[dull blaze]

and after nf3 I transpose into benoni no problem

[fleet dove]

So are you gonna go into grunfeld ?

Against nc3

[dull blaze]

well grunfeld or kid

the plan was grunfeld

[fleet dove]

Yea I mean it could work

Although you’d then have to learn both grunfeld and benoni

[limber cove]

Check out this #chess game: Dhruv291274 vs prabirkc - https://www.chess.com/live/game/141118851908

[fleet dove]

Which is a lot of theory

[pure flame]

It was a joke about cheating

[limber cove]

😮 smothered mate!!!

[dull blaze]

well yeah the plan for my opening rep against d4 was one of three choices:

a) semislav
b) kid
c) mix of grunfeld and benoni

for like a super serious rep

[limber cove]

Finnaly I'm rated 1500 in all 3 OTB forms at the age of 13 so that's nice

[fleet dove]

Out of principle I am anti any Slav opening

[dull blaze]

this nicely fits into c but atp I might as well just tank the damage and really focus on the black side of the taimanov

[smoky sinew]

I don't cheat, come on. I want to be fair and square player. Tell me what did you do for above 2000 rating. Also so /profile

[fleet dove]

So I like options b and c

[limber cove]

Is 1500 OTB good?

[dull blaze]

yeah I ruled out a first

[fleet dove]

That’s very fair

[void ember]

better than me

[limber cove]

Still it's so sick to get a smothered mate

[twilit dew]

Hello children

[magic shard]

since I don't play Slav idk anything about it so why are you anti just wondering

[pure flame]

Theory, tactics, books, coaching, naroditsky videos, chessable courses

[limber cove]

Wanna play a match? (I wanna lose)

[fleet dove]

I also have some qh4+ lines if you were to theoretically want them

[dull blaze]

modern benoni but white goes f4 before nf3

and bb5+

[fleet dove]

They actually end up transposing into the classical mainline I think?

[void ember]

procrastinating studying rn mb

[fleet dove]

Although I may be misremembering

[limber cove]

Okay 🙏

[dull blaze]

woah that could be huge

[limber cove]

Can I play you 🙏

[pure flame]

Also Im washed af

[native laurel]

スキルの問題
problème de compétence
مسألة المهارة

[fleet dove]

I think it’s against the Bb5+-Be2 maneuver

[fleet dove]

Merci mec

[dull blaze]

yeah thats the big bad one

[limber cove]

Can I play you

[void ember]

WCM is diabolical ngl

[dull blaze]

i'll look into it and try come up with some ideas

[fleet dove]

Maybe

[dull blaze]

rarest title

[fleet dove]

Bet

[limber cove]

Can someone play me 🙏

[void ember]

surely not right

[limber cove]

I need practise against strong players , also my mother won't let me play randoms irl :/

[dull blaze]

idk google it

[magic shard]

yeah I don't know much about that

[pure flame]

I prefer not to play rn, Im on my tablet at a B&B because im playing in the dutch open, in the B group going 3/4 thus far

[magic shard]

does anyone want to explain the anti slav though

[somber lark]

made a knight 💀

[magic shard]

as someone who doesn't play it I'm just curious to why you guys don't like it

[fleet dove]

Because it’s a cringe opening

[void ember]

cringe

[limber cove]

Quick question, I beat 4 1800s in a classical tournament back to back and got 6th, will my 1500 rating improve

[somber lark]

am I crazy for playing this 💀

[zealous marsh]

Wht not Rh8 or do you just wanted to be fancy

[void ember]

is the sky blue ahh question

[fleet dove]

Bro’s pawns are Irish

[somber lark]

Kg2 and then what

[limber cove]

I don't get you :> bad English sry

[zealous marsh]

oh whoops fair enough

[pure flame]

Idk classical isnt the same as online, but prolly

[limber cove]

Thanks

[zealous marsh]

Completely forgot the king could catch up to the pawn if you do nothing about it

[limber cove]

Anyone wanna play online 🙏

[magic shard]

what about it it cringe

[somber lark]

bro played this 😭

[balmy python]

yes but i only play evil chess

[limber cove]

I don't think if the king reaches the other side it turns into a queen

[balmy python]

😈

[limber cove]

Good enough (idk whatever that is)

[dull blaze]

its a bit difficult to learn, pawn breaks can be tricky and are not very intuitive

[limber cove]

Link?

