[pallid ice]

I was told its auto GM if u win it

[north zealot]

[pallid ice]

An easier route is to become a woman, and then go for a WCM

[north zealot]

the general society of the country i live in doesnt support transgenders

[pallid ice]

What country is that?

If u dont mind telling ofc

[north zealot]

[kindred crypt]

I will if you play bullet from now on forever

[sudden roost]

oh hell no keep ur money

[pallid ice]

Those r very standard animes, maybe blue lock for sports horimiya for romcom, vinland saga for character development (although the manga “onani master kurosawa” is a though opponent for character development), dragon ball demon slayer or naruto for action, maybe blue box is a combination of both romcom and sports, bunny girls senpai is also a romcom + psychological type of anime, Konosuba is also a popular one which i didnt see idk these r all pretty popular and pretty great, maybe i would recommend the movie “silent voice” too cuz even though its just 1 longer movie it was great

[plucky kelp]

thanks :3

[pallid ice]

Dont judge

[limpid viper]

ass ass decent ass ass ass ass ass ass garbage ass

[surreal swan]

Your an amazing person, I watched horimiya and watching Clannad rn, I watched demon slayer and Naruto so maybe I can watch DBZ and blue box and I also watched blue lock. I Appreciate it a lot thank you

[surreal swan]

Yh your right and I never will

[small jungle]

Game rating is a scam

[topaz gazelle]

game review is a lie

[limpid viper]

this means nothing but nice game

[pallid ice]

Its very slow yes, and maybe not peak writing but its fine, has its iconic moments and its a perfect way to set the stage for DBZ

[surreal swan]

Unless you give me a good k drama which is as interesting as the popular animes

[pallid ice]

But every anime with 500+ episodes is slow

[sudden roost]

would you be interested in gl or bl

[kindred crypt]

[plucky kelp]

I also wish you an amazing time of your life

Has anyone ever felt like there's a specific type of position (e.g. IQP, opposite bishops, etc.) where you consistently misjudge your evaluation even after seeing engine lines? Like no matter how much you study it your instincts just don't align and it's not even always tactical. Just curious if anyone has a 'blind spot' type structure or theme like that

[sudden roost]

watch twenty five twenty one

[patent patrol]

Na I just look at the board see what’s winning

[jovial token]

I am ur dad 👨

[surreal swan]

Alright then I won’t watch k dramas

[patent patrol]

I was young and there’s weird stuff in that show

[small jungle]

Mu evaluation is that I'm winning usually

[patent patrol]

My cousins told me beware

[sudden roost]

fine go watch twenty five twenty one

[pallid ice]

20 5 20 1-> 205201=4005=2000 minutes which is way too much cuz thats like 100 anime episodes

[patent patrol]

There’s weird stuff in every anime

[topaz gazelle]

[surreal swan]

Jjk has the most actually

[pallid ice]

Why do ppl like gay k drama its so bad

[cold kite]

the fans yeah but the anime dorsnt

[surreal swan]

Play any opening it doesn’t matter

[limpid viper]

we still talking about jjk in july of 2025?

[surreal swan]

I’m kidding it’s a peak show and manga, ending could be better but it was still peak

[honest yarrow]

london system is easy to learn so just play something solid

[surreal swan]

Can’t forget about how peak it used to be tho

[pallid ice]

I recommend the one and only goat, the old benoni

[sudden roost]

theres more drama and also theres 2 ppl of the same gender in a relationship

[limpid viper]

overhyped

[pallid ice]

No shit sherlock

[sleek pebble]

i suck at chess

[patent patrol]

A little boring

[north ocean]

is it good for black to take the pawn here? why/why not

[surreal swan]

Dw the brilliant move cancels the bad move so it’s fine

[sudden roost]

chico encanto chico

[limpid viper]

ok so we just using peak for anything i might aswell start calling 400s the peak of chess

[sleek pebble]

i hung my queen

[patent patrol]

Turn that bullshit off.

