Re: Analysis of gameplay from someone 500 elo or more

Some quick notes. Starting with 4u4 leaves the rest of the structure weak, and going for column 4 is more difficult. 4u3 would be a better start, to be followed by a play in column 2 probably. Rebexus taking 1st player also looks questionable as the blue plays don't line up, and it may be forcing an...

Re: Azul Cup (National team tournament)

Hey there! I am interested in the formation of a 'Rest of World' team with those who also struggle to fill their country allocation. I feel your pain. There needs to be an "other" or wider regional subgroups to join with. I'm not sure if there are enough experts for a Team Caribbean, but ...

Re: Competitive Azul - Beginner to Master Video Series

With respect to the playing and talking at the same time, you could record yourself playing and then add commentary afterwards. If that's too much work, maybe try finding the right move first, and then explaining what you were thinking of after deciding. That way you don't confuse yourself talking t...

Re: Competitive Azul - Beginner to Master Video Series

I think my play has improved with the extra attention to adjacency. My rating has been going up at any rate. You said you weren't a gray wall player, and I think the two are connected. In gray wall adjacency is a much lower priority to consider since it's not really blockable until the later rounds....

Re: Competitive Azul - Beginner to Master Video Series

I haven't watched episode 3 or 4 yet, but with regards to the focus on which columns. 1 and 2 are the most important because of adjacency points and the ability to finish full rows. It is much less common to be able to fully finish row 3, so while it technically about as important as row 1 for total...

Re: Azul Weekly Puzzle #005

I like 3 reds on 3 here. There will still be yellow or black for the 2, and we can still finish the 5.
If opponent takes the 2 red and we take the 1 red, we are guaranteed the 2y or 2bk.

Putting them elsewhere (like the 4 or 2) seems wrong to me, as it would be trickier to still fill the 3 row.

Re: Had to say something...

I think I know.who you are talking about. I've had the exact same conversation with them :) Some top players are really nice, even when you beat them. Some people are just salty. There is a cultural difference though. For some people gg = Thanks for the game, For others it implicitly includes a &quo...