[balmy python]

chess but evil 😈

[fleet dove]

Because caro kann players premove the same two moves against everything and it pisses me off

[dull blaze]

also recently the exchange slav has been very trendy as a way to play for the win with very minimal risk

[limber cove]

Link but evil pls

[fleet dove]

I actually started learning the exchange Slav recently

With Bf4 e3 before nf3

[magic shard]

I can sort of see that

[fleet dove]

To prevent Bf5/bg4

[dull blaze]

smart

[magic shard]

oh yeah the caro kann is annoying too

[somber lark]

I should consider playing e3 during the game 💀

[fleet dove]

But that’s only when I play d4, usually I play nf3/c4 so the Slav structures are actually better for white with quick Qb3/Nh4/Ne5

[fleet dove]

That is the main move if you want those neo Catalan type structures

[limber cove]

Is my repoitire good or bad ? White : Vienna , QG, KIA black: Petrov , grunfield, KID

[fleet dove]

Why do you play the grunfeld and kid

Same with Vienna qg and kia

You should stick to one opening

[limber cove]

interchangeble depending on opponents play style / games

[tawny narwhal]

this bich jus blew my high

[magic shard]

I recently played like 16 moves of prep in an otb classical game against a caro kann and I crushed him

[somber lark]

What are your thoughts on this (should have played Bc5 first ig)

[tawny narwhal]

It's fine but your spelling sucks ass

[fleet dove]

From white or black’s perspective

[somber lark]

black

[limber cove]

I'm a Nepalese minor 😭

[tawny narwhal]

equal

[dull blaze]

I think its good to play a mix of different stuff (good for chess development) but I highly suggest you specialize in either vienna or qg, and grunfeld or kid

[fleet dove]

I mean I would never play this as black and I roll my eyes when I see this as white

But it’s blitz so it can’t be that bad

[dull blaze]

@scarlet arrow bot

[limber cove]

Will do

[somber lark]

it's not bad wdym

[limber cove]

Good 🙏

[tawny narwhal]

<@&745328830649991179> bot that i assumed was a human cuz they r ugly

[fleet dove]

I mean yea it’s not bad but you could also just play a normal English

[unique tree]

i just greek gifted someone

[tawny narwhal]

rip

shut up den bru

[unique tree]

i am so happy

[dull blaze]

like the grunfeld and kid are so similar that I would just pick one, playing both the queens gambit and vienna is an interesting (good) approach

[limber cove]

Can I play you sir / ma'am

[somber lark]

idk what a normal english looks like 😭

[dull blaze]

and if white goes nf3?

[limber cove]

It's good for transposition

[fleet dove]

Four knights English or some reversed dragon stuff

[limber cove]

Kid and grun I mean

[tawny narwhal]

[fleet dove]

Not tn sorry

[somber lark]

boring

[limber cove]

Okay

[limber cove]

Play me pls 🙏🙏

[fleet dove]

Play b5 then

If you wan sparks

[tawny narwhal]

whos ur bf

[tranquil basin]

I’m agaisnt a washed 2100

[limber cove]

Can I play with you ... 🥀

[tranquil basin]

I’m white things should be good

[somber lark]

b5 against what

[magic shard]

I remember when I used to play e5 against the english
but then I realized I can just play king's indian defense because I main that against d4

[fleet dove]

1.c4 b5

[tawny narwhal]

not tonight

[limber cove]

Gl

[somber lark]

isn't a6 b5 better

[limber cove]

What is tonight that everyone is so busy

[fleet dove]

Yes

You could do that too

It’s cringe but it works

[somber lark]

saw a 2600 play it

[tawny narwhal]

pretty late at night

[fleet dove]

I think 2600s can get away with playing most things realistically

[short summit]

Hikaru officially lost it

[tawny narwhal]

im only awake because i am drinking wine and listening to lets get lost by chet baker

[orchid sedge]

no way bones is recommending that shitty of openings

[fleet dove]

I would never but they’re not satisfied by the reversed dragon so what can I say

[idle plume]

fking hate chess

[fleet dove]

Why is he behind kids ***ing them

[tawny narwhal]

Dont say that

[shut agate]

He beat me in a losing position

[shut agate]

[short summit]

He prolly has his reasons

[tranquil basin]

I saw his play, he’s not impressive at all

[tranquil basin]

[shut agate]

[tranquil basin]

I can’t believe I was preparing for Samuel for 1 hr before I realized I’m not playing him

[reef canyon]

funnily enough the Torre attack isnt named after him

[shut agate]

U didn't see pairings and started to prepare already?

[reef canyon]

who r u paired with instead

[tranquil basin]

Yeah u can guess the pairings when ur experienced enough

[mint adder]

I couldn't find the tournament

[tranquil basin]

Some Chinese 21 that’s had a shit tournament

[shut agate]

He's playing a washed 2100

[tranquil basin]

I've played him too but didn't save to my list 😭

[reef canyon]

[tranquil basin]

Previous round and the board under me

Cus there’s 4 boards for U16

[reef canyon]

[tranquil basin]

He’s super weak, never played anyone strong

He loses this round for sure, saw his games

[shut agate]

He beat everyone

[tranquil basin]

He beat no one strong

Look at his game agaisnt Malaysian

[reef canyon]

luck pairing was definitely on his side

[tranquil basin]

He’s just totally lost

And lucky to trick the guy, he’s just a tricky guy

Not a good player, making positional mistake everywhere

Why did bro clip this for me

[shut agate]

[short summit]

Specially for U 🫶🏻

[fleet dove]

Appreciate you gang

[dull blaze]

ok screw it the taimanov which is like +1.1 aint got nothing on me

ive played the damiano in classical this is no biggie

[reef canyon]

current leader in the U-18 section, one of our FMs

[shut agate]

Oo yea

[reef canyon]

bro is barely older than my younger brother and could solo me 100-0

[simple acorn]

@tall barn Hey bro?

