My rules!

[mister-toxic]

I have an account on lichess.org(it's not called mister-toxic, I just like the name), and I've been struggling with ratings. I know it's not that important, but it means something to me. Anyways, I was going through a blip, so I created some rules to help me. You might like to read them :)

1.) No ultra bullet, bullet or blitz.
2.) Finish '100 Endgames You Must Know' by Jesus De La Villa(I was having a tough time reading that book).
3.) Under no circumstances you will berserk(This one was hard).
4.) No Eminem while playing rapid games.
5.) Have move confirmation on.

Thanks you for sharing your thoughts, and I'd like to have some good ideas to add up to your list, but let me only say one or two words to agree with you.

I have been always paying attention to ratings, and I have all set to play against players alike, so I can have kind of fair games, and at least feel competitive at my level, because being good is another thing.

1. This is true.
2. Congrats for finishing a chess book. I've been far away from them for they are too hard to understand... all those variations shown, you know.
3. Not always, but sometimes we are not in a good mood. The secret is identify these moments and stop playing right away, or rates will fall and fall.
4. Eminem may make them even more rapid.
5. Doesn't this make you lose time? I was having problems with premoves, them I disabled this feature.

Thanks for reading.
