[kindred crypt]

That is legit the standard

[formal relic]

And its legit terrible

[kindred crypt]

How

[iron crypt]

but im still dead stuck low rating blitz

[tepid aspen]

jts bad for practicing classical but

[formal relic]

Youre playing a rapid game but you treat it like blitz and you can still lose on time very easily by not having very good time management

[tepid aspen]

what else is bad abt it

[formal relic]

Its blitz in disguise

Its not rapid, more like evil

[lusty lake]

I can’t see the bishop taking my queen lol 😂 but in terms of openings, I have the book in my head…

[celest karma]

Don't argue you know is good let them why argue with someone who wants to have right

[kindred crypt]

It trains you to think more efficiently with more time

[tepid aspen]

so youre saying your time management is poor

[celest karma]

Exactly

[formal relic]

what

[twilit dew]

I'm new how do you play chess

[lusty lake]

It is why I can’t play, just don’t have that focus anymore

[kindred crypt]

Pony moves L

[mellow lava]

My first brilliant !!!!!

[celest karma]

Let they believe what they want

[celest karma]

GG

[twilit dew]

I was looking to take up a new game and I thought chess would be a cool game to learn

[tepid aspen]

it gives you time to calculate on your intuitive positional ideas

[kindred crypt]

It is objectively correct

[twilit dew]

What that mean

Could anyone teach me how to play 🥲

[kindred crypt]

It move the L

[tepid aspen]

15 10 is somewhere in the middle

[formal relic]

Yeah but it's bad because flagging becomes too much of a factor, I dont like that in chess games it's more of a cheese factor

[kindred crypt]

Pony magic

[kindred crypt]

There’s no flagging when you’re goated

[celest karma]

I mean you can't change people when people argue they think argue is always to have right sometimes is to learn others perspective

[formal relic]

Yeah but you can flag against a person that's clearly better than the other person its dumb.

[kindred crypt]

Just win quicker than them

[kindred crypt]

Naur

[formal relic]

10 + 1 is preferable to 10 | 0 anyday

[hexed ocean]

GUYS I LEARNT AN OPENING AND MY GAME ACTUALLY HAD BOOK FOR 4 MOVES, IM 1300, THIS IS SENSASTIONAL

[nimble arch]

bros tried this like 10 times now

[formal relic]

Lame, speed is kinda overrated sometimes

[kindred crypt]

10 | 0 is for the strong

[lusty lake]

I love talking to you peeps, and yeah I’m trying to comeback… but I’ll make a blunder lol 😂 my chess was about aggression, and sacrificing… doesn’t work now

[kindred crypt]

10 minute is more than enough

[formal relic]

Its for the blitz players

[celest karma]

What opening?

[tepid aspen]

you need basic intuition at least

[celest karma]

I recommend for 2000+

[tepid aspen]

play blitz

[kindred crypt]

You should know how to play blitz and bullet when you’re in rapid

[celest karma]

[iron crypt]

i got to like +1 postion in 15+5 torunament fide against like 2 1700 and 1 1900 but i lost 2 after dropping below 3minutes lol

[plucky kelp]

@torn sparrow gg

[kindred crypt]

I’m 1650 it works well for me

[hexed ocean]

so i played a mix of the kings indian defense and queens indian defense and it transferred to the colle system

[celest karma]

[torn sparrow]

how did you abort on move 2

[kindred crypt]

Not 150

[tepid aspen]

you need to build your intuition

[plucky kelp]

i dont have any idea

[kindred crypt]

Typo

[formal relic]

I can be pretty fast sometimes but like with 10 | 0 its a completely different universe of how fast you actually need to be. Its really deceiving judging how fast you need to move because they clock goes down really fast

[kindred crypt]

It’s not

[hexed ocean]

this was the end of the book

[celest karma]

Mhmm not anyone have the same training

[formal relic]

it is

[kindred crypt]

Get better tho

[tepid aspen]

if you're prepping for classical play a classical time control

[hexed ocean]

the eval is still loading in this position

[tepid aspen]

what is the issue

[plucky kelp]

i meant to resign but it aborted instead

[iron crypt]

like 30+0?

