[hard aurora]

[orchid sedge]

[carmine lance]

Why is the london such a common theme in these unrated tournament games

[stone jewel]

Ok no problem

[pallid ice]

u can play queens gambit

[orchid sedge]

[severe crystal]

why is that a person plays bad in OTB comparatively to online

[small jungle]

Nc6

[hard aurora]

☠️

[loud dome]

Goated opening

[main lynx]

alien gambit

[pallid ice]

cuz its very easy to play and quite strong, also beginners dont know 1. d4 exists

[paper zenith]

against sicilian? omg sounds goated

[hard aurora]

Anyone for rapid?

[azure plank]

I like e4 move after the opponent tries to play alapin

[pallid ice]

they cant play the sicilian if u dont play e4 first move

[stone jewel]

I can’t find an opponent for ultrabullet so sure

[hallow trail]

bc different board

boom

there is too many things adding up to this

[loud dome]

QG requires 1.d4 d5 2.c4

[paper zenith]

uhh advanced variation (i think thats what they call it)

[small jungle]

Nf6 ye

[spring tundra]

theres no way

[paper zenith]

wdym

[iron bison]

Playing with mouse is more satisfying ngl

[pallid ice]

send voice message

[orchid sedge]

ye but he said nf3 so i just played along with it

[hallow trail]

i dont like when someone asks me for advice and expects me to write a whole paragraph explaining something

[orchid sedge]

after nf6 i feel like the positions are so dry

[hallow trail]

so i only do on vc

[spring tundra]

you could go to #1039982616159465595 channel for that question

[midnight moth]

real im 300 elo

[hallow trail]

voice message crazy

[paper zenith]

just send a yt tutorial 😭

[hallow trail]

[paper zenith]

[still spade]

[spring tundra]

[pallid ice]

come on bro they have a tournament tmr just do it

[midnight moth]

[paper zenith]

huh but the there arent any noobs in the tourney tho

[pallid ice]

(it wont matter anyway)

[hallow trail]

but i don't understand how that will work

[still spade]

i know a bit of kings indian and a bit of spanish opening

[paper zenith]

fr

[pallid ice]

1200-1300 is kinda noob

[gritty aspen]

If both chess players play the best possible moves, is the game guaranteed to end in a draw?

[pallid ice]

voice message?

[carmine lance]

Ah, so like e4 c5 c3 nf6 e5 nd5 d4 cxd4?

[next shore]

Alright! I posted it there

[hallow trail]

yep like if i say e4, c5 etc... and talk like this about ideas what is this way of teaching

[spring tundra]

you can play the Dutch defence the Leningrad system

[pallid ice]

yea ig u would have to do a call or something with screen share or u could just record a video

[carmine lance]

Isn't d5 playable against the alapin?

[main lynx]

Caro Khan as white lmao

[hallow trail]

yes that is what i want and problem with video is there is no questions or anything

[paper zenith]

there has to be a name for it, i dont think there's one variation without an official name 😭

[hallow trail]

some interaction is needed when teaching chess

[orchid sedge]

ye

[pallid ice]

u can answer in text after

[carmine lance]

It feels more like a sicilian then all of the sudden Alekhines

[orchid sedge]

its one of the two main lines

[spring tundra]

It is called Saragossa opening

[pulsar stump]

Need players for club match on chess.com

[hallow trail]

why do this for hours long when it can take 5-10 mins?

[clear ether]

hi im new

[hallow trail]

ill see with lichess

[pallid ice]

then just do a call

[midnight moth]

hey new

[carmine lance]

I remember seeing it I just didn't know if it was theory or not

[paper zenith]

kk

[hallow trail]

that is what i want

nope it has none

[main lynx]

Sagrossa opening Reverse Sicilian?(im guesing)

[hallow trail]

it instantly dissappears the name telling

[mighty gorge]

rip

[paper zenith]

no thanks i dont wanna play the cow opening

[pallid ice]

whats the main line of ur variation then?

[azure plank]

hi new bro

[hallow trail]

man i dont know this is my own opening i didnt watch it of anyone or anything i was annoyed at sicilian players so i sat for some mins/hours figuring out good moves and a system to play against it

[clear ether]

im new hi

[mighty gorge]

nice

[pallid ice]

just say the line dawg

[paper zenith]

ok whats the idea

[azure plank]

okie welcome new bro

[spring tundra]

nah that opening is uncommon but why ya think that opening has the Reverse Sicilian variant??

[pallid ice]

or the main idea

[hallow trail]

ever heard of grand prix?

[main lynx]

rematch😈

[paper zenith]

(bro doesnt have any)

[mighty gorge]

ah grand prix nice

[clear ether]

shut up cm

[pallid ice]

yea isnt that when u attack with f4 in the sicilian?

