[storm moth]

[spring lion]

Get back to 499 !!!

[radiant swan]

go back to <500 or secure ur spot

by winning one more

[storm moth]

one more aint enough

i need to get to atleast 530 elo

to secure my spot

i think ill play one more

[thin dragon]

@radiant swan Soo what do u think.. 😬

[radiant swan]

lemme see

[thin dragon]

Sure

[radiant swan]

i knew it

[floral anchor]

chess

[radiant swan]

chess is a scam white is +4.7 even before move 1

[tranquil basin]

GG im back

wat happened

[lilac prairie]

Wat i gotta do to get to cm

What's the next step

[tranquil basin]

elo? r u 2300

play me, ill lyk

[radiant swan]

not exactly a good game but u got the job done
ok if black declines the gambit with d6 dont take e5 play Nf3 and develop

anything else then u play fxe5

[compact aspen]

Reaching 2000 is so fricking tough

[tranquil basin]

if ur 2300, ur tactical skills r probably somewhat decent, so i would recommend focusing on some common middlegame ideas

[radiant swan]

chess motto for motivation if CountingBrilliants can get 2100 you can get GM title

[tranquil basin]

Pre IM level, in classical im saying this as a CM all we really do is execute already known ideas, what matters is how we execute them

like if u can start to be creative and make up ur own ideas, like figure out how to break an endgame fortress thats a whole diff level

[compact aspen]

How young do you gotta start

[inland oak]

@radiant swan you looking real professional at chess rn wanna play me? (Asking with Rizz Tone)

[radiant swan]

i could play u not in chess 👉 👈

[inland oak]

Fetus

[tranquil basin]

i started super late so ill probably never be close to the best

[jade shoal]

Anyone above 1000 elo down to play a chill 10 min games

[lilac prairie]

I started 9th grade

[inland oak]

Uhm Roblox?

[tranquil basin]

i started like 11 ish

[radiant swan]

when did u start

[tranquil basin]

rest of the people i knew was like kindergarten bro

[radiant swan]

smth else 😈

[thin dragon]

Oh okay

[inland oak]

What

[compact aspen]

I mean that's still very young

[radiant swan]

huh what nothing

[balmy python]

Brother i started at 20 💀 i am cooked

[tranquil basin]

my basic chess fundamentals are not as good as others in my age group

because they will always be better than me in lower time controls

[radiant swan]

i started 3 years later gng

[jade shoal]

Stop doubting urself you’d be better if ur more confident

[tranquil basin]

they had more time to play the actual game]

[tranquil basin]

yeah but im 15 rn

[jade shoal]

Ur mindset is everything

[tranquil basin]

made CM 3 years in, been kinda stuck since

[radiant swan]

im the same damn age as u 😔

ig im just bad

[compact aspen]

Gotta start at 3 now

[tranquil basin]

we have GMs at this age broooo

[jade shoal]

How much elo is cm?

[tranquil basin]

its different cus im tryna make it in big boy leagues

like we sorta play chess professionaly kinda thing

im all for hobby chess tho

that is fun, shit talking ur opponent in bullet

[tranquil basin]

uh 2200 fide

[radiant swan]

ig we aren't the same

[jade shoal]

@tranquil basin let’s play a match I wanna show u the art of brilliant moves

[tranquil basin]

hoping i make breakthrough this summer

[radiant swan]

i goof around and dont take chess seriously

i play b3 cuz its awesome

[tranquil basin]

i mean theres time to goof and theres time to lock in

like in tournaments ya gotta lock in

[kindred crypt]

someone to play with?

[jade shoal]

Only 300 away brotha

[radiant swan]

i goof around in tmts as well i get 6/9 for them anyways

[tranquil basin]

problem is that 300 gets harder

[storm moth]

the opponent resigned!!!! im at 513 now

[terse wagon]

Would you guys be able to convert white position into winning (black is me)

[tranquil basin]

2300-2400 kfactor is 20 which means maximum each game u earn 20

2400-2500 kfactor is 10 which means max is 10

typical max is 40 for kids sub 2300

[radiant swan]

this i didnt know

[storm moth]

as a 500 elo player i am very confident that i can get an accuracy below 30 in that game

[tranquil basin]

and once u hit those elos, those caps dont drop

[compact aspen]

Isn't some guy like 1500 at 3?

[tranquil basin]

so the 300 is more of a 700

[jade shoal]

Ohhh

[tranquil basin]

that doesnt count, if you plauy a tournament u basically automatically get a elo

[pale pollen]

I’m loosing all my bullets on time… I fell there is a second of delay with my wifi (I’m at cafe)

[radiant swan]

imagine becoming gm because u play chess as a hobby and accidentally got 2500 fide

[tranquil basin]

all u gotta do is win 1 game

[hallow silo]

https://tenor.com/view/azumanga-daioh-hello-everyone-hello-everynyan-oh-my-goh-gif-4097965043367168076

[jade shoal]

Dang I can tell ur super passionate abt jt goodluck with ur dream

[compact aspen]

Oh yeah

[storm moth]

so everything from a 300 to a 700 is just a blend? they are almost the same players?