[fleet dove]

LOL

[somber lark]

torre attack is so underrated 💀

[fleet dove]

It’s so bad…

[mint adder]

@tranquil basin I stand my question as to where tf you find how to join these tournaments

[dull blaze]

mama didnt raise no weakling

[mint adder]

😔

[somber lark]

why do I win everygame with it then

[dull blaze]

cause you havent played me (I dodge the torre)

[fleet dove]

That’s the spirit

[somber lark]

simply lovely

[fleet dove]

Because Caissa has blessed you with 3 lifetimes of luck

Come your 4 reincarnation you’re cooked

[dull blaze]

whered your bishop go

thats like the heart and soul of your position

[somber lark]

I keep that in mind

[fleet dove]

💀

[dull blaze]

you traded him off and let your opponent put ALL the pawns but 1 on light squares

[fleet dove]

I am definitely wondering how your d pawns got doubled

[dull blaze]

I am literally crying right now

[fleet dove]

Some bf5

[reef canyon]

f1 bishop got to d3

[fleet dove]

Yea exactly

[somber lark]

what's wrong with it 😭

[fleet dove]

Why would you allow that

[somber lark]

the pawn structure looks good though

[reef canyon]

e4 prospects, stronk center, open c file, it has its strenghts

[fleet dove]

The whole point of the torre is to eventually give up your dark squared bishop for light square domination

[dull blaze]

never cook again

[reef canyon]

nah let him cook

[fleet dove]

No it’s bad

The c file is only semi open

And black is never playing c5

They’re always hedging for e5

[dull blaze]

bro if you look at the game our boy zigzag was getting deep fried until his opponent played qb3 like a dumb boy

[glacial ravine]

the grill master?

[somber lark]

I was winning a pawn 🥺

[reef canyon]

screw this this is how im gonna reply to the albin from now on

[fleet dove]

Hell no bruh

[dull blaze]

okay I guess its hard to just give up a4 in blitz but qb3 still lets white win a pawn

[fleet dove]

Play nf3 nbd2 black will never win back the pawn

[dull blaze]

genius

[tranquil basin]

U just do lmao

[reef canyon]

you 2400s cant enjoy opening variety like us dogwater players do

[dull blaze]

what if black goes c5

[fleet dove]

I still face bowdler Sicilians

[dull blaze]

checkmate

[fleet dove]

I promise you it’s quite diverse

I haven’t gotten a mainline Sicilian in like a week

It’s so cringe

[reef canyon]

might as well put all the pawns in the 4th/5th rank im playing b4

[dull blaze]

ik 1 guy who prepped it unironically

[glacial ravine]

if you want to win all of your games literally play bongcloud you win 100% of the time

[fleet dove]

Smh

[glacial ravine]

its impossible to lose

[dull blaze]

but his stuff was actually interesting

[dull blaze]

personally id play f4

[fleet dove]

Like I wouldn’t hate the opening if I didn’t have so much emotional baggage with it

[mint adder]

do you ask your federation or smt

[dull blaze]

bro just go outside and the tournaments will come to you

[glacial ravine]

use the federation website

[mint adder]

Bro my federation’s site is used to glaze child prodigies

[reef canyon]

brb chat gonna rewatch the entirety of the queen's gambit to hype myself up for tomorrow

[glacial ravine]

the kindergarteners playing at 3000

[dull blaze]

man it actually pisses me off when people put their birthyear in their username

[fleet dove]

If you do you’ll notice she plays dxe5 nf3 nbd2 against the albin

(Derogatory)

[dull blaze]

like I just got fried by someone with 2012 in their username

[glacial ravine]

wild

[reef canyon]

i recreated the line and i swore thought she played it like i just did

[fleet dove]

LOL

[reef canyon]

albin in final GM match is wild af

[magic shard]

isn't the final game of queens gambit pretty inaccurately played

[reef canyon]

i miss the pre-stockfish days

[dull blaze]

whats the final game, borgov or wtv his name is?

[glacial ravine]

i resigned and i accidentally hit "f" on my keyboard and the board got hit with a fist

[magic shard]

yeah the borgov game

[dense flint]

better I got by someone in 2017

[magic shard]

let me see if I can find it

[glacial ravine]

because i hit my keyboard

[dull blaze]

exactly like

back in the game someone couldve played some dogshit novelty

and it would take like 5 dudes in a closed room to figure it out

[somber lark]

inventing theory now 💀

[reef canyon]

but now almost everything gets refuted by dorkfish

[dull blaze]

and whatever they figured out was completely wrong too

[tranquil basin]

No

Tournaments are literally just everywhere

[fleet dove]

Kasparov karpov Sevilla type shit

[tranquil basin]

Just look for local tournaments

[somber lark]

Is this an actual line?

