[raw mantle]

Declined?

[brittle monolith]

[feral kite]

so many moves are valid in that position lollll

[small jungle]

Objectively yes

[raw mantle]

Yea ik

[feral kite]

c6 and e6 are the main ones

[loud dome]

There are many valid responses

[fleet dove]

the grunfeld

[raw mantle]

What was that

[brittle monolith]

you can try : )

[small jungle]

[brittle monolith]

resigning

[raw mantle]

Fr

[loud dome]

https://www.chess.com/openings/Grunfeld-Defense

[feral kite]

grunfeld is nice if you like sharp games

[icy niche]

Alr I will send I have a problem here

[fleet dove]

at your elo you should in fact not play the grunfeld

[raw mantle]

Ik

[small jungle]

Play nimzo vro

[feral kite]

whats their elo

[raw mantle]

Ppl at my level don't know openings

[feral kite]

oh.

[fleet dove]

don't play this either

[raw mantle]

850

[patent patrol]

What dat gotta do wit me

[feral kite]

i don't think u should play any indian defenses at that elo ngl

[fleet dove]

agreed!

stick to classical chess no need for hypermodernism

[brittle monolith]

kid is good at all levels

[loud dome]

QGD and chill

[fleet dove]

it's not

[patent patrol]

Fr

[brittle monolith]

just follow a basic structure and it helps avoid blunders

[patent patrol]

None of that riff raff PASS THE BALL PLAYA 🗣️

[feral kite]

yeah but converting that structure to advantage is rlly hard at low elo

[small jungle]

Mikenas defense vro trust

[empty fulcrum]

on chessmonitor are there any countries you do particularly well against?

[brittle monolith]

thats the least concern at lower elos bro lmao

[small jungle]

Low elo is just not blundering tactics pawn structures be damned

[icy niche]

@brittle monolith I sent

[feral kite]

letting ur opponent take the center at low elo leaves you way more vulnerable to blundering IMO

[loud dome]

There is the world map but is there a wr by country?

[small jungle]

Yes

[empty fulcrum]

yeah, scroll down

[small jungle]

Vro doesn't know💀

[brittle monolith]

didnt get, it doesnt even show u as a friend here

[loud dome]

On mobile it doesn't show

[brittle monolith]

maybe my issue but my net seems fine tho

[empty fulcrum]

i do unusually well against indonesia and phillipines

[small jungle]

It does on web

[patent patrol]

You doin too much dribbling pass the rock young blood

[past junco]

damn

[loud dome]

I am using the browser

[icy niche]

Request then me I have u added

[small jungle]

Then you have a bad browser

[brittle monolith]

cant see how blundering has a co-relation with not having centre control

[loud dome]

Firefox is goated

I found it

I need to click on the country on the map itself

[brittle monolith]

https://www.chess.com/member/harukitakahara

[fleet dove]

no control over center = pieces more cramped -> low elo players not knowing what to do in closed positions -> try to lash out and end up blundering

[empty fulcrum]

but i have a bad record against brazilians for some reason?

[empty fulcrum]

changed it to low elo players 😭

[past junco]

I have a similar case w Indians ngl

[loud dome]

The stats are not really useful as it doesn't show average rating of opponents

[past junco]

I do rely badly against any Indian player

[fleet dove]

I could've left it as is lmfao

closed positions are hard in general

[brittle monolith]

cant even send challenge link

[patent patrol]

I beat Indian ppl more often which is uncommon here somehow. Polish and french ppl usually do well against me I notice

[brittle monolith]

nvm

[empty fulcrum]

i feel like understanding space in chess can win you a lot of games

ive been winning lots of games by playing well while having a space advantage recently

[past junco]

ig Indian people just play chess better on average

[patent patrol]

space is kinda stupid

[upbeat portal]

@fleet dove I started playing the way you told me

[loud dome]

China is cooking me

[small jungle]

Why understand space when you can swindle

[fleet dove]

how did that work out for you

[patent patrol]

Frrr

[past junco]

what's the website?

