[unique cosmos]

brilliant

[grand pendant]

never play after 2000

trust me

[unique cosmos]

technically i did get to 2k bullet

[unique cosmos]

i got there with like almost 0 theory so it wasnt a strain of learning and effort in that at least

[nimble arch]

You could, but I dont even get into playing chess
i only program chess projects now

I do play the occaional tourney actually

[unique cosmos]

program a computer to find the worst possible moves for each position

[nimble arch]

but I dont play activley

[nimble arch]

from scratch? Thats interesting

yeah thatss really doable ngl

[unique cosmos]

antithesis stockfish

[nimble arch]

worstfish is already a thing

[unique cosmos]

ive been wanting to learn coding language but i need to save up for a computer first

[unique cosmos]

nerds

[nimble arch]

so is randommoverbot

[prime hedge]

what about drawfish?

[last badger]

We officially got a "World Champion" who aint even in the top 10 in classical rating 🥀

[unique cosmos]

thats just normal stockfish

[grand pendant]

learn

[nimble arch]

but randommoverbot was actually banned on lichess which is cool

[prime hedge]

stockfish wins

[nimble arch]

ok so jsut stockfish but when you are winning you take all their peices and then play givaway

[grand pendant]

naah you gotta reach it in rapid and blitz too

[prime hedge]

no stalemate

[nimble arch]

"for rating manipulation"

[nimble arch]

okay so we can just make it stalemate the opponent

[unique cosmos]

take all pieces and stalemate

[prime hedge]

yes

2k bullet > 2k blitz or rapid fr fr

[unique cosmos]

agreed cuz i got to 2k bullet and none of the other ones

[balmy python]

ding was outside top 10 during his reign as well at some point

[last badger]

im hoping we not abt to reach this era in chess where the World Champion is won and lost every cycle

[rotund badger]

a

[unique cosmos]

no one seems to be as motivated

[nimble arch]

chess is really cool as a concept

[balmy python]

Its an awkward time because the young generation is still developing their skills but because magnus gave up on the championship its up for grabs by a lot of people until a clear #1 emerges again

[last badger]

Im rooting for Andy Woodward fr

Seen him in person at World Open tournament

[balmy python]

gukesh is still young he could end up being a dominant force in chess given time, as could any of the other young players at the top level right now

[safe folio]

chess? You know my gf play chess with me

[chilly grail]

my bets on vincent

[balmy python]

Pragg seems to be just a step above the rest at the moment in my opinion but who knows only time can tell, one good year isnt enough to show us who will have the best career overall

[last badger]

i wish we actually got to see Magnus get dethroned in a WC match. Instead we just have to wait for a gradual decline of Magnus eventually losing his number 1 classical rating @balmy python

[unique ledge]

Is Pragg the Indian guy

[last badger]

who yall think is gonna be the GM who surpasses Magnus in classical rating eventually?

[balmy python]

I feel like if someone gets close magnus will start playing classical again just to take it back 😂

[mortal bronze]

pragg is my favourite. i hope he becomes wcc someday

[quasi mantle]

Ye nice

[unique ledge]

Pragg reminds me of my Algebra teacher who wasn't good at teaching

He looks like him

That teacher would joke around more than he would teach

[last badger]

Yeah and when I see Pragg, I think to myself "yo he looks like Joshua's algebra teacher who wasnt good at teaching"

[nimble arch]

air? yo my gf breaths air
you said a noun? yo my gf is a noun
you said a verb? yo my gf does verbs
you said an adjective? yo my gf have adjectives

[balmy python]

if i had to bet on anyone id put my money on pragg to win it next time around

[safe folio]

YUP🔥 🔥 🔥

[balmy python]

i think its cool that praggs sister is big in chess as well

[unique ledge]

ZeeJay, goodness gracious man. We go way back. I often forget how long we’ve known each other

[safe folio]

AIR ME AND MY GF BREATH THE SAME AIR

[nimble arch]

thats no wtf

[balmy python]

Im surprised her rating is so low i thought she was much higher

[nimble arch]

gimmie a sec im running a check

[fervent sierra]

This is a simple puzzle

Where does White go to checkmate Black in 2 moves? 👀

I hung my knight

[robust furnace]

How do I update, like I connected another acc and it still says 500 < rated

[still fox]

Any 1500 wanna be my friend?

[uneven plover]

It’s the best role. I have it for a reason.

[uneven plover]

Why specifically 1500?

[robust furnace]

Uhm can you teach me how to play chess

And what openings should I learn (I'm 947 elo)

[whole eagle]

connect? Go to your chess.com profile, then settings, then the section "account" then scroll down then connect to discord

[reef canyon]

here is the most OP opening you can use in your elo range

||Basic opening principles||

[uneven plover]

I can teach you for the low low price of 49.99.

[whole eagle]

u can learn any, no matter what elo u are, as long as u learn.

[idle oracle]

I’ll take you up on that

[robust furnace]

I did, I connected to an account with 947 elo

And it still said I'm < 500 elo

[reef canyon]

[robust furnace]

In discord roles

[whole eagle]

maybe u need to increase your elo?

