Roomba 960 Robot Vacuum

If you’re upgrading from a Roomba 960 and want strong value around $700, I’d look at the Roborock Qrevo S. It’s a major step up in navigation and suction consistency, handles hardwood and small rugs v

I’ve been looking online through pictures of the motherboards for 960 and 980, and it seems they *should* be compatible in terms of connections to sensors and all the motor drivers. One thing that’s b

I’m nowhere near 2600 and still find facing the same lines of the London or Slav defence repetitive. This narrative that you have to be a super GM to enjoy 960 is really wild, as if it’s only appeal

I’ve really enjoyed the little bit I’ve played a lot as a ~1600 rated player. My opening theory is far from where it needs to be, and 960 prevents people from playing their 1 line they always play b

I think you are way undervaluing the opening prep at lower levels.  I mean, just on a basic level, 960 prevents 800s from attempting scholar's mate every game, it stops people playing only one opening

I don't think it's a problem of top 200. I'm around 1900 lichess elo and Im Not a big prepper, so my opening repertoire is the one where I avoid opening traps. In 960 Its possible that something that

Fabi had a great opinion about this. While the 960 games seem more interesting and intense, nobody is going to remember those games, because nobody will even remember the starting position of those ga

Makes sense, but I also disagree. It’s a fun variation. At the top level, 80% of games are draws, and many of these are non-competitive games. 960 has a very low draw rate. Sometimes it is fun to actu

Hard disagree here. The average viewer isn't going to remember anything about any games other than the starting position (in classical), whether it be classical or 960. What Fabi said might be true fo

960 is simply a way for superGMs to still have fun playing classical (or even rapid). And as a niche within a pretty niche game/sport, it's fun to watch the absolute best have fun playing 960 as an o

I think it is hard to say for sure how preparation will end up working in 960, which is one of the reasons I think it is strange that people are so convinced that it won't be necessary. I think it is

Have you been watching the candidates? The decisive results (especially for Sindarov) have pretty much all started from 'spontaneity', i.e. novelties in the opening. At least in the Open section. W

Both should co-exist. But the time control for 960 should be what there is in Grenke, not that ,25+30 in freestyle WC.

Giri said it’s just 960x more prep. But honestly you can group similar positions and still study all kind of ideas within. So it’s just less prep for now until someone preps a lot and you wanna beat