[hallow trail]

crazy thing to say when someone wants to help you

[main lynx]

ur the goat

[clear ether]

true

[hallow trail]

Yep exactly i got it exactly from there

[main lynx]

All GMs fear u

[paper zenith]

i mean its prolly about 10 moves in the notations 😭

[mighty gorge]

fr

[hallow trail]

so nc3 is never being played but c3

[pallid ice]

so then whats the line, or the main idea?

[carmine lance]

In the reverse sicilian (in the explorer) I seen this move after c4 e5 nc3 there's bb4, never seen that before, it's called Kramnik-Shirov counter attack

[hallow trail]

c3, d3, e4, f4 good pawn structure

[clear ether]

true even nms

[pallid ice]

but where does ur knight and bishop go (b1 and c1)

[azure plank]

lmao

[main lynx]

magnus mentioned u innhis recent interview

[paper zenith]

and this gets a 100% win rate? 😭

[hallow trail]

knight can go to d2 but what i like to play is Na3 going for c4 or c2

[pallid ice]

not in this order obviously

[mighty gorge]

110

[main lynx]

hes super gm bro he has record of solving the hardest puzzles ever

[hallow trail]

i am not spamming this in the order i am just telling some of the moves without blacks response

[clear ether]

wait really?

[paper zenith]

oh

[azure plank]

lol I see

[clear ether]

in my interview i called magnus a noob

[pallid ice]

oh i see and bishop?

[azure plank]

thats amazing

[main lynx]

even i couldnt believe it bro

[hallow trail]

Bishop stays often on c1 or go to e3 because the idea is to attack the king and the bishop is surprisngly strong on c1 already

[clear ether]

guys anish giri is the new goat of chess?

[main lynx]

im honored to be defeated by a genius like you

[carmine lance]

I'll call it the b o w l

[pallid ice]

what if black just takes ur knight on a3 with his bishop?

[hallow trail]

Sicilian is c5 so that blocks this diagonal

[clear ether]

[orchid sedge]

oh ye i play that with black

[pallid ice]

oh yea, i aint good in mental chess

[hallow trail]

me too me too but some of it is important

[heady grove]

Why is my alt higher than my main?

[main lynx]

Hikaru said you are the most creative chess player of all time as he bowed and cried from the aura he felt

[brazen galleon]

Both are very low

[carmine lance]

I'll look into it because I play against my friend and he plays the English, so imma shock him with that move

[clear ether]

https://tenor.com/view/of-course-anchorman-ben-stiller-nodding-gif-4470090

[hallow trail]

if you just practice visulization, tactics and calculating you can like already get a title which is crazy

[azure plank]

lol who knows

[heady grove]

yep 🙂

[hallow trail]

so im practicing my visulization rn

[clear ether]

true and just stop blundering

[pallid ice]

ok ill check if its good or not, do u have any specific move order?

[gritty aspen]

what? why u ask me

[brazen galleon]

[hallow trail]

Yes but its difficult if black knows what to do

[heady grove]

My @ is removing for some reaason

[main lynx]

i hear u stopped playing titled tueday because u got tired of farming money from Chess.com

[mighty gorge]

wdym get a title

[hallow trail]

It instantly goes from good attacking chances to drawish if black is a very good player and finds the correct moves just out of the opening

[paper zenith]

okay @hallow trail and @pallid ice and the others thx for all ur help but i gtg cya everyone

[hallow trail]

like getting 2200 fide

[carmine lance]

There's people on tiktok misinforming people saying this was a brilliant move? Why is this? Are people restarted?

[azure plank]

lmao bro, are u both trolling each other lol?

[pallid ice]

is that cm?

[hallow trail]

or 2000 FIDE for women but there you don't need anything just learn the basics of chess

[hallow trail]

yes

[crude thistle]

hi everyone im new to chess do you know any good opening that i can learn fast

[pallid ice]

cm is kinda ass tho

[main lynx]

best move is to resign

[hallow trail]

Why

[brazen galleon]

Nobody needs ClownMaster

[pallid ice]

cuz the word candidate makes it sound like u r just a noob

[paper bone]

guys

[hallow trail]

I see a lot of people hate the title CM

[azure plank]

try italian as white if you're a beginner

[main lynx]

[mighty gorge]

ahh yeah

[paper bone]

[carmine lance]

Yeah, because of Rf7, nxe5 Qxe5, Bc4(!)

[azure plank]

[hallow trail]

Italian is not a beginner only opening

[azure plank]

[azure plank]

[paper bone]

ive finnaly remembered a old chess.com account, but its elo in rapid is 197. and these days my rapid elo is 1700. and i am afraid of loosing my own account

[azure plank]

I mean its easy for them

[main lynx]

thats what he said on stream

[pallid ice]

sodium attack for white and brussels gambit for black, if they play 1. d4 play budapest gambit 🙂

[paper bone]

what can i do? contact support?