[uneven plover]

Looking forward to money.

[whole eagle]

@proven wave can you plz help @robust furnace rq?

[robust furnace]

There's a role called 500 - 999 elo

[uneven plover]

French is acceptable. After all WC Ding Liren used it at the highest stage.

[idle oracle]

I hung my knight

[loud dome]

Look again

[uneven plover]

You won’t see a Caro trash at the highest stage.

[loud dome]

Let's talk about London

[reef canyon]

gukesh won with it iirc at the first round of this year's grand swisss

[robust furnace]

Yay

[uneven plover]

Swiss cheese is not the same as the WCC.

[robust furnace]

I must play you

🙏🙏🙏

[modest spear]

Do you ever do puzzles and think how can someone even get in this position

[pallid pecan]

anyone who hits me with 2. Qh5 has no right to call me bad
the fact that i lost to a guy who plays 2. Qh5 means someone has a right to call me bad but not that guy

[chilly grail]

ur bad bro

[pallid pecan]

thanks bro

[chilly grail]

like theres so much counters to wayward queen infact theres multiple videos about it

if you lose to such a horrible opening then you have to learn about your mistakes

[pallid pecan]

it's like the one bad opening i know how to reasonably counter i just threw my knight

[thin hearth]

Huii champions

i play a lot of elephant gambit

ight bro

No 🙂‍↔️ one here

[versed magnet]

alr i think im gonna stick here with my nimzo larsen with double fiancettos

[chilly grail]

nimzo larsen isnt for the weak

ngl, i tried it and i got squished in every position

its so hard to keep center if u dont know the concepts and ideas

[versed magnet]

Yea but those bishops are amazing

[chilly grail]

u dont need double fiancetto tho

its a waste and u make ur pawns weaker

[thin hearth]

In tast

[chilly grail]

one fiancetto is fine

[versed magnet]

Im aware
It messes with my opponents though

[thin hearth]

U wanna play

[versed magnet]

[thin hearth]

[keen hearth]

Walking your oppents king all the way to your king just to checkmate them is a cruel fate.

[prime hedge]

I am playing alekhine’s as black and polish as white in blitz

And winning mostly!

[last badger]

I swear Im being trolled in ask-an-expert rn. I asked this question: Is it better for chess study to rotate topics each day or focus on one topic exclusively for 1–2 weeks before switching?

But the only answers Im getting are from ppl 500-1200 elo, and theyre saying stuff completely unrelated to my question 😭

like why am i being told "do puzzles" 💀

[nimble arch]

I dont think their trolling thier jsut helping to their extent

[nimble arch]

focus on one but keep consistant review

when learning a new one focus on that new one

however you still should review older lines at random

[last badger]

maybe, but its like if a chef who owned a restuarant was out there asking how to make better food, and the only answers they got was "use salt and pepper" lol

[fervent sierra]

A simple puzzle for you guys

Where does White go to checkmate Black in 2 moves? 👀

[rich sapphire]

Qd5 too easy

These puzzles are stupid though

Who cares how quickly I checkmate my opponent when I'm up a queen

Wait Qd5 a6 I don't have mate

[last badger]

oh is it Rb6?

[rich sapphire]

Rb6 is mate in 2

[rich sapphire]

Yeah seems like it

But like who cares

Find mate in two to solve

[robust furnace]

Rook goto b6, if pawn takes then queen goto a2, checkmate

[harsh kite]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1304272207815381015/1362593341212065944/bell_curve.gif

[last badger]

Yeah its Rb6

Rook moves anywhere, Qxb7# or Qxg8#
axb6, Qa2#
a6, Rxa6#

[harsh kite]

dunning kruger effect

[robust furnace]

Can somebody teach me chess for free

[visual chasm]

Are there any ideas in this position? I don’t know why he resigned tbh. Other than time. Cause here he just moves his bishop back and we’re both stuck with no ideas that I can see

[rich sapphire]

Ask expert should really have a rating requirement for being the expert

[slow folio]

I never think I could defend against this position-

I'm better at attacking than defending for so much-

[last badger]

you could make a meme with that where the guys on the end are both saying "London System is a good opening" and the middle person crying is saying how its bad and hurts your chess improvement, something like that

[harsh kite]

good idea

[torn sparrow]

Do puzzles vro

[last badger]

i never done a puzzle in my life yall, im so sorry 😔

[robust furnace]

London System makes my accuracy goto 86+

[rich sapphire]

It is unironically a good opening

[last badger]

yeah its an opening you would see played in the Candidates

[robust furnace]

If you master london opening, it's good

[torn sparrow]

You can always do more

[rich sapphire]

But nobody is going to deny it's a boring positional opening

[harsh kite]

its nothing ironic

[robust furnace]

Guys how do I get the ukraine dove in my chess.com acc

[harsh kite]

people hate on system openings too badly and london just happen to be the most famous one

[light violet]

you should look at erigaisi's games in the london

he makes it a crazy attacking opening

[robust furnace]

What are systems openings

[harsh kite]

colle, stonewall also are system openings but they dont get so many hate because they arent as good

[lucid valve]

Hii everyone 👋

[light violet]

i think colle is as good as the london

[harsh kite]

opening with certain piece placement

[light violet]

if anything, it's been more popular than the london at the elite level lately

[torn sparrow]

The London system is good as it gives me free wins tbh

[harsh kite]

def underrated

[robust furnace]

People hate them because they lose to it?

