The biggest mistake most people make with over-the-board chess:
Waiting too long to get started.
"I'll do it when I'm 100 points higher rated."
You can gain those online rating points, but they won't make you feel any different.
Tournaments aren't where you go to show everyone how good you are. They're where you go to get good.
Ultimately I think the delay is about fear of losing. A lot of people want a shortcut that lets them get good at chess without losing.
There is no shortcut. If you want to become a good chess player, you're going to have to lose a lot.

I don't know why, but after 1. d4 d5 if they play 2. c4 really quickly it means they're going to follow up with Nc3, but if they play it slower it means they're a Nf3 guy.

Magnus basically accused Hans of cheating in their game. Carlsen lost and withdrew.
The evidence: Hans wasn’t tense in critical moments of the game.
This is the OFFICIAL statement from the World Champ?

@MagnusCarlsen should be banned for disrespecting the players, the organizers, and the fans!

A practical thought on cheating suspicion: it's often most damaging to the one who harbors it. If you believe your opponent is cheating, you won't trust your own analysis, and you'll probably lose regardless of what they're actually doing.
