Yes, the players learn from garbage chess, mostly how to bust unsound openings that people messing around play. That the openings will never make anyone a GM doesn't matter, people just say "Oh I couldn't have beaten them anyway." They do this to justify a lazy, unsound approacfh that will never get them anywhere.

I'm not "disgusted after analyzing my games," I find it annoying that I have to refute every CRAP opening on the planet rather than play real openings, but that's chess. Just like an NFL team that runs trick plays and deliberately goes down 14-0 because it'll **annoy** the opponent to swindle a win.

I got to 2300 from 1500 seven years ago because I don't play crap and study properly. My rating will improve until literally the day I die, at an age when most people's rating goes down.

30 year-old rating, more recently 2308 peak on here one-minute.

What about your current blitz rating of 1384 ???

You said your 1899 USCF is outdated, from 7 years ago, while 2308 bullet is current, and you had gone through great improvement, because you "study properly". And you also say "people's rating goes down".

But just six months ago, you lost several games for 1200s players.. And I find your blitz openings to be very unsound...

Sorry, I can't find other explanation for this rather than using some kind of cheating that only works on bullet games...

Also, people don't learn openings from their games.. Especially not from bullet games.

Cellphone in transit.

I was 1500 on the servers in 2015 now I'm 2200-2308, my peak.

Fortunately I'm playing in the open section of the World Open to resolve all this. Glicko rating says I'm unrated btw.

Yeah that's libelous please retract that.

You mean YOU don't.

I got to 2000 USCF in 1989 when I was 22. I played my first rated game in 1987.

Look up August 1990 Chess Life readers' showcase where I was slaughtering a 2508 but lost on time.

I also hvae a 1988 tournament draw against 2556-rated Asa Hoffman.

In 2019 I beat Anton Korobov in fifteen moves with Black. He later beat kasparov twice.

Please don't accuse me of cheating thanks.

I wont listen to what you say to all. Years ago the Super GM's were under 2700. You call them garbage. Don't even dare to reply to people like that.Just close your account or get to 2700 yourself! Then you are really garbage!!!
Respect for Gordon = Declined
Don't start telling everybody about what is good for them. It matters for you. What your demands depend on is not the answer. What the good things depend on is the answer because of:
demands depend on : 26 percent
good things depend on : 74 percent
Thanks Ray.

Well Cellphone could decrease one's performance by perhaps 200 points. But 2239-1384 = 855 points drop, which is way too much. Don't you think?

> I was 1500 on the servers in 2015 now I'm 2200-2308, my peak.

Not sure which servers you are talking about. The Lichess account you are using was created in 2020.

Is the name Ray Gordon real or some kind of nickname/artistic name?

> Fortunately I'm playing in the open section of the World Open to resolve all this. Glicko rating says I'm unrated btw.

Your blitz glicko rating says it's provisional, not unrated. That's because you haven't played any blitz games over the last months.

Just a suggestion: The very easy way to "resolve all this", as you put, is to play 10 blitz games without the "cellphone in transit" constraint.

> You mean YOU don't.

It's not about me, it's about the bullet game characteristics. Bullet moves are too "random". From the actual game experience, we may create a set of "common responses", but that's not an opening repertory because it is not fully connected. We CAN build a bullet opening repertory, but that will be side task. The creation of something that is specifically designed for bullet games.

If you use classical opening book in bullet, it won't be very useful because you won't use much of it, because your opponent will likely just go off the book too early. On the other hand, in bullet, time is priority. You want to reach a position were you can make your moves fast, regardless of your opponent's response, and reach a position where your opponent will need more time to find moves than you did.

Sorry, I can't find none of this. What I can find is a youtube channel and a reddit post were you supposedly said in a video that you were "Ray Gordon says he is on track to be world champion within 3 years". The video was made private, so I can't verify. The comment is from 1 year ago.

Also, found a video named "Ray Gordon Solves Chess".

Sorry but all I see in your bullet games is that you flagged your opponents by playing faster, while holding down lost positions.
