So there have been so many topics asking about the role of luck in chess. Here's a Google Search url since chess.com's search feature doubles as a vacuum cleaner.

Today the bunny learnt from a world leader, who looked for grand chess masters in his country but found none, that luck is a very important word.

How does this affect anything? Haven't the foggiest idea. So it is with a heavy heart that the bunny posts this in off topic which he normally tries to avoid. But the bunny isn't very normal is he? 

Good luck.

The bunny has finally confirmed its gender.

After tons of searching — under rocks and everything, I am pleased to report that I have found a chess master who provided an exemplary reasoning as to why luck is such an important word:

RAR Tip #1: Say "RAR!"


You might wonder how I managed to reach 1838 USCF. For the first few years, it was actual skill. I played a lot, and was so naturally talented that I didn't study. At all. However, a year ago I stopped making progress. It became clear to me that in order to get better I would have to study. But no! I would NEVER do that! My playing strength will be 1600 for the rest of my life. But I still wanted my rating to go up. So I decided I needed Good Luck. I'd rather have good luck than good skill. To have good luck, I figured I needed to INTIMIDATE my opponents. In one of my most recent tournaments, I had the courage to simply say rar before the game, during the game, and after the game. My opponent was rated around 1600 but played much worse, allowing basic tactics! Simply say "RAR", and you will gain 238 rating points like me! (Not) Guaranteed!

By the way, you can see how badly my opponent played here: https://www.chess.com/blog/Joseph_Truelson/the-rar-attack-july-tornado-rounds-3-4

Looks like nobody listened to the farewell speech.

Maybe more listened to the inauguration. 

Lots of luck folks!