[harsh kite]

because they are deemed to be brainless which they are at low level

[harsh kite]

Ne5 🤤

[robust furnace]

I get 17 elo every win

[last badger]

Isnt Artur Yuposov a big fan of the Colle?

[light violet]

no idea

but nodirbek plays it a lot now, i've seen prag use it a few times too

it's actually kinda popular at the elite level

[robust furnace]

Guys how does the elo system work?

[lucid valve]

Yoo

[leaden gust]

if you studied the sicilian for the competition and your opponent plays for scholar's mate what should you have in your pocket

[last badger]

Young Artur Yusupov looks like modern-day Richard Rapport

[robust furnace]

Search GothamChess on how to punish

[last badger]

just dont lose cuz if u lose against scholars mate, u get negative aura

[torn sparrow]

Old one looks like Bobby Fischer vro

[fervent sierra]

[light violet]

i mean, just block the mate threat and then have a better position

not much more to it

[lucid valve]

I suks at blitz any tip?

[rich sapphire]

I got it later

[last badger]

why am i so tempted to get a chessable course for a troll opening 💀

[robust furnace]

Learn Bongcloud

[fervent sierra]

Ok

[hoary verge]

NO.

[rich sapphire]

Stick to teaching the dragon vro 🥀

[rich sapphire]

Yeah it was Rb6

[last badger]

i mean imagine how mad my opponents would be if they lost to e4 e5 Qh5

[rich sapphire]

How much are you actually going to study this course

[leaden gust]

sand. I'll pocket sand my opponent then after they regain vision they're in mate in 2 cuz i hate early queen moves with every bone in my body

[last badger]

i mean until i know the lines and can hop in the blitz pool to troll

[robust furnace]

How does people win bullet

[mortal bronze]

30$ for this

[rich sapphire]

Be fast

[mortal bronze]

play fast

it's that easy

[leaden gust]

you're mostly faster than you're smarter

[robust furnace]

More blunders

[last badger]

thats actually cheap in the chessable world, they be selling shit for like 100+

[kindred crypt]

chat remember when i was 160 elo 5 days ago 🫡

for the text, it would be 300+ for the video

hi arima

what do you mean by unc status? @short summit

[short summit]

I got sick but I won't miss out on classical chess

[mortal bronze]

awwh. take care

[short summit]

I'm 16.. unc status

[mortal bronze]

unc status at 16?

[rich sapphire]

You're not an unc you're a child

[mortal bronze]

unreal

[last badger]

if yall ever feel like youre wasting your money, just remember theres ppl spending 300 dollars on a chessable course 💀

[mortal bronze]

can't wait for 4 year olds to start calling 10 year olds uncs 10 years down the line

[robust furnace]

Unc status, that means you have a sibling who has a child 💀

[mortal bronze]

i still don't know if it's called petroff or petrov

[short summit]

I'm an unc cuz my older sister has a child

[rich sapphire]

Not even anything against d4. Just against e4

[mortal bronze]

ohh makes sense lol

[last badger]

maybe its like the case of spelling it "color" or "colour"

[limpid viper]

16 is old anyway

[mortal bronze]

hmm

[mortal bronze]

i was 16, nearly 15 years ago

[last badger]

16 is young everywhere else, but in the chess world, thats retirement age

[mortal bronze]

that's true

you need to be an im minimum by 16

gm actually but im isn't so bad either

WHAT

16 IS OLD IN CHESS 😭

[fervent sierra]

[limpid viper]

16 is old everywhere

[mortal bronze]

don't make me wait

[patent patrol]

sup

[mortal bronze]

if you are 12

[limpid viper]

i am 17

[rich sapphire]

Yes brodie. When you're 18 without title it's time to pack it up

[patent patrol]

dudes in middle school

[last badger]

yes

[limpid viper]

🥸

[light violet]

as overpriced as chessable is, i don't think anyone is paying full price for video courses

[short summit]

Yep back in my days everything was good

[light violet]

they just have sales all the time

[paper zenith]

WHY IS EVERYONE THE YOUNGER SIBLING 😭 except me of course, just my luck

[light violet]

even so, the video courses are really exp

[fervent sierra]

where does white go to checkmate black in 2 turns

[keen hearth]

Is it possible to win this as black?

[mortal bronze]

finally a good one

[torn sparrow]

Nope illegal

[keen hearth]

illegal? XD

[paper zenith]

also hi chesstalk

[azure pivot]

It’s true, your not allowed to win in that position

[kindred crypt]

I came back from a 5 to 3 pieces difference. My opponent resign as soon as i took his queen 💀

[fervent sierra]

those are just simple questions from 1000 elo to 1500 elo level

[kindred crypt]

idk why people resign when they lose the queen.. i try not to do that cause you can always comeback

[azure pivot]

2231🥶

[rich sapphire]

Hi lantern hru

[azure pivot]

Come rated blitz when the timer expires

[keen hearth]

Can't even do a meaningful sacrifice?