[tranquil basin]

and fide raised the elo from 1000 to 1400

so now minimum is 1400

[somber lark]

This bro is a scaredy cat, he plays rated once in a blue moon 😭

[jade shoal]

@tranquil basin play me 1 game

[tranquil basin]

u mean 300 elo to 700 elo? yeah pretty much

[pale pollen]

My dad is 1625 FIDE

[reef canyon]

YOOOOOOO

[tranquil basin]

later dm me, eating now

[jade shoal]

K

[tranquil basin]

thx bro

[reef canyon]

[terse wagon]

[radiant swan]

[ancient fractal]

I'm not even 1k and he still plays me lol

[reef canyon]

nah im still too weak for u bro i need to give u a good game

[tranquil basin]

it is!!! you should be proud of it

[pale pollen]

Oh bro is a streamer

[tranquil basin]

means ur tactical vision improved

[somber lark]

[radiant swan]

https://chess.com/member/CountingBriIliants

[tranquil basin]

just something i started trying out recently cus i was stuck in hk for the summer

[reef canyon]

when i get to 2000

[terse wagon]

I wanna make u my cutie chessi pie ykwim gurl?

[tranquil basin]

no tournaments until like 2 weeks later

[storm moth]

altho rn theres a chance that if i loose 2 matches in a row ill be thrown right back into the <500 role range

[hallow silo]

Anybody wanna play rn?

[somber lark]

nah thank you

[tranquil basin]

at the sub 2000 elo range, what really matters most is tactical vision

[storm moth]

so im gonna play A BIT and try to get to atleast 530 so that my spot in 500-999 rating role is secured

[ancient fractal]

sure

[tranquil basin]

u gotta see those blunders

[storm moth]

hmmmmmmm

[bleak drift]

Oye

[tranquil basin]

cus bro ur opps are gonna blunder its unavoidable

[storm moth]

i just watched my opponent blunder the queen

when i offered a trade

[radiant swan]

i aint letting that happen my alt is 1684 blitz come challenge me there its easier to harvest elo from there cuz higher elo gain per win fr

[tranquil basin]

every game, someone will blunder something first 15 moves for sure

[hallow silo]

Dm

[tranquil basin]

so just focus on playing safe central and solid

[pale pollen]

Otb never

[storm moth]

aight..

[tranquil basin]

thats why london is a popular opening, i aint recommending it to higher levek players

[tranquil basin]

u would be surprised

[storm moth]

i play the london

[tranquil basin]

but at low elos, if ur opponents blunder something u gotta ssee it

[pale pollen]

*in the open section

[radiant swan]

my best win otb is a wfm

[hallow silo]

London is the best below 700 opening imo

[terse wagon]

LMAO

[tranquil basin]

ehhh not so sure, some huge tricky openings

[radiant swan]

bro she blundered everything cuz of my f file

[terse wagon]

Bro bro bro

[tranquil basin]

even i blunder all the time

thats why i gotta work on my tactics asw

[kindred crypt]

Guys what are u doing here? Lets play chess!

[pale pollen]

Can happen but not at EVERY game

[terse wagon]

I would've forked 4 grandmasters

[hallow silo]

Sure

[radiant swan]

u can go play we js wanna talk and chill fr

[bleak drift]

@tranquil basin check dms

[terse wagon]

Not mate a woman fide master

[compact aspen]

Nahh e4 is the best till 1000 you gotta develop your tactics

[tranquil basin]

ofc theres different levels of tactical vision, i aint asking u to be fischer, but just to see blunders

[kindred crypt]

Mhmh then whats your username?

[tranquil basin]

bro GMS blunder all the time

[hallow silo]

Dm

[tranquil basin]

whatchu talking abt, maybe not in first 15 moves but in the game

[pale pollen]

Why is there woman titles… bit confusing for everyone

[hallow silo]

You really gotta

[radiant swan]

heres a strat just lose to him in unrated games lower his playing strength against u and then he'll challenge u to rated and then farm

[reef canyon]

u gonna farm my goofy ahh

[kindred crypt]

U can write here lol

[radiant swan]

thats the point i cant be letting ur 1800 slide

[hallow silo]

Obviously women<men when its an overall

[hallow silo]

We can give links here?

[pale pollen]

In classical game I’ve never played against an GM but IM haven’t blundered against me

[somber lark]

our score is pretty close 😭
He is the one farming me

[kindred crypt]

Nahh no need, i'm gonna send you invite in game if you share your username

[reef canyon]

dont be scared im just 1600 FIDE

[radiant swan]

why isnt he making u play rated w him then

[radiant swan]

and im only 100 points higher

[somber lark]

I played rated with him before too

[radiant swan]

cant let u get 2000 blitz

[hallow silo]

Its my actual name so if u could send me ur user it'd be better

[reef canyon]

gonna push for another peak

[somber lark]

by a miracle I made a draw

[radiant swan]

gotta make sure u stay in the 1700 league

[tranquil basin]

uh no comment on that

[dawn otter]

ahh

[kindred crypt]

Unrated rapid?

[pale pollen]

Is this a reason to make woman titles? It’s mostly like admitting that mans are more intelligent… and that’s a bit incorrect

[hallow silo]

Sure

[radiant swan]

too good to beat

bro is gukesh 2.0 swindle master

[tranquil basin]

IM blundered against me all da time

[hallow silo]

It is the reason

[tranquil basin]

i beat an IM in like 22 moves once

[somber lark]

I simply ran into his prep

[tranquil basin]

he blundered on i think move 16 or smthng in french

[kindred crypt]

My name is Esarovski in game you can send me invite 🙂

[tranquil basin]

some stupid qa4 qxc2 winawer shit

just +1 out of opening, not so easy of course

[hallow silo]

Sending

[tranquil basin]

but of course no reason to blunder piece

[flint wharf]

mens brains infact do better strategically

[pale pollen]

You are like my friend that got lucky… he is totally loosing against NM but he win on time… btw on the same tournament he was losing against a guy but he blundered a piece…

I’m not lucky because they never blunder against me

[somber lark]

oh shit here we go again

[radiant swan]

or ur js not good enough to see the blunder

[tranquil basin]

bro i didnt get lucky the guy jst fcked up

-_-

[flint wharf]

men and women brains are different that doesnt mean one is worth less then the other they both play a part

[real sparrow]

@silent mantle gg

[tranquil basin]

imma dig up the game rq maybe its somewhere

[reef canyon]

[pale pollen]

[radiant swan]

[strange bobcat]

[reef canyon]

chess grind

[somber kindle]

You’re Canadian?

