find it increasingly difficult to find time to play longer formats. Conversely I'm finding it progressively hard to play fast, age is setting in a bit! I go for 5-5 to squeeze a game in, but the quality suffers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