[torn sparrow]

I have been peaksitting business the dawn of time vro

[azure pivot]

I saw you just beat a 2300🥶

[kindred crypt]

i will start ranking up blitz once i get to at least 1,000 elo on rapid

[torn sparrow]

That was like 15 hours ago

[keen hearth]

I don't think you are gonna win in that position no matter how many pieces you are up friend.

[paper zenith]

wrong number haha

[azure pivot]

Yeah close enough

Didn’t actually see the game I just clicked on your profile

[stable scroll]

Hellooo@everyone 🙂

[kindred crypt]

makes sense

[chilly ingot]

balls.

[kindred crypt]

Poke

[stable scroll]

Helloo?

[torn sparrow]

I saw you just farmed cb bro

[mortal bronze]

is it ||qf6||?

[keen hearth]

I should of probably emphasized pawns specifically tbh.

[fervent sierra]

No

[azure pivot]

Farming is bullshit bro

[mortal bronze]

what does black play there?

[chilly ingot]

who is cb

[torn sparrow]

You need to know when to quit

[chilly ingot]

counting balls

[lone totem]

unc talk

[azure pivot]

I go 34-2 against a 2300 peak and get +3, I then go 2-3 in the next 5 games and lose -25

[mighty raft]

Gukesh should retire

[rich sapphire]

The promised number

[mortal bronze]

grr don't say that word

it's a slur

[torn sparrow]

Is this a skill issue

[azure pivot]

[mortal bronze]

retiring as a world champion is aura

[torn sparrow]

If I was you I just wouldn't stop winning

[azure pivot]

Snail activities ig

[fervent sierra]

are you saying white or black comes first?

[torn sparrow]

Its that simple

[lone totem]

he only beat the washed man to get WC tho

[mortal bronze]

after ||qf6|| what does black play?

[azure pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/vladimir-kramnik-kramnik-chesscom-chess-meme-anis-84-gif-10256479517071193831

[mortal bronze]

he beat a lot of top players in the candidates

[stable scroll]

What y'all yapping aboutt

[paper zenith]

its els-o'-ween now

[oblique dagger]

Hii

[kindred crypt]

some people do be underestimating pawns. They can be clutch in important cases. A pawn saved me multiple times from getting checkmated 💀

[torn sparrow]

Kramnik is slow AF in ultra

[mighty raft]

Only Magnus can do that as nobody was good enough to defeat him at wc and he had some personal issues with FIDE. Also, he was tired of wc.

[rich sapphire]

||Nf6||

[mortal bronze]

hi dengy. wassup

[lone totem]

rated bullet with me bro

[oblique dagger]

Hru ;3

[azure pivot]

💀

[mortal bronze]

many people have done that before

[chilly ingot]

who's the highest untitled bullet elo here?

[last badger]

chat imagine Nepo gets to the Candidates again, wins the Candidates again, and then loses to the WC again. 3 times in a row

[lone totem]

ki def

[mortal bronze]

also, magnus hasn't even retired

[azure pivot]

If only he still had his cc account we could send him 10s challenges

[chilly ingot]

ki is it true

[rich sapphire]

Ok ween

[fervent sierra]

White can only move in 2 turns. In 1 of those turns, you must checkmate so that Black has no chance.

[paper zenith]

im good wbu

[lone totem]

his candidates performance was nice, but the WC quality was just a liiitle off for my liking

[mortal bronze]

is it ||rag6||?

[azure pivot]

In the server it’s rkdk or karma

[mortal bronze]

are you stupid?

[azure pivot]

Both are 3200+ peak

[torn sparrow]

Nope Manudavid beats both in real 1+0 skill vro

[mighty raft]

The real world champion is Magnus Carlsen.

[azure pivot]

He has a title bro

[rich sapphire]

No

[torn sparrow]

He will revoke it

[lone totem]

real world champion is ian nepomniatchtchi 😔

[mortal bronze]

factually incorrect.

[mortal bronze]

awwh. why not? what does black play?

[mighty raft]

Who is he?

[mighty raft]

I am saying it skill-wise

[kindred crypt]

Magnus will probably retire in like 40 years from now. Dude is still in his 30s

[mortal bronze]

eh probably in less than 5 years

[lone totem]

guy who played the WC two times and sadly lost by hair-threads

[kindred crypt]

you think? that early?