[hallow trail]

Also i want to learn sicilian so i will have to suffer for some months

[carmine lance]

Sodium attack? Can you put a brother on game really quick?

[sage swan]

How i played after watching @radiant swan stream and learning

My highest rated win ever

[azure plank]

haha leave him bro

[pallid ice]

sodium attack is Na3 and u win with aura advantage

[radiant swan]

whatd i do bro

[hybrid pewter]

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

[main lynx]

he loves it bro he says he loves when people talk about him

[radiant swan]

didnt teach u anything

other than im good at swindling

[sage swan]

I just watched your stream in chess and learned a lot from your playing

[carmine lance]

In the sicilian? Or just 1. Na3?

[azure plank]

lol I see

[radiant swan]

@ancient grail what were those games 💀

[hallow trail]

You get good by just watching people play?? lucky

[paper bone]

ive finnaly remembered a old chess.com account, but its elo in rapid is 197. and these days my rapid elo is 1700. and i am afraid of loosing my own account. what i do? contact support?

[pallid ice]

just 1. Na3

[carmine lance]

Yeah that's aura

[sage swan]

I learn from their Play

[hallow trail]

youll become a GM one day without any effort young man

[ancient grail]

I'm disappointed in myself for not being able to convert those 2 games

[pallid ice]

ikr? and u can play english or sum and put the knight on c2

[somber kindle]

Does it ignore a threat, to threaten checkmate or something greater?!

[sage swan]

But I'm still at 700 elo

[hallow trail]

Every GM was 700 once

[somber kindle]

Not Magnus

[sage swan]

I don't think I can be a GM

[hallow trail]

Yes magnus was 700 elo

[hallow trail]

With this mindset i hope you dont become GM either

[gritty aspen]

i never touch <1000 rating

[main lynx]

nah bro gms start at 2000 elo istg

[somber kindle]

Magnus used to learn from his dad

[hallow trail]

I don't know if you are serious but your elo tells me you are

[kindred crypt]

hello everyone

[pallid ice]

otb they start from 1000 no?

[sage swan]

I only get to review my game once a day and i think this play was my best play today

[hallow trail]

But when he started out with chess just learnt rules do you really think he was 700+ already?

[still spade]

hello

[sage swan]

I don't wanna be a GM i just want to play with friends

[main lynx]

u did not need to violate me bro😭

[carmine lance]

It's just literally the best move, there's no sacrifice

[kindred crypt]

hru

[gritty aspen]

i will get 1.8k rating on blitz this month

[somber kindle]

When I started out I couldn’t comprehend a bishop and queen battery but now I’m making double zwischenzugs

[hallow trail]

Alright alright

[radiant swan]

gng i never streamed anything

[mint adder]

skibidi

[idle plume]

fking hate chess

[radiant swan]

i think ur remembering the wrong guy

[balmy python]

never seen someone get 0% accuracy before 😭

[hallow trail]

what is double zwischenzugs

[sage swan]

We're friends in chess.com and i watched from there

[radiant swan]

please tell me you didn't watch the 3 rapid games

[hallow trail]

so you mean sacrificing

[sage swan]

I did

[sage swan]

You were even Playing chatgpt

[radiant swan]

BRO the first game was trash forget that one

[main lynx]

play the Zukertort i used to play it all the time at ur level its so simple and has billion variations that guarantee a win with correct technique

[inland abyss]

imagine lower rapid than greenflower

[sage swan]

But it helped me a lot tho......

[radiant swan]

i managed to win this position are you proud

[somber kindle]

No I mean zwischenzug since the expected move was to take his queen but I found two moves which keeps the king in check before I take the queen

[inland abyss]

nope it was unrated

no one cares about unrated games in 2025

[radiant swan]

😔

[hallow trail]

alright alrright

[mint adder]

nya ichi ni san nya

[radiant swan]

im higher rated than greenflower in bullet tho

[somber kindle]

@hallow trail and you know it’s a good brilliant move when the best move is to accept the sacrifice

[main lynx]

bro thought he was Hikaru😭

[hallow trail]

I don't know

[mint adder]

how tf

[sage swan]

Idk.....but you're the first 2000 rated Player I've made friends with so it was good to watch your Play and learn from it

[carmine lance]

Lol look at the main engine recommended line so far 😭

[copper root]

I’m gonna study the London system. Phuck the caro kann

[radiant swan]

FORGET THAT GAME 😭😭😭😭
it was horrendous

[hallow trail]

studying the london system is such a lie

[radiant swan]

do not ever play the london

[sage swan]

Ehhh....???????