[celest karma]

I never heard about that

[formal relic]

Winning the game because of better time management is the lamest thing in the world

[torn sparrow]

maybe if you have m1 and try to resign it happens

[hexed ocean]

the colle? or the queens or indian defenses

[lusty lake]

I played two games over the board recently, sac’ed the queen… to win with knight and bishop checkmate, while my opponent had a queen

[formal relic]

I just dont like it

[iron crypt]

its hard to find ppl even if it is 15+10

[tepid aspen]

you'd still lose in 60 | 30 and find an excuse

[celest karma]

I see now he looks like a queen gambit too I think

[iron crypt]

so i may hadda find some fide player

[formal relic]

I find them rather quickly

[celest karma]

What you said

[tepid aspen]

time management applies in every control

[formal relic]

15 10 is simply superior

[plucky kelp]

anyways GGs. ima go play some blitz pool

[hexed ocean]

oh#

[torn sparrow]

rip bros rating

[twilit dew]

Is this legit

[iron crypt]

yah im so bad at classical time management

[celest karma]

You are right bro don't worry

[lusty lake]

To be honest, I’m that good I can checkmate with just a knight…

[formal relic]

Trust

[celest karma]

Beat him and then see

[twilit dew]

If it's not then I don't really waste much time just a 10min game whatever

[iron crypt]

there is only one fide torunament in tokyo that is classical every year

[formal relic]

1 knight no king vs 1 king?

[iron crypt]

and i started chess for only like 2 years(

[celest karma]

Ask for rated you will win elo

[kindred crypt]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I lost 45 points...

[celest karma]

https://tenor.com/view/magnus-carlsen-magnus-slam-table-slam-angry-gif-16228483763522153196

[lusty lake]

Just a knight.. but they sold their king, they had two rocks, queen and a bishop… but I scarified all my pieces to ensure I got that mate

[formal relic]

https://tenor.com/view/gukesh-world-champion-chess-gif-1630110334587322539

[tepid aspen]

I have quite a big problem with my consistency actually

[lusty lake]

So yes did it with just a knight

[celest karma]

[iron crypt]

sometimes it took 1min to find players for 15+10 and sometimes 1seconds lol

[tepid aspen]

how do I become more consistent with my gameplay

[formal relic]

My goat

[lusty lake]

king was frozen

[celest karma]

Magnus

[iron crypt]

i have the same issue because of my concentration spam

[twilit dew]

I'll ask for bullet

[tepid aspen]

I've beat 1900 fide, 2300 chess.com and 1600 acf players in tournaments but I can't break 1400 blitz

[celest karma]

Smart

[lusty lake]

It was hilarious

[twilit dew]

Omg wow that's so high rated omigawd you're so cool

[lusty lake]

Doubtful

[twilit dew]

Can you teach me chess

[formal relic]

why am I struggling with this m1 puzzle

[tepid aspen]

real

[celest karma]

Show

[iron crypt]

man i drew a WFM or WCM in my first classical torunament and i cannot get above 1500 blitz 🙁

[torn sparrow]

why do my opponents abort against me😢

[lusty lake]

I had a title, just got stripped from me… and now I realise I’m useless at this game

[celest karma]

You don't know how pieces move ?

[tepid aspen]

how

[twilit dew]

OMG wfm and wcm I've always wanted to play a titled player

[lusty lake]

Still got tricks and tips though

[torn sparrow]

is this new opening too strong

[twilit dew]

I never met a titled player before

[tepid aspen]

coach me sensei

[formal relic]

don't say the answer

[twilit dew]

I know knight moves L

[celest karma]

Is mat right?

[twilit dew]

pawn to the diagnoal

[torn sparrow]

ye

[lusty lake]

What elo… ? Dm me

[torn sparrow]

but he aborted

[twilit dew]

and promote it to the knight piece

[torn sparrow]

its too much aura checkmating a goat

[celest karma]

When I see that I think I'm not bad all

[lusty lake]

I’m willing to give

[torn sparrow]

when 2200

[formal relic]

OH

[celest karma]

He have compassion for you

[formal relic]

Pawn promotes to Knight into mate is craaaaazzzzyyyy

[twilit dew]

omigawd chess is so cool you guys are too good at chess

[torn sparrow]

nah if he checkmated he would have lost sportmanship aura

[lusty lake]

I’m not an arsehole, so helping players build sounds good to me

[formal relic]

Ive never done one of those which is probably why I struggled

[celest karma]

Yeah maybe

[twilit dew]

how do you build good tommy

[torn sparrow]

bro in 2200 pool there is almost no one so if you lose sportmanship they will abort against you

[twilit dew]

what's a good pawn build for chess

[celest karma]

When you almost beat a 2200 and he come with a is friendly game is not important

[lusty lake]