[rich sapphire]

Oh wait Ba6 is the idea

[mortal bronze]

yes

[rotund badger]

he ragebaiter

[mortal bronze]

it works i think

[mighty raft]

He lost against Ding. I remember

[rich sapphire]

It looks like it works idk

[chilly ingot]

that's like top 20 global 🙏

[mortal bronze]

yeah

[last badger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJyP7PE6tbE

Yall think if Fabiano didnt fumble a winning position into a draw against Nepo in the last round of the last Candidates, that he wouldve beat Gukesh in the tiebreaker? Im confident Fabi wouldve won that

[mortal bronze]

i wonder why ||qf6|| doesn't work

[mighty raft]

Yes

[lone totem]

ye thats a likely result

[chilly ingot]

isn't ding the only person who held is title for just one year

[mighty raft]

Anybody can beat Gukesh at his level

[mortal bronze]

i think gukesh would have won either way

[rich sapphire]

I wonder why ||Nf6|| doesn't work

[fleet dove]

Cuz I said so

[mortal bronze]

there are many other players

[mighty raft]

Gukesh will join too

[rich sapphire]

It works in my line but idk ||Rag6|| is good

[azure pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/vladimir-kramnik-kramnik-chesscom-chess-meme-anis-84-gif-10256479517071193831

[livid needle]

Bold statement

[last badger]

but nah, this has got to be one of the saddest games of all time, i was so heartbroken for Fabi here

[mortal bronze]

||re5|| maybe

[fleet dove]

I am chess.

[dull harness]

Hello

[mortal bronze]

what's the score of our last 4 games?

[turbid bolt]

anyone bughouse

[mortal bronze]

we don't talk about the 6 games before that

[fleet dove]

You don’t want to go band for band with me on games

[mighty raft]

You will see my prediction will become a reality.

[mortal bronze]

i can if we only look at the last 4 games

[fleet dove]

Log on let’s fix that

[mortal bronze]

noooo

[mighty raft]

Ding = Gukesh

[mortal bronze]

will play some time later

[fleet dove]

Right

[chilly ingot]

kel scared

[mortal bronze]

ding is probably better overall ngl. but gukesh is much younger so

[mortal bronze]

i am never scared

[chilly ingot]

then play him

[mortal bronze]

i am worried for him

[rich sapphire]

It's because of ||Be4|| and only that move prevents the m2

[mighty raft]

I agree. I'm talking about Gukesh's fate of wc.

[mortal bronze]

huh?

[mortal bronze]

that is ||re5||?

[rich sapphire]

||Rag6|| doesn't work because of ||axb4||

[mortal bronze]

oh, let me calculate more then

[rich sapphire]

No Re5 Qxd3 is mate

[mortal bronze]

and what about ||qf6||?

[mighty raft]

Gukesh will lose the title next year. It will be amazing to see.

[mortal bronze]

aah

[rich sapphire]

Re5 blocks the bishop

That's the only move I missed Be4

[mortal bronze]

telll

[rich sapphire]

I had the right idea but the wrong execution

[tired raft]

Ek chess vala banner dho

[mortal bronze]

wait why not ||qxd3|| there?

[rich sapphire]

After ||Qf6|| ||Re4|| delays

[mortal bronze]

oh right the queen is unprotected ffs

[rich sapphire]

I know the move now

Because I got sick of the guy not being here

I checked the engine

[mortal bronze]

so the solution is ||rf6|| i assume?

[rich sapphire]

[mortal bronze]

i almost got muted because of him

[mortal bronze]

interesting

[rich sapphire]

I had the right idea but I blocked with knight instead

Missing Be4

[mortal bronze]

same, i did with the queen instead

[rich sapphire]

Ba6 opens the other mate

Which I missed

[worldly jasper]

One bite everyone knows the rules

[kindred crypt]

hello I am new to chess

Still learning the ropes

[worldly jasper]

Me too, how often do you blunder your queen?

[kindred crypt]

I have not yet played a game

I am reading the rules

[worldly jasper]

Really?

[hushed thistle]

Morning

[worldly jasper]

Damn, I don't remember not knowing how to play. That's interesting

[knotty jasper]

Morning

[azure plank]

morning!

[worldly jasper]

I did learn recently the rules of castling

[kindred crypt]

I have a question. Can someone explain rule 3.7e to me?

[mortal bronze]

hi ozool

[hushed thistle]

Hello!!

[mortal bronze]

good morning

[hushed thistle]

how are you?

[worldly jasper]

The en passante

[mortal bronze]

i am doing well. how about you?

[kindred crypt]

no, the one after en passant

[worldly jasper]

Idk what it is then sorry

[hushed thistle]

Good, much better.
Though ive had a rough chess round last week (sacked my knight and it didnt pay off 😂) (so i lost -21 raiting in national)

[rich sapphire]

It's..the definition of an exchange

[mortal bronze]

awwh. did you play in some tournament?

[rich sapphire]

Whats the problem with it

[mortal bronze]

was it classical?

[kindred crypt]

I don't understand how this exchange works.

[worldly jasper]

He's literally never played

[mortal bronze]

tf is 3.7e?

[worldly jasper]

Be nice!

[hushed thistle]

I got asked to help out in a small tournamnet for another team 😂

[hushed thistle]

Good thing its wasnt FIDE

[mortal bronze]

oh i see

[chilly ingot]

balls.

[floral osprey]

So i am 900 elo but my toughest puzzle is 1800, does that say anything about me or is it unrelated

[mortal bronze]

haha. i don't think fide has team tournaments. do they?