[pale pollen]

Oh yeah? Even 90+30 you flag them?

[silent mantle]

gg

[radiant swan]

no that's not me

[strange bobcat]

I dont play 90+30 bro lol + its also dif in classical so tf is your point

[pale pollen]

Well I’m talking about classical

[strange bobcat]

in blitz we tend to make more mistakes so its not hard to get into a losing position but in classical if you mess up a bit you are cooked but its harder to blunder tbh

[pale pollen]

That’s a me MARIO

[strange bobcat]

flagging in classical is diabolical bro

[tranquil basin]

found it

[pale pollen]

He blundered his opening 😂

[tranquil basin]

cata is painful bro

[strange bobcat]

bro Imma get banned for this stop baiting me lol

[tranquil basin]

for both sides

[pale pollen]

I play 1.Nf3

[radiant swan]

queens indian is the way

[tranquil basin]

many of the positions just feel unplayable for both

[strange bobcat]

king f3 is crazy 😭

[pallid ice]

Nah i like it with white but its just tremendous amount of theory

[tranquil basin]

when you play black you think i am 2 pawns up but i am getting fcked on long diagonal and my pieces are all taking a shit

[radiant swan]

bro switch to 1. b3 it has really good attacking prospects

[pale pollen]

My bad just was confused with king and knight lol

[somber lark]

Can you play Ba6 lines

[radiant swan]

wb white

[pale pollen]

I write moves in French that’s why

[tranquil basin]

when you play white you think, i am attacking the guy with everything, all the pieces in the toilet open bishop but i cannot mate the guy. and then i am 2 pawns down on queenside so the guy just gets 2 queens

[radiant swan]

No.

[tranquil basin]

just totally fcked, im talking about the dxc4 nc6 lines

[somber lark]

I get cooked by playing Bb7 😭

[tranquil basin]

all the other lines comfortable edge for white

[pale pollen]

Maybe for a surprise

[radiant swan]

i play Bb7

[pallid ice]

Yea i see

[radiant swan]

no Ba6 cuz its just a huge waste of time

[last badger]

This is all 1.Nf3 players

"Erm its the best move cuz it doesnt commit a pawn yet" 🥀🥀🥀🥀👆👆👆

[pale pollen]

Now I will go bye

[tranquil basin]

u just grab a pawna nd run

[real sparrow]

1v1?

[somber lark]

I was looking at that line rn

[strange bobcat]

1v1?

[pallid ice]

It is really good tho

[somber lark]

fr

[strange bobcat]

can me farm zigzag

[tranquil basin]

those are the main lines since black can play for a win in many of em

[radiant swan]

literally +1 fr

[tranquil basin]

im being fr, sometimes u grab 2 pawns

and then run like a criminal

[wicked peak]

Do puzzles determine my actual rating or nah?

[radiant swan]

bro 💀💀💀

[real sparrow]

i felt like i was playing bettwe than usual when i played catalan 💀

[tranquil basin]

no offense

[radiant swan]

jkao gonna be under fire from ts

[wicked peak]

Fr😭

[tranquil basin]

bro

[rancid herald]

🆗

[radiant swan]

doesnt look good for black

[tranquil basin]

they always win im telling u

[radiant swan]

black wastes time taking the c4 pawn

[tranquil basin]

intrusive thougths are da best bro

[radiant swan]

while white can castle and get all their pieces developed

[radiant swan]

true

[tranquil basin]

aint that the QID?

[fluid ridge]

wanna try D0m3 again?

[somber lark]

Yes

[tranquil basin]

thats sorta the point, thats why its called the queens indian

but u cant really punish it

since ur too slow to break center

[radiant swan]

i thought QID is Bb7 not Ba6

[tranquil basin]

bb7 is against nc3

[somber lark]

They have to defend it bro

[radiant swan]

i rly gotta get the names right

i play d4 and i still mess up the names smh

[tranquil basin]

g3 there are diff lines

For a lot of time i thought the ruy lopez was Bb5 and the spanish was Bc4

[radiant swan]

imma be honest idk any theory so 😭😭😭

[tranquil basin]

uhhhhhh this is a joke dont be mad, dont cry when ya lose horribly i mean its somehwat true, ur gonna get clapped by someone younger than u. its gonna happen

what i typically do to avoid this is to picture my opponent like a 60 year old grandpa

wait no that makes it worse

[radiant swan]

used to think ruy and Spanish was different bro we're on the same boat

[tranquil basin]

yk just think of him like hes magnus carlsen. A Magnus who blunders pieces every couple moves

[zealous marsh]

*like Magnus Carlsen

[radiant swan]

bro???? 💀💀💀

[tranquil basin]

being fr now

[zealous marsh]

nvm you said it

[patent patrol]

just imagine ur opponent is like a robot incapable of doing wrong

[somber lark]

same, I have to swindle in order to win

[radiant swan]

stfu u Nf3 g3 ahh

[tranquil basin]

@mint adder dont prepare too much, for me a lot of the time i get overstressed and prepare too much before the game, and im burnt out during the game

just relax

[inland abyss]

Imagine being scared of clsssical🥶

[reef canyon]

ok thats enough games for tonight holy fk

im 1800 again in blitz 😭

[tranquil basin]

and just play chess

[tranquil basin]

lmao

[radiant swan]

play me rated on my alt acc i cant let ts slide

[reef canyon]

i genuinely think i can go for 1900 if i really wanted to

[tranquil basin]

what, it wasnt funny??