[tranquil basin]

Or chess results in ur country

[dull blaze]

now it takes weeks of stockfish at depth 300 to come up with something and it gets refuted as soon as you play it once

[magic shard]

ok bro what the actual hell is this

[tranquil basin]

Facts

[dull blaze]

like vishy saw that petrov line in the newspaper and played it, lost in 7 moves

[reef canyon]

@fleet dove SEE i told you

[loud dome]

Why

[dull blaze]

we need to turn it back

[fleet dove]

Dont @ me with this baloney

[tranquil basin]

I’m guessing nimzo

[dull blaze]

no more stockfish

[fleet dove]

Lmfao

[glacial ravine]

ah i love when the queens on d1 and d8 stare down the board at each other its so epic

[tranquil basin]

Looks like qc2 nimzo except for some reason e3 pawn gone and queen on b3

[fleet dove]

No it’s ragozin no?

[magic shard]

it's apparently the opening of beth harmon vs borgov from the queen's gambit final game

[tranquil basin]

Why u took cxd4?

[fleet dove]

I think I play this line as black

Wait I’m dumb

Why is there no d5

[tranquil basin]

Impossible to have ragozin with pawn on d7

[magic shard]

this is so trash

[dull blaze]

no it was something else I think

[loud dome]

Really? That is truely disappointing

[tranquil basin]

.

[fleet dove]

If this were d5 this would be mainline Bg5 ragozin

[tranquil basin]

Yea

[somber lark]

why not

[glacial ravine]

yeah playing e4 in that position is.. well..

[tranquil basin]

Yeah isn’t the move h4 there also why queen is on b3

You keep the center tension typically

[glacial ravine]

and i think black should've taken on e4

[tranquil basin]

Maybe with nc6 nge2 and then h4

[reef canyon]

dont listen to the engines this is absolute fire

[tranquil basin]

H5* u play h4 idea

[fleet dove]

MODS SOMEONE STOP THEM

[glacial ravine]

Because then bishop takes c4 and gets out

[dull blaze]

brilliant

[somber lark]

I js wanted to keep the pressure

[glacial ravine]

[tranquil basin]

You released it by taking bro

Cause u want to make his development shit

[somber lark]

Nc6 follow up

[lyric pumice]

do you maintain the world champion title when someone else becomes world champion

[tranquil basin]

Nc6 first should be better

[glacial ravine]

no

[rich sapphire]

Be3 is diabolical

[tranquil basin]

I don’t think u should take center pawn so quickly

[loud dome]

No

[tranquil basin]

Maybe somewhere it makes a difference

Like if u first play nc6 ne2 h5 h4 nxg3 then u have bad e3 pawn

[loud dome]

Only good move apparently

[magic shard]

how do you think this position was reached

[somber lark]

the only move for an advantage

[magic shard]

I checked a random lichess study but the line that showed looked brain dead

[rich sapphire]

Please tell me it's a movie

[tranquil basin]

Eh possible ik the qc2 lines

[somber lark]

you are yapping bro

[tranquil basin]

But same idea is h5

[glacial ravine]

lol random but the cat staring is funny

[tranquil basin]

In the qc2 lines u don’t take

[glacial ravine]

!

[dull blaze]

oops that was bigger than I thought

sorry guys

[glacial ravine]

great move

[somber lark]

That guy is my full time coach

[magic shard]

that can't be true though since Nc6 isn't on the board yet

[rich sapphire]

It happens too often for many to care

[glacial ravine]

my wallpaper is frank sinatra

[dull blaze]

uhm

[glacial ravine]

i like listening to my way as the board gently lifts off the table and soars across the skies

[dull blaze]

maybe the actors played the wrong order

[open thorn]

https://www.chess.com/puzzles/rush got the same puzzles at a lower rating repeatedly idk where to report bug but idgaf bye i guess this is a thing

[rich sapphire]

Yeah that board has Nf6 not Nc6

[somber lark]

depends on the pawn structure

[scarlet arrow]

why are we studying QG's games ?

[reef canyon]

i brought up the series

[dull blaze]

I mean its probably d4 d5 c4 dxc4 e4 nf6 nc3 e5

[magic shard]

I'm trying to figure out the opening of queen's gambit final game

[scarlet arrow]

o

[reef canyon]

and it turns out my netflix subscription has alr ended

[scarlet arrow]

what's the position

[rich sapphire]

It's supposed to be Nc6 first before playing e5

[dull blaze]

bro scroll up

[rich sapphire]

But how did you get e5 on the board first

[scarlet arrow]

this one ?

