RE: Hivechess Tournament Round 2: @tungphong was the winner!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Ich habe mich damit abgefunden: Diese Arena-Turniere werde ich nicht gewinnen können: Berserke ich nicht, verliere ich zu viel Zeit und gewinnen nur zwei Punkte pro Sieg (der ja außerdem trotzdem nicht garantiert ist), berserke ich, bin ich einfach nicht dazu in der Lage, die Maus schnell genug zu bedienen, wenn's drauf ankommt: Gegen @tungphong kam ich dreimal in ein vorteilhaftes Endspiel und hatte sogar mehr Zeit, überschritt aber in allen drei Spielen die Zeit (bei einem Remis hatte ich Glück, dass er kein Material mehr hatte). Gegen @vjap55 war's genauso chaotisch.
Fazit: Die jungen Spieler sind einfach zu schnell. :-)
Die besten Chancen dürfte ich noch bei einer kurzen Zeitkontrolle mit Inkrement wie Z. B. 2+1 haben, weil ich dann auch ohne Berserken schnell genug Punkte sammeln könnte und Berserken für die Schnellspieler doch sehr riskant wäre. Aber insgesamt bin ich auf dem Niveau wohl einfach zu langsam und werde auch nicht mehr viel schneller werden können.
Indeed, winning these arena tournaments is so difficult for the reasons you just pointed out, it's more likely to win for fast players, but in the flip side we still having fun xd
Yes, this time I just berserked and didn't care at all about the quality of the games. I will do that in Arena mode from now on ... My problem is just that others do that, too ... just faster than me. :)
Well, I understand you, I started beserking initially and I wasn't able to meet the speed while playing with a mouse. Am really fast with my mobile, But using a PC now, if I get beserked,I don't berserk back and I try to win faster (I berserk sometimes if the rating gap is much and if I play white).
But I noticed you play really well and lose on time, remember that game you binded me in my pirc opening, I still won on time. But I agree with you that @tungphong has benefited more from your speed issues,those endgames were painful.
Well, I am accustomed to it: I know that if I cannot reach a big middle game advantage, I will probably lose on time or make a big mistake due to time pressure. :)
Swiss-system tournaments without the berserk option are much easier for me to play, and I also like it, if the time control in Arena mode is so fast but with increment (like for example the 2+1) that the berserkers have problems to get enough points.
Of course rapid chess would be optimal for my playing style but I understand that's way too time consuming.
It's completely alright for me if the fast young players get the prizes (they can use the money very well, I guess), but sometimes from a chess players point of view it's annoying to throw away so many games in which I cannot convert my advantages.