[somber lark]

I play that to avoid theory I absolutely suck as black

[tranquil basin]

bro just do the same thing

[mint adder]

I don’t think I’ll modify my repertoire since a week is not enough to learn an opening… but I’ve played rapid and blitz all my life and with classical you need to calculate at a really deep depth, how do you do that

[hexed oracle]

I tileted 35 elo again ;-;

[reef canyon]

let me reach a new peak rating in blitz

[strange bobcat]

ew gay

[somber lark]

It's harder and kinda unplayable

[radiant swan]

seeing young kiddos as grandpa feels wrong ykyk

[tranquil basin]

work on making candidate moves

[fluid ridge]

@ Server Mod homophobic

[tranquil basin]

2-3 candidate moves every time

[ancient fractal]

crap... I ran out of moves to play here

[tranquil basin]

not just for u, for ur opponent

[mint adder]

Ahhh

[rancid herald]

Ahhh

[reef canyon]

d6

[mint adder]

Hmm alright I see

[tranquil basin]

for exampel in long calculations, after every move by u make 2-3 candidate moves for ur opponent and calculate them out

[fluid ridge]

what if 0?

[reef canyon]

wait no this is a live game

[woven pewter]

yo guys

[tranquil basin]

its always candidate moves, and then u go to ur own candidate moves again till u can decide yes or no

[woven pewter]

i grinding blitz

[radiant swan]

1800 is ur peak time to go back to bed

[tranquil basin]

and always double check

chess is not 1 player game

[radiant swan]

going down to 1750 seems good

[woven pewter]

tryna get 1000 blitz (im 1100 rapid)

[mint adder]

How do you calculate efficiently? As in how to avoid making long calculations and rapidly conclude? Does it just come with practice

[tranquil basin]

u have an opponent so u must think what they will do

[fluid ridge]

magnus says it’s best to play with yourself tho

[tranquil basin]

we summarize with the candidate moves typically

i mean if the guys king is in center u dont need to calculate much

u just open center and mate king, kinda forced

[radiant swan]

1100 rapid and not 1100 blitz is crazy

Thanks a lot Edrich ily

4 digits is a good milestone

now try 5

[radiant swan]

2 titled players im out

magnus is diff

bro got 3000 back

[kindred crypt]

Dang good wow

[gentle quest]

Time to dream bigger

[reef canyon]

man i miss the times where my elo is only 4 digits 😔

[radiant swan]

i js gotta lose my games on my alt and farm ur elo fr

[tranquil basin]

for the long calculations unless its a critical sacrifice, typically 3-5 moves in is enough

[kindred crypt]

Wdym ?

[tired bane]

miss the times my elo started with a 2

[tranquil basin]

and you stop and evaluate

as you get stronger you will realize when you can stop and evaluate

you dont stop till everything is safe

[fluid ridge]

fr

[tranquil basin]

if everything is hanging then u continue

[gentle quest]

Set a bigger goal since you've achieved yours already

[tranquil basin]

basically u gotta judge how tactical position is

[kindred crypt]

Oh
Maybe 1500 of elo
But that is to much already

[reef canyon]

200?

[somber lark]

how to do that under time pressure (blitz)

[reef canyon]

or 20?

[tranquil basin]

like in some position where you have 5 moves every move and opponent has 5 moves, you aint gonna calculate all that

[gentle quest]

2000 lol

[tranquil basin]

you play something where nothing hangs and pass the bomb to ur opponent

[tranquil basin]

typically we try to avoid those situations by playing safe central solid earlier on

so we dont have to waste so much time

[radiant swan]

or play 1. b3 and attack ur opponent when they castle kingside

[finite quarry]

Hi

[tranquil basin]

so just generally develop pieces towards center

[reef canyon]

shikanoko noko...

[finite quarry]

Yaaaaaa

[tranquil basin]

connect rooks, bring em to center, play one of the typical ideas in the position etc

[radiant swan]

wtf is this

[reef canyon]

wait since tf when u are a double booster

[tranquil basin]

basically play moves which has no chance of backfiring on u

[radiant swan]

new brainrot dropped????

[finite quarry]

Its the anime character

[reef canyon]

you wouldnt get it 🚬

[tranquil basin]

its why we think b4 playing moves like f4

[finite quarry]

Shes a deer girl hybrid

[tranquil basin]

because that can be very double edged

[finite quarry]

Shes also lesbian or bi i thimk

Or shes a trans idk

[radiant swan]

sry i dont watch anime
used to watch Pokemon years ago but not anymore forgot almost everything abt it

[mint adder]

Oh yeah how do you calculate positionally? Let's take this position I had in a game, how would you calculate this? White to move

[reef canyon]

sensei you think i got what it takes to make it to 2000 blitz this year?

[finite quarry]

Pokemon is the best anime

Actually maybe i should change my pfp to misty

[radiant swan]

@tranquil basin say no

[mint adder]

just like extremely briefly

[reef canyon]

[finite quarry]

Thats actually a respectable anime character xd

[fleet dove]

no thinking qe1 g4 c4 ggs

[tranquil basin]

okay so first lets put the tactical moves first, off the top of my head, f5 or g4, e4 somewhat counts but doesnt make so much sense here

[tranquil basin]

then we have the positional moves, something like ndf3, c4 kh1 rae1

[mint adder]

e4 seems like a good candidate move but it ruins the pawn structure

[tranquil basin]

now for moves like ndf3 kh1 rae1 these are not moves i would spend time on

[mint adder]

Definitely those

[tranquil basin]

i would pick one and play it, cannot hurt me

with pawn moves like c4 i would think more, since they could hurt me by damaging structure

[tranquil basin]

yeah thats why it deosnt make sense

[full jasper]

if im 1800 on lichess whats my elo on chess.com?