[mortal bronze]

how long have you been here

[magic shard]

beth played Nc3 in her last move, I forgot to mention

[reef canyon]

d4 d5 c4 e5 e4

[mortal bronze]

i went to sleep and came back

[magic shard]

that's what I can't seem to make sense of

[rich sapphire]

Yes but the actors played the wrong moves lol

[magic shard]

because developing Be3 before Nc3 is wrong

[scarlet arrow]

why th is bro's knight reversed

[reef canyon]

borgov took on c4 like a lunatic

[somber lark]

I live here bro

[rich sapphire]

There's no knight on c6 in the scene

[dull blaze]

ok beths just trash

[reef canyon]

personal preference

[scarlet arrow]

[rich sapphire]

But they probably had the board reversed

[loud dome]

They don't give a f 😭

[mortal bronze]

lol. i have been very active too for the last two weeks

[reef canyon]

maybe borgov liked the way the knights look

so he wanted them facing him

[magic shard]

kings on e1 and e8 board can't be reversed

[glacial ravine]

im gonna start taking pieces otb with the knights facing ME for max disrespect

[dull blaze]

yeah a1 is a dark square, they had the board correct

[dull blaze]

ima do that at my next tourney

[reef canyon]

i'd be damned if they even got that wrong

[rich sapphire]

So they just played Nf6 instead of Nc6

[dull blaze]

fix the knights so they face backwards

[glacial ravine]

that image has inspired me to promote toxicity in chess forevermore

[rich sapphire]

Actor needs to be apprehended

[magic shard]

also for cinématic purposes they had to make beth play a queen's gambit

[scarlet arrow]

that's such a genius move

how to piss off the opponent

[dull blaze]

yeah exactly

[silver lotus]

hello chat

[loud dome]

It was high quality production. This was to be expected

[scarlet arrow]

invert all the pieces

[dull blaze]

while they're in the bathroom i'll adjust their knights too

[reef canyon]

BM-ing before the match has even started

[scarlet arrow]

lmao

[reef canyon]

iirc Kasparov took part in the production

[dull blaze]

the opening is shit tho like

[obtuse sandal]

i just beat my bullet peak 🤑🤑

[somber lark]

Is playing without repertoire hinder my progress?

[silver lotus]

fellow deer lover

[loud dome]

People at the time played like shit

[scarlet arrow]

definitely

you're a damn 2500+

[rich sapphire]

Real talk, what direction do you put your knights when you play otb? I put them sideways either side

[scarlet arrow]

take yourself more seriously

💀

[dull blaze]

id destroy beth harmon ngl

[reef canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/deer-deer-singing-deer-glitch-glitch-gif-5373940171484025968

[dull blaze]

i put them facing each other

[reef canyon]

...over the board right?

[loud dome]

She would beat you with her drugs

[dull blaze]

yeah

[rich sapphire]

Interesting

[silver lotus]

D E E R

[somber lark]

I'm too lazy to learn theory

[loud dome]

45°

[obtuse sandal]

how do i change my rating role

[reef canyon]

facing each other

[dull blaze]

get a higher rating

[reef canyon]

because i ship them

[rich sapphire]

Do you bring a protractor to every tournament too?

[loud dome]

Bullet does not count

[dull blaze]

honestly chess players are really stingy about adjusting their pieces and stuff

[somber lark]

or lower

[dull blaze]

like bro fixing your knights will NOT make you calculate better

[loud dome]

I use the chess clock as help

[obtuse sandal]

😭🤑

[dull blaze]

average speedophile

[loud dome]

Brainrot 100

[dull blaze]

my bullet is 200 lower than my blitz

take that for my demon speed

[quiet nimbus]

jfc you have a problem

[rich sapphire]

What side do you put the clock on when you play as black? Your left or right? Did you know you can change the position of the clock as black?

[obtuse sandal]

i know my blitz can be 2000+, those damn ponys really piss me off

[dull blaze]

black gets the preferred side

[rich sapphire]

That's what I meant

[quiet nimbus]

if you are right handed u put it on ur right side

[dull blaze]

yeah, thats standard

[quiet nimbus]

bc then you can hit the clock faster

[rich sapphire]

The question was what side you put it on

[loud dome]

I will put it behind me

[dull blaze]

right side

honestly i kinda like playing black over white

[quiet nimbus]

I will put the clock on the ceiling that way the 6 yr old indian kid im probably playing against is too short to reach it and now I will win on time

[loud dome]

Depends on the opening for me

[rich sapphire]

Me personally, I tend to put my face in my right hand, so the left side works for me when I make moves with my left hand

[dull blaze]

like if i'm in a classical game or rapid and i'm playing white

and I end up equalizing

I just start getting pissed off

[loud dome]

Most of the time you don't even know if opponent equalized or not

[quiet nimbus]

what

[rich sapphire]

White lost on move one. Reason: flagged

[dull blaze]

eh you definitely do

[dull blaze]

its a real thing im just like

[quiet nimbus]

ur supposed to be equal out of the oppening tho

the game is a draw when played perfectly

[somber lark]

💀

[dull blaze]

i'm talking about practical equality

as white you should have a small edge somewhere

[rich sapphire]

Why didn't you play a3?

