I love this setup for the current chess.com pirate bots. (The pieces. I would find the board distracting)
But I can’t see it in the options when selecting pieces/board. Is there a way to import it? It would be so cool if chess.com started making these kind of things unlockable (beat the *insert elo* bot and unlock the pieces or whatever)
It's taken me a while to realise this after trying a gajillion openings since I started playing in the new year (yes, i'm not very qualified to even make this judgement).
But openings make absolutely zero difference for beginners. Seriously.
Statistically, the best openings at like 1000 elo are the Kings Gambit, English, Queens Gambit, Scotch but its basically negligible. These openings score a percent or two more overall and basically all openings are in practical terms, a 50/50
Ive seen a lot of video of people saying "don't play the ruy lopez, theres a gazillion possible moves!" Well yeah.. but there are for your equally terrible opponent too, so at worst, you are both 50/50ish
So basically, what i've learned, is play whatever the hell you want, but stick to it.
