Maybe have coffee beforehand, trust me you won't be able to improve much between now and the tournament, just make sure your in the right mental state

[serene umbra]

i have a board but no one plays with me?

[hollow seal]

Send a screen cuz a can’t see the analysis

[neon basin]

88-90% accuracy on 6/7 games as a 1000

[latent crystal]

I think I'm ready though

[hollow seal]

What’s up with that?

[atomic lintel]

that's just chess.com/analysis with 4 asterisks after it

[lofty badge]

if i cheat, u already lose

[neon basin]

Anyways i think my opponent could be Martinovici Ilia or something like that but should be fine

[hollow seal]

Look at my profile

[latent crystal]

Maybe practice playing with a clock?

[serene umbra]

bruu

[latent crystal]

Like Actually hitting it with your hand

[queen turret]

[atomic lintel]

[latent crystal]

Bros doxxing his opponents 😭

[hollow seal]

It depends the planter

Player*

[frosty temple]

[carmine lance]

[frosty temple]

[serene umbra]

im trying ti get to 1000 on bullet

[latent crystal]

YouTube shorts can

[serene umbra]

...

[hollow seal]

First become better at rapping

[latent crystal]

Ah rip, why was it bad?

[hollow seal]

Rapid*

[frosty temple]

Idk i hate parties

[latent crystal]

The Godzilla rap

[serene umbra]

dw im a pro 500 rated

[latent crystal]

I probably would too, we both introverts 😭

[hollow seal]

Kendrick Lamar

[latent crystal]

Bro I was higher than that when I started playing 😭

[frosty temple]

It sucks

[serene umbra]

chill bro i started chess yesterday

[latent crystal]

Will the real slim shady please stand up!

[frosty temple]

I mostly hate the loud music

[serene umbra]

its hard

[latent crystal]

Ikkk, I'm kidding

[latent crystal]

Ah I probably would too

We both Probably have a low social battery lol

[frosty temple]

Probably

[atomic lintel]

yoooo im 827

[latent crystal]

Also it's better to leave a party when it's going strong rather than its fizzling out fr

[radiant swan]

no clue

[atomic lintel]

slowly getting back up to 900

[latent crystal]

Yoooo, niceee, Goodluck getting to 1k

[atomic lintel]

yeah thank you

[latent crystal]

Getting to 900 is like the easy version of getting to 1000

[latent crystal]

AYO?

[serene umbra]

chat i cant get to 600

[latent crystal]

Learn kings pawn, the simplist oppening

[serene umbra]

alr bro get the mind out the gutter

[latent crystal]

And just lose, learn and then win

[serene umbra]

i kinda do that

[latent crystal]

I'm gonna continue kings pawn for white, but I gotta switch my black defence to kings indian and Karo cann

[serene umbra]

of it would let me record my game id show u

[latent crystal]

Kings pawn for black is losing ngl, it's a centre disadvantage if your opponent knows what to do

[atomic lintel]

you mean the open game?

[latent crystal]

Just send me Ur account name

[serene umbra]

ok

[atomic lintel]

e4 e5?

[radiant swan]

nah both are easy

[latent crystal]

Uhhh idk, when they push both pawns to centre like an ass, like bro keep it even 😭

Ur ruining the pattern

[latent crystal]

Compared to after? Ya

[atomic lintel]

e4 e5 is the open game and d4 d5 is the closed game

[latent crystal]

It's like the 7 day free trial compared to a month payment for going to 1500

Getting to 2000 and higher is like paying for a year

[atomic lintel]

god that hurts

is that 00ffff

[latent crystal]

He kinda right tho

It only took me 3.5 months to reach 1000

[radiant swan]

thats why u dont use light mode

[frosty temple]

I went from 1200 to 2050 in less than a year

[latent crystal]

I'm only just getting to 1200 and that took 2-3 months

[atomic lintel]

i need to play more 💔

[latent crystal]

Damnnn nice, it's definitely doable but would have been hard

[serene umbra]

maxippo i sent my user

[latent crystal]

I just need time to play a bit every day fr

[radiant swan]

this tbh
same fr i got frm 800 to 2100 in like 11 months

[frosty temple]

It's easy you just gotta play 40 hours a day

[radiant swan]

well ok count tht a year

[radiant swan]

no lol i dont hv that much time for games

[atomic lintel]

https://www.chess.com/game/140047860200

[radiant swan]

[honest copper]

where do you go wrong usually

[vocal musk]

[sharp forum]

@strong thistle https://link.chess.com/play/KxdeKC

[serene umbra]

i need my password and ngl i forgot it

[hexed magnet]

hit 2200

[mint adder]

Usually endgames if we're talking chess as a whole, but ehhh probably middlegames

[honest copper]

in blitz probs 2000s usually hang more pawns or pieces

[mint adder]

midgame and endgames, rn I'm working on my midgames, endgames I'm sitll procrastinating

[honest copper]

and 2200s can easier recognize positional patterns or like tactical patterns

[mint adder]

So the key to blitz is just not hang anything?