[empty fulcrum]

i feel like for me, brazilians generally play pretty risky chess which i guess doesnt suit me

[patent patrol]

Why understand space when u can break it on move 15

[upbeat portal]

My games are so much more solid

[brittle monolith]

where can we see this?

[empty fulcrum]

same for me, but the sample size is pretty low, only like 10 games

[loud dome]

https://www.chessmonitor.com

[past junco]

ty

[empty fulcrum]

?

[upbeat portal]

I even beat li bot

[fleet dove]

see? sometimes you just have to make moves

[small jungle]

Play like tal vro trust

[patent patrol]

Just little stars and stuff small dots who cares. And I am girnoemrous

[fleet dove]

I think the rise of computers has done something terrible to chess pedagogy

[loud dome]

Another bad score

[fleet dove]

That being people focus a lot more on specifics and concrete details

[empty fulcrum]

ok

[fleet dove]

rather than general themes/maxims

[feral kite]

oh my

[fleet dove]

Which I think is a way easier way to improve/think about chess

[willow owl]

Why?

[fleet dove]

with themes/maxims you could probably win chess games without calculating a single line

[fleet dove]

For the reason I just listed

[past junco]

I do really badly against Americans too thats crazy

[upbeat portal]

Thinking about chess strategy is just like programming, some elses and some ifs

[fleet dove]

flowchart type shit

[willow owl]

What are themes and maxims?

[fleet dove]

stuff like "rooks belong on the open files"

[patent patrol]

I believe in activity more than i believe in space

[fleet dove]

"put your pieces in the center where they will exert maximum control over the center"

[feral kite]

jesus

[loud dome]

Hangs rook and back rank mate

[small jungle]

I believe in activity not material🐺

[fleet dove]

just don't hang mate then

[past junco]

kinda impressive for me ngl

[loud dome]

Only 12 games though

[feral kite]

I PLAY 2 OPENINGS

[fleet dove]

What the hell are they putting in the water in turkey

[past junco]

still its not that great for me

bc I don't play many games to begin with

[loud dome]

I get a lot of Americans

[patent patrol]

Turkish ppl play well

[willow owl]

Ah i see yeah that is true that themes and such are the most important to improve. Ig it is mostly applicable to intermediate players though

[fleet dove]

It's most applicable to beginners

Because beginners have 0 sense of chess intuition

[patent patrol]

Pawns belong in rows of some sort fr

[fleet dove]

are you american

[willow owl]

Some intermediates also struggle with rook on open files and doubles and isolated pawns

[loud dome]

German

[fleet dove]

italian name/plays americans/is german

checks out

[patent patrol]

What’s next Japanese phone

[past junco]

it makes sense I mean

[loud dome]

Chinese

[fleet dove]

but less so than beginners

[viral egret]

I like queenless middlegames and boring endgames :3

[small jungle]

I like swindling my opps

[patent patrol]

The goal is to teach you those concepts so you know when to apply and ignore them

[fleet dove]

azerbaijan eat my ass

[willow owl]

True true. Engines and computer chess really has not changed the beginner levels of chess

[upbeat portal]

There's this game that lets you program your character's actions, I think maybe the logic is helping me with chess

[past junco]

ok Viktor Lustig

[viral egret]

Goofy ahh scripting language

[willow owl]

Gn @fleet dove

[loud dome]

This one guy

[past junco]

can you percieve things just from code alone?

[past junco]

they're chads ofc you'd lose

[potent gulch]

I'm the furry itself

[past junco]

I wouldn't win against them either

[upbeat portal]

Yes

[small jungle]

Ain't no way it's apro

[viral egret]

Nuh uh, I am

[potent gulch]

Whyyy 😭

[willow owl]

Bro decided to pull up

[past junco]

jesus that's tuff

[potent gulch]

Nuh uhhhh me win

[past junco]

I did coding for a class in school and I struggled w it so hard icl

[willow owl]

The prophecy has come true. Apro has returned

[plucky kelp]

HII APRO!! :3

[small jungle]

