You share my pain, mate

Ouch, sir. I'm sorry:/

I'm preparing my comeback

Btw, we should play chess one time as SN arch-enemies

We can even play for sats if you want. Doesn't mean I think I'm going to win, just that I'm even willing to lose money just to play with you

Maybe I'll get an epic stalemate haha

Wow, wow, wow, what a performance... Just playing or have studied some "secret" opening?

Not secret, but I've studied king's Indian + Jobava London quite a bit

8 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 18 Nov

Wait, there are variants of the London opening?

I only learned how to play King's Indian and London.

I've been following Naroditsky's opening advice -- just try different ones and keep playing the ones that work for you. (I've won an insane number of games in the 1200-1500 range from easy quick-attack Jobavas)