[copper root]

Oh I’m gonna play the London

[sage swan]

London's the only opening ik and that's all I play

[carmine lance]

Meh, casuals.

[pallid ice]

interesting

[radiant swan]

it was a bad game bro forget about that one

[copper root]

In fact some of my best games are with the London

[radiant swan]

second game bro hung a queen

third game i swindled

[copper root]

Happens

[sage swan]

C'mon it's fine you're gonna be my motivation bwhahahahahah

[hallow trail]

whats your title

[main lynx]

most of my best games are in paris

[radiant swan]

blunder master

[copper root]

Is there a Paris opening?

[sage swan]

I watched till chatgpt play and then went to play

[pallid ice]

the london is so bad i swear, i would rather quit chess thn premove the london every game

[radiant swan]

swindle master 💀

[carmine lance]

It's very interesting though, it says it's a mistake but it's quite hard for your opponent to not make an inaccuracy or mistake

[main lynx]

The French Opening?

[azure plank]

ig so

[radiant swan]

englund players when london premovers:

[copper root]

French too passive

[main lynx]

Frwnch Opening or French defense

[next shore]

EPIC MORIARTY PFP

[copper root]

I think they’re the same

[hallow trail]

englund is annoying opening

[pallid ice]

bad meets worse ahh situation

[radiant swan]

its garbage

[hallow trail]

queens gambit too its so boring

[main lynx]

the whole point of french is to dominate the centre bro wdym?

[hallow trail]

scandanavian also this queen is very annoying

[nimble arch]

Yeah bro i hate playing the englund

[pallid ice]

play the e5 counter gambit line

[nimble arch]

Like why the heck did i premove e5

[copper root]

I just suck with the French so I trash it

[azure plank]

yeah thanks!

[copper root]

My average London system game

[serene umbra]

i made another brilant move with the london

[nimble arch]

Fight for the center but black doesnt control it, in fact, black has the space problem

[pallid ice]

french is cowardly hiding behind pawn just play bongcloud

[main lynx]

i likw when they go advanced french,winawar is too open

[hallow trail]

french is easy

[pallid ice]

bro idk i feel like i cant breath irl when i see positions like that

[copper root]

I try to do other openings with black. I’m just only decent with the London

[hallow trail]

i do french exchange variation and i send draw offer 90% they accept same with caro kann

[copper root]

So I figure I improve on that before trying something else

[regal osprey]

everytime time I go to play chess the first person always aborts. Is this a glitch

[carmine lance]

It's not that it's passive, it's about long term pressure and nobody is gonna appreciate that really until like 1500s or so

[sage swan]

I can't wait to make my first brilliant move
I wonder When will I be able to......

[carmine lance]

And even then it's pretty dull

[pallid ice]

try sodium attack and brussels gambit, u will ascend to chad status with that repertoar

[azure plank]

try scotch gambit

[copper root]

My first was a knight sacrifice

[hallow trail]

no dont

[sage swan]

Ohh okay thanks 👍

[main lynx]

draw with black,never thpught u were a coward😤

[azure plank]

I got many brilliants with that opening

[sage swan]

Ehh?

[azure plank]

huh? why?

[hallow trail]

those openings are annoying asf

[pallid ice]

to caro i just cry and play the mikhail tal variation hoping they lose a bishop

[hallow trail]

getting first brilliant by a gambit is the most boring thing ever

[carmine lance]

So by this logic do you also dislike the slav?

[sage swan]

Why do you guys type so fast it's hard to keep up with every single one 😭🙏

[hallow trail]

the first brilliant you do must be saved forever and it has to be remembered that this is the day you got the honour to get the first brilliant

[pallid ice]

this is literally a slow chat

[hallow trail]

you can not just get it through a dumb gambit

[main lynx]

only draw im taking is repeating moves or stalemate,insufficient material in bullet is usefull ngl

[sage swan]

Tf?

[hallow trail]

slav is ok i just play e4, f3, g4 and i mostly win

[pallid ice]

what? chess.com gives brilliant for the stupidest moves nowadays

[steep cargo]

Hello.

[sage swan]

Wow a youtuber?

[hallow trail]

Alright.

[copper root]

This was my first brilliant

[gritty aspen]

fake

[steep cargo]

Yes, but not active. 😅

[carmine lance]

No, it's possible.

[steep cargo]

Lame. I have hundreds.

[main lynx]

bye bye rook

[gritty aspen]

really? how

[sage swan]

I've done something similar too once

[hallow trail]

lowest rated FM ive ever seen

[azure plank]

yea I mean I got so many brilliants with scotch opening

[carmine lance]

Horrible mistakes

[steep cargo]

Because I'm an atomic FM.