I only know classical chess, so couldn’t help with blitz or bullet lol

[torn sparrow]

I beat 3000s in friendly games

[celest karma]

I see

[torn sparrow]

they are quite weak ngl

[twilit dew]

omg you're so insane

[tepid aspen]

👍 shorter time controls are to consolidate intuition anyway

[torn sparrow]

bullet inflation made them all weak

[twilit dew]

beating 3000 actually a alegend

[celest karma]

I almost beat a 2200 but I'm to dumb I make draw because of the rule 50 move

[formal relic]

lol

[torn sparrow]

normal

[tepid aspen]

which is not what I need

[solar apex]

the only 3k rated players ik are master so u mean you can play like a master?

[torn sparrow]

I played more than 400 master

[celest karma]

Is 3+ why I not attack him is not normal bro

[twilit dew]

pawn d to diagnoal checkmate

promote to knight

[celest karma]

Nxe6?

[lusty lake]

When starting out, if low at classical don’t touch those faster games… you need to know gambits to play those and they aren’t straight forward

[formal relic]

promoting to knight ya

[solar apex]

thats so crazy youre lucky how do you play agianst masters

[celest karma]

@formal relic

[torn sparrow]

3+ eval

[twilit dew]

i almost beat a 1000 before

And I just started playing

[tepid aspen]

yeah gambit lines are not very solid

[torn sparrow]

they appear in pool if you get more than 1500

[celest karma]

For white

[lusty lake]

I play the alien gambit, or Halloween gambit… but never in classical

[torn sparrow]

very rare in 1500 tho

[solar apex]

only 1500? i am rated 1750 and cant find any

[lusty lake]

Only in blitz

[twilit dew]

Omg I've always watned to play a chess master before @torn sparrow

[torn sparrow]

yeah but there some

[twilit dew]

Where do you guys meet them I want to play one so bad

[solar apex]

the highest elo i played is like 2400 and only once

[lusty lake]

Even in rapid I avoid gambits

[torn sparrow]

play yourself

[tepid aspen]

I never play those

[twilit dew]

What do you mean

[torn sparrow]

this endgame is hard to convert ngl

[celest karma]

I made a brilliant during this game

[twilit dew]

Wow that's so cool

Is there any 1200+ that is willing toteach me how to play 🥲

My goal is to get to 1000 by the end of this year

[formal relic]

Nd7#!!!

[torn sparrow]

you need to setup the board and play against yoursel

[celest karma]

[iron crypt]

u should make the target 1400

[formal relic]

I do that

[iron crypt]

if u have a lot spare time

[lusty lake]

I admit who I am, just a software engineer now

[tepid aspen]

what's ur last act rank @twilit dew

[torn sparrow]

its kinda boring these days

[solar apex]

are these chess books really helpful?

[celest karma]

I think analyze your game with yourself it's amazing too

[formal relic]

The mates are supposed to get harder, its this

[tepid aspen]

it only works above a certain level

[torn sparrow]

I dont anaylze many games these days but I have 500 + analysis in lichess

[twilit dew]

touch the pieces and play with yourself it's amazing

[iron crypt]

is this book useful though

[formal relic]

So far it is

[twilit dew]

that's too hard 😦

[formal relic]

and I've only been reading for like 10 mins

[twilit dew]

in chess or val

[celest karma]

I analyze my game and gm game like bobby Fischer or krammik

[tepid aspen]

what would an act rank be in the context of chess

[torn sparrow]

do you play the kramnik against english

[twilit dew]

idk I just started playing, I thought act rank was in chess

[torn sparrow]

its goated

[formal relic]

Kramnik-Shirov Counterattack?

[lusty lake]

I have no chess.com account, but my daughter does… and she is 9. I manage her account

[torn sparrow]

yeah great opening

[plucky kelp]

Hey everyone
friendly reminder that everyone here deserves a great life

[formal relic]

I haven't studied it a lot but it's neat

[torn sparrow]

bro chill

[tepid aspen]

you linked your cc account on your profile

[plucky kelp]

what

im just spreading positivity :3

[formal relic]

You should play the Chameleon Slav

[celest karma]

What is that again?