[vocal musk]

Whats ur cc username

[serene umbra]

its

Akashiisthegoat1

[honest copper]

i mean playing positionally at 2.1k you still gotta do a bit

which cld help you pick up an extra pawn

but lowk ppl wld probs sell advantages anyways so

[primal umbra]

After doing the 50% summer deal rn is the 50% off price locked in forever?

[last badger]

@mint adder did you know that if you want to find the best move in a chess position, you have to find the best move

[mint adder]

So the key is to play positionally?

[mint adder]

To become a grandmaster, just be one

[serene umbra]

Im number 1 in wood leage

[mint adder]

Tbf he has a point just play the best move you found along the way, not the best move of the entire position

which means your best move can be a blunder

[primal umbra]

Dayum, mate

congrats my current #1 on wood league has 1745 points lmao im not even gon try

[last badger]

My outfit for my next chess tournament

[serene umbra]

[serene umbra]

[primal umbra]

What do you have against london system?

[mint adder]

Anti-londons

[primal umbra]

Nice!

[serene umbra]

thats not nice

[honest copper]

yes and find easy tactical patterns

[mint adder]

lowkey I should commission a hat

[serene umbra]

my peak is 561

[primal umbra]

Idk what you mean i started at ~500 too

[honest copper]

like as long as your fast and you can find patterns quickly itll be easy

[mint adder]

I see, I'm training for tactics rn so going in the right direction

[honest copper]

yeah that should help

[primal umbra]

london is goated for new players i would say

very beginner friendly

[mint adder]

holy hell zeejay face reveal

[simple slate]

yea the knight on e5 with the pawns/bishop supporting it is hella annoying

i still dk how to properly face it

[last badger]

I think I been revealed my face lol

[honest copper]

where do i get that

[reef canyon]

where's the pics of you saying you'd wear that outfit

where is the outfit zeejay

[last badger]

Does this count as a face reveal 💀

[last badger]

My tournament is in 2 days

[latent crystal]

Sheesh, I 1181 now, I'm sooo close

[latent crystal]

Yes fr

[reef canyon]

!remind me 2 days

[last badger]

Just go to Amazon and search "custom text hat"

[mint adder]

bow to me mortals, in the past three days I reached 2200 bullet and 2100 blitz for like the eighth time

[simple slate]

i just dropped from 2200 to 2100 in bullet and 2000 to below again in blitz 😭

[latent crystal]

Yooo nicr

[last badger]

I used to have this pic as my pfp for everything lol

[latent crystal]

Have you tried blindfolded yet?

[nimble arch]

why is it flan with a top hat

[latent crystal]

Blindfolded is hard ngl

[honest copper]

good job

[nimble arch]

who does he think he is

[latent crystal]

But it's defo doable

[honest copper]

thats not good

[nimble arch]

bro is NOT duck with a top hat

[latent crystal]

Bro 2000 is the level where I'd say you good

I'm like 1173 so I'm like a beginner

[honest copper]

thats p good

how long have you been playing

[mint adder]

I'm not, I'm flan with a top hat

[latent crystal]

7 months

[mint adder]

ducks are not flans last time I checked

[latent crystal]

Tho I didn't really play on my 5th month

[last badger]

2000 is the elo when u get good enough to realize how "not good" you are relative to the top players

[latent crystal]

That's like, chess constantly 😂

[mint adder]

A chess player getting 2000 elo is like a kid who just hit puberty

[versed jasper]

Agreed

[latent crystal]

Unless your Magnus, in which case U still gonna lose eventually against hikaru or a 19 year-old

[latent crystal]

Fr 😂

[mint adder]

both of them realize they're still shit at whatever they're doing

[latent crystal]

Nah 1300 is puberty, 2000 is adult

[last badger]

But like, I think I seen more 800 elos who believe they can become grandmaster someday compared to actual International Masters

[latent crystal]

Fr xd

[latent crystal]

That's because they have more potential

[last badger]

No its cuz Dunning Kruger effect

[latent crystal]

If you spend your whole life trying just to realise you can't make it then that's kind of a dead end

If your new, you could accomplish anything

[latent crystal]

Wut?

[reef canyon]

rip to everyone else who gets stuck in childhood forever

[mint adder]

in simpler terms, shit people think they're gods while gods think they're shit

[reef canyon]

doesnt apply to chess, name a gm who thinks they're dogwater

[mint adder]

David Navara

[reef canyon]

everyone thinks they're gods here

[latent crystal]

Ohhh

[last badger]

Dunning Kruger effect is when someone who is a begginer at something overestimates their abilities. Because they dont understand yet how hard their goals are. Like if I started boxing today and I convinced myself I can be the next Mike Tyson, but I reality, im just not smart enough yet to know how hard boxing can be

[reef canyon]

being humble doesnt equate to thinking they're sh1te

[mint adder]

tbf yeah

[latent crystal]

