[fair wren]

Vasily Smyslov?

[orchid sedge]

Yeah? then tell me why one position is winning and one a draw 😭

[plucky ginkgo]

Max Euwe was super strong tho

[torpid pewter]

im not finding the button bruh

[plucky ginkgo]

Yeah that guy

[reef canyon]

does he count

[amber gorge]

endgames are so ez

[reef canyon]

he won during the fide split

[orchid sedge]

ofc they are

[small jungle]

Because blacks king is on different squares

[reef canyon]

so technically not disputed

[fair wren]

Euwe was a mathematics teacher

[orchid sedge]

OH YEAH OF COURSE OMG THANKS DOBYVATEL !!!!!!!!!

[plucky ginkgo]

Id say the Fide split counts

[amber gorge]

thats a huge blunder omg

[small jungle]

Vro has phd in sarcasm💔

[orchid sedge]

its so crazy that this is a frucking zugzwang too like

[orchid sedge]

exactly !!!!

[torpid pewter]

How can i put photo like i wanna know how i loose so much elo without actually doing anything

[amber gorge]

tbh id play that i js lost my confidence in endgames

[fair wren]

what’s zugzwang? A German word? jk I know what it is

[orchid sedge]

i sacrasm the sarcasm bro

[plucky ginkgo]

Its two german words

[amber gorge]

probably not id prolly give a discovered check cz its cool

[sleek orbit]

basically its when its ur turn and all ur legal remaining moves are all losing

[plucky ginkgo]

atheists

[fair wren]

Atheists

[amber gorge]

why dont u just not play a move

[sleek orbit]

gl

[fair wren]

Where are the atheists

[grave solar]

i think the soviets were atheist so that

[orchid sedge]

They are so easy though, its so obvious that you have to triangulate your King using zugzwangs....

[plucky ginkgo]

I mean its the Soviets not religious people

[devout zodiac]

king on g7 is closer to f8 so when black checks u and u zigzag till the rook, u can play Re1 and Kf8 isn't possible to stop the pawn

[small jungle]

What religion were soviets

[torpid pewter]

well if i cant show photo i can send my user on chess .com and someone could check check why i lost so much problem elo for no reason

[nimble glen]

they were closeted orthodoxy

[amber gorge]

oh so i was correct

[plucky ginkgo]

Mostly atheists

[robust furnace]

One of the variations of this puzzle (Nevertheless, black is winning)

1. Qa7 Be5 2. Bh3 Bc6 3. bxc6 {-0.82 ➤ -M7 ??BLUNDER, Best Move Was:}(f4 exf3 Qf2 Qf4) Rxh3 4. gxh3 Qg5+ 5. Kh1 Qf4 6. Qc7 Qh2#

[amber gorge]

i js regained my confidence

[small jungle]

Ye I was thinking that or orthodox

But probably atheist

[orchid sedge]

yeppp thats exactly the point, its hella hard to figure this out without any hints and engine anlysis in a real game tho 😭

[foggy comet]

kasparov and fischer were both jewish

[fair wren]

Instead of taking the bishop on c6, just queen e3

[torpid pewter]

can someone explain why i lost so much elo problems without doing anything my user is moutonsheep11

[small jungle]

Puzzle rating system got reworked

[plucky ginkgo]

Religion was under heavy repression in the ussr

[devout zodiac]

without pointing it's a blunder i probably wouldve never found it

[small jungle]

Ye I know

Atheist it is then

[robust furnace]

What move number are you saying bro

[plucky ginkgo]

They werent. The soviets were mainly atheists

[amber gorge]

guys can u solve a mate in 20

[robust furnace]

1., 2., 3.

[torpid pewter]

oh i was mad i went from 2100 almost 2200 after doing months of problems and now im 1500´

[fair wren]

After you play bishop c6 which is the brilliant sacrifice

I play queen e3

[orchid sedge]

yeah its a really small difference

[nimble glen]

Ye

[amber gorge]

u sure?

[robust furnace]

Rook defends

[tawdry mango]

bro what on earth happened to my puzzle rating

[plucky ginkgo]

https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNjVuamJveGNvdXFsaG1qdm81dHRlbHVsNnZza2tvb2lkOXJyOWJ3aSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/tI0a0QzIRmzDShP23b/giphy.gif

[orchid sedge]

but i wouldnt even think or the idea of Ra1-e1 tho thats already too abstract for me 😭

[robust furnace]

And you will lose material

[orchid sedge]

they reworked it

[fair wren]

you serious bro?