U haven't been here for quite some time

[past junco]

they're just text

[empty fulcrum]

one simple principle ive overlooked or not really thought about until recently is that if you have a space advantage you should avoid trades, its a really powerful principle

[viral egret]

I’ve been a furry longer than you’ve been alive smh

[potent gulch]

I was walking around and found someone talking about furries

[upbeat portal]

Actually it's just like reading a manual you're writing

[feral kite]

DAMN

[potent gulch]

HEWOOOO

[fleet dove]

pce out girl scout

[potent gulch]

Oh ye makes sense 😔💔

[warped perch]

hai hai

[upbeat portal]

With time you learn to find contradictions in your code

[fleet dove]

Yes that is a great principle that many don't think about

[warped perch]

Someone teach me chess ✌

[potent gulch]

Lies lies, I have been born before the universe

[willow owl]

You indeed are the best cart in the server @plucky kelp

[past junco]

I see

[viral egret]

Biggest thing is being able to visualize what your code does before running it

[empty fulcrum]

you got any other good principles @fleet dove ?

[willow owl]

@safe folio can prob help

[small jungle]

You were doing pipi in your pampers while I was beating players much stronger than you🐺

[willow owl]

Btw gn @plucky kelp

please share

[kindred crypt]

https://www.chess.com/member/Kalinigradgazavtomatika i just played this dude

[fleet dove]

one off the top of my head is the bishop pair

[warped perch]

My crush told me to play chess w him but i dunno how

[kindred crypt]

and how isint he banned

[plucky kelp]

Btw I am 4/8 in my OTB tournament right now

[past junco]

insane username

[small jungle]

Are you winning son

[fleet dove]

If you have the bishop pair, you want to keep the position open, exchange one of the bishops at a favorable moment and play agaisnt the knight

[kindred crypt]

insane cheats also

[fleet dove]

If you are playing against the bishop pair then you want the position to remain closed, to trade off one of the bishops to your benefit and keep your knight active

[small jungle]

Ngl bishops are so op in the endgame

[waxen wraith]

what is questionmark

[small jungle]

I realised it a bit late

[empty fulcrum]

excellent stuff

[potent gulch]

That actually has to do with my chess 😭, it's because I'm quite tilted ngl, but I'm recovering from it

[fleet dove]

bishop pair vs bishop + knight with same pawns/pawn structure is a win for the bishop pair

but a draw if both sides have bishop + knight

[small jungle]

You'll be 1900 soon vro trust

[past junco]

play the scholars mate and he'll be impressed or better yet, play Vienna game of the Max Lange variation

[waxen wraith]

bishops are really good in general i like them more than knights

[plucky kelp]

Youll be 1900 soon!!

[past junco]

really?

[small jungle]

Depends

[potent gulch]

Hopefully 😭

[small jungle]

If your knight has an outpost on the 6th rank god have mercy on them

[kindred crypt]

Learn the Italian

[azure pivot]

computer gives 0.0 which side you taking

[potent gulch]

I just has to stop blundering winning positionsss fr 😭🙏 bro, today I literally hanged a bishop after turning into a capablanca and sacrificing the exchange for the bishop pair just to bludner it!!!! 😭

[warped perch]

NO

[small jungle]

Learn opening principles and learn basic tactics

[waxen wraith]

i think 50% only get to 800 elo so 1k is Whittaker rights for 60%

[fleet dove]

guys wtf since when did they rename the janowski to the magnus queen's gambit

this is an insane name change

[hollow horizon]

How can I move a knight from the black square!?

[kindred crypt]

lets run bullet i want to try and adopt

[fleet dove]

this had to have been recent

[patent patrol]

Not home

[small jungle]

Janowski sounds better

[potent gulch]

Totally relatable, me and Gotham have so much incomum

[fleet dove]

yea I don't like the change

[plucky kelp]

They could have put his name in the norwegian rat gambit but instead they put it in that😭

[fleet dove]

app vs browser

[patent patrol]

Shitty gambit whoever carlsen was must be a dunce for them to name it after him

[thorn dune]

Hi guys

Can someone help me?

[plucky kelp]

Sure! With what?