[sage swan]

This guy must be a pro wtf

[pallid ice]

what

[azure plank]

lol yea true indeed

[hallow trail]

None of them is deserved

[main lynx]

oh thats mate lmao

[steep cargo]

You know the variant called atomic?

[spring tundra]

wow but I wanna know what the knight captured

[hallow trail]

That's when I gave up chess and I've recently started again

[hallow trail]

alright

[potent gulch]

I saw the furry, you should call me Apro the chess furry instead, my pronouns are, check/mate

[carmine lance]

It's natural to be curious, but whenever you ask those questions it's best to approach it with respect

[radiant swan]

@Sewer Mod inappropriate pls ban :((

[spring tundra]

in the chess tournament organized in high school my country ya must wait about 45 mins to have a 5 mins chess clock when playing chess

[steep cargo]

||Simple: Don't.||

Nooo, don't say that, I'll have to beat you up!!! Don't treat begginers like this 😡🗡️

[radiant swan]

@young swan

[spring tundra]

have he bullied ya???

why ya harassing him

[potent gulch]

Learn how the pieces move first, there are plenty of YouTube videos you can watch, then, after you learn it, try learning the rules, like: castle, en passant rule, draw, checkmate etc 🙂

[copper root]

Who is your favorite chess gm and why is it Hikaru

[carmine lance]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-james-awesome-edit-swag-epic-gif-6204407470946403184

He said to them to not play chess, that's an insult!!!! Can't tolerate harassment against begginers 😡

[kindred crypt]

Thank God I quit once I reached 2000 elo

[pallid ice]

it is NOT hikaru

[spring tundra]

its actually a joke

[main lynx]

@carmine lance what does black play here in the main line i forgot my theory already

[potent gulch]

I'll checkmate you if you keep saying that 🗡️

https://tenor.com/view/hikaru-hikaru-naka-hands-oh-yes-baby-rubbing-hands-gif-25390470

[eager coyote]

what is castle

[carmine lance]

Black takes the pawn on e4 with the knight, then you play Qe2, pinning the knight, then Black plays f5

[hallow trail]

Hello

[carmine lance]

it's really good against greedy kiddos

[vernal perch]

WAYWYARD IS THE WORST OPENING PROVE ME 'WRONG

[kindred crypt]

Man united will win

Most wins in history

[main lynx]

haxo gambit clear though with 72% win rate

[carmine lance]

I fell right into haxo gambit ngl so this is facts

[hallow trail]

haxo is maybe the worst opening in existence

[pallid ice]

whats that?

[modern venture]

guys can i 1v1 anyone of u

im just new to chess but i want to see how much i got improved if that doesnt bother anyone

[pulsar stump]

$50 if you beat me in a game of 3/2

[tacit talon]

Ill 1v1

[potent gulch]

Castle is a chess rule, don't need to learn it rn, learn it after learning how the pieces move and capture because it's easier to understand

[modern venture]

bro i play rapid all day 😭

[main lynx]

no way u accepted the poison on c3😭

[carmine lance]

Hikaru disproved this by playing it up until he was 2000 rated otb

[modern venture]

alright ur user?

[eager coyote]

DEUTSCHEWERTUNGSZAHL

[pallid ice]

oh

[potent gulch]

Oh 😭

[hallow trail]

and i have only played 2 DWZ tournamnets so even there i don't have a real rating

[small jungle]

there are lots of tournaments in germany no

fide ones I meant

[spring tundra]

I just prove that yare dreaming

[hallow trail]

yes many tournaments good thing is i dont have to travel in order to get a title

[spring tundra]

yayayaya

[potent gulch]

Über alleins!!

[pallid ice]

how does fide work? do u start from 1000 or placement matches?

[carmine lance]

ngl playing higher rated players is so fun because I love seeing the creativity

[mighty lotus]

I have a rating of 1400

[hallow trail]

idk FIDE myself

[potent gulch]

Nahhhh, i'd win

[main lynx]

have u ever played Vincent Keimer?

[spring tundra]

you must register there to know

[small jungle]

I'm quite lucky too pretty close to germany and in the capital so theres lots of tournaments

[hallow trail]

No i have only played some unknown 3100 GM's

[small jungle]

might go to one this summer

[clear ether]

who has the most aura over here?

[spring tundra]

ya must beat me

im the big boss here

[potent gulch]

I'm already beating you and you didn't even noticed

[hallow trail]

whats ur fide?

[eager coyote]

where do u check for tournaments

[small jungle]

dont have fide id yet

[main lynx]

lmao

[eager coyote]

which side

[spring tundra]

no youre just dreaming that yourself beat me

in fact youre just a kid

[potent gulch]

No! You're dreaming that I'm dreaming about beating you

[pallid ice]

how relevant is cc elo to fide elo?

