How do you usually play?

I closed my chess.com account. I almost got doxxed. Which made me look into their privacy controls. Which there aren't really any and you'd think there shouldnt be with chess but if course we live in a stupid world.

I played someone and they basically reported my account a bunch of times and looked at who I played and pretty much targeted my friends and coworkers on the app, sent messages and requests, reported their accounts and shyt.

I looked into it and since you can't hide your play history (particularly, who you played) I had to bush it. I have a select group of women I play/played with and I'm assuming it's one mf that just went down my list. Stalked them all.

Im probably going to make just an acct for coli players. But I'm still kind of pissed that the whole thing was able to happen so easily that I just play local and on other platforms.

I never did rapid games or any time limit. Just 1 move per 24 hours and made moves)played when I got the chance via my phone. But since I majority of the time played with coworkers and friends we knew of each other's schedules so there was kind of a flow of when we could expect to play vs when we were just unavailable. Playing random people I feel like you either have to play a time limit game or just wait for them.

Right now I've been focusing on rapid time controls. I've been going to chess club around here sparingly to get some over the board games/classical in and learned that I really needed to break some bad habits that I got from grinding out blitz and bullet.

Favorite time control right now is 15m + 10 or just 10m no increment if I need a hard stop on a game I'm running during a lunch break or something.

I don't fukk with blitz, playing too fast makes me think of the move that's right there but not the move 2 moves ahead.

Having analyzed my game I need to think more about what the opponent is going to do.

My boys pops is an OG. We were all chillin and my boy was playing a bot on chess.com and my boys pops walked through what the opponent should do based on what my boy did.

Say my boy was thinking of moving his knight to f3, my boys pops would say "well if you do that than it should do this or this...." And he was hitting probably 80%. if he suggested one move, the computer would follow through and do that same move, and if he suggested 2 moves, easily 90% of the time it did one out of the 2 moves.

He's a real og. He knows his shyt. I hope to be like that in 30 years.