[plucky kelp]

Very good!!!
Reach whatever goals you have!
Is getting a GM title your goal? you can reach it!
is becoming chess world champion your goal? you can still achieve it by putting hard work into it!
If you can't then that's fine just say that you atleast tried!

[hexed ocean]

guys, who wants to see a game with a brilliant but it was countered by another brilliant

[kindred crypt]

Gross.

[honest yarrow]

why ur board like this cuz

[north ocean]

youre in a discord channel to discuss chess, im not going to make my board 2d because you dont want to think

[surreal swan]

Maybe you can it depends on the perspective, you just gotta look at it from a different view✌️

[north ocean]

youre in a discord channel to discuss chess, im not going to make my board 2d because you dont want to think

[surreal swan]

Atleats you got a brilliant

[limpid viper]

ok changing view demon slayer is still not peak and jjk isn't either

[honest yarrow]

mb

i don't want to be positive right now

[plucky kelp]

Np! I love positivity in the world :3

[limpid viper]

i am in a hating mood

ah okay, didnt know that was your answer. and no, its a blunder, and its a crazy line

[sudden roost]

u watch those types of anime dont u

[pallid ice]

What is the worst opening in ur opinion?

[topaz gazelle]

thing with the benoni is idk how to respond to c4

[small jungle]

London

[limpid viper]

nothing all openings fire

[patent patrol]

I feel fulfilled having known this.

[honest yarrow]

honestly i think its a win win unless theres a tactic ur missing

[plucky kelp]

thank you for praising my rolling rook gambit opening

[topaz gazelle]

all system openings are kinda mid in general

[pallid ice]

Thats just a bs move, u r happy to take their central pawn for a flank pawn and u will also develop ur knight with tempo on the queen

[limpid viper]

idk what those types mean but i don't think so

[honest yarrow]

w ragebait

[kindred crypt]

who is that guy

[hexed ocean]

why do people actually hate the london tho, i dont have an opinion on it, but why do people hate it

[sudden roost]

englund

[topaz gazelle]

thats not an opening thats a crack baby

[honest yarrow]

cow opening

[limpid viper]

nah some openings a bit less fire bro

[surreal swan]

They are jealous they don’t understand the concept behind the opening

[north ocean]

Nxc5, Qxb4, axb4, Nxd5, exd5, Bxc5 @honest yarrow

[kindred crypt]

london > ruy lopez

[sudden roost]

https://tenor.com/view/weird-hm-ok-akward-why-annoyed-gif-16297565

[honest yarrow]

ruy lopez got too many lines

[pallid ice]

Cuz u hide behind a pyramid and dont attack or play for anything as white

[small jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/chess-soviet-comedy-movie-gif-12079181

[topaz gazelle]

hmm yea fair enough

[small jungle]

Ruy is ez vro

[kindred crypt]

ruy lopez is for 600 (elo) players to fill better players

[honest yarrow]

not true tbh

[sudden roost]

ok mr london

[pallid ice]

Its not that heard to learn to the level where u can play it already online

U dont need otb prep for blitz

[north ocean]

yeah ok

[surreal swan]

London is on par with Sicilian, prove me wrong

[hexed ocean]

guys what openings should i learn for black, i wanna learn a 1.e4 opening and a 1.d4 opening for black, should i do caro and kings indian or should i resort to better openings

[north ocean]

ruy lopez is what the strongest gms in the world have studied for 1000s of hours the past 10 years for games like the wcc

[kindred crypt]

but sicialIAN IS THE GOATT🔥🔥🔥

[limpid viper]

when are we gonna leave london behind

[sudden roost]

ruy is peak

[small jungle]

Gms are weak fr

[topaz gazelle]

my mind just thinks of playing some sort of a tarrasch defense from there but idk how to play the tarrasch 😭

[honest yarrow]

thats what im saying these guys saying that its easy - obviously its easy to win against people that blunder but to actually play a good game against a good player

[north ocean]

learning ruy lopez theory under 2k is useless anyway unless ur just doing a few moves to know the general plans. its like 20 different variations

[north ocean]

but most openings are like that

[patent patrol]

What’s the use of sending the completed line on the 3d board no offense but gah dam

[kindred crypt]

Anyone wanna playy?