After you play bishop c6

[devout zodiac]

I lost 500 points

[robust furnace]

Dude check it yourself

[fair wren]

I play queen e3 instead of taking on c6

You already sacrificed your rook and you brought it back?

[reef canyon]

black has no Kf8 on the right

[idle oracle]

lucena position?

[fair wren]

lol

[reef canyon]

thats the keydifference

[robust furnace]

Mb that's another variation

[devout zodiac]

idk if u would need to know a lot of endgame theory but ig this is why endgames are harder than anything

[orchid sedge]

thats no lucena the rook is on the a-file

[robust furnace]

This is the actual puzzle winning variation

[tawdry mango]

i havent played a single puzzle in a year and they took away 700 points 💀

[orchid sedge]

yeahhh, im working through dvoretsky now and shereshevsky to improve them because of that

[fair wren]

I mean if white plays the blunders then black wins, but it’s a draw if white plays the moves to draw the game

[small jungle]

Rook endgames are tuff tbh

[reef canyon]

this looks more like a kling & horowitz

[robust furnace]

The only winning move is not taking the Bishop on C6 and Pawn to f4

[reef canyon]

but its not exactly a kling & horowitz

[orchid sedge]

the rook is cutting of the king on the 8th rank, so its not a lucena

[fair wren]

Try queen e3

I want to see why is it losing then

[devout zodiac]

😭

[tawdry mango]

my last rated puzzle was september 2024 bruh. i didnt abuse the messed up puzzle system in 2025. they just decreased for no reason???

[orchid sedge]

k&h is only if the rook is on the rear of the pawn tho no?

[lean pecan]

why no atheist option?

[robust furnace]

Rook takes the queen on e3, this variation doesn't sacrifice the rook early

[devout zodiac]

good luck :3

[fair wren]

No I mean after bishop c6

[robust furnace]

Yeah rook isn't sacrificed yet

[fair wren]

bro you can’t be kidding me

[small jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/lotr-so-you-have-chosen-death-chosen-death-lord-of-the-rings-gif-15767548

[robust furnace]

Check yourself

1. Qa7 Be5 2. Bh3 Bc6 3. bxc6 {-0.82 ➤ -M7 ??BLUNDER, Best Move Was:}(f4 exf3 Qf2 Qf4) Rxh3 4. gxh3 Qg5+ 5. Kh1 Qf4 6. Qc7 Qh2#

[orchid sedge]

as of now i enjoy it ;33

[fair wren]

Rook takes h3 and the rook is gone

Oh that’s another variation

[lean pecan]

this aint even a question bro

[small jungle]

I hate studying endgames tbh

[fair wren]

I am talking about the other variation

[orchid sedge]

ive already read 4 pages in 2 hours so that means something !!! :3

[orchid sedge]

yeah to study endgames you have to find interest in them

[robust furnace]

That's the wrong one, I wrote the wrong move order

[orchid sedge]

the thing is that at some point you just have to study endgames to improve

[celest wing]

https://tenor.com/view/keep-crying-light-yagami-evil-just-as-planned-planned-gif-26280713

[robust furnace]

Im a 500 elo yk I cannot remember moves that clearly

[small jungle]

Middle game is just more fun

[fair wren]

but queen e3 after bishop c6 sacrifice is a draw

[small jungle]

Openings aswell

[fair wren]

I also checked it on the engine

[small jungle]

I just can't bring myself to enjoy endgames

[fair wren]

To make sure

[lean pecan]

i mean sumtimes it can be complicated but i find it rlly interesting

[plucky ginkgo]

I really think people underestimate the top huamns. If the 10 best players look at it all at the same time id say theyd have a chance

[robust furnace]

You mean the correct variation or the wrong one?