[tranquil basin]

so i think f5 here wouldnt be a crushing blow for black

[fleet dove]

c4 dxc4 nxc4 huge for white

[tranquil basin]

doesnt look like i have anything dangerous here

[viscid copper]

Like 14-1500 maybe?

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-staring-cat-gif-20275090

[viscid copper]

Just play on chess.com

[full jasper]

I do

[tranquil basin]

c4 is ehhh maybe possible here but with a4 on board many dark squared weaknesses, lets put that as a maybe

[fleet dove]

I was just speaking to your point about pawn structure

[tranquil basin]

rae1 is okay possible so we put that aside in good moves

[mint adder]

Interesting, c4 is an interesting take but wouldn't it leave the b3 pawn weak?

oh yeah dark square weaknesses too, I rarely think about those ngl

[tranquil basin]

then we have kh1, first of all this move is helpful regardless to avoid getting king cooked when i eventually push g4 somewhere, it also lets me play rg1

[kindred crypt]

to much real chess talk for my liking

[full jasper]

I would play g4 / c4 and pray

[tranquil basin]

but it will also let me decide where to move a1 rook

maybe a1 rook belongs on f1 not e1

so with that we can sorta conclude, that kh1 is definitely helpful

rae1 is helpful but not needed immediately since we aint gonna play e4 anyways

maybe it should go to f1 instead

[mint adder]

So you came to the conclusion that with nothing on the board prophylaxis is probably best here?

[tranquil basin]

yeah

g4 just looks like it hangs a pawn with super tiny compensation

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-meme-gif-10811128366791516392

[tranquil basin]

yeah looks huge ngl even bxc4

[mint adder]

If the a1 rook belongs on f1 wouldn't Rf3 make more sense?

[tranquil basin]

i dont think they woudl take on c4, gives me too much center

[full jasper]

g4 doesn't hang a pawn tho right?

[tranquil basin]

its also possible to do this theres nothing wrong with it either

[mint adder]

They're not taking on c4 whatsoever lol

[radiant swan]

cant relate i dont have one

[tranquil basin]

wait im tweaking yeah it doesnt hang, but sitll not necessary to play g4 here since i would probably have to play kh1 later for rg1

[mint adder]

When you have a lot of possibilities like with this, we concluded Kh1, Rf3, Ndf3 and all these positional moves are good, how do you choose one?

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-future-drake-life-is-good-high-off-life-gif-18160700

[fleet dove]

bxc4 I intuitively like less because even though we get the semi open b file I feel like it may be a bit slow to exploit it

[mint adder]

Or do you just play it and don't think further?

[tranquil basin]

so better to play kh1 first and decide whether to play g4 or not, keep options over

[fleet dove]

but it can't be a bad move I don't think

[finite quarry]

Oh hi zoozoo 🤣

[kindred crypt]

howdy

[mint adder]

Alright, looking lovely

[tranquil basin]

u just pick, which one u think makes most sense

[finite quarry]

Howwwwdyyyy

[tranquil basin]

okay look, our idea is either rf3 or g4

[radiant swan]

@finite quarry ayo??? 💀

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-toystory-dance-wink-pose-gif-15776579833135016350

[finite quarry]

Wut

[tranquil basin]

end of day a safer king is a better king, i would just play kh1 and see what he does

then decide, i wouldnt spend so much time on this

[mint adder]

Also g4 is a very interesting idea, this is a position I've met a couple times (well it is a Bird) but I've never really tried playing g4

[radiant swan]

u deleted something 💀

[mint adder]

Ahh I see

[finite quarry]

Deleting my message was the top engine move

[full jasper]

is g4 Rf3 Rh3 and Qd3 a good plan?

[tranquil basin]

ndf3 is possible but not necessary here, the guy is not threateneing anything

[mint adder]

it's risky most of the time

[radiant swan]

fair

[kindred crypt]

[finite quarry]

I also premove wrote that message

[tranquil basin]

after kh1 possible

[radiant swan]

what

[finite quarry]

Frfr

[tranquil basin]

there are many plans here rf3 being one of em

[radiant swan]

that makes it even worse bro

[full jasper]

so what ur saying is that kh1 is compulsory

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/kamala-harris-do-not-come-gif-25102112

[tranquil basin]

its possible, end of day you probably have to play rf3 anyways

[finite quarry]

Wrote this before you messaged "you deleted something"

[mint adder]

Lowkey Edrich is cooking

[tranquil basin]

yeah, at one point black will counterattack cus otherwise he gets mated and ur king needs to be safe

[mint adder]

I will usually play Rf3 first because I never thought about Kh1

[finite quarry]

Nuh uh!