[surreal swan]

Why bother learning theory

[sudden roost]

best black opening

[patent patrol]

It’s genuinely hard to comprehend

[pallid ice]

Whats the tarrasch setup? I dont know most openings by name

[kindred crypt]

i know a gm that lost after 9 moves

[north ocean]

what do you mean? follow it in your head bro. arent you high rated? anna cramling is 2100 and can play a full game in her head without looking at a board once

[limpid viper]

london players honestly have to be insane cause how do these guys wake up and choose to play chess to play the same shit every single game

[patent patrol]

It looks like someone’s notes

[small jungle]

Most of my opps play old steinitz for whatever reason

[dense dagger]

so your king doesnt touch the other king

[surreal swan]

You can get to 2000+ with just basic openinf knowldge

[patent patrol]

I mean yea but u sent the line already finishe

[honest yarrow]

what rating are u by curiosity

[north ocean]

yes to show you the crazy line

[pallid ice]

My free coach plays the london with white and the caro with black

[sudden roost]

yall imagine white king x black king

[north ocean]

0

[dense dagger]

happend before

[patent patrol]

U should’ve just showed me the beginning again so I could calculate it instead of having to scroll up

[topaz gazelle]

ohhh its a queens gambit declined where black plays c5

[honest yarrow]

😔 damn

[patent patrol]

Cause I have not even looked at the line

[sudden roost]

yaoi

[north ocean]

ah ok will do that next time princess

[patent patrol]

Thanks goat

[north ocean]

im jk 😛

ur not a princess that was just me being sarcastic

[dense dagger]

imagine checkmate but for both teams

[north ocean]

idk whats offensive these days

[patent patrol]

I was playing blindfold today just difficult to look at

[honest yarrow]

americans using sarcasm who wouldve thought

they are evolving

[north ocean]

how u know im not a 2head

[pallid ice]

Yea well here u can take on the central pawn on move 2 so u should probably do it, also against the queens gambit the goat is the chigorin defense

[kindred crypt]

no gotham viewers in the chat

[north ocean]

[sudden roost]

yaoi is peak ❤️

[north ocean]

ill prove it rn

[patent patrol]

America is #1 in the world at everything

[honest yarrow]

think the election speaks volumes about the little amount they have learnt tbh.

[surreal swan]

That’s cuz America had the most people in the country

[surreal swan]

He’s from Norway bro😭

nothing but military power

[sudden roost]

ion watch anime

[patent patrol]

Yea he was born in Seattle

[topaz gazelle]

[north ocean]

lmao no he spends alot of time there i think but hes from norway or sweden one of those northern eu places

[sudden roost]

no hes chinese

[small jungle]

Hans is the future first American wold champion tho

[north ocean]

true i forgot

[sudden roost]

tell me im too lazy

[patent patrol]

Pretty much everything including that

[dense dagger]

ur user name is true tho

[pallid ice]

Ok with d4 e6 u can still transpose into the benoni after c4 c5 d5

[small jungle]

Ye magnus was born in florida

[sudden roost]

ik

[honest yarrow]

dont think so tbh soh looks more promising hans is just gonna get worse

[dense dagger]

rapids better

HOW IS THE BENONI NOT AN OPTION 😠

ok thats 3 votes

ding chilling

ding lost to gukesh

[honest yarrow]

ong

[sudden roost]

hey so where is slav

[hexed ocean]

i forgot about benoni mb

[dense dagger]

magnus carl's son

[hexed ocean]

that too

[north ocean]

its kinda wild how much the wcc has dropped off. gukesh is nowhere near the same level of player as Kasparov

[hexed ocean]

i forgot mb

[small jungle]

He played well tho better than I expected

[pallid ice]

And semi slav

[small jungle]

Ding I mean

[sudden roost]

ur weird

[north ocean]

ya ding is crazy he was a wcc

[topaz gazelle]

ohhh i see

[pallid ice]