[lone totem]

my toughest puzzle is 3500 💔

[chilly ingot]

@hushed thistle r u rich vro

[hushed thistle]

The upper bracket has FIDE rated games

[worldly jasper]

But just so you know bro, you cant describe chess rules by the number in the rule book. I don't think people will know that.

[lone totem]

so yeah its unrelated

[chilly ingot]

gimme 20$ pls vro

[worldly jasper]

Me too!

[hushed thistle]

WHy would i be rich? I am above average in my country but not crazy rich

[mortal bronze]

do 4000. i once had a mate in 2 at 4000

[chilly ingot]

mines like 3200🥀

[kindred crypt]

I tried sending the rule here, but the server hides that message

[mortal bronze]

ah i see

[mortal bronze]

cc puzzle rating really doesn't mean much

[hushed thistle]

Yeah

[chilly ingot]

proabbly the one magnus took 23 seconds to solve

[mortal bronze]

huh, which one?

[chilly ingot]

in the short idk

[mortal bronze]

it was a simple back rank mate idea from what i remember

[chilly ingot]

thas crazy

[hushed thistle]

why ddi you ask? im incredibly curious

[chilly ingot]

could I solve it under a min?

[mortal bronze]

yeah

[chilly ingot]

u look like it

[mortal bronze]

in like 5 seconds probably

[kindred crypt]

this guy must be so mad rn...

[last badger]

why chess is brutal. Ka1 (what Fabi played) is a draw, while Ka2 is winning. So hard to see why

[hushed thistle]

😂

[chilly ingot]

cc puzzles probs made by 700 elo staff or stockfish depth 10

[chilly ingot]

his fault for missing it in a classical game 🥀

[hushed thistle]

Id say even in classical its hard to find why

[fair elm]

anyone wanna play bullet under 400

[chilly ingot]

I'd just play qg8 for check and resign

[last badger]

even in classical its hard to see

[chilly ingot]

he's known as a classical god or sum tho

engine-iano

[kindred crypt]

btw chat i lost my queen in like 3 moves and i still won 😹

wait not my queen. My rook

[rich sapphire]

It's just explaining what an exchange is. You exchange a pawn for a queen when you promote. You have an exchange like rook vs knight or bishop

It's also an exchange when you trade pieces

[lone totem]

which rule you guys talking about?

[rich sapphire]

3.7e fide rulebook

I don't know what his confusion is it's a basic term definition

[fair elm]

☠️

[willow owl]

Who reads the fide rule book to learn the chess rules bro😭

[lone totem]

whyd fide cover an exchange tho

not really one of the axioms of chess 🙏

[willow owl]

Hi yemeni Mahjong champion

[rich sapphire]

The guy asking the question apparently

[wind bay]

Did u win

[willow owl]

😭

[robust furnace]

Is beating coach 1200 elo a good thing for me as I'm 800+ elo

[willow owl]

Average 200 mindset

[limpid viper]

nah its a bad thing bro

[rich sapphire]

Holy rage bait

[willow owl]

Let him have this one bro

[limpid viper]

is it a good thing i beat a player higher rated than me bro

[robust furnace]

brotha ew, ew brotha ew, what's that, ew, what's that

[limpid viper]

like what type of a question is this

what happened to my beloved chess-talk

[lone totem]

exchange is just a type of capture
just say what captures are

[willow owl]

It died🙏

[fair elm]

yh

[mortal bronze]

not enough misogyny in chat for helo

[fair elm]

oh

[plucky kelp]

Good mornin chat

[rich sapphire]

Exchange is not a capture. You cant have a capture of bishop and rook. You have an exchange of bishop and rook

[fair elm]

no i didnt

[rich sapphire]

Capture is singular, an exchange shows the difference

[lone totem]

exchange can be defined in terms of capture
capture cannot be defined in terms of exchange

[rich sapphire]

Or the comparison whatever

[willow owl]

Hi 2024 fide circuit winner

[rich sapphire]

An exchange is not a capture. A capture is not an exchange

[lone totem]

an exchange is reciprocated capture

[plucky kelp]

Are you gonna eventually list every single achievement Fabi did? 😭

[lone totem]

doesnt need to be explicitly defined

[willow owl]

All this cuz some guy decided to read the fide rulebook

[limpid viper]

fabi achieved stuff? i thought he was just a punching bag for magnus

[kindred crypt]

this has to be a joke

[lone totem]

fabiano caruana is a chess player

[willow owl]

Bro went blow for blow with magnus in 2018

[wind bay]

Gr8

[limpid viper]

i only know gukesh and magnus the world champions

[worldly jasper]

You outplayed him

[limpid viper]

fabi i just sometimes see in hikaru videos bro

[fair elm]

shouldve premoved 😭

[south token]

Okay 600

[kindred crypt]

i thought i was done bro. Im awful at blitz lol

[willow owl]

Bro forgot about ding

[limpid viper]

who

[willow owl]

@reef canyon

[torn sparrow]

Do you know kramnik

[willow owl]

@lone totem skull this guy bro

[limpid viper]

yea he's that one guy from the gif

[lone totem]

[worldly jasper]

Oh yea the gif guy!