[reef canyon]

im saying it looks more like a k&h

than a lucena

[orchid sedge]

endgames are so hella interesting, i also thought that way, till i analyzed some endgames with my coach and he made me fell in love with them

[reef canyon]

anyways, the key difference is that black has no Kf8 after a certain line

[lean pecan]

lc0's chess rating is abt 3600

[small jungle]

Maybe I should study endgames fr

[orchid sedge]

yeaaa, thats so hard to point out during a real game tho

[small jungle]

But I wanna improve my middlegame first

[nocturne plover]

I have the books 2 parts of jesus de la villa endgames and shereshevsky practical endgames
I am just lazy

[reef canyon]

if the black king was on g7 there is Kf8! saving the game

white can force a lucena position out of this now

[plucky ginkgo]

simulated chess ratings. Also Ten top gms will draw any engine

[reef canyon]

i love rook endgames dawg

[orchid sedge]

Yeaaa, dvoretsky has explained it to me after me trying to find why ra1 doesnt work for like 10 mintues 😭

[orchid sedge]

theye are so amaaazinggggg

[lean pecan]

bro we are talking about a chess bot that literally is already thinking about the endgame from the first move

[orchid sedge]

if you dont like studying endgames you're never gonna study them, you have to have that mindset

[reef canyon]

not to brag but yea i kinda spotted it after a minute bcs ive already taught rook endgames to one of the kids im coaching

[magic shard]

bro thinks he's manter

[lean pecan]

i once watched a game between two versions of stockfish, each side only having 1/10th of a milisecond to make a move, and it played better than i ever could (1/1000th of a second)

[kindred crypt]

Hi endgame master Manteur sir

[orchid sedge]

Yeah... i thought that White also has a lucena there after Kf8, but actually this is the lucena theoretical draw 😭

[orchid sedge]

HIII HAZEL !!!! (sir :3)

[robust furnace]

First puzzle variation if they take Bishop on c6 @fair wren

[nocturne plover]

I've read like half of 1st part of jesus de la villa 100 endgames you must know and you know what its not that bad

[magic shard]

this looks like an easy draw

[orchid sedge]

yeah you just check from the side

[orchid sedge]

reading and actually retaining the information is kinda different tho

[magic shard]

who's lichess study is that

[lean pecan]

u wanna play?

[waxen arrow]

Why gotham be like “200 elo chess ruined my life” its not that deep 💔

[orchid sedge]

my

[reef canyon]

k&h esque type of position where black can give horizontal checks

[plucky ginkgo]

YT shorts puzzle final boss

[orchid sedge]

some of my analysis from dvoretsky's endgame manual

[magic shard]

there's a lot of text

[reef canyon]

the key factor is the only thing protecting the white pawn is the king

[shy kayak]

I need some help. My puzzle elo dropped by round about 500 points without me doing some thing anyone know what it could be?

[robust furnace]

@nocturne plover You think you can win as Black in this position

[plucky ginkgo]

Not really. Why

[lean pecan]

cuz im bored and wanna play sum1

[orchid sedge]

in k&h black does that too?? 😭

[magic shard]

Ding game right

[orchid sedge]

isnt this the thing that gotham made a video on?

[nocturne plover]

You just need to have a repeat like read once read again the difficult chapters after a week filter the most difficult ones for you read it again after a month and itll be set

[plucky ginkgo]

didnt gotham cover this years ago

[robust furnace]

Yeah

[orchid sedge]

yeah, but i feel like you would get so burnt out if you dont enjoy studying it

[reef canyon]

Ra1 only move to give horizontal checks

[nocturne plover]

Against someone higher rated prolly no against someone my rating I won't loose

[robust furnace]

A upload a year ago doesn't mean everyone knows it

[orchid sedge]

it was some ||Bc6|| type shi ye?

[plucky ginkgo]

Yeah of course

[robust furnace]

2 brilliant sacrifices and one that's pretty dumb looking but actually 🔥

[plucky ginkgo]

After a few moves

[reef canyon]

Rh1 doesnt work because black king blocks the 7th rank

[orchid sedge]

wow.. the rook is on the short side tho isnt it a draw then???

[reef canyon]

k&h is a draw yes

[reef canyon]

it doesnt matter in this case the black king is close enough to the rook and pawn

[orchid sedge]

thats crazy wow

[lean pecan]

yk ive always wondered how high of a depth stockfish could reach from the starting position if given literally all the computing power in the world

[grave solar]

yeah im fairly sure ive seen it before

[magic shard]

nevermind I'm stupid ding didn't play that game

[reef canyon]

if white tries to dislodge our rook then black has Ke7!

the resulting pawn endgame is a draw

[orchid sedge]

what if the rook is not on e1?

[celest wing]

Who y'all think is the hottest female chess player?