And the chigorin defense

[hexed ocean]

mk

[honest yarrow]

i dont agree i think if they played carlsen and gukesh would win

[hexed ocean]

mk

[north ocean]

what do you mean

[dense dagger]

hikaru

[pallid ice]

Nah dw just kidding

[honest yarrow]

if either played they would both win against him

[kindred crypt]

obvi

[pallid ice]

“Ok lets castle”

[hexed ocean]

ok, also whats the difference between slav and semi slav

[dense dagger]

I over think that

[north ocean]

carlsen/gukesh would win kasparov? well, probably.. hes retired..but.. kasparov has a much longer reign than magnus, doesnt he? hes a top 3 goat contender

[pallid ice]

In the slav u play d5 c6 in the semi slav u play d5 f6 e6 locking in ur bishop

[kindred crypt]

Do you amigos recognize me?

i hit 1500 blitz guys

[topaz gazelle]

slav only plays c6 semi slav does like a little triangle with c6 and e6

[kindred crypt]

over think✅ overthink❌

[dense dagger]

nice

[north ocean]

its the caro if e4 is played 😛

[honest yarrow]

yeah in terms of goat status but quality of games has increased

[pallid ice]

Sybau

[sudden roost]

who are you Bruno Hernández

[north ocean]

well that's debatable, computers have alot of say in this discussion. is it more chess skill or more memorization/studying with engines?

[dense dagger]

technucally there shoulkd be a hyphen 🤓 ☝️

[kindred crypt]

Let's just say that I was once a CEO.

[topaz gazelle]

i dont think queens gambits come from e4

[north ocean]

no, it doesnt what does that have to do /w what i said tho?

[kindred crypt]

But I am now a Mexican man.

https://tenor.com/view/mario-kart-world-mario-kart-luigi-dancing-mario-dancing-mario-kart-dance-gif-5430660915314651760

[pallid ice]

Also if opponent plays e4 its more like the french cuz ur bishop is trapped unlike in the caro

[hexed ocean]

what so something like this

[kindred crypt]

@north ocean wtf is a bioweapon doing in the chat

[north ocean]

e4 c6 is the caro not the french

[pallid ice]

Semi slav is just a system

[kindred crypt]

I don't remember that man in the video.

[north ocean]

fear me i am the t virus

[honest yarrow]

idk at the end of the day im a new player just learning the game :3 thought it might be fun to habe a shot at it

[small jungle]

Win

[topaz gazelle]

a system in the queens gambit

[plucky kelp]

Hey chat! I said this before but I'll say it again
All of you deserve a happy life!
If it's daytime currently in your zone: Enjoy the entire day! Have fun!
If it's nighttime currently in your zone: I wish your bed is very comfortable, you have amazing dreams and you have a wonderful sleep in general!
If life is going up: Make the most of it!
If life is going down: you just have to endure it and eventually it will start going up
If you are at rock bottom: the only path left is up
I wish you all an amazing life! :3

[pallid ice]

The semi slav move order is interchangeable therefore its closer to the french

[north ocean]

oh yeah we're all noobs compared to those guys. we all have opinions tho

[topaz gazelle]

idk i just call the system the funny triangle

[solar apex]

hi

[pallid ice]

Its basicall a bad reverse london

[north ocean]

e4 is not d4 theory.. tho.. white plays first

[hexed ocean]

what variations of the caro should i start learning

[limpid viper]

jolly ass dude

[north ocean]

you can play d4 then e4, you cant play d4 then e4 and keep it in the caro

[topaz gazelle]

yea 😭

[small jungle]

Aa black?

[pallid ice]

? I dont see how this is repevant

[hexed ocean]

ye]

[pallid ice]

What?

[plucky kelp]

Sillyness is a fun way to distract yourself from other troubles hehe! :3

[solar apex]

guys can i play alien gambit against any of u

[north ocean]

use an engine, play e4 then try going d4 in the caro. then try d4 and playing the slav and playing e4 after. the move ordr matters

[honest yarrow]

ur cat cute blud

[dense dagger]

shoudkl I do it?

