Hold on... you're 2500?
- ummonk 6y agoI doubt it. Actual 2500 rated players aren't looking 15 positional moves ahead during a game.
- bluGill 6y agoI didn't say 2500 raters players look 15 moves in advance in games (though in some simple endgames they can see farther than that). I said that they can see 15 moves in advance when they spend weeks (or even years) before the game preparing their openings. It isn't unheard of for players at the >2000 level to pull out a planned novility 15-20 moves into a game - a position never before reached in chess that they prepared for one specific opponent in a tournament.
- bluGill 6y agoI don't have a rating, but somewhere in the 1000-1300 range is a reasonable guess. I have beat a USCF 1500, but that was 1 game out of hundreds. I don't need a 2500 rating to know something about how they play.