[fleet dove]

gambit !?

[thorn dune]

Go to #💬〡general-off-topic because j can’t send a media here

[patent patrol]

Ur sacrificing the c pawn

[plucky kelp]

You need to connect your chess.com account to discord to send images here

[thorn dune]

Oh ok

[fleet dove]

the opening is based on what black does not white

[thorn dune]

Can you just wait a minute?

[patent patrol]

Queens gambit

[plucky kelp]

Ok

[fleet dove]

no it's magnus queens gambit, and it's only called that after 3...a6

so it's based on black

[patent patrol]

What’s the gambit then

[fleet dove]

that's what I'm asking you for

[patent patrol]

C pawn sacrifice

[fleet dove]

no

[plucky kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-16258174987336597266

[patent patrol]

I’ve had this argument before

Why do yall genuinely not know why the queens gambit is called that

[hollow horizon]

#tiktok #chess #2019 #viral #new #follow4follow

[patent patrol]

Idc if u get the pawn u give it away move 2

[plucky kelp]

Queen gambit for white
Changes to magnus queen gambit after black move.
Why????

[patent patrol]

a6

but why is it a gambit

[hollow horizon]

Because in 1923 11 january, a game between magnus vs Hans

[thorn dune]

So basically which move do I do next for white and which tactic do I use?

[plucky kelp]

I was there for that match. Was spectacular to watch

[patent patrol]

Huuuushmode

[thorn dune]

.

[plucky kelp]

Can you like center the photo more

[thorn dune]

I can’t sorry

Or wait I can

[plucky kelp]

Also which one is the queen and which one is the king

[thorn dune]

The queen is on g3

King on e1

[plucky kelp]

Is that a bishop on h4

[potent gulch]

Oh ye, I sent that like two days ago but the chat was kinda dead, look at that crazy chess position, black to move and draw, only 1 move

[small jungle]

Yes

[small jungle]

@plucky kelp solve it

[thorn dune]

Yes

[plucky kelp]

I have come to the conclusion: thats just a free pawn on f4. Knight takes f4

[plucky kelp]

Ok

[thorn dune]

Thank you so much!

[young swan]

ik it is, but in a bullet game with 6.3 seconds as a 1000

i found it in 1.1 seconds

[potent gulch]

||ilegal move 💔||

Jk

[patent patrol]

Wherever the knight can go just use ur own reasoning

[young swan]

Takes

[somber lark]

[raven sinew]

2594 and I couldnt lock it in bro

[somber lark]

did you tilt

[raven sinew]

I cant believe it I could've retired if I had won that one game

[raven sinew]

Yes bro

I lost that game and then I went to try and get it back but in the next game my god damn wifi cut out im not even joking

And that led to me tilting more

Now im 2560

[somber lark]

sad

[raven sinew]

Im so upset bro

I had it in my grasp

[young swan]

@potent gulch ?

[potent gulch]

||ne4 h8=q and black looses because he might give some checks with the bishop but no progress and white's just up a queen, after the checks runs out white will eventually win a piece and checkmate black very soon||

[raven sinew]

2600 was mine

[somber lark]

still is

[potent gulch]

@patent patrol

[plucky kelp]

FOUND IT! It's Nh5

[potent gulch]

||a7 he'll queen..||

[young swan]

Nh5 h8=Q Bxh8 a7 Be5+ and its draw

[somber lark]

bro is cooking mishra 💀

[potent gulch]

Almost almost

[hexed ocean]

anyone up for a bullet game

[young swan]

I'm correct man

[potent gulch]

Idk why am spoiling the texts, e8=q what now

[young swan]

Be5+ if Kh1 Ng3+ is draw

Be5+ if Kh3 its MATE to BG3!!!

[plucky kelp]

e8? 😭

[young swan]

He ment h8 prolly

[plucky kelp]

Anyways the line I was torn with was Nh5 Kh3... but there's just Nf4+ there

[young swan]

Yeah forced draw

[potent gulch]

@young swan king hides and the pawn promotes

[young swan]

Man, Nh5 h8=Q Bxh8 a7 Be5+

[young swan]

Where does the king hide??