[limpid viper]

[radiant swan]

me 🥺

[willow owl]

@servermods

[keen hearth]

Is it possible to win for white guys?

[limpid viper]

ding is very forgettable not as good as gukesh and magnus

[lone totem]

even i could draw ding in classical

if cm jkao can bro

[torn sparrow]

Gukesh and good in the same sentence💔

[lone totem]

actually I digress
that was a simul

[willow owl]

Ding if he isnt in horrible form beats gukesh

[fair elm]

whats ur rating blitz

[fervent sierra]

Qf6 you did well, sorry for replying your move wrongly because i texted the wrong person , you guys texted too fast

[limpid viper]

i sent gukesh some advice through chess.com messages he'll be at number 1 rating in a few months

[willow owl]

Ofc it was. Bro thought a cm could draw a world champion 😭

[kindred crypt]

it says right there on my ss

[torn sparrow]

What vro actually sent ( do puzzles)

[foggy comet]

vro does not know prime ding

[fair elm]

awh ur beginner like me?

[snow briar]

Jkao did draw ding tho

[foggy comet]

thats like saying john wall was bad and just an irrelevant role player

[kindred crypt]

Basically yeah

[willow owl]

Simul big difference

[torn sparrow]

Is that the guy who invented walls

[foggy comet]

nba reference

[limpid viper]

i do i watched his game against gukesh

[willow owl]

Calling gukesh vs ding Prime ding is insane

[foggy comet]

prime ding was back in 2019

[lone totem]

that was ding after health issues (in guk vs ding)

[limpid viper]

he was wc tho

[foggy comet]

ding post mental health issue

[torn sparrow]

Ding always knew he was gonna fall off

[limpid viper]

people just can't admit prime ding was worse than gukesh

[willow owl]

He was still struggling during the 2024 wcc

[foggy comet]

he beat nepo not magnus

in 2019 magnus was still wc and cooking everyone

[lone totem]

i meaan not that bad of a feat

[torn sparrow]

Because he wasn't ???

[limpid viper]

gukesh probably could've beaten magnus

[foggy comet]

yeah but not the same value as beating magnus

[fair elm]

anyone wanna blitz/bullet under 400

[willow owl]

Mental health wise

[foggy comet]

gukesh isn't quite there yet

[torn sparrow]

Tbh he only got unlucky in 1 endgame

[foggy comet]

ik he is already wc but he's still 18 and could improve more

[limpid viper]

he's 19

[willow owl]

The whole point is that he was playing a lot worse in general due to deteriorated health. Hence why he had lost so much rating

[fair elm]

https://tenor.com/view/gukesh-chess-world-champion-sigma-stare-gif-8994487215246676137

[torn sparrow]

Worst wc since smylow

[limpid viper]

gukesh is the best wc since magnus

[foggy comet]

smyslov disrespect lmao

[torn sparrow]

Is this true @ding liren

[foggy comet]

prime ding would easily cook current gukesh

[last badger]

oh yeah, Gukesh is out of the top 10 classical rating leaderboard after the FIDE Grand Swiss tournament

[willow owl]

He said it himself bro

[last badger]

💔

[torn sparrow]

He could have won but didn't want to

[willow owl]

He can prob bounce back just a bad tournamnet

[foggy comet]

he will

[trim wraith]

cope

[tepid spruce]

best move for white ?

[willow owl]

Ngl ding would do better against magnus than nepo did

[torn sparrow]

There are 20 top 10 players

[foggy comet]

he's not quite at the level of young magnus yet

[limpid viper]

he is

[foggy comet]

not quite all time great level but he definitely has potential

[torn sparrow]

Rd4 vfo

[limpid viper]

young magnus was just facing garbage players they had to bring the avengers out to stop gukesh

[foggy comet]

tell me ur indian without telling me ur indian

[last badger]

holy shit, Vishy Annand old ahh is number 13 in the world still, ahead of Niemann, Ding, and Nepo lol

[limpid viper]

gukesh is the greatest player oat

[willow owl]

Its vishy bro

[torn sparrow]

I always knew bro was Indian but couldn't prove it

[trim wraith]

Anand is peak sitting he don't play many tournaments

[knotty jasper]

[silent terrace]

[fair elm]

i eat rice with my hands

[willow owl]

He could prob score good if he played in the swiss

[limpid viper]

i am not indian greatness just recognizes greatness

[torn sparrow]

Garry Kasparov is peaksitting at 21812

[foggy comet]

magnus was the best player in the world by the time he was 20

[trim wraith]

any open swiss is a rating loss for top rated players

[timber badge]

magnus should stop being such a narcissistic guy gukesh beats him anyday

this guy? the guy who lost to gukesh 😂

[timber badge]

i know right

[torn sparrow]

Indians reposting each other for support vro

[azure pivot]

Ding schools Gukesh bro

[timber badge]

gukesh is the best player

[limpid viper]

gukesh is the greatest player oat

[willow owl]