[full jasper]

but like i don't see the diagonal opening anytime soon so why waste a tempo

[radiant swan]

fym nuh uh

[tranquil basin]

in blitz chess opponents will not find a good counter attack, but in classical people wont give u free attack

if rf3 immediately c5 maybe

[mint adder]

It looks good to me, although maybe I'll even do h4 here if I'm feeling adventurous

[tranquil basin]

first thought, to counterattack in the center, of course black is doing many strange things like nf8

[finite quarry]

I mean, YUH UHHH

[tranquil basin]

idk why to play nf8 and waste so much time, he should play c5 immediately

must strike in center

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/yuh-uh-cat-gif-27323770

[full jasper]

also i think an issue here is Knight g6 (black's move) cause it would be hell to break trough

[mint adder]

Because with Nf8 your opponent's king is stupid safe, the only key to unlock the door is with pawns

[mint adder]

yeah a knight's worst enemy is a pawn

[tranquil basin]

ye but thats not blacks idea here

[fleet dove]

has anyone mentioned nd3 yet

[full jasper]

ig we have to prepare a pawn storm

[finite quarry]

Frr

[mint adder]

[finite quarry]

What are you doing knight F 3🤪

[mint adder]

Do you think f6 is a threat here?

[tranquil basin]

how come?

[fleet dove]

no shot

[mint adder]

As in something like Nfd7 and f6?

actually maybe no I'm overthinking

[idle hemlock]

chat i just need 5 more elo

[tranquil basin]

yeh probably

[fleet dove]

nf8 + nfd7 cannot be good

[idle hemlock]

[full jasper]

I just don't see my queen and rook being useful in the attack if there are 2 knights in front of the pawns

[tranquil basin]

hmmmm if he were to play f6 he would probably not allow u to trade the knight

[mint adder]

unlikely that's his idea

[tranquil basin]

i will play h4 h5 at one moment and ur piece has to go away

[tranquil basin]

common idea

[mint adder]

definitely yeah

[tranquil basin]

because f6 idea is to kick the knight away

so maybe not nfd7 but idk where else he would go

typically black in these positions idea besides c5 is to play ne4 when you cannot capture

and then to play f6 and black is better

[mint adder]

I only mentioned f6 because well I have the game and in the game I went Ndf3 which gave white an outpost with Ne4

[full jasper]

nf3 + kh1 + g4 + Rg1 + h4 is what im thinking rn

[tardy delta]

Chess hungover is hellish
Dropped 30 rapid elo😢

[tranquil basin]

yeh because thats blacks idea

[mint adder]

And after THAT there was f6 yeah

[full jasper]

yeah ur right but he will trade for my outpost knight

[tranquil basin]

wdym?

ur pieces are forked

also if you take u are probably lost by force very quickly

because f file is open and i will play rf3 and just mate u

[mint adder]

Ndf3 seems bad because of Ne4 and f6 which is what happened in the game

[tranquil basin]

i dont think its bad, just not what u want to do for ur opponent

[full jasper]

I thought about playing knight f3 so that even if he plays knight g6 aiming to trade my knight on e5 i can take it back with a knight

[tranquil basin]

yes but you should not fear it at all

[full jasper]

ur right

[tranquil basin]

to take on e5 is bad in general, you take back with f pawn and hes completely cooked

[ancient fractal]

Game ended. I'm still salty that I couldn't castle mate him

[simple lark]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-chat-gif-18148671636020068181

[tranquil basin]

its only ever bad if black already played c5 and has good counterplay on queenside

but black is like 6 moves away from achieveing that

6 moves too late

because the guy played nf8 like a genius -_-

[pallid ice]

What is the context?

[mint adder]

If we're being extra safe and thinking Ne4 is bad then why not, it's objectievly fine

[tranquil basin]

uh flans posiiton

[mint adder]

position here

[mint adder]

[pallid ice]

Why Nf8?

[mint adder]

alright I definitely understood how the thinking process is now, wisdom

[fleet dove]

you probably shouldn't be worried about such trades, but if you are then d3 would be a better square than f3 I think. Black's counterplay revolves around a queenside pawn storm with a5 b5 c5 playing against white's potentially weak c pawn. It would be best to provide more support in the center

[tranquil basin]

yeah i would just play kh1 and decide

[mint adder]

don't ask me that's how the game went

[full jasper]

I changed my mind and i think g4 is the best move here cuz it forces a respone

[fleet rampart]

who want to try 1v1 with me

[mint adder]

lemme pull out another game rq, I'm gonna take a friend's game just so it's not a position we are familiar

[pallid ice]

I would like c5 more

[full jasper]

and when u get to play g5 he cannot kick away ur knight anymore

[tranquil basin]

thing is later on ur king might be cooked, so you should play kh1 first

[tranquil basin]

same thats what i told em

[tranquil basin]

this is why many people after long castling go kb1

better to be safe now then to get mated later when you are too late with kb1

[pallid ice]

See guys? Im CM level

[tranquil basin]

this 1 tempo can make u lose the game very quickly y

and with this you keep flexibility

once u play g4 you have to commit to kingside

[full jasper]

I see

[tranquil basin]

if you play kh1 first you still have g4, you have posisbilities of rf3

or u can even play on queenside

give ur opponent a bigger headache

[full jasper]

yeah maybe against my opponents g4 is deadly but a good player could defend it easily and punish me

[tranquil basin]

yeah

[radiant swan]

try bullet

[tranquil basin]

like just to show u

[idle hemlock]

lets go🥶

[tranquil basin]

like lets say kh1 and the guy plays rac8 idk why we dont even need to play g4 yet, we can play rf3 first

maybe he is scared of rh3 or rg3, let him think

the guy might panic at some moment

play something like ne4 or nfd7 and you dont even need to weaken your own king for it

[full jasper]

I meant the d2 knight to f6 btw

[radiant swan]

||(out of context)||
yes i agree 1. g4 is the best move by far its irrefutable

[mint adder]

Lowkey I'll note this down

[fleet dove]

d2 to f6 what?