Kh1 Ng3 Kh2 Nh5 draw

[potent gulch]

I MEAN H8 😭

[young swan]

Kh3 Bg3 and Nf4 mate

[plucky kelp]

Im really confused where the king hides

[young swan]

I checked eval its correct man

Nh5 is the move

[plucky kelp]

Bro cheated

[young swan]

Neh, I checked it after I said the move

[plucky kelp]

Alright

[patent patrol]

French better than Caro

[potent gulch]

Kh1 is supposed to be the win ig I might have missed something 😭

If ur a caro player ur likely to try and turn it into a french lol

or go a similar path

[small jungle]

Nah never

[young swan]

@potent gulch

[plucky kelp]

Caro players play the french but with bad bishop being good bishop

I might do this in a tournament one day just to see how it feels like

[patent patrol]

Point proven then

[plucky kelp]

Apro chess tournament arc???

[small jungle]

I mean advanced caro is similar yes

Unless they play tal or any other sideline

Classical is quite different

[balmy python]

opponent is gonna be like “this mf tweakin”

[patent patrol]

Classical is c6 instead of e6 only difference

[potent gulch]

I love those one move only endgame, that actually was a simple one after u finds it, but there are some I only understand after re seeing the answer

[young swan]

Fischer on left ryt?

[patent patrol]

And I think e6 has more stabilization but both r fine openings

[small jungle]

Exchange caro and French are different

[patent patrol]

After nxe4

[potent gulch]

What does that mean 😭

[small jungle]

Fantasy is a joke so I don't count that

[plucky kelp]

Me wheb the

[potent gulch]

Lol 😭

[small jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/the-um-gif-24376321

[potent gulch]

😭🙏

[patent patrol]

ya it’s just better to work with the center pawn over the flank one imo but in exchange lines it’s the same thing basically different open file

[potent gulch]

Holy crap

[plucky kelp]

You will never guess the opening this 60 move draw game happened

[patent patrol]

Hard to call it diff cuz I’ll just be doing the same thing as white

[visual lichen]

I just played the most legendary knight underpromotion of my life

[small jungle]

Well you get the carlsbad structure in caro

[potent gulch]

Petrof

[small jungle]

Alien gambit

[patent patrol]

Idk what the Carlsbad structure is man

[young swan]

Cc should do propaganda for this server

[patent patrol]

Idk what any chess or pawn structures are besides pawn cube

[potent gulch]

Nah otherwise it'd be very high eval at the opening

[patent patrol]

Pawn cube connect 4

[plucky kelp]

Torbith (1888) vs random guy in OTB (2132)
90+30 time control

[small jungle]

You're get this in caro but with black

[potent gulch]

There's a video about endgames that Dani made he talks about it

[young swan]

Yeah I myself dont know pawn structures

[patent patrol]

Why would white play e3 is what makes my stomach hurt here

Cuz this is just a colle system when I imagine pieces there

[small jungle]

Also happens in queens gambit

[potent gulch]

Ohhhh it was a Sicilian!!! Against a 2132 😭 holyy

[patent patrol]

It’s only for black?

[small jungle]

You just start a minority attack on the queenside

[small jungle]

For both

[plucky kelp]

Ok this looks like a queen's gambit pawn structure😭

[patent patrol]

Ok then

Yea I just

Make it work fr idk

[potent gulch]

Fr fr

[patent patrol]

I do that stuff but idk the name of it

[small jungle]

As black you just push queenside pawns

[young swan]

My chess book js arrived

[small jungle]

You buy chess books?

