Re: How about a Chess tourney?
How about a new chess tourney for 2022, top 8/16 players with more than 10 games on chess.com. Players chime in $5-$10 each for a prize pool of $40/$80 - $80/$160 + donations if any. Thoughts?

Re: aoe3 players should stream more chess
true it does represent a major part of the game. Tbh 40 moves games are rather short medium games without obvious mistakes from a side are more like 60 moves but I understand your point

Re: aoe3 players should stream more chess
True, knowing theory helps but I am positive that you can reach tremendously good level without theory at all. Two good friends of mine are IMs and they just don't know any theory. The opposite is also true, you can easily reach IM just by learning sharp theory, training tactics and elementary endin...

Re: aoe3 players should stream more chess
tbh opening theory really doesn't matter until very high level in chess. I play a weird system with black with a 2400+ performance otb in about 40 games. Feeling at ease with th positions arising with a system is more important than the system being correct or not. I stopped playing some opening jus...

Re: aoe3 players should stream more chess

Truth be told I play a solid 2250-2300 rating now but it's been 7 years that I am with my wife so as many years without competitio...
