Day 17: Playing Chess Every Day Until I Reach 2300 Rating

[@ScizGraffiti]

I would bet most people are happiest seeing you play live games. I don't think you need to worry about talking too much during the game anyways because the game is honestly suspenseful enough haha especially for people trying to follow along. I'd say that any commentary is just a bonus during the live game. And the more you play while talking the easier I think it'd get but I've never tried so idk

Congratulations. I like this format better because you will make better moves during the game and make better analysis after the game. I would love to see videos on the Pegasus system.

A quick word to express a contrary view. I prefer the format where you narrate your thought process as you play, preferably followed by a quick analysis of the game using the engine. If you feel that live narration lowers the quality of your game, you might consider a longer time control, e.g., 15|10 instead of 10|0 or 10|5. Even 10|15 might give you enough time buffer to narrate and also play your best moves. Just a thought... In any event, please keep this great content coming!

Thanks for your insight!

I find this format way better

I'm not a d4 player, but I'm always open for other ideas. Personally, I like more the live format, but we can understand your choice :)

I’m a queen’s gambit player but I want to learn a new opening, might try to learn the pegasus system or catalan. Currently I’m 1100, my goal is to get to 1500

[@Pegasus-Chess]

Good luck with your chess improvement! If you already play Queen's Gambit then the Pegasus System is a good idea, I also like the Catalan.

[@ZOoM21]

@@Pegasus-Chess Thanks! I'll try the Pegasus System first then.

When I tried this system I like to play queen c2 in it because it allows the queen to protect both the bishop on d3 and the knight on b2 while building a battery with the d3 bishop as well, but I guess e2 is the best.

[@Pegasus-Chess]

I think Qc2 can work in the lines where the c-file won't open up any time soon, Qe2 is generally safest. Thanks for sharing!

[@DhrjMakj]

I like this format

You are a fast learner if you're only on day 17 and already 1930 elo I've been playing for a lot longer than 17 days and barley at 900 elo