Lol yeah but you still "could" be good enough

So potentially

And if you underestimate yourself, then U might not have the motivation to keep trying

[mint adder]

greatest thread in the history of chess

[last badger]

I wonder where he went 😭

[latent crystal]

Lmao

[versed jasper]

Litrally every of my school friend

[latent crystal]

I don't think people understand how hard getting to 2500+ is

[cloud steeple]

Should take like a week

[latent crystal]

Like at that point you should be nonstop studying, and you gave no social life or anything

[reef canyon]

well they never stated their age, i believe botvinnik started learning chess seriously at the age of 12 but even then this is mad

[last badger]

There's another funny thread, this thread where some 900 elo made a thread to complain about his chess club, and he was accusing ppl of cheating with a "device in their shoe"

[latent crystal]

Yep def

[mint adder]

he went from 300 to 600 this week, that's an improvement of 300 elo per week, give him two months he'll reach 3k

[latent crystal]

I wonder how good Wallace from Wallace and Gromit would be at chess

[mint adder]

I saw that yeah

[latent crystal]

Actually trick question he'd probably make a robot to play it for him lmao

[mint adder]

man I'm learning chess seriously at the age of 15 i'm so cooked

I started chess at 12 not learning chess seriously at 12

[latent crystal]

I'm 17 😂

[reef canyon]

i feel so unc rn

[latent crystal]

Yeah we all played as a child Probably

[mint adder]

dw guys rubenstein learnt chess at 14

[latent crystal]

My brain was too dumb a few years ago

[mint adder]

which means if you're 14 or younger you were better than a literal grandmaster at your age

[last badger]

The second wildest thread in this server

[topaz mica]

When I blunder but they premoved thinking I'd push my g pawn

[reef canyon]

Akiba is such a cool name why dont more people name their kids like this

[latent crystal]

Also y'all talking about 12 year Olds when there's a 3 year-old rated 2000 and a 10 yearold who beat hikaru 😭

And now a 19 year-old who beat Magnus 😂

[reef canyon]

3 year old rated 2000 pardon me???

[latent crystal]

Yep

Or like around that 1900 or sum

[mint adder]

japanese name to a polish man

[reef canyon]

not FIDE i suppose

[topaz mica]

[latent crystal]

It was a fide

I think

It was a real life game

[reef canyon]

[last badger]

I was like 7 years old when I learned how to move the chess pieces, but I had no idea at the time chess was actually competitive and shii. (Grandmaster titles, rating system, tournaments, everything).

I literally thought as a kid chess was just some other random table game like Jenga/Uno/Connect 4

[latent crystal]

Same 😂

[topaz mica]

When they don't know how to counter queens gambit

[last badger]

Why blunder reaction 💀

[latent crystal]

I'd always be moving out my a or h pawns 2 spaces and getting rooks out immediately

[last badger]

I had no internet access as a kid too

[south token]

didn't know the pieces moved till 18

[latent crystal]

How are they 1300 😭

[reef canyon]

[topaz mica]

That's the main line but he resigned

[latent crystal]

Nicee

[primal umbra]

im like 1100 rn and i dont even know any openings lmao

[mint adder]

[honest copper]

[primal umbra]

[latent crystal]

Fr

[nimble arch]

[latent crystal]

Love how he just has his orange juice and gets bored and goes to other tables 😂

[serene umbra]

wasnt this the guy who went crazy cause he had over 10000 hours of chess

in just training

[latent crystal]

No your probably thinking of bobby fischer

He's the one who came up with chess 960 and increments (like when you get time back after each move) (bobby Fischer not Kasparov just wanna be clear fr)

[nimble arch]

wait wdym he came up with increment

[latent crystal]

Wut

It was his idea

[serene umbra]

your telling me he is teh reason magnus always shows up late to games cause he showed up late to face magnus

[latent crystal]

Maybe 😂

[nimble arch]

ne ver knew that

[latent crystal]

Neither did I

Untill a few days ago lmao

He also said some uh

Questionable things

Which I don't wanna say since I risk getting banned lol

But ye there's a reason he doesn't have a chess bot on chess.com fr

[nimble arch]

if ur talking about the sexist statments he did in a way recind them

[latent crystal]

Nah

He didn't believe in the hollow crust

And didn't like jewels

Frfr

And bro had a warrant for his arrest in the US 😭

After his game in 1992 I think

[nimble arch]

well ofc he did flee to poland

[sand fiber]

QUADRUPLE FORK

[nimble arch]

sorry iceland

[serene umbra]

bro i started laughing my ass off when magnus mid game just watches others play

[nimble arch]

Bxe3

[latent crystal]

Yeah 😂

[sand fiber]

yeah guys 😄

[latent crystal]

Lol

[sand fiber]

i can still recapture

[serene umbra]

[latent crystal]

FR??

[sharp forum]

@strong thistle just curious, what’s your stats since games were about 50:50

[strong thistle]

Not the best, but can hold my ground

[latent crystal]

Nice nice

Keep going to 1100!

[strong thistle]