[torn sparrow]

It's c4 e5 nc3 bb4

[formal relic]

Isn't it Nc3 first then Bb4

[celest karma]

I don't know it

[lusty lake]

Bad

[torn sparrow]

Yeah

[torn sparrow]

Idk what that is but I don't like slave in general

[formal relic]

Its solid, the Nc3 knight is a powerful piece for white knight in the English

[celest karma]

When I beat a kid in chess

[lusty lake]

Makes sense, see I’m not me

[torn sparrow]

Kings Indian defense

[formal relic]

I dont really like the slav either but I kinda just brought up something random lol

Play the Cambridge Springs Variation of the QG

[celest karma]

Anglo Indian yeah I play it sometimes

[formal relic]

shit is wild

[lusty lake]

Kings Indian is still played by the very top players

[torn sparrow]

No activity only good for GMs who want draws

[celest karma]

Hikaru when he plays black

[formal relic]

Tell that to Magnus

[torn sparrow]

Yeah I play that it's god tier

[celest karma]

What about queen indian defense?

[lusty lake]

It gives white the centre, but when played well you gain it back in the middle game

[tepid aspen]

only because if they don't play with high precision you're basically -1.5 in the midgame

[lusty lake]

It is why so many are afraid of the kings Indian

[torn sparrow]

Worse KID

[lusty lake]

Caro-kann… just doesn’t have the same impact

[formal relic]

QID is goated

[celest karma]

I play against a bot who plays the king Indian defense against D4 and he very difficult for white even if white have all the center is my opinion

[rapid lynx]

Got reduced to 390 elo, where to study openings?

[solar apex]

chess-reps

[celest karma]

Kasparov line

[rapid lynx]

Asks for payment for king gambit

[lusty lake]

You shouldn’t need openings, work on controlling the centre

[formal relic]

opinion on Schlecter slav?

[rapid lynx]

Thing is I always focus on castling first and defending lines

[tepid aspen]

the fight on the kingside is much less intuitive tbf but just get your pawn pyramid up and you're fine

[iron crypt]

i need to figure out how to use chessbase and find his games

lol

[torn sparrow]

Schlechter means bad in German but that variant is actually kinda good

[solar apex]

i learned my openings from watching other people playing games and experience of playing a lot of matches, also if i wanna learn an opening i just find a yt vid abt it and memorize everything , and to get deeper in it i use analysis board

[formal relic]

I like the Fianchetto and it seems solid beyond that I know nothing because I didn't study it

[tepid aspen]

just study against the h5 kh7 bh6 line @celest karma

[lusty lake]

Not sure what you are doing, go centre first… get your pieces developed then castle

At your level that will win 99.9%

[iron crypt]

this position is toture for both side

[kindred crypt]

until someone plays Bh6 or Bh3

[formal relic]

lmfaooo. I mostly know a decent bit about opening theory and lines because I've watched a bunch of Hanging Pawns videos

[lusty lake]

Fianchetto on both sides… done that in the kings Indian..

[whole eagle]

Hi guys. How are you all?

[twin oxide]

Message me to chat! 🙂 ♟️👑

[torn sparrow]

No one does that

[lusty lake]

To save my white bishop

[kindred crypt]

i do that sometimes in bullet

[tepid aspen]

run your king

[lusty lake]

Which is normally the sacrifice

[torn sparrow]

Ngl hanging pawn shows bad analysis not even 2000 fide

But should be good for under 2200 ig

[formal relic]

Well bro is 1800-1900 rated

so makes sense

[torn sparrow]

Lefong invented it actually

[twin oxide]

Great! I had the best mentoring session with one of my students; I taught him how to do push-ups correctly, more about how to play chess, and we did our reading tutoring too. It was amazing!

[kindred crypt]

whos that

[twin oxide]

… I volunteer with him. We just did our 365th session. Like a whole year of sessions, done over three years.

[torn sparrow]

FM who invented that bh3 bh6 method

He played it so many times it got popular

[plucky kelp]

I have not lost a single game after I played greenflower and I still feel like I hate chess

[whole eagle]

That's good to hear!

[kindred crypt]

oh

[formal relic]

Do you like the botvinnik English

[twin oxide]

How are you doing? Feel free to send me a friend request to chat.

You seem nice. I’m glad you have free time now that you’re done with studies. 🤗

♟️👑

[kindred crypt]

if it doesnt work im cooked

[lusty lake]

Nice to save the white bishop if you can in the kings Indian

[torn sparrow]

Your tactics got sharpened

[lusty lake]

usually it doesn’t do much

[torn sparrow]

Yeah it's good but you don't always get it

[plucky kelp]

Hello! You seem like a nice person!
I wish that your life is amazing, your days start with a beautiful morning and your days end with a wonderful sleep, comfy bed and sweetest of dreams

[whole eagle]

Sorry, I don't really send friend requests to people I don't know.

