Liking the new live game room!
Posted: Apr 8, 2019, 6:12 AM

It's in alpha, so I'm sure there will be improvements, but so far I'm liking it. I'm looking forward to seeing some speed tournaments, vrrrm vrrrm!

Retired from TB Pente, but still playing live games & exploring variants like D, poof and boat

100% agree. Turn-based has its obvious advantages, but at times it feels more like a series of puzzles than a game, and I miss the excitement of live play. I encourage all the top tb players here to incorporate live play into your regimen--I would argue that it is the only way to develop certain skills needed for mastery, such as long-term visualization, intuition, and just playing a crapton of games in all sorts of openings so that nothing surprises you and you learn what style of opening suits you best. Also, you get a chance to win as Black!

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.
