-takebacks

@EmaciatedSpaniard Youre advertising the fact that you may have above average intelligence in pointing out the sheer number of common and mostly dumb, forum topics.

You could therefore be in breach of the TOS. :-) :-) :-)

I was very tempted to include this:

https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/what-if-someone-is-farting-during-serious-chess-match?

but the entertainment value somehow caused me to drop it from the list
and some excellent strategic techniques were described in OTB play...

One more: Posts in General chess discussion, but should be in a off-topic discussion.

You missed the "which is better lichess or chess.com" posts.

Hello Hi

• I am 1700. Is it good? What rating is good? Answer: If you are not 2800 by the age of 18, you should just give up. You have no hope. You should instead focus on your studies.
• What is my rating in FIDE? (To be precise, I am 1700 in blitz on lichess; what would be my rating in FIDE classical?) Answers: (1) They are apples and oranges. (2) 0.6 * Lichess Rapid - 300 (3) It should be more like -600 than -300.
• What is the 'etiquette' about takebacks, resignation, rematch ... Answers: (1) I have disabled takebacks (2) I give takebacks if it is obvious mouse slip (3) My opponent said he made mouseslip and after I gave takeback, he played something else
• I gave takeback and later when I asked, my opponent refused. Why do people act like this?
• What is the difference between skills/playing styles of players around 1700 and players around 1800?
• Best opening?
• I am 1700; is sicilian good for me?
• Should someone below 1500 play xyz opening? (Answers: 1. No, it is too theoretical. 2. Yes, you should play all sorts of openings.) 3. Dragon is ok, but don't play Najdorf.
• I am banned, I didn't cheat. What should I do?
• Is xyz considered cheating?
• Is the other site better?
• I have made this training plan (30 minutes tactics every M,W,F; 2 rapid games daily; study 2 hours on Saturday and Sunday, ...) What do you guys think? Should I do 10-0 rapid or 15-10 rapid?
• Is woodpecker method good to go from 1700 to 2000 in 6 months?
• Engine was saying I was +2, but I lost. Why?
• If Magnus played with Capablanca, who would win? If Capablanca could study with Stockfish for 3 months, would he be able to beat Magnus?
• My friend ghosted me; what can I do? (Answer: post it on /r/relationships)
• Is "My System" good? I have already read Silman; should I read My System?

And the best questions of all: Why do women play in separate tournaments? Why is number 1 rated woman player only 2680? (I am asking because I am new to chess, I don't know how it is in chess.)