[small jungle]

but theres a classical tournament like 20 mins away from me in like two weeks so I might join it

[hallow trail]

https://chessprime.com/tournaments/countries/ger/

you can do this one

[main lynx]

No one will never know

[kindred crypt]

Whats a FIDE

[spring tundra]

man how ya prove that im dreaming??

[pallid ice]

bruh

[spring tundra]

huh prove it

[hallow trail]

not even 10%

[kindred crypt]

Im new to chess

[small jungle]

it doesnt really transfer

[potent gulch]

A chess federation

[kindred crypt]

Oh

[modest fern]

fide in short stands for fidelity which means being forever loyal to chess and not marrying any other human being in life

[spring tundra]

go surf the internet

[kindred crypt]

Thanks

[hallow trail]

Like if its tactical the most it doesnt matter but i am on my rating because of my positional understanding so there is transfers more

[small jungle]

like of course if youre 2500 on cc you wont be 1400 fide

[eager coyote]

ty are there more tournament shown then on the dsb website?

[hallow trail]

but with tactical and different board vision etc it doesnt matter ur cc rating

[kindred crypt]

👽

[hallow trail]

most likely yes

[main lynx]

Federation Internationale De something idk what chess is in french

[small jungle]

ahh a fellow positional chess enthusiast

[hallow trail]

yes

[potent gulch]

Profissional people usually plays on fide instead of other federations, tho it depends on the nation, but ye, fide is the famous one

[kindred crypt]

Seriously hate it when someone says that.

[hallow trail]

i most likely did not even do 1k puzzles in my whole life so far

[pallid ice]

are there separeta fide elos for different time controls?

like rapid and classical?

[potent gulch]

Some ye

[modest fern]

that's rookie numbers i think i have done over 10k at this point

[small jungle]

I've been studying positional chess quite a lot lately dont rlly do puzzles anymore

[potent gulch]

Yes

[kindred crypt]

Thanks i understand now

[hallow trail]

very nice i love positional chess

[spring tundra]

then disconnect the router

[hallow trail]

it looks beautiful it makes sense is just good

[potent gulch]

Np, happy I helped you 🙂

[small jungle]

fr I enjoy it more than puzzles

[pallid ice]

what? i think ive done like 2k puzzles over all chess sites and irl

[hallow trail]

i don't like those 12 year old CM's with a 3000 elo on chess.com blitz and all they can do is tactics nothing else

[kindred crypt]

🫂🫶🏿

[hallow trail]

positional chess is so good i want to marry it

[small jungle]

I'm watching techniques of positional play by peter heine

[potent gulch]

:D.

[modest fern]

i just watch gotham chess guess the elo

[spring tundra]

0

[pallid ice]

positional chess is hard im just gonna stick to tactics

[main lynx]

somones been watching too many Dubov😤

[hallow trail]

300

[hallow trail]

i heard that name but idk dubov

[modest fern]

are you guessing my elo to be 300

well i guess yours to be 99

[hallow trail]

its very easy but thats probably me like i have more fun studying chess then playing it

[pallid ice]

isnt dubov good in blitz but kinda washed in classical

[spring tundra]

ya must send yar profile here so I can guess

[hallow trail]

Ill take that im unique

[modest fern]

if i send the profile then you just see my rating

[copper root]

Classical chess best chess

[spring tundra]

your chesscom profile clearly isnt your original elo

[hallow trail]

idk what gotham chess did but he managed to become popular by being a chess coach giving 0% useful information

[modest fern]

he never tried to be a chess coach

[main lynx]

Positional God of chess

[hallow trail]

i only know like karpov

[pallid ice]

idk i just never remember to think abt structures and week/strong squares, i just decide on a grand attacking plan and i carry that out

[hallow trail]

ill look at his games thanks

[modest fern]

he is entertainer.. he entertains people and pulls people into the game

[small jungle]

magnus is also good at positional chess

[tacit talon]

anyone want to 1v1?

[hallow trail]

youll have to later on with higher rating

[hallow trail]

magnus is good at everything

[modest fern]

yeah sure what' syour rating?

[small jungle]

true

[tacit talon]

900 in rapid, whats your user?

[pallid ice]

i mean maybe i already do with my subconcious intuition

[spring tundra]

wait I just see that he fights with 11 years old kids then accept that kid draw

[modest fern]

he still finds knight moves confusing

[hallow trail]

getting a title just by practicing everything being good at everything is also a way to go idk if its good tho

[small jungle]

I've been watching some karpov course where he goes over his games and explains the positional themes.