[small jungle]

Classical advanced and bit of fantasy

[solar apex]

guys can i play alien gambit against any of u in bullet plz

[brave flax]

If youre feeling ballsy

[plucky kelp]

Thank you!
Yours too!

[solar apex]

im 1700

[small jungle]

Alternatively you can learn botvinnik carls against advanced

[north ocean]

that opening is hard to remember what to do as black

[dense dagger]

the double bongcloud

[topaz gazelle]

tf is da alien gambit

[solar apex]

i memorized every line with white

[north ocean]

really? I thought that c5 push was botvinnik and bf5 was the advanced caro

[solar apex]

bro no way you dont know the GOAT opening 💀

[pallid ice]

I just said thag the caro is furhter away from the semi slav than the french because in the caro black gets his bishop out, the semi slav move order is mostly up to preference therefore ur first move can be e6 and not c6 so its by no means a caro that way

[hexed ocean]

should i also do tal variation or is that too complicated for a 1300

[solar apex]

search witty_alien alien gambit

[topaz gazelle]

goat and gambit in the same sentence

[solar apex]

in yt, do it now its amazing in bullet

[small jungle]

Oh ye I meant like against e5 you can play botvinnik or advanced

[north ocean]

caro/french bishops are swapped. you get the queens bishop out in the caro, and vice versa in the french. because in the french you go e6, opening up the kings bishop, and in the caro you go c6, opening the queens bishop

[solar apex]

yup

[small jungle]

I don't think anyone will play tal at 1300

But against tal you just need to remember h5

[pallid ice]

c6 doesnt open up any bishop tho?

[brave flax]

Okay now thats risky

[north ocean]

c6 d5 my friend

[brave flax]

Still winnable tho

[pallid ice]

In the semi slav black gets out his kings bishop

[solar apex]

literally every opening in chess can be complicated for a 1300

[north ocean]

thats because e4 isnt played

[pallid ice]

Ik it was a sarcastic reply to what u said

[hazy jungle]

♟️

[solar apex]

if u like it play it until you master it

[dense dagger]

btw,that was martin I lost too

[north ocean]

oh sorry mb, you were right factually lol

[topaz gazelle]

what is the easiest way to play against the caro kann

[brave flax]

My peak was 1200 and didnt learn no openings whatsoever just improvise it till they get confused

[north ocean]

the exchange. trade pawns, develop knights, bishops, castle, (defend the central pawn with c3)

[patent patrol]

Also this is funny I’m not close to her skill and she was also born of two strong grandmasters, I can visualize but the end of a line with moves you can’t picture scribbled next to it is not a good medium 😭

[dense dagger]

king to E4

[solar apex]

are you stuck at 1200?

[north ocean]

you can do it if you practice, esp. at ur rating

[brave flax]

Okay Martin showed is he was holding us back

[brave flax]

Yeah didnt went up since then

[hexed ocean]

im watching gotham chess's video on the caro

[pallid ice]

How does e4 stop the bishops development?

[north ocean]

let me show u on an analysis board

[patent patrol]

Yeah if you show me START OF THE LINE TWIN

[solar apex]

then thats the reason lol if you learn real openings you can easily surpass 1200 believe me

[patent patrol]

not the end of it with moves that are illegal next to it

[dense dagger]

I won these games

(im white and martin is blakc)

[brave flax]

Yeah i agree with you

[pallid ice]

Martin is white tho

[dense dagger]

the Pieces

[solar apex]

openings might seem kinda complicated at first its abt training and analzying mistakes , analyze every single game u lose

[pallid ice]

Ik

[brave flax]

Know what i appreacite your words of encouragement Armin

[pallid ice]

U dont need to learn openings for a long time just the opening principles will be enough

[north ocean]

this is what i meant, if i said it confusingly, this is the pictoral/theory version of what i mean

[brave flax]

So esentially if i know like only 2 openings i can use it to go higher

Yeah well just need to know the counters as well

[pallid ice]

Ok yea i get it, but then does black play Bb4 in the semi slav? (I dont know much abt the system)

[solar apex]

thanks but i didnt do anyting also if u actually dont know abt any opening i advise u to start with the london

[north ocean]

I dont know, but its not as bad as in the adv caro. you cant even take that bishop out. itd be like a nimzo type Bb4 thing in the semi-slav(but i dont play semi slav so idk)

[brave flax]

I heard people hate it

Whys that?

