JJ @chesscom.bsky.social · 07/08/2025play u1800 and focus on consistency. If you're losing to lower rated players, it's because you're making errors that will make some (not all maybe not even most) of your games against 1800+s one sided in their favor. Stop making those errors and you get better games when you play up too. 110

JJ @chesscom.bsky.social · 25/07/2025My favorite way to annoy my spouse is by doing things she thinks are dumb and then unbeknownst to both of us they turn out to be what the cool kids are doing We had our cool queer Gen z neighbor over last night and she kept saying "swag," played pokemon with me, and split half a bottle of malort 030

JJ @chesscom.bsky.social · 21/06/2025By insisting the original argument is entirely unfounded and the source of the racism, they're denying the possibility that racism in the original writing and in the tradition of originalism is inherently absurd. 010
JJ @chesscom.bsky.social · 21/06/2025But you don't hear even the more liberal law professors saying that. Because then anybody who espouses originalism isn't just a colleague with differing views. They're a moron upholding discredited theories with inhumane consequences. 110
JJ @chesscom.bsky.social · 21/06/2025The failure of lib responses to bullshit like this stems from a refusal to admit that there might be at least a kernel of truth in the offensive arguments. Maybe on an originalist reading, the constitution does apply only to white people. But that's a reductio proof against originalism. 140
JJ @chesscom.bsky.social · 21/06/2025More generally, I don't love ... Ng4 because black has already traded one set of minor pieces so shouldn't feel so cramped as to force a second set off with ... Nge5, especially when that accelerates f2-f4 expansion that white dreams of but might not be able to pull off 020
JJ @chesscom.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Yeah ... a6 looks like it is fine and probably the most ambitious, but I would probably play 10 ... Ne8 and go to c7. Didn't love the decision to xb5 but feels consistent to needle the b5 pawn and force white to find creative resources like Ra3 to play for an edge 120
