I’m playing the stonewall, or trying to, but in 80% of the games I’m playing my opponents (rated 800ish) are castling queenside. Its like they know whats coming.

Anyone find they have a screen size preference? I seem to win more often on my phone than my laptop 😂

Maybe because its easier to see the entire board?

@keithfeldtgmail-com I’ll attempt to post one later. But I’m going off chess.com analysis which isn’t finding any blunders and very few mistakes.

I’m rated around 800, and playing opponents in the 650-850 range. They aren’t blundering. My last 4 or 5 games my opponents have had 80% accuracy, many best moves found, and […]

New game. Opponent 722. 89.2% accuracy. 0 blunders. How is it possible to improve against these opponents?

It’s weird. Until recently I played purely to pass the time when Netflix is rubbish, but I’ve decided I want to get better. In the “Netflix distraction” games I would do game reviews and realise my opponent had hung pieces or given me a fork or I’d missed a checkmate. Now I’m trying to improve it’s like these same players have suddenly…