[topaz gazelle]

the thing with openings is you can learn openings or just play double fianchetto every game and live

[north ocean]

Bb4 doesnt look like a blunder there, thats for sure. and its because c3 cant be played, the knight is pinned until broken versus c3 wasting a tempo and kicing ur bishop away

[solar apex]

many people say its boring and many say they hate it bc its hard to counter bc its so solid thats how good it is

[pallid ice]

Also where does black develop his kings bishop in the french?

Cuz in the advanced french the situation is the same

[north ocean]

a normal french line

[topaz gazelle]

ohh i play the french

[north ocean]

the pawn structure is just swapped, its e6 d5 vs c6 d5

[topaz gazelle]

he means advance French i think

[dense dagger]

te parflen francias?

[north ocean]

oh im not an advanced french player im not sure

[topaz gazelle]

nein

[dense dagger]

hablas arabic?

[pallid ice]

Ok but if bb4 is played in the semi slav as well and in both the french and the semi slav the queens bishop is trapped, am i not correct saying the semi slav is more like the french then the caro?

[north ocean]

well it depends on the variations of these openings that ur playing greatly. it really only applies to the advanced caro kann, the bishop is notoriously bad

its just the same exact case flipped in the french

[pallid ice]

[north ocean]

i am not versed well in both, because i dont play the french, or the semi-slav, but i know this from hearing a gm who plays the french in his speedrun videos talk about it constantly

i am a caro player though

[topaz gazelle]

the bad french bishop is a really big problem in most variations of the french

[north ocean]

yea basically this, and in the caro its the other one afaik

advanced caro

[pallid ice]

Rn im looking for an opening against 1. e4 cuz i was a french player but im not very deep into it and idk if there r options which lead to positions i like more

[karmic willow]

heyy guys

[north ocean]

cause in the exchange both bishops are free

[karmic willow]

i really wanna learn how to play chess

[north ocean]

let me find u a french system chessmood reccomends, its rlly good. lots of attacking chances too

[wanton willow]

I love caro

[karmic willow]

i have a competion wit my brother who is really good at chess and i need toi win

[pallid ice]

Ok so in the french isnt e4 e6 d4 d5 e5 g6 nc3 ba6 bxa6 nxa6 a line? Na6 further supports the incoming c5

[small jungle]

How good is he

[raven sinew]

Ez rating manip

[north ocean]

@pallid ice this is the idea/system. you can attack on the qs or kingside

its a novelty but rlly strong when u understand

bb4 isnt required

[wanton willow]

dont get ur bishop trapped tho hehe

[north ocean]

its just like showing how the game can develop

[raven sinew]

Usually this happens after c5

[karmic willow]

like on a scale of 1 to 10 like 6

[north ocean]

a6 Bb5?

[pallid ice]

In the french ppl usually use the c5 pawn break do u still make that move or no here?

[raven sinew]

Yes

[small jungle]

What's his rating

[karmic willow]

i honestly don't know
bcos he stopped for a while and is now tryna get back

[north ocean]

i thought it was a novelty

c5 is the typical idea in these structures, its the only pawnbreak aside from f6 (which is risky)

[small jungle]

And you want to beat him?

[raven sinew]

Nothing is a novelty

[karmic willow]

yeah

[pallid ice]

Ik but u artowed c6

[topaz gazelle]

u mean b6 not g6 right?

[karmic willow]

do u think you can traon me?

[north ocean]

novelty is a real chess term, you know what it means or not?

[pallid ice]

Yea mb

[raven sinew]

Yes...

[north ocean]

huh? artowed c6?

[pallid ice]

Arrowed

[karmic willow]

@north ocean sduring the summer vecation

[small jungle]

I don't rlly coach but there's a free coaching discord server if u want

[north ocean]

wdym? I arrowed bd7

[north ocean]

so wdym it doesnt exist

[karmic willow]

yes please
thanks so much you've been so much help

just send me the link?