Wait not you

Danya the disrespectful 🥶

[somber lark]

He lost RvsR endgame

[rich sapphire]

Would never happen in 3+2

[quiet nimbus]

this is downright insulting lmao

[rich sapphire]

But everybody plays 3+0

[loud dome]

3+2 is goated

[somber lark]

let bro tilt

[magic shard]

does anyone remember the clip of danya commentates about the queen's gambit scene where beth beats the guys in blitz
I can't seem to find it anywhere

[dull blaze]

3+2 is the worst time control ever

actually no 2+1 is worse

[rich sapphire]

Can't see what's wrong with it

[loud dome]

How can you say that when 10+0.1 exists

[tranquil basin]

Alr imma go down now

https://view.livechesscloud.com/#833e02a0-4bf2-4772-a2c7-fb8e47ac0adc

[dull blaze]

degenerates gotta play something

[quiet nimbus]

wtf is the point of a +0.1 increment

[tranquil basin]

Time to cook

[loud dome]

No time loss when you premove

[somber lark]

bro won 🫡

[dull blaze]

cause normally when you play 10 sec you only get +1 or +2 but with that 0.1 it becomes the normal +8

[magic shard]

cheats the ultrabullet rating sensitivity

[loud dome]

I don't think that's true but idk

[magic shard]

allows people to get super high bullet ratings

[dull blaze]

i'm like 99% sure

[loud dome]

That is so stupid

[dull blaze]

not really

bullet rating doesnt have much value anyway

[loud dome]

I mean why did cc not think about +0.1

[magic shard]

they haven't fixed it yet have they

[loud dome]

They don't need to I guess because of the hyperbullet rating they are working on

[magic shard]

at least they're working on it

[willow owl]

mornin everybody

[dull blaze]

how do you know they're working on it

[dull blaze]

good night

[loud dome]

Hi

[loud dome]

A mod told me in a forum post

From what time and below?

[rain lantern]

[distant pelican]

I'mma have a break from chess. My health is sucky sucky.

[signal oasis]

Chat I need some1 to help me prep for freestyle

I have the position but idk how to prep , it's my first tournament

Irl

[zenith hound]

can i help

[signal oasis]

Sure but what's ur rating?

[pallid chasm]

I mean normally fianchettoing the queen is typical

[zenith hound]

<@&745328830649991179> can i pls have my name back

[zenith hound]

2733

[signal oasis]

Yea but the position is kinda wierd and the organised have made castling not allowed

[signal oasis]

Alright Amma show u the position

[pallid chasm]

What's the position then

[signal oasis]

Lemme send a pic

[zenith hound]

alr

[signal oasis]

this

[exotic fossil]

wtf

[signal oasis]

1 f3 or 1 e4 looks good for white

[pallid chasm]

b3 maybe

[signal oasis]

some lower rataeds might blunder qa7

lmao

[mint adder]

chess 960 🥀

[signal oasis]

wb nb3 instead of b3?

[pallid chasm]

Fianchettoing the bishop is better

[jovial perch]

Est ce que il y a des français

???

[zenith hound]

i agree

[signal oasis]

oh yea

[nimble arch]

b4 might be better than b3 ngl

[signal oasis]

i forgot boutthe bishop

[jovial perch]

Est ce que il y a des français

[signal oasis]

b4 he has a5

[nimble arch]

That way you can still play Nb3

[mint adder]

!eng

[glass robin]

Please only speak English in chat! This way, everyone can participate in the conversation and the chat can be moderated properly. Thanks for your understanding!

[signal oasis]

c6 a5

[nimble arch]

a5 doesnt do anything it dont matter

[signal oasis]

f5 too

u gotta play nc3

or nb3

but yea

b4 seems better

[jovial perch]

Do you speak French

[signal oasis]

since the a1 knight cant develop after b3

[nimble arch]

The plan for b4 was so Nb3 could be played that way the pawn doesnt block it

[jovial perch]

Whos is French

[pallid chasm]

I was thinking about b4 Bb2 Nb3 c4 Nc3

[signal oasis]

the engine is reccomending b4 f5 nb3 e5 and to play f4

[nimble arch]

Lets goo i can find good moves

[pallid chasm]

No one will play f5

[nimble arch]

F5 makes sence

[signal oasis]

f5 is kinda standard to attack a2

[nimble arch]

You target a2

[signal oasis]

u play f4 and if they take , qa7 wins

[round schooner]

can anyone tell me what mistakes i made here? i was black. https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/141120893236/review

[pallid chasm]

Yeah but it's easy to defend the pawn

[nimble arch]

And still a good move lol

[signal oasis]

true but some weaker players might miss it

and its the engine's choice

[pallid chasm]

Don't you guys have time to prepare?

[signal oasis]

most will prep the position

[pallid chasm]

So how can they miss it

[signal oasis]

yea its tmrw

unrated players dont prep as much yk

[pallid chasm]

Idk tbh I played 1 game of Chess960

[signal oasis]

damn

[pallid chasm]

Maybe 2 games

[signal oasis]

yo , u there?

[zenith hound]

maybe

[signal oasis]

here nb6 is the only move that doesnt give a immediate advantage

[pallid chasm]

Just don't blunder the rook on e1

For example don't play g4

[kindred crypt]

[zenith hound]

5 seconds with a 1 second increment

[spiral root]

@kindred crypt gimme another i was lagging

[mortal bronze]

lol

why the increment?

[spring lion]

Whats ur rating

[zenith hound]

game would end in 5 seconds without it

[mortal bronze]

it's literally slower than ub then...