[hallow trail]

where and how and when do you tell me i need to know it now please

[pallid ice]

bro i am NOT getting a title, even if i become really good on cc i prop wont grind it out otb

[modest fern]

as another chat member guessed, i might be 300 rated

[hallow trail]

i dont understand why yall dont want a title

[pallid ice]

cuz it takes a lot of time

[small jungle]

this one

[hallow trail]

it does not if you do it correctly

[main lynx]

tactics and solid defense skill can get you far in chess not positional

[bitter niche]

[pallid ice]

wdym? u gain like 10 for each win

and u cant play all the time either

[hallow trail]

well yes tactics and good calculation can get you to like FM alone

[hallow trail]

nope

[tacit talon]

anyone 1v1 3mins?

[small jungle]

you have to be good at everything

[modest fern]

do you guys know this tomic stjepan guy

[small jungle]

you wont have tactics without positional chess and vice versa

[pallid ice]

no i dont thik so

[hallow trail]

i dont know the name of it but there is a tournament for seniors and if you win it you can just become a GM just with this tournament

[modest fern]

hanging pawns youtube channel

[small jungle]

why

[hallow trail]

very true

[pallid ice]

def not

[modest fern]

he is trying to become a grandmaster as an adult improver

[hallow trail]

playing good positional chess means more tactics

[small jungle]

you have to be versatile you cant just focus on one thing

[bitter niche]

Why chess.com aint giving me a brilliant for rook takes knight here

[pallid ice]

yes u need some intuition for good calculation but u can just calculate most of the time

[thin vessel]

No?

[patent patrol]

? You used to argue for the most positional stuff ever at elo 500

[hallow trail]

crazy that you all are smarter than FIDE but alright

[main lynx]

tactics on winning material through tricks nd checmating through tricks,defending ur king resourcefully

[modest fern]

i don't think so i think having good intuition is really important it's not really possible to calculate your way out of a position that you don't understand

[bitter niche]

Thats how nemo bought her wgm title!

[patent patrol]

You have to win like the Olympics maybe but yea

[small jungle]

how u gonna beat stronger players without positional chess

[main lynx]

i grew up😢

[patent patrol]

Normally u just have to perform well at high elo tournaments

If you train good enough and you are GM strength you join this one tournament you dont have low chances

[pallid ice]

ok but do u think u r on gm level?

[modest fern]

train to be GM level is no joke my guy

[small jungle]

[pallid ice]

just the opening theory alone takes insane amounts of time

[hallow trail]

Ofc not but this is not about me

[main lynx]

10 years aint that long ngl

[pallid ice]

[hallow trail]

[patent patrol]

Oh so just world championships lol

[limpid viper]

"FIDE" brother you showed an ai overview screenshot

ai overview is not fide 💀

[thin vessel]

It has literally never happened btw

[pallid ice]

it takes a long time to get to gm level not just to grind to that elo

[hallow trail]

guess where ai got it from

[patent patrol]

Ya but the grasp is what separates 1200s from the higher level ppl here disagreeing with you

[hallow trail]

ill give you 3 guesses but you need one i think

[limpid viper]

damn just searched it up and the ai is saying it's not true

[hallow trail]

well yes

[limpid viper]

you're onto nothing

[main lynx]

i solved chess bro ull js see me passing u soon without knowing how😞

[pallid ice]

[clear ether]

💩

[short summit]

People are closer to perfection than AI

[pallid ice]

ok ok gj

[serene umbra]

tyty

[somber kindle]

I like how Nemo teaches beginners to play E4 and E5 which I believe is better than levy saying the London system and caro kann

[bitter niche]

I like how nemo is a scammer and bought her title

Really inspiring stuff that she puts out!

[somber kindle]

Her bf was actually the scammer

[short summit]

I quit e4 e5 too much stress

[pallid ice]

whats wrong with the caro? also doesnt levy tell ppl to play the vienna instead of the london?

[limpid viper]

levy promotes alot of openings

[somber kindle]

It’s still technically the best first two moves possible

[serene umbra]

whats wrong with the london thats what i use

[empty forge]

lot of meme ones

[somber kindle]

E4 is best by test! -bobby James Fischer

[limpid viper]

nothing

[pallid ice]

its a clown opening

[short summit]

If super GMs would only play that I would approve but guess what

[bitter niche]

elo check

[empty forge]

queens gambit only good opening

[serene umbra]

how

[limpid viper]

most people who hate on the london just don't like playing against it

[bitter niche]

elo check

[bitter niche]

agreed, so much whining for no reason lmao

[small jungle]

just play ruy vro

[pallid ice]

im 1650 on cc tho i play on lichess more (dont kill me guys pls)

[bitter niche]

your opinion is invalid

[thin vessel]

London is a boring opening

[serene umbra]

lichess aint bad

[short summit]

I prefer english opening because most of the players don't even know what that is

[somber kindle]

It’s better to attack than to defend thats why a pure defensive position is technically a weaker position

[short summit]