[plucky kelp]

Just so you know I am not excluding you, I wish your life also goes beautifully! days start amazing and end with a relaxing sleep
this goes to everyone :3

[whole eagle]

Thank you. You too.

[lusty lake]

I have lost games by not pushing pawns correctly… but that is more like 1500+ level…

I learned the hard way

[kindred crypt]

chat about what?

[twin oxide]

Well, then you won’t get to know people. :/

Anyway, I’m nice. Feel free to message me if you change your mind.

[torn sparrow]

I checked your games you played @pure flame

[plucky kelp]

who?

[torn sparrow]

His cc is goedeschaker

[lusty lake]

But advancing pawns is truly magical get that right, you are going to do well

[plucky kelp]

oh the last game

[pure flame]

what about me? I just had an awesome run in my OTB, and I am over my trauma

[lusty lake]

Some people are scared of pushing the pawns

[pure flame]

Im playing better but just slow its like 3 am for me

so dunno what you are saying

[whole eagle]

Please read my profile description next time, thanks.

[plucky kelp]

nice! Congrats on the OTB success!

[pure flame]

yeah thx

[torn sparrow]

It's nothing against you I just wanted to let you know

[lusty lake]

But use them, to lock out squares that the knight and bishop want to sit in

[twin oxide]

I did.

[torn sparrow]

It's a 1% occurrence smh

[pure flame]

owh yeah np, I hung a queen in one in one of them

[lusty lake]

Don’t allow outposts

[pure flame]

but yeah I feel a lot stronger

I can play blindfold now with eyes open not seeing the board, was never able to do that

[lusty lake]

So pushing pawns is the next step for anyone who wants to get to 1500+

[pure flame]

so yeah

[plucky kelp]

yeah that was against me

[twin oxide]

O.O

😄

Anyway. Bye!

[plucky kelp]

it's fine blunders like that happen to everyone, even me :3

[pure flame]

I saw it immediately when I played it

[lusty lake]

You need to learn about weak and strong squares, and how to control them

[pure flame]

neh it was because it was already like 2 am for me

and Im on 12 hrs of sleep in the last 3 days

[whole eagle]

Bye.

[plucky kelp]

it's 2:43 am for me

[whole eagle]

Go to sleep.

[pure flame]

still running on adrenaline for getting 2nd in OTB

[lusty lake]

pawns are the best pieces for controlling

[pure flame]

still dont feel that tired, ofc its not healthy dont get me wrong

[torn sparrow]

Pawns are the soul of chess bro

Even philidor said it 🥶

[grand salmon]

Definitely not the best but extremely useful

[lusty lake]

It’s important how you push them

[torn sparrow]

Legend back in 1700s morphy didn't even know pawns existed

[pure flame]

you are what rating? in blitz? like I will get to 2200 soon

in blitz at minimum

[grand salmon]

They allow the other pieces to maneuver better and more efficiently

[lusty lake]

you don’t want to over push, and allow a knight to destroy you

[plucky kelp]

2267 in blitz rn

[steep hawk]

Idk

[torn sparrow]

When he was washed I beat him like 6-2😩

[steep hawk]

What ever

[lusty lake]

Bullet is good if you know how to play first

[torn sparrow]

But we got him unwashed again

[steep hawk]

Okay guys someone come bullet

[twilit dew]

I always wanted to meet a 2000+ player

[lusty lake]

Don’t run before you can walk

[azure pivot]

6-2 against 2250 blitz is actually tough

[twilit dew]

How do you guys get that good omigawd

[grand salmon]

Why would you boost this server 💔💔💔

[torn sparrow]

Nah he was so tilted he was premoving every move 💀

[twilit dew]

omg you're right

[lusty lake]

Let’s see your ofb FIDE rating?

[torn sparrow]

lowkey

[azure pivot]

Still tough bro

[steep hawk]

Is there’s any player bullet or i go?