Third highest rated player after all

[foggy comet]

magnus was and still is the youngest to become the highest rated player in the world

[timber badge]

youngest world champion

[limpid viper]

actually wait

[timber badge]

(actually he isnt)

[limpid viper]

maybe bobby fischer is the only player who could reach gukesh

i gotta remove my bias

[trim wraith]

which is the better of the worst chess champions Ding or Gukesh

[willow owl]

Bobby Fischer gets cooked by rapport bro

[limpid viper]

there's a few players you could argue are on gukesh's level

[subtle thicket]

You might be the greatest of all time but this is my time

[timber badge]

Ponomariov is technically the youngest wcc

[torn sparrow]

Bobby Fischer in his grave has good chances to beat gukesh tbh

[subtle thicket]

Bobby Fischer would beat your idol Hikaru too

[timber badge]

gukesh pulled a logan paul move with that

[limpid viper]

hikaru isn't gukesh level so ofc?

[torn sparrow]

Why does bro think my idol is hikaru

[limpid viper]

bobby fischer == gukesh >> hikaru

[subtle thicket]

You’re a basic noob if u say Magnus

[timber badge]

is it a guy with moustache

[azure pivot]

Helo I always suspected you were a secret Indian this all but confirms it

[last badger]

im just hoping a miracle can happen and Wesley So could at least make it to the candidates (country bias)

[torn sparrow]

What if I say capablanca vro

[last badger]

it prob wont happen tho

[torn sparrow]

Emanuel lasker had a moustache

[kindred crypt]

oh no the RUUUUKKKK!

[trim wraith]

god will make sure he makes it to canidates

[timber badge]

bro googled it

i was gonna say gukesh tbh

[foggy comet]

if its not jianchao zhou it's invalid

[torn sparrow]

Nah I remembered his portrait

[torn sparrow]

Capablanca is better because he is a illegal Cuban immigrant

[knotty jasper]

tbh its pain when u see a brilliant move and ur opponet isnt playing his next move but thinking 💔

[slow folio]

good day chat

[slow folio]

hey wsp bud

[foggy comet]

nobody is better than jianchao zhou

he could easily win candidates 14/14 and go 8-0 in the wc but he won't to give others a chance

How long can a player be “reconnecting” until the resign?

[azure plank]

india, u?

[fallow juniper]

SAME

[harsh kite]

this is just what you usually realize when you meet masters in any field when first stepping into it

[fallow juniper]

WHERE?

[broken valley]

The more I learn the worse I feel im getting lol

[limpid viper]

Not quite vro

[harsh kite]

its kinda like that

[azure plank]

uttarakhand, wbu bro?

[balmy python]

just be delusional 😂

[trim wraith]

when you learn chess isn't about being smart or stupid it's all about memorizing patterns

[ebon cairn]

[broken valley]

my patterns are that I keep playing stupid moves

[rich sapphire]

Where there's a queen there's a way

[fierce ferry]

Got into chess little over a year ago, played until I plateau at 700 elo, and after an entire year I come back with no refresher and I shot up to 1000. Why?

[loud dome]

Opponent forces me to win lmao

[kindred crypt]

why did he resign...

[mortal bronze]

you will be up a whole rook

[trim wraith]

some of the patterns you learned became more obvious

[loud dome]

I did not see the hanging knight

[kindred crypt]

he could've tried pushing his pawns and try

[trim wraith]

to be fair something is hanging either way

[rich sapphire]

Because he's losing either the rook or the knight

But yes your opponent could've definitely played on

[loud dome]

Some people like to resign early, some like to resign late, some don't like to resign at all

[rich sapphire]

Because no 300 is converting that position accurately

[limpid viper]

Nah I realised i might be smart vro

[hearty kite]

real.

[loud dome]

Ironic that chess shows you how dumb you are

[tacit wren]

"A person who calls themselves dumb is actually smart and one who calls themselves smart is..."

-Albert Einstein 1924 alne der te hall

[rich sapphire]

How inattentive* you are

[loud dome]

What

[rich sapphire]

[hearty kite]

or how much focused you are

[rich sapphire]

Not paying attention

[hearty kite]

which levels to 0 in most times lmao

[compact kite]

Hello

[harsh kite]

literally learning anything

[limpid viper]

Ye but I’m better vro

[real furnace]

Strongest 2k player:

[main owl]

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS WEEK I STALEMATED IN A WINNING POSITION JESUS CHRIST 😭

[spring lion]

Took a draw in +2 and +3 game

[spring lion]

Show!

[mortal bronze]

what made you come to this conclusion?

[versed ermine]

Good Morning

[spring lion]

Take opposition

[spring lion]

Second one is understandable tbh

[main owl]

Yeah... In the first one, I had 17s left on the clock so I didn't think that much.

Second one was hard to see, yeah.

[spring lion]

It’s fine just be careful in the future

[main owl]

All right, thanks :)

[spring lion]

In this case play kf3 then kg3 next move

Kf3 is hard to spot for a 600

Just make sure when the kings face each other, it’s your opponent to move and not you

Or else it’s a draw

[kindred crypt]

🍏