[patent patrol]

I’m a good endgamer

[young swan]

Well yeah this was my second book

[plucky kelp]

[patent patrol]

I stay away from the locked down caro tho for the most part

[potent gulch]

It's always inside me waiting for it's moment

[small jungle]

Wdym locked down caro

[hexed ocean]

anyway would anyone like a rapid game

[patent patrol]

I play the classical most times and the Tal sometimes with c4 and try to attack

[young swan]

Dvoretsky's endgame manual

[small jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/alpha-gif-17882209849537708463

Wait that doesnt make sense

[small jungle]

[plucky kelp]

What if I was in antartica

[patent patrol]

I just never get the caro that much idk why

[junior anchor]

May i be forgiven for such stalemate😭

[plucky kelp]

Also not a bad idea

[small jungle]

[magic merlin]

[plucky kelp]

Bongcloud

[junior anchor]

Duras gambit

[violet herald]

modern defense

[magic shard]

you don't need a new opening for bullet

[stray stag]

Heyy how can I get the GM banner?

[kindred crypt]

yay

[junior anchor]

That works too absolutely hate playing against it in bullet

[violet herald]

click on the chess.com banner, a drop down should come and press adopt tag

[small jungle]

f6 g5

[potent gulch]

I'm deliriant, I thought that qc5 wins a rook

[pure flame]

Today I won vs a 13 y/o old, whilst we were both on low time and he blundered

Tmmrw I will be playing on board 2, Im kinda hyped 😃

[plucky kelp]

Qf2 isnt even mate

[potent gulch]

Elephant gambit

[small jungle]

This isn't caro vro💀

[junior anchor]

[small jungle]

What variation

[potent gulch]

Forgive my sleepy weirdo brain 💔😔

[plucky kelp]

I actually play that!

[stray stag]

can anyone tell me how can I get the GM banner?

[junior anchor]

Exchange

[small jungle]

Whys your light square bishop locked in

You always bring it out

[potent gulch]

First time I faced it sounded like I should quit chess cuz I got crushed so badly 😭

[plucky kelp]

When do you think she'll let you go off the pfp matching

[junior anchor]

Because knight wasn't there

[pure flame]

Idk this is you misplaying its not the opening

[magic merlin]

i dont think the scandinavian defense will be good for 1100+

[magic shard]

you'll be fine

[junior anchor]

It was the opening but opponent misplay and me misplay created it

[plucky kelp]

Did bro just spell the whole name correctly so casually

[potent gulch]

No idea 😭, ig I'll just Lowkey change it and pretend nothing happened

[heady grove]

New peak rating!

[magic shard]

[violet herald]

[plucky kelp]

Scandinivian

[worldly tangle]

Best d file you will ever see

Scandi is fine, as long as you know it well. Like unless you are 2300+ or like 2200+ FIDE then maybe not so much, but still a surprise weapon

[junior anchor]

Congrats

[kindred crypt]

sveshnikov

[potent gulch]

[junior anchor]

[small jungle]

You always bring out the light bishop before playing e6

[kindred crypt]

nipomianchi

lol

[junior anchor]

I know my other stats are low but bullet is kinda impressive

[potent gulch]

Ig I already saw your pfp before

[pure flame]

That doesnt mean you should stop playing it, just study your lines ...

[junior anchor]

[plucky kelp]

Only thing its missing is: Bd2 Rd1

[magic merlin]

[pure flame]

Skill issue

[hushed tree]

i want to know how much are you in problem

[honest copper]

hello all

[honest copper]

draw

[plucky kelp]

How is thag there are many people who get into chess and not even one week in they either put a chess pfp or put chess in their bio

[kindred crypt]

black

[honest copper]

no wait black winning

[kindred crypt]

qxe4

wins a pawn

[willow nacelle]

No clue, tbh I feel like chess is probably a low iq game anyway, why else would people ask their opponents in the server "3+1?" or "5+0?" before the game? Like as if they didn't know how to count on their fingers.. I bet if I wanted to get into chess I would beat all the top players.

[kindred crypt]

was this stolen

[honest copper]

doesn’t win a pawn but okay

[willow nacelle]

In fact I can solve MUCH more difficult problems than 3+2 or 10+0

[kindred crypt]

wdym

[honest copper]

qxe4 fxe4 bxe4 ka1 nc2 kb1

it’s down a queen but black is better

[plucky kelp]

[honest copper]

[shut agate]

Although I'm very confident in blitz otb

[pure flame]