[mortal bronze]

10 but yeah

that's the point no?

[zenith hound]

no i don’t want to win on time

[mortal bronze]

1/12+1 is just the same as 1+0 i think or ½+0 i think

except dirty flagging is much more difficult

[spiral root]

@kindred crypt where are you

[willow owl]

Morning kellister

[mortal bronze]

hii beans. good morning

[zenith hound]

[sweet condor]

dang

[willow owl]

I mean ten Elo is ten Elo. Better than losing 40 😭

[mortal bronze]

yess

[sweet condor]

I only earn 8

[willow owl]

Also at 600 its a lot easier to improve

[rich sun]

I play classical🦅

[willow owl]

So no need to worry just do your puzzles and you should be good

[zealous marsh]

10 for 50+ games is so bad omg 🥀

[cosmic quest]

there are so many 2000+ now vro

[zealous marsh]

I choked so many games

[mortal bronze]

the format he plays is slower than ub because he uses increment

[willow owl]

50+ games?💀

[zenith hound]

600 is closer to 2000 than it is to 1000

[zealous marsh]

???

[willow owl]

And people say chess players are good at math

[rich sun]

😭😭🙏

[zenith hound]

i meant 600 is closer to 2000 than it is to 100

[willow owl]

Thats great. Hope you recover soon

[rich sun]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[zealous marsh]

100 and 600 is virtually the same, 600 just knows how to move the pieces

[cosmic quest]

ts is crazy

[mortal bronze]

what is bro talking about 😭

[willow owl]

💀

[mortal bronze]

i have recovered

[spiral root]

Someone play

[willow owl]

This guy cant be fr

[zenith hound]

my bad chat i forgot how PEMDAS works

[zealous marsh]

2000 is SO MUCH BETTER than 600

[willow owl]

Ah i see then

[willow owl]

Bro you dont need to know pemdas to do subtraction 😭

[zealous marsh]

That might be up there with one of the worst takes ever in this chat 😭

[zenith hound]

no i wasn’t subtracting i was just comparing the difference between 600 to 2000 to 1000 to 10

[safe kraken]

It's been a good week for rapid. Granted i havent played much games this week, but still 70% win rate, if you look me up, im at 80% for white this week and 59% for black. Even my 30/90 day progress has me a decent chunk over 50% win rate. I'm stoked I finally crossed over 1700 elo in rapid. Did it in blitz a few weeks ago then dropped alot, finally starting to catch back up. I think one thing I'm beginning to find out is that 16-1700 blitz is harder than rapid. Maybe it's just that I have more time to think or perhaps the player pool in that range for blitz is much tougher, like I've played opponents that had much higher rapid ratings.

[willow owl]

Bro what

[zealous marsh]

Nothing you say will help you dude, and what the hell are you on even

[mortal bronze]

he's just joking

[inner wyvern]

Hi everyone, I'm a 17yo guy

I love chess since my childhood,

I played it occasionally on board with my friends..(20 games a year)..

Since last 2 years i actually started to learn and improve myself, i watched yt..learn the easy theories, i jumped from 500 elo to 1300 elo in 4 months

I was kinda addicted to chess,

During my board exams (very important exam for an Indian kiddo) i starter hallucinating of chess games, moves etc..it

Ruined my brain in my daily life especially during my sleep(dreams) ..i quit chess after that..my life slowly became good, but i still played chess occasionally and followed every video of chess base India bcz of sagar bhai commentary.

After 6 months of quitting chess, I started playing chess regularly again..and now i have a bad migraine and fever and all the hallucinations i had back then.

Any tips to improve my life??

[zealous marsh]

THE HELL

[willow owl]

I hope so😭

basically i was trying to tell him that 600 is closer to super grandmaster than grandmaster

[pure flame]

Bro wrote his life story, Idk moderate your time in chess to maximum 3 hours a day

[mortal bronze]

any steps to improve my life??

quit chess. that's the best advice you will get here.

[zealous marsh]

I need to know what kinda crack you're on

[cosmic quest]

quit chess completely

[pure flame]

Why only +33 with that winrate?

[zenith hound]

gain aura

[safe kraken]

Because I got up to 1697 then dropped

[cosmic quest]

kind of ironic how i didnt see this message and immediately recommended quitting

[pure flame]

I mean he can keep playing, just not 10hrs a day ya know

[zealous marsh]

Could honestly be tournaments where the dude farms low elo opponents

[cosmic quest]

you play 10 hours a day????

