benoni, in Let's talk about defenses to the King's Gambit

I play g5 on move 3 - don’t remember what it’s called. Very few people respond with the “best” h4 which gives me some attacking chances instead of just defending a passive position.

benoni,

(Then I go g4 and Qh5 in many lines)

kubernetes, in FIDE vs. lichess rating comparison

Very interesting, thank you for sharing.
I think the major reason for the difference in rating is caused because playing online vs. over the board is very different. And players that are used to play online might be not as strong over the board and vice versa. But this is just my assumption without any data behind :)

Hi, this is a crosspost from the lemmy community. It doesn't seem that there is an option to crosspost to Kbin, so I had to manually copy the post. Also, the pictures are a bit of a mess, with most of them not showing, and the rest super big. Sorry for that.

I think it is important to have some coverage of a big tournament with players like Carlsen, Anand, Nepo, Rapport, Duda, Aronian, etc. I hope you don't mind the crossposting.