English my goat

[small jungle]

London is the reason bobby fischer quit chess

[serene umbra]

iv won more games then lost with london

[solid dune]

They dont like how white gets away by playing same moves again and again

[bitter niche]

lmao youve clearly never played the london. its not a defensive position, and you can attack with it

[somber kindle]

Bobby Fischer

[short summit]

Chat watch remote chess academy's how to beat the london video

[pallid ice]

cuz u have more agressive choices but no u hide behind ur pieces

[patent patrol]

The London is crazy harmful if u allow it to be

[hallow trail]

Alright i read it officaly from FIDE now

[empty forge]

only bad thing about the queens gambit is that people sometimes know theory about it on 1300 onward, good thing is that ive gotten 1500s blundering the bishop to the queen check in early moves uwu

[somber kindle]

Yeah but you’re not making forcing moves like the ruy Lopez

[pallid ice]

yea idk i dont like some of his guides but a lot of them is good

[serene umbra]

But u can set up attacks and defend accordingly

[bitter niche]

my immortal otb game was like 20 moves in the london, two brilliants and 97% accuracy 😭

[steep cargo]

Won without losing a second on the clock. 🔥

[bitter niche]

youre 1000 elo, do your opponents play this "forced line"? the answer is no, and you still lose the game

[pallid ice]

but why wait till move 10 to attack

[patent patrol]

I used to play the colle/stonewall setups it’s more 3 brilliant games than boring defense

[ember forum]

someone remind me how to take pings off

[thin vessel]

Guy is a wannabe fm 😭

[bitter niche]

colle is a fun setup as well

[main lynx]

dont we all js play london cause of the special greek gift sacrice?😤

[short summit]

One person can't decide chess man. If engines play e4 e5 its 98% draw

[pallid ice]

ruy lopez is not forcing at all

[serene umbra]

to defend so its not worthless trades at the start

[hallow trail]

You have to play 5 games and then you can get the GM title wow

[short summit]

This one for example is Awesome

[pallid ice]

i really didnt like the kings gambit guide

[somber kindle]

Whatever D4 players like closed defensive positions which are boring to me and completely change the game

[pallid ice]

i mean counter kings gambit

[short summit]

Well i didn't watch that.. I'm a sicilian, and english opening player

[bitter niche]

???? 😭 theres tens of thousands of variations that come out of d4, surely you dont believe that the first move of the game dictates a closed defensive game

[small jungle]

1000s knows 30 moves of each ruy line vro

[somber kindle]

It’s more forcing and aggressive than the Italian or London

[pallid ice]

brussels gambit is goated

[warm ore]

Hello

[patent patrol]

Why not just attack against d4

[short summit]

Idek what that is lol

[bitter niche]

agreed, play the dutch if you want to have fun

[pallid ice]

ruy lopez is just not forcing at all u cannot say that it is more forcing than other openings

[bitter niche]

its not a bad weapon vs the london if you know the theory

[ember forum]

sup

[short summit]

Fun can end if people play Bg5 on move 2

[small jungle]

Just play grunfeld🐺

[patent patrol]

Benko is basically set up a position and then go attack

[warm ore]

Does anyone know any good content/books I can use to learn mid game strategies

[pallid ice]

its losing against stockfish but this is exactly its strength, u dont know what tf it is: 1.e4 c5 2. _ f5

[warm ore]

I seem to do alright on openings but my mid game is ass

[somber kindle]

Not exactly but it’s definitely on average more closed, more defensive, more boring, more positional. It just doesn’t match my play style and Bobby Fischer thought the same way

[short summit]

Interesting

[main lynx]

what opening do u play?

[patent patrol]

Lmao Bobby Fischer was playing modern main lines wtf r u talking ab

[bitter niche]

😭 do you think youre fischer?

[somber kindle]

If it’s better to attack than defend then common sense would say E4 is superior to D4

[warm ore]

queens gambit, london, caro kann and accelerated dragon and sometimes kings indian

[bitter niche]

😭 this is so sad, you really think the first move dictates whether you attack or defend lmao

[somber kindle]

No but Fischer was definitely right about a lot of things

[patent patrol]

Wb the Jewish stuff

[short summit]

I play this in rapid

[small jungle]

The difference between e4 and d4 is negligible for human play

[somber kindle]

It’s blocks in too many pieces in the opening

[pallid ice]

this is like brussels gambit with white

[small jungle]

Double whammy no?

[pallid ice]

aproved by me

[worldly scroll]

yo omg

[main lynx]

All of them have middlegames where u need to calculate alot except foe London system where the middlgame is as easy as pie

[short summit]

What

[worldly scroll]

an im frinedded me

[small jungle]

The variations name

[worldly scroll]

an international master frineded me!!!!
