I worked with a Chess coach for a year, increased my rapid rating by 500+ points, then played an OTB tournament at the Mechanics' Institute in SF and lost in 10 moves to a 12-year-old

Always give your opponent respect (even though you think they are an idiot)! You wanna crush them but you should also always expect them to play the best move! No hope chess.

Replying to @teej_m
going to Las Vegas for the evo fighting game tournament was like this for me months of work to go 0-2
We bought our competitor's $60 PC optimization and tested it against ours. Paragon: 915 FPS. Xilly: 1,428 FPS. Same system. The difference was brutal.