[tranquil basin]

of course you cannot prepare the position forever, but oftentimes the threat is more dangerous then the actual thing

[mint adder]

Because I'm planning to well play the Bird's in my classical tournament so this is definitely something I'll consider

[tranquil basin]

bet

[pallid ice]

D7 prop

[mint adder]

I mean it's the only thing ik

[kindred crypt]

finally 2800 🫶

[mint adder]

Black just played Qf6, what do you think here

[full jasper]

😅

[radiant swan]

server booster role looks different

[pallid ice]

Wait this isnt a live game right?

[mint adder]

The f pawn isn't pushed, ofc it's not a live game from me

[spring lion]

Thats @tranquil basin server

[real sparrow]

0-0-0?

[radiant swan]

now get 2000 bullet

[topaz mango]

h4 looks tempting

[mint adder]

Bxf2 and congrats you just fooled yourself

[tranquil basin]

hold on i gotta eat meds ill brb

[kindred crypt]

Is London defense good for a beginner to play?
-# asking for a friend

[mint adder]

feels like a mistake, because g4 Ng5 g3 rips open the position

[somber lark]

a5 Ba7 b5?

[tranquil basin]

XD

[topaz mango]

yeah but f7 is weak

ish

[full jasper]

Ke2

[spring lion]

Yes

[pallid ice]

h4 g4 Ng5? Idk

[tranquil basin]

okay first of all this looks like a super theoretical italian

[topaz mango]

and g3 you can take and o-o-o no?

[somber lark]

wait Bd5 looks so good

[tranquil basin]

this is what we we coudl call a super complex position

[mint adder]

It is, Evan's Gambit Declined

[kindred crypt]

Im still learning What to do if i get black pieces

[tranquil basin]

we would not find positional move here

all tactical, i mean there are some degrees of positoinal moves

[somber lark]

🗣️

[pallid ice]

Just waste moves with the king and apply the magnus effect so they blunder

[tranquil basin]

but i would need to think a bit for it, never seen it before

[radiant swan]

Evan's Gambit… declined????

[spring lion]

I’ll go h4 for fun but it’s probably a very bad move

[tranquil basin]

because if u play something like this i would imagine you have some idea of whats going on

[mint adder]

In all gambits you can accept or decline it

[radiant swan]

no one declines Evans gambit bro

[mint adder]

In the game White played O-O-O? losing a pawn

[real sparrow]

ig Rf1 then 0-0-0

[mint adder]

so clearly he doesn't know what he's doing

[radiant swan]

its actually bad for black to decline the gambit

so

[somber lark]

Bd5 Ne7 😭
im cooked

[tranquil basin]

hmmm

[mint adder]

What's the point of Bd5?

[tranquil basin]

okay i thought a bit

[fleet dove]

a5 looks really good here

[tranquil basin]

so first of all we must consider whether we want to push a5 or not

[mint adder]

the first idea somebody mentioned is a5 Ba7 b5

[fleet dove]

well would you look at that

[topaz mango]

a5 bishop back, nothings achieved

[echo cosmos]

anyone can help me game review a game?

[somber lark]

centralizing, opening up a square for Nc4

[tranquil basin]

idk if its a must, and we should be able to push this later as well as if i give black an extra move to play a5 himself i dont think its dangerous

[mint adder]

lemme turn off the engine rq

[topaz mango]

bishops sticks to the diagonal

[tranquil basin]

so i dont think necessary to push a5

[somber lark]

I did that

[fleet dove]

no dude white would love to play b5 but they can't becuse of na5 rn

so now you clog up a5 with a pawn and then play b5

[lapis marsh]

Whats your repertoire against d4

[tranquil basin]

possible but decently risky, i like to play something more solid

[mint adder]

I don't think a5 is necessary for now, if Black tries to stop a5 by playing a5 themselves well b5 is a bit lethal isn't it

[pallid ice]

I would 0-0-0 to prepare d4 tbh but yea it loses a pawn so maybe since the center is closed u can get away with not castling and just Rd1

[fleet dove]

then you can open up the position with d4 eventually

[tranquil basin]

KID

[tranquil basin]

yeah tahts what i summarized with

[mint adder]

loses a pawn

[pale pollen]

Since I’m stronger now…

[tranquil basin]

I dont think bd5 is any good because of ne7

and c6 is coming very soon

[topaz mango]

hm possibly. but i feel like it kills the pawn breaks

[lapis marsh]

Solid for someone your level but doesn’t it have too much theory?

[tranquil basin]

yk what lemme just refute the other ppl rq

to explain

[tranquil basin]

no KID u play off of feeling

noone knows the theory unless ur a super GM

[mint adder]

Is there a pawn break possible is what I'm thinking here, or at least can you prepare a pawn break

[tranquil basin]

messy position and u just play, better player wins

[topaz mango]

feel like you should attack on the kingside with o-o-o

[tranquil basin]

d4 is not a good idea when the guy has 5000 pieces pointing at the square and ur king on e1

[topaz mango]

cause black kings open

[pallid ice]

Which pawn?

