I'm currently rated 1200 rapid and 1800 correspondence (no engine assist or anything) on Lichess.

I recognize that I am still a beginner/improver and not even at club level yet, but I really love learning about chess. I'm slowly working through Capablanca's 60 best endgames.

I would like to dive into Garry Kasparov as I find him to be an exciting chess player and what seems to be a good person outside of chess.

Are there any books about or by him that I could start with? I'd like something that has annotated games, but has more written analysis or history...rather than deep theoretical lines that are overly advanced.

When playing online chess specifically, or an evening of chess, so you analyze each game immediately after playing? Or do you play a bunch of games and analyze specific ones afterwards?

I feel like if I analyze immediately after my memory is fresh, but I'm rushing the analysis to get to the next game.

I posted earlier today that I am getting back into chess and plan on playing 1.e4, 1.e5 or 1.d5 as my openings.

However the books that got me really excited about chess were Yasser Seirawan play winning chess books. His suggestion for beginner openings is to play KIA as white and KID/Pirc as black. His reasoning being that it quickly puts your king in a safe position before focusing on the center of the board immediately after.

I am wondering what other people think about this advice? Has anyone had success following that advice or is 1.e4 the only real answer for beginners?

Edit: to clarify he suggests the "Barcza Opening".

I am coming back to chess and looking to focus on Lichess Rapid games. I never really played blitz or rapid on Lichess.

Current stats:

Correspondence = 1647

Rapid = 1092?

Blitz = 1070?

Puzzles = 1610

I'm trying to take this opportunity to "learn the right way" and stick with the basics, without too much opening focus. I'll play 1.e4 with white and 1.e5/d5 for black.

My question is for white. Is there a big difference between the Italian/evans and the Vienna game/gambit for beginners? Are both good options for growth and learning?

Chessbrah building habits appear to focus on the Italian 1.e4 2.Nf3.

Gotham Chess appears to focus on Vienna 1.e4 2.Nc3...potentially followed by the gambit.

In particular, I'm looking for good chess books that do not require a board. I have a bunch of good books that require me to sit at a board to play out the explanations.

Ideally, I'd like one I can just read on the couch while relaxing.

Beldum sucked. And now I have Metang and I'm fighting the blizzard city gym, and it's garbage. It feels like it's weak to everything since the start of the game. It's defence sucks and its damage sucks.

Did I make a big mistake picking this starter? Thinking of boxing it or starting over.

Is there hope for the final evolution or is it doomed to being a slow weak pokemon?

Do you ever change your team after beating the Elite Four?

For example, do you switch to legendary pokemon for post game or box your starter? Or do you just keep running the same team forever?

I've recently been playing FFTA and my main 6 members are level 10-13.

I just noticed that none of my random low level clan members than randomly join are strong enough to do any dispatch missions. Even my human hunter who I've used occasionally is struggling to keep up, and going on dispatch missions doesn't seem to improve his skills at all.

So what do I do?

Do I rotate members every battle? Do I just kick all the low level members and accept stronger ones?

Help, is Mankey in this game?

I've been looking in the Acrisia Mountains for two days now and have not seen one. All the guides online say Mankey is 10% day or night.

Is it just me or did Lumo really slow down recently.

It used to quickly answer my questions, but lately I can watch it think about simple questions. Even a simple "clean up my email" request takes a bit of time.

Does anyone have experience using the miyoo mini for music? The default player in OnionOS feels complicated.

The text is tiny, pressing B deleted music?, music stops when the 5 minute sleep setting ends, etc etc.

Wondering if there's a guide for this or perhaps another music player I can download onto Onion?

Hey, the subreddit wiki appears to be out of date. Referencing v1 and v2 with outdated firmware and instructions to get onion.

The recent Miyoo mini v4 comes preloaded with onion0S.

My question is about using a new/better SD card. Can I just format the SD card to FAT32 files system, then copy everything from the old crap SD card onto the new one?

Hello all,

I have been reading the Google spreadsheets and want to confirm something with the community before I potentially mess up my pokemon.

Am I correct in thinking that Ninetales has the same level up learnset as vulpix? For example if I use a Firestone at level 17, will my Ninetales still learn flamethrower at level 32?

In other games this is not the case and I would need to wait for level up at level 33. But the Google spreadsheet shows the same level up learnset for both.

I am trying out Pokemon Yellow Legacy ROM right now and have a concern about saving.

Typically in pokemon you'd save before an important point like the legendary birds or Mewtwo. This is necessary in case you don't catch the pokemon. You turn off the game without saving and start from your previous save point..

How do I do this on the miyoo mini?!

I saved before I battled with Rival to test it out. And if I hit the menu and go to "game switcher" and "remove from history"...it does nothing. I immediately go back into the game in the middle of the fight.

If I instead hold the power button the miyoo does a "saving progress" before shutting off and the same problem persists.

What is the fix here?

Hello all, I am looking to get a Miyoo mini or mini+ if convinced that's the better option.

Below is the product I am looking at, it reminds me of pokemon yellow:

https://www.amazon.ca/Handheld-2-8-inch-Miyoo-Mini-Onion-System-Portable/dp/B0DMSHRMQZ/ref=pd\_aw\_ci\_mcx\_mh\_mcx\_views\_0\_title?pd\_rd\_w=0k6b6&content-id=amzn1.sym.1ff56351-261c-47d9-93bd-16a2016de24a%3Aamzn1.symc.6f25bf6c-6456-4ba5-b75d-5f5614122131&pf\_rd\_p=1ff56351-261c-47d9-93bd-16a2016de24a&pf\_rd\_r=YXXQAEMVET2KMJ76EQ8S&pd\_rd\_wg=BlZ3Q&pd\_rd\_r=6aa6ea59-1e4b-4211-b781-a451e51960e7&pd\_rd\_i=B0DMSHRMQZ

Not sure I'm allowed to post links, but my question is about the seller "Fingerevo" and whether or not they are legit.

Alternatively there's a Miyoo Mini+ being sold by "Miyoo" on amazon.