[zealous marsh]

and then choke from time to time

[willow owl]

Idk really never heard of getting hallucinations about chess in your day to day life but yeah maybe stop playing as much

[pure flame]

Makes sense

[mortal bronze]

it's common sense 🤷🏻‍♂️

[zenith hound]

that’s my crack dealer

[safe kraken]

Actually just checked i started the week with 1681

[inner wyvern]

Ig it's the only way now, donno how the pros keep up their minds stable, thanku for the suggestions..ig i hv to quit chess 😭❤️

[pure flame]

Ive had days in vacation with at minimum 7 hrs, 😂

[zenith hound]

the hallucinations are NOT from the board 🥀😭😔💔

[cosmic quest]

are you insane vro

[willow owl]

Im pretty sure doesn't

[mortal bronze]

i used to do that too when i was like 10. but i used to spend most time day dreaming

[weak meadow]

<@&745328830649991179>

[cosmic quest]

[weak meadow]

[mortal bronze]

[zealous marsh]

[weak meadow]

[spiral root]

Can someone play me. Right now

[zenith hound]

bro it was a joke bc they said i did bad stuff

[mortal bronze]

🤭

[azure pivot]

ts tough 🥶

[pure flame]

At that point sometimes I started having dreams about chess, luckily not that bad anymore 😅

[cosmic quest]

thats crazy

take a break y'all 😭

[willow owl]

Show your opponents accuracy 😭

[zealous marsh]

Did allat only to come back to 2245 bullet

[zenith hound]

i also dream about chess and i can report it is miserable waking up every thirty minutes searching for a best move

[mortal bronze]

having dreams about chess is normal i think

[zealous marsh]

I fully untilted over here

[mortal bronze]

i have been having those too lately

[cosmic quest]

i never had dreams about chess

[pure flame]

I mean I improved from 2000 to 2200 rapid and like 1800-2100 blitz in that period, so overall a success in my book

[zealous marsh]

Chess dreams are for weirdos tbh

[azure pivot]

[zenith hound]

it’s just raw board for me like i don’t play with somebody it’s always positions

[cosmic quest]

thats kinda weird 😭

[zealous marsh]

No clue how you even dream about a chess game

[willow owl]

Dude what rating are you?

[mortal bronze]

hey!

it's normal

[pure flame]

Nah just dreams about some equal positions where you are wondering about which move is best, pretty normal right 💀

[zenith hound]

the positions aren’t special and it’s not like i’m getting better in my sleep

[zealous marsh]

Chess ain't that deep 🥀

[safe kraken]

You know come to think of it, you're right, not sure how i won 23 games, lost 7, drew 3 and still only gained 33. like thats net 16 so only 2 elo each. I got gypped lol 😂

[willow owl]

I have done it sometime but not regularly i would say. And usually other wierd stuff is also going on at the same time

[mortal bronze]

it's normal if you play chess enough i think

[cosmic quest]

ig i fell off bruh

[zealous marsh]

I mean... The last time I remembered what I was dreaming, I got stabbed to death so...

[willow owl]

Ig i dont play enough chess then🙏

[mortal bronze]

that's a good thing

[willow owl]

My dreams always end up with me getting killed somehow

[zenith hound]

i played chess so much one time that when i walked diagonally it literally felt like i was a bishop 😭🥀💔😔

[mortal bronze]

:<

[cosmic quest]

yall are wilding

[willow owl]

But like im in this wierd middle zone. I dont play enough chess for me to improve a lot but i dont play so little that its just a time to time hobby and it does take away a lot of time from my life

[mortal bronze]

how much to you play?

[pure flame]

Idk, today Im playing OTB, hopefully I get the prep on the board, I prepped dragon sicilian with white till like move +-20

Round 5 in the tourney and Im 3/4

[mortal bronze]

do*

[zealous marsh]

Imagine dreaming about living a normal life, then one thing led to another, and you become a serial killer hunted by the FBI. I felt the gunshot that took me down when I woke up 🥀

[mortal bronze]

good luck

[zealous marsh]

gl

[willow owl]

My dreams are so abstract its ridiculous. Got killed by a fountain spraying too hard on me

[pure flame]

Yeah kinda need it, playibg against a kid ...

[zenith hound]

when i was locked into chess it was my full schedule, i would wake up, watch hikaru, play games or study positions, and then fall asleep to hikaru hours later and NEVER had hallucinations so i think it’s like psychologically like people with ocd maybe idk

maybe schizophrenia

[simple slate]

i thought esipenko is supposedly 2.5-1.5 against magnus when did they play up to 10 classical games?

[burnt flare]

Hi

[odd eagle]

what a weird brilliant 🥀

[zealous marsh]

Not as weird as me dreaming about myself and my dead grandma being pictured in "the last supper"

[willow owl]

Idk like 3-5 hours maybe during the summer but maybe 2-3 during school

[mortal bronze]

sacrificing material without it affecting the eval = brilliant

[mortal bronze]

that's more than enough to improve

[zenith hound]

help me

[willow owl]

Tbf not that wierd i had a dream where I was like the sleeping beauty and my castle was raided by a bunch of goblins that were run by Elon Musk or smth and then they kidnapped me and ate me

[mortal bronze]

[willow owl]

Like idk how my brain comes up with this

But somehow it does

[zenith hound]

[mortal bronze]

[willow owl]

Cuz i dont feel like improving a lot my progress is pretty slow

[mortal bronze]

what's stopping you now

[zenith hound]

[safe kraken]

Actually I checked again lol... My first game I was 1589 so the amount gained is oddly incorrect, probably because i ended the day at 1681