[somber lark]

anyone up for some training games in KID

[tranquil basin]

0-0-0 bxf2 and he can always play be3 back you have no e1 square for rook

[mint adder]

Yeah but castling is not a good idea either

[tranquil basin]

and blacks king can run very quick

[mint adder]

we've discussed castling longside losing a pawn

[tranquil basin]

yeah, thats the problem, the easy moves are not here

[topaz mango]

not immediately, in that line i tolld about

[tranquil basin]

so honestly

[pale pollen]

No one

[mint adder]

if O-O g4 that looks like shit

[tranquil basin]

in these positions, what i would do is first consider my opponents possible ideas

[mint adder]

@tranquil basin you want the eval for this position btw? Might help a bit

[somber lark]

What's the problem with a5 Ba7 b5

[tranquil basin]

no need

we do not know eval in the game1

[somber lark]

I didn't ask you

[topaz mango]

h4 g4 ng5, g3, fxg3, fxg3, 0-0-0

[tranquil basin]

since g4 from black is a possible threat

[lapis marsh]

So how did you start playing it and how did it go? Like no theory? Or what

[mint adder]

I don't think there's a problem with it, it's just that it's unclear and we could probably look for better

[somber lark]

You don't exist in my eyes bro

[mint adder]

nobody will yell at you for playing that continuation but we ruled a5 as something that can be reserved

[tranquil basin]

also cus blacks pawn chain facing towards kingside, thats where his attacks gonna go

[topaz mango]

that long castle line and just attack the king with rook f1

[tranquil basin]

so first thing i think is, how can i stop his attack on kingside if my attack on queenside dont work

like maybe a5 b5 works, but lets pretend it doesnt for a second

[somber lark]

I would get flagged if I think more

[tranquil basin]

can ya resend position

so basically what i was thinking was to play nh2

[pallid ice]

Yea but u have pieces pointing at that square too and u can prepare it with something like Rd1 Nb1 or idk and the king is fine for now imo cuz the center is closed and u arent opening it up with the pawn break too much

[tranquil basin]

looks strange, but has idea

[tranquil basin]

if i play rd1 my king is fcked in center all day

[mint adder]

Qf2... and your rooks are stuck either defending that pawn or you're busted

[pallid ice]

Its closed how will he get to u

[tranquil basin]

nb1 to put piece back to homesquare looks weird

[mint adder]

I'm training for classical here so take as much time as you want

[somber lark]

h4 just feels bad

[topaz mango]

no, id bet my chips blacks king is weaker

[tranquil basin]

it will not be closed for forever, typicaly KID position without g7 bishop

[pallid ice]

Na3 to support b5

[tranquil basin]

he will eventaully play nf7 h5 g4

one day when his king is safe

i aint saying now

[mint adder]

you'd lose, f7 is defended enough and if anything Rf8 is completely viable

[tranquil basin]

i think rd1 is possible just need to think for a bit

and nb1 is total shit

[mint adder]

Rd1 seems good objectively... and I mean objectively because your king is stuck in the center

[tranquil basin]

rd1 is a very commiting move, so i would have to make sure black cannot attack me

[topaz mango]

after rf1 hitting the queen?

[real sparrow]

how about Rf1 and 0-0-0

[pallid ice]

Rd1 before even if we consider it

[tranquil basin]

yes but he can dodge it with 0-0

[mint adder]

exactly, you're leaving the opportunity to castle queenside

[tranquil basin]

send position again bro

im picturing it rn and i have a fever

[mint adder]

in this position I don't think castling is a choice, I also don't think castling will be possible in the near future

[fleet dove]

the bishop on c4 stops castles...

[tranquil basin]

also possible, but idk if blacks attack is a bit fast

[tranquil basin]

nf7

[mint adder]

What attack does Black have? something to do with g4?

[fleet dove]

oh this is after nf7

[tranquil basin]

im saying nf7 and then later

[tranquil basin]

h5 g4 idea not anytime soon but its an idea

also another idea for black here is to play nd8

[last badger]

Chat my first round at a classical tournament yesterday, my opponent spent 30 minutes on move 9 💀

[tranquil basin]

at a good moment when d4 not possible and then be6

[mint adder]

Nd8 seems atrocious wtf

[tranquil basin]

to trade the bishop

[mint adder]

sup, we're discussing a position, come join

[tranquil basin]

idk just off the top of my head

[fleet dove]

personally d4 and a5 would be the only moves I'd consider

[tired bane]

what is your Nc6 doing

[tranquil basin]

these are messy positions, so expect messy ideas

[mint adder]

It's White to move rn

[tired bane]

ok?

[fleet dove]

white's problem piece is the bishop on b2 and you've love to open a diagnonal for it

[tranquil basin]

because ur focused on attacking something rn

[fleet dove]

quite the opposite

[tranquil basin]

ya need the overview, to see position clearly, dont attack nonstop

[topaz mango]

heres a strange idea, ke2, probably not the most playable but something you can in bullet

[real sparrow]

how about Ke2, Raf1, then later Kd1 Kc2

[mint adder]

we're calculating like it's classical

[tranquil basin]

at least the bishop is developed

focus on not getting mated rn

[simple lark]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-meme-battle-cats-gif-3723740713591981867

[mint adder]

People mentioned Ke2 to which it is an interesting idea, but it is very commital

[tranquil basin]

then focus on bishop, we aint got time for the bishop rn my king in center bro

yeh, keep it flexible

[topaz mango]

like ke2, and rooks on g and h and pawn breaks

[mint adder]

and honestly Ke2 guarantees you ain't playing d4

[tranquil basin]

what i would do, im not sure if its any good but i would play nh2

[tired bane]

ur so good https://i.imgur.com/Lgmtnu2.png

[topaz mango]

touché

[somber lark]

Is d4 a move

[pale pollen]

Imagine winning a game without moving a single pawn (that’s what I did against the easy computer)

[tranquil basin]

confusing move innit?

[mint adder]

what.

[mint adder]

not immediately, it's an idea

[pallid ice]

To Ng4?

[tranquil basin]

i avoid g4 attacking knight

[mint adder]

you play d4 right now you lose a pawn, congrats you just played yourself