[twilit dew]

@azure pivot you have based takes but boosting cc server? smh

[north lance]

rating

[torn sparrow]

I think he is like 1970 fide

[azure pivot]

Only server I really talk in tbh

[torn sparrow]

So he could reach 2400 blitz maybe

[twilit dew]

time to talk in more servers

[azure pivot]

Makes your feat even more impressive bro

[lusty lake]

You need a computer to play bullet, can’t do it on phone… I can only pre-move one place

[azure pivot]

bro actually linked his profile for once and not his 1200 rapid alt

[granite rain]

it was rook and knight vs lone kind

*king

[torn sparrow]

I can't because it's already linked 💀

[iron crypt]

is that allowed to start an alt account for blindfold

[twilit dew]

I'm 700

[lusty lake]

but you got to analyse every game, I took notes in my games… and set up the situations on my own board… and repeated it.. looked through all the moves.. even on my wins and defeats

[torn sparrow]

Yeah but you need to apply

[torn sparrow]

It shows my kramnik heritage bro

[spice ore]

thats what my coach told me

[twilit dew]

nah cheating is at every range

[iron crypt]

nah 1900 can blunder queen in rapid

[twilit dew]

So I just never play rapid due to cheaters

[iron crypt]

i dont think they were cheating

[spice ore]

no ive been playing rapid without too many cheaters

[torn sparrow]

Average 1500 bullet 2300 rapid

[spice ore]

[lusty lake]

You think we wrote our moves down on paper just for the officials? no that paper is the way to getting better too

[spice ore]

and I only know that because I got rating refund

Well hello there again

[hexed ocean]

[torn sparrow]

When I play bullet on bus I normally lose 50 Elo max bro

Bro can't be this weak

[humble beacon]

A loss of money without a doubt but still

[twilit dew]

[torn sparrow]

Bro I played witty alien and he was scared to play alien gambit against me

[hexed ocean]

im glad

[torn sparrow]

He was streaming and said that all of these guys prep😭 because I played 1 engine move

[azure pivot]

Bro definitely played c5

[lusty lake]

[lusty lake]

So in bullet, I literally run my king around

[azure pivot]

Bro im confused😭

[torn sparrow]

[torn sparrow]

He went back 😭

[lusty lake]

I’ll move my king, across my pawns and then end it up being in the corner

[azure pivot]

Queens off ig he was forced to

[torn sparrow]

Yeah he offered queen trade tho

[lusty lake]

It is the best bullet play

[azure pivot]

your too tough bro

[torn sparrow]

He then randomly left for like 15s in game 💀

But still beat me

He needed his aura back

[azure pivot]

Went to fill up his big ahh water bottle

[iron crypt]

A pawn break is, opening the game, but it is part of the middle game

[spice ore]

[lusty lake]

And you need to make that steps

[torn sparrow]

General artificial intelligence released ?

I’m no AGI, just passing on knowledge… you need to understand your space and when to move into the territory

Winaver endgames are useless bro

[kindred crypt]

[lusty lake]

The game hasn’t changed that much

[torn sparrow]

[kindred crypt]

this book goes over the main lines of the french and gives you like 100 model games to get ideas from, nothing fancy

[spice ore]

[lusty lake]

Just I blunder a lot

[kindred crypt]

there was a guy here yesterday with the exact same name

[kindred crypt]

the criticism i have about this book is that it doesn't give you any real lines apart from the main line of the variation, the rest is just model games, and i think they could've gone deeper into some variations

[kindred crypt]

makes sense he’s a pretty popular anime villain

[lusty lake]

I can’t play, I struggle now… unless it is classical…

[kindred crypt]

so you think it's possible?

[iron crypt]

who can play 30+0

[kindred crypt]

why did u quit

[iron crypt]

lets prove him wrong

[spice ore]

hes a bot dont interact with him

[kindred crypt]

if u stay consistent yes

[kindred crypt]

oh

[kindred crypt]

hell yeah, is 10~ chess book pages a day + puzzles + analyzing own games good enough?

[lusty lake]

I did software engineering, so basically computer programming and it was a better career for me at the time

[torn sparrow]

Let's play lichess classical

[iron crypt]

why abort when they face lower rated bro

[kindred crypt]

yes

[torn sparrow]

They want to lose less rating bro

[kindred crypt]

you arent even that low rated compared to him

[torn sparrow]

It is

[spice ore]

they can turn on rating range

[kindred crypt]

i faced an 1800 when i was 1400, that is a big difference innit

[spice ore]

thats what i do

[torn sparrow]

I think he gets like -10

[lusty lake]

But now chess, is coming back and I’m trying to get on it… but I realised not playing for so long… I have ideas a creative play, but I blunder too much now

But the thing they care about is rating gain

[iron crypt]

then they can set -25 to inf

[lusty lake]

I can only play classical now

[iron crypt]

[kindred crypt]

who cares that much about online ratings?

