@OThochukwu Okay

@Lordweb111 To gauge if you are stronger than them

Why do most chess players lie about their rating when you first meet them?

@kidiish where are you at?

@Lordweb111 Can we link up?

I'm currently teaching one of my friend chess, He's rapid rating is currently at 600 on chess. com, I'm challenging myself this month to coach him to a rapid rating of 1200 before the month ends 💪💯

@user18424125 True though

@Lordweb111 There's a pressure on the higher rated palyer, he's expected to win.

@voltronsworld wow that's cool... when do you intend playing an official tournament next?

I don’t lie about my rating. My official USCF rating is still in the 1200s because my last tournament was seven years ago. Since then I’ve trained consistently with an IM and my actual playing strength is now around 2000–2100. I’ll admit it, I do enjoy the moment when 1600–1900 players sit down thinking they have an easy win against a ‘1200.’ There’s something very satisfying about watching their confidence evaporate, especially when it happens in round one and they end up losing rating points and dropping out.

@Oscarniggasaki definitely once the community I plan creating is set

@Lordweb111 Come teach me bruh

@demifajulugbe exposure to stronger players made me improved fast

@Lordweb111 Ahahahaha... The motivation and fury after a loss is best expressed in the place of study. I had a similar experience too at FUTA chess club

The first Day, I visited the chess club in my school, I never new ppl where into chess like that, so I met a random guy, we exchanged pleasantries and he offered to play a game with me, long story short, I lost 10 - nil to him... Ever since then I took my chess growth seriously

@x3firearms cool

@Lordweb111 You don't want to scare them off from playing.

@OfficialMech055 I'm still trying to see a way to create a community for that, once it's set. Then you would have access

@Lordweb111 Coach me too abeg 🥹 I have a rapid rating of 700

@Allo_Enkasa For real bro

Headache bro 😂

@AjedrezGuy yeah, I willing to do everything it takes to meet up

@Lordweb111 600 points on one month... Looks a great challenger.

Do you prefer bishops or knights during the Endgame?

@Z3r0G0D7 you can just stick with me here on x, I do drop improvement tips time to time

@Lordweb111 Damn, I wish I have someone as good as you close so I can be coached one on one, I need to hit 1500 at least

@OluwadaraDaily it's now 30k in naira

@Lordweb111 What's the new rate?

Not related but Hi Daniel, I’ve been a Diamond member for nearly two years and was planning to renew shortly. However, I’m finding the new price point quite difficult to justify. As a long term user who I’d love to stay on platform is there any flexibility on the renewal rate?

@Z3r0G0D7 Yeah... keep watching and keep playing you would see result

@Lordweb111 When I’m done watching that’s when I lose the hardest

Watch stronger player games, then also try solving puzzles and understand basic game plans

I took this photo before a tournament held in my school

@Eren_Jaeg3r @Dannie_els cool

@Ankiii_i 😂😂

I was on a call with my friend while casually playing chess and in the middle of the game I went, “Oh, e4,” and from the other side she confidently replied, E for elephant? 😭

I coached my Alma Mater to a 3rd place Finish out of 106 schools at the National School Team Chess Championship, an event i won the Tertiary Category in 2024 as the captain of the UNILAG chess team. To say I’m proud of these boys would be an understatement.

@AmboreTiko Let's see how it goes

@Lordweb111 that's not possible 🙂
