Hive Chess Season 10, Round 3 - A round to forget

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I'm not good enough to play at this level, I need to up my game to be able to compete. In most of the rounds of the Hive Chess Season there is something called Berserk, a mode where one of the players halves their time and if they win, they get 3 points per victory instead of 2, this gives the lower rated player an 'edge' that kind of balanced the game - I say kind of, because this halving works wonders for players who are used to playing blitz and bullet and doing so under little time makes no difference when it comes to their performance.

I lost all of my games, and I only tied the last one because there was no time on the clock and my opponent offered a draw. But yeah, I don't think I am recording these games anymore until I manage to get better and not make a fool out of myself.

I was going to upload this a couple of days ago but there was an issue with 3speak and the encoding, so here it is, a couple of days later, hope you enjoy it.

Sort:  

practica y memoriza aperturas, eso es lo que mas me ha ayudado a mejorar progrsivamente mi ajedrez, si sales bien de la apertura y tienes buena tactica ya estas hecho para la mayoria de los torneos blitz

Muchas gracias, justamente es algo que tengo que hacer, mi repertorio de aperturas es pequeno, solo tengo 3 para blancas y 2 para negras que realmente domino. Nos vemos este viernes!

I like your captions! Better days ahead! I still remember dropping my Queen to you.

Well, about stopping to record, you can just take a break if you really want it. As for me, it's not that bad, winning isn't everything, you do great with the videos!

Damn, I should've won that game man, not every day a strong player hangs a Queen like that :P

I kind of want to keep recording them but I feel like I can focus in the games and then record myself playing on chess.com just casual games. Thanks for dropping by man!

Hi 🙂 I like chess and your videos are very helpful

I just wish I could win more, this current streak is killing me :(

I also play chess although my rating is not high, the most important thing is that you enjoyed playing

Mine is not great, 1300 en Lichess is nothing to be proud of lol, keep practicing, you'll get better.

Sigue practicando! con tu empeño, pronto llegarás a ser uno de los buenos.

Espero que sea pronto porque estoy perdiendo muy seguido!

So nice to know about “berserk” that’s being more efficient in little time .thanks for the knowledge

It is definitely a balancing feature between strong and weak players, it works wonders in low time formats.

It's one of the few games l see to be special but never played one before.

You should definitely learn how to play, there's a big community here on Hive.

Thanks sir. I surely will.
