General Chess Discussion - What rating can I ultimately hope to achieve?#11

What's the point of achieving a high rating anyway? In the end chess is just a game, unless you're trying to go pro (and I'd say the chance of that happening is next to none). Stop trying to work hard…

Off-Topic Discussion - Another thread about random insults.#16

@LM F_D89 Nothing disproportional about it. I play chess for fun. I'm nowhere near grandmaster level and if I'm not having fun, of course I'm going to stop playing. And any joy from the game is lost a…

General Chess Discussion - What are some theoretic ideas in Atomic Chess?#4

It's ridiculous that this variant has 2 forced moves right from the start. White gets to develop 2 knights for free and black is forced to defend against constant mate from the get go.

Lichess Feedback - Ticking clock sound feature :)#2
