Got this chess puzzle and after white plays Nxd5, the puzzle says black just hangs the queen with Nxd5..? Now why wouldn't black just play the more defensive Nbc6 instead? Wouldn't it be better to respect the pin and not give up the queen? #games
So I’m 960 on rapid and that’s been my main focus climbing that elo chart, I’ve been playing chess for almost a year and I wanna even out my bullet and blitz, but it’s incredibly more challenging. In bullet I’m 430. I just broke 400 a week ago but I was literally stuck in the 300s for 8 months. As far as blitz go, I just cracked 600 but that climb is definitely not as steady as my rapid.
So what’s the strategy with those two game settings to improve the elo? #games source