It really isnt 1800. Its easier.
More like 1500

[kindred crypt]

"If you win against me you're gay" lmao

[upbeat portal]

I used to like club penguin, never got to see the secret dojo

[rustic notch]

Ok

[tranquil basin]

Good morning y’all

[patent patrol]

There was no secret dojo wym

[lusty lake]

I’m leela… fancy a game

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/asian-strict-family-guy-asian-student-gif-5746503

[tranquil basin]

Rapid tournament today

[high mantle]

Playing chess with logic ❌
Playing chess by feel ✅

[reef canyon]

rated?

[tranquil basin]

Yeah broadcasted

Asian amateurs 2025

[patent patrol]

There was ice water and fire element dojo

[tranquil basin]

Tmr is the main event

[high mantle]

You'd win trust

[bleak adder]

https://tenor.com/view/jew-dance-discord-dancing-jew-fancy-gif-21234441

[upbeat portal]

If you got master in the main dojo and the elemental dojos, you would get to see a shadow dojo

[kindred crypt]

real OGs remember the ice dojo was live once but then it was closed forever

[proven wave]

#🧩〡weekend-puzzle-rush started yesterday 🙂

[tranquil basin]

There’s like 300 players playing, 1 loss and we are out

[high mantle]

How many rounds?

[tranquil basin]

This was yesterdays blitz results, gives you an idea

[kindred crypt]

Whoopa Judea Style

[humble beacon]

Quick question. Do you have a mic?

[torn sparrow]

bro has good chances

[kindred crypt]

7 points? really good

[upbeat portal]

What's fide?

[lusty lake]

Most of my game is feel, I just can’t deal with stockfish eating my bloody pawns… only wins by playing like a wimp

[tranquil basin]

9

[kindred crypt]

i hope i can win medal in friday's tourney, i need to score at least 4,5/7 points

[reef canyon]

what's the format is it bracket

[tranquil basin]

Swiss

[hexed ocean]

yes but i'd prefer micless (we both dont use mics)

[tranquil basin]

15+10 I think

It’s on L site

[high mantle]

Ooo what spots are you aiming for

[reef canyon]

That's a lotta 🇵🇭

[tranquil basin]

Top 10 but this is tough cause I need to get lucky in tiebreaks

[humble beacon]

Can I ask you something, no. 1 don’t glazer?

[kindred crypt]

bro has a squeacky voice, im sure

[tranquil basin]

Since there will be many people at same amount of points

[hexed ocean]

how else do you think i am a streamer

[tranquil basin]

Since so many players

[reef canyon]

no you may not

[high mantle]

Yeah I don't like how tiebreaks are based on how well your opponents did

[lusty lake]

this is how we know cheats, eating pawns unnecessarily is a bot move… especially if it isn’t natural

[high mantle]

But it is what it is

[tranquil basin]

Nooo that’s fair

[hexed ocean]

yea... its sad, im still getting voice cracks, its not over

[tranquil basin]

What isn’t fair is having black wins as first tiebreak

[kindred crypt]

yeah, i almost won a medal in a tourney but i was 2 tiebreak points away from doing so

[tranquil basin]

Or wins

Buchholz is good tiebreak

[humble beacon]

How did you feel when ding lost the WC

[kindred crypt]

im 18 and i still get the occasional voice crack, even if my voice got deeper lmao

[high mantle]

Maybe it's because I also play scrabble somewhat competitively because point differential is a tiebreaker that we can control

[tranquil basin]

Makes sense, you can get unlucky sometimes in buchholz but it isn’t that bad

Black wins is totally ridiculous

[rocky copper]

gn chat

[high mantle]

I was 0.5 away from a top ten finish I got 11th 😢

[tranquil basin]

Like if someone wants to win tournmanet, you just throw your first 2 games as white

[kindred crypt]

so damn sad

[high mantle]

It is

[hexed ocean]

yea but i mean the period where the voice cracks are relentless, im still 14

[reef canyon]

55. Rf2 was my 9/11

[tranquil basin]

So you farm black and then you are unstoppable

[kindred crypt]

oof, i get like, one a week maybe lmao

[spiral cave]

Can someone say “atp”

[high mantle]

I pray you get many black games and you win them all 🙏

[tranquil basin]

If you start black and have decent tournmanet you are just unstoppable

[hexed ocean]

i get like 10-20 a day

[tranquil basin]

Yeah 🤣

[kindred crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-house-gif-22265379