[pallid ice]

There is an arrow from c7 to c6 on the original image where u arrowed by hand

[raven sinew]

Every move has been played already

[north ocean]

sorry which image are u talking about can u reply and @me

[small jungle]

Check @young swan 's bio there should be the link

[north ocean]

thats not what a novelty is

[pallid ice]

This

[raven sinew]

A novelty is a move that hasn't been played before

[north ocean]

a novelty is a deviation from mainline theory that can get you an edge because its not expected/studied by the person maining said opening

[raven sinew]

No a novelty is a move that hasnt been played before

[topaz gazelle]

i think the system @north ocean showed is better for the extended bishop swap

[raven sinew]

Thats kinda what the word novel means

[pallid ice]

Ive seen the word used for both before so idk

[raven sinew]

People use it loosely and incorrectly

[north ocean]

It can mean that - but thats not the idea behind looking for novelties

[topaz gazelle]

because you want the knight on c6 to pressure the e5 pawn

[raven sinew]

The word novel means new

[topaz gazelle]

thats a sideline 🤓

[north ocean]

It's just a sideline move meant to throw ur opponent off when they know the mainline theory. Thats why GMs find novelties.

[north ocean]

a sideline doesnt have to be a novelty. it can just be sideline theory

[raven sinew]

Sidelines arent novelties

[north ocean]

not all of them

[pallid ice]

Yea but in this case wouldnt c5 be further supported? And u can play Nc7 supporting b5 queenside expansion

[north ocean]

but unique ones with unknown ideas compared to the main ideas of the lines are

there's a calculator on the chestempo database that will find u a novelty in any mainline if u press the big 'N' button

[pallid ice]

Most ppl play the exchange french tho

In my experience

[dreamy oracle]

What’s going on

[topaz gazelle]

you don't really need support on c5

taking it is always not good because its really weakens the e5 pawn

[north ocean]

c6 is played here after the exchanges to defend your pawn (assuming white trades the bishop)

[topaz gazelle]

sadly

[wind sluice]

Phillidor mogs french

[dreamy oracle]

How’d you get the trusted role?

[topaz gazelle]

by being trusted

[north ocean]

@pallid ice a common continuation

its just re-solidifying the pawn structure

[pallid ice]

Tbh this doesnt look good

[raven sinew]

White should just not take on b5

[north ocean]

what about it doesnt look good its excellent

[dreamy oracle]

Wanna play against me?

[north ocean]

they dont have to, but then you can and it transposes to the same thing

or similar

[pallid ice]

No queen side pawn pushes cuz u dont have pawns, and u r underdeveloped and ur kingside can be easily attacked

Do u not castle here?

[dreamy oracle]

Tryna play?

[pallid ice]

No

[raven sinew]

B4

[dreamy oracle]

Why does no one wanna play?

[raven sinew]

Pawn push b4

[pallid ice]

It has no a pawn to support it

[dreamy oracle]

They should add a LFG channel

[north ocean]

wdym u dont have pawns? there's the same amount of pawns, the b file pawns are just doubled but thats not a weakness bc its not isolated

[pallid ice]

And u cant put a rook behind it

[raven sinew]

It's defended and you can follow up with b6 c5

[pallid ice]

Cuz u have doubled pawns

[north ocean]

in alot of caro and french games its better not to castle but it really depends.. in the chessmood videos he castles O-O-O alot(but O-O) is fine too

[pallid ice]

A lot of tempo and u are severely underdeveloped

[topaz gazelle]

early bishop swap isn't that good in my opinion and u just lose a lot of time fixing an issue when in the advance french u have lots of opportunities to create pressure against whites structure as their e pawn is over extended in a way

[hexed ocean]

why when i have started testing my caro kann, they play the reti

[north ocean]

it doesnt matter that ur underdeveloped because white cant attack that, its a literal iron fortress

thats the point of the caro really, (the advanced caro)
