[V8 end] loved the universe , hated the high level fights.

Basically the battles at the end were « He grafted the symbolism of yesterday onto the conceptual endpoint of destiny ». I don’t know if I am just stupid but I found it very hard to follow and enjoy. The low to mid tier battles were much more satisfying for me. Just wanted to share my opinion on this. Cheers

White to move, don’t understand the concept.

Hi, screenshot from an online course for the London system. White to move.
I don’t understand why pawn to a6 for black is an indication that black is preparing a queen move next.
Also assuming it is the case , I don’t understand why the course here retreats out white queen.

I am 800 rapid , and those concepts here eludes me.

Thanks for your insight 🙏

[Spoilers] I love this game

Still going through the story but I love the little details and humour. Like I have a +5 on a check with Septimus because « you have a fucking gun ». It made me laugh so hard and i wasn’t expecting that
Man it just make sense and many other games just don’t.
Small detail but there are sprinkled everywhere I love it.
So far it’s on par with Disco Elysium for me. It just hits different.

Will I get the red trench coat from the game cover ?

Hey, I absolutely love the cover image of this game with the red neon flashy trench coat (or raincoat ?).

Could you please point me to the right direction to acquire it 🙏

Is there a way to rest officially on the case ?

Hey, first four of the game. Is there a way to rest on the case when getting the phone call ? Or it is just an illusion of choice ? (The game hints that it could be done). I tried 3 times and nothing works.

Why this is an imprecision ?

How wining a knight trough a fork is worse than having no material advantage in the other case ? (8. Nc3 c6 9. Dxc6 Qdx1+ 10. Rxd1 bxc6 11. Ng5).

I guess the postion is better for white but why having just an extra peace is considered worse by the computer ?

Chess.com thinks that i faced / played Englund Gambit 65 times

But I faced it maximum 10 times i am sure of it. My total games since I created my account is less then 300 games. I always play London system but at my elo i swear I didn’t face it this much.

Those chess.com stats aren’t trustworthy ? Or what I am missing here.

Which one is better ?

I am struggling to understand how much weight are the perfect aspect roll on the ancestral versus critical strike damage roll on the non ancestral

Build : ball lightning, Mekuna build push variant

What to do when IC is on CD for 40 sec after a death ?

Hi, using the push variant of ball lighting from mekuna.
It is all or nothing. Either I destroy everything because I win more , or I get one shot and have a 40+ sec cd on IC and without it I do no damage.
Is it normal or I am missing something ? I have all the uniques and the mythics, 100 % of crit etc.

Edit : sorry I meant Unstable current , UC. My bad.
One answer says use hydra and I don’t use it often so I guess it is it. Thanks 🙏

Hi, I played 80h as a warlock and making a barb now, selig whirlwind. I have all the mythics.

I for the love of me cannot understand how this build has 100% berserk time for the crucible talisman set.
Only thing I see is « war cry » but it is only 6 seconds of berserking and the CD is 22,75 seconds in my case.

What I am missing ?

For reference I use maxroll guide