[lusty lake]

To be honest stockfish applies massive pressure in one area, it sees you can’t expand and just curls you over like a ball

[reef canyon]

I almost always start w white in otb tournas

[lusty lake]

That isn’t chess

[reef canyon]

mixed results

[high mantle]

I get black more lmao

[high mantle]

Nah bots will be bots

[torn sparrow]

Bro thinks people will get 9 points

[humble beacon]

Finally my computers on

[reef canyon]

I'm pretty sure that is the epitome of chess

[high mantle]

I mean if you get 8/9 with good tiebreaker score you'll be like top 8 easily

[raven sinew]

Opponent just resigned here lmao

[torn sparrow]

I am pretty sure you are still save with 9 points in 200 players

[lusty lake]

Look even Magnus can’t do that to an opponent

[torn sparrow]

Better

[lusty lake]

It is why we can sniff out chests

[high mantle]

Free rating is free rating

[lusty lake]

Cheats

[high mantle]

If you get 9 points you win no?

[lusty lake]

You get locked up, that is what the computer does

[high mantle]

There's 9 rounds...

[torn sparrow]

Yeah

[humble beacon]

Lemme know where you’re ready. I’ll open a classroom.

[hexed ocean]

im ready

[lusty lake]

It doesn’t try expensive moves

[torn sparrow]

But if someone else gets 9

[tranquil basin]

Bro in blitz and rapid you have ppl with 8.5

[humble beacon]

Cool.

[high mantle]

Nah it won't happen

[tranquil basin]

The whole point is you have to account for fact you ain’t gonna win tournmanet

[high mantle]

There's about 300 with 9 rounds

[lusty lake]

It locks you in, and every move is a bad move

[torn sparrow]

Is there classical

[tranquil basin]

And stack on tiebreaks, like look at that ganbat guy

[lusty lake]

It strangles you to death

[tranquil basin]

He was 2nd place before the last round he lost and is now like 18

Because u need to stack on tiebreaks

[high mantle]

So you would need 2^(9+1) people to have two people with 9 points I think

[humble beacon]

Sent you an invite

[odd eagle]

berserked almost every game and lost 100 elo

[tranquil basin]

Yeah and my tiebreaks are gonna be shit cause I’m here to gain elo and not win

[lusty lake]

there isn’t creativity

[odd eagle]

withdraw halfway lol

[tranquil basin]

So I prolly won’t do well in standings

[high mantle]

I mean if you're going for elo then tiebreaks don't matter anyw

[tranquil basin]

Yeah ik but it feels unfair to have a good tournmanet and make 4 draws and lose completely on tiebreaks to a guy who farmed 1900s

[torn sparrow]

Bro just win all games and win guaranteed

[lusty lake]

Stockfish will make ridiculous moves too, it has you… then decides to just take another pawn

[maiden bison]

Who won the esports thing

[torn sparrow]

Magnus carlsen

[high mantle]

I mean if I want elo I would just ignore everything else am in the end I would gain more elo than the one farming 1900's

[maiden bison]

dem n1

[lusty lake]

so yeah we know who the cheats are

[tranquil basin]

Yeah but I would maybe be 16th place and he would be like 6th

[torn sparrow]

Magnus carlsen had a legendary 9/9 against GMs

[high mantle]

If we got a magnus hikaru final it would be crazy

[tardy ore]

Hi! I'm from California 🇺🇸, and I'm learning chess.
Looking to connect with more US players!

[lusty lake]

That is Magnus

[torn sparrow]

Alireza is better than hikaru these days

[high mantle]

Ok but like why should you care, as long you get more elo than him

[tranquil basin]

It’s not rewarding

[high mantle]

Yeah 😔

[torn sparrow]

It's not sad bro alireza is the goat

[high mantle]

In the long run you would reach higher titles first

[torn sparrow]

He will win candidates 2026

[high mantle]

Nah sad that hikaru has hit his peak 😔

[slow folio]

future CM- Flan is incoming!🗣️ 🔥

[lusty lake]

Bobby Fischer went 20 games without losing against the very best

[distant pelican]

Hm...

[plucky kelp]

Hi! I'm not from the US but I still hope you have a good time here!

[lusty lake]

And that is without stupid computers

[torn sparrow]

Without losing isn't much these days

Magnus has 110+ streak

[distant pelican]

Oh, I get the move sequence now.

[spice ore]

ur talking to a bot

dont interact with it

[torn sparrow]

It's not a bot 😂