[reef canyon]

wdym

[nimble glen]

If u think about it, god if she exists, is an atheist
cuz there is no need to believe in a higher power, when u are all of it

[reef canyon]

the white rook is on d8, the black rook started at d1

[nimble glen]

@celest wing

[modest spear]

Habibi how is that not a mistake

[orchid sedge]

cant the white rook go to b1/c1 and the king to c6 and advance the pawn that way? how black defends then

[reef canyon]

if the white rook moves black goes Rd1

[orchid sedge]

and what after kc6?

[magic shard]

its called a "blacks so cooked it doesn't matter what he does because everything's losing" move

[reef canyon]

since the rook and the pawn are no loonger on the same file

[reef canyon]

Ke7

[modest spear]

I'm just tilted ig lol

[reef canyon]

i can pretty much draw the K&H blindfolded atp lol

[magic shard]

what endgame are you analyzing send the position

[orchid sedge]

OHH

and its gonna like transpose to a philidor??

[reef canyon]

if white gives up control of the 8th rank yea

[modest spear]

I swear I just tilted I usually do better than this

[orchid sedge]

we stopped already

[magic shard]

that's ok

[modest spear]

Oh wait

You didn't mean my game

[reef canyon]

atp its an ez draw lol if white gives checks its now a philidor

[modest spear]

Sorry mb

[magic shard]

this is simple right

[kindred crypt]

sup, could anyone help me reviewing a game that i played today?
im 570 and somehow there was a brilliant move

[orchid sedge]

thats so interesting wow, i didnt know that rook on the short side is still a draw

[magic shard]

its ok I still looked at your game

[modest spear]

Sure

[orchid sedge]

not for me 😭

[magic shard]

I wouldn't play Bc5 in the opening do you usually do that

[magic shard]

Where are the tricks then

[reef canyon]

the determining factor here is how close the black king is

[modest spear]

Nah

[magic shard]

gets hit with d4 right that's annoying

[modest spear]

Yea I have to agree

[orchid sedge]

oh thats something im gonna keep in mind then

[reef canyon]

it definitely can be on the long side too if it's setup like this (actually this is just way easier lol)

[crude anvil]

Why is c3 inaccuracy

[radiant dagger]

Guys i need motivation

[crude anvil]

Play chess

[magic shard]

you could play Be7 instead of d5 or c5 to control some center squares or b6 to prepare Bb7 (just watch out for Ne5 attacking a8 then you'll play d5)

[radiant dagger]

It's depressing

[reef canyon]

the motivation: grandmaster mommy

[crude anvil]

Then watch chess

[short summit]

Hi chat

[radiant dagger]

The better move might be d4 i think

[radiant dagger]

YES I WILL DO IT

[quaint trellis]

@plucky kelp
I lost so many matches

[high valley]

Second brilliant move ,Jesus christ

[orchid sedge]

yeaa

[quaint trellis]

@plucky kelp from 1270 to 1240

[severe crystal]

how many

[magic shard]

oh it's black to move

I was confused because it looked hard to defend but that's because white is winning if it's their move

[quaint trellis]

More than 20
I won matches n then lost then won again n then lost

[orchid sedge]

how is this brilliant what 😭

[radiant dagger]

Did you saw that move ?

[amber gorge]

[quaint trellis]

[plucky kelp]

[magic shard]

[limpid viper]

did you ever untilt in blitz

[plucky kelp]

Are you gonna skull react me every time I type a cat face

[magic shard]

idk

[quaint trellis]

Bruh

[orchid sedge]

amazing sacrifice 😔

[quaint trellis]

I need advice

[magic shard]

usually depends on how im feeling

[quaint trellis]

[high valley]

Check the king with the horse and you take the queen with the bishop

[magic shard]

I wouldn't say amazing but it is a sacrifice

[plucky kelp]

Oh hai manter! :3

[orchid sedge]

how the hell is this a sacrifice in what way

[open tusk]

.

[oblique dagger]

Hai master

[high valley]

Yep always check the king

[tawdry mango]

aint no way im getting pinged by the likes of you it's obvious buddy

[magic shard]

black moved a knight onto a square where it can be taken

Oh wow... Well I guess I really did well apart those blunders I've made today

[acoustic saffron]

How did we get here?

[modest spear]

Thank you

[short summit]

@plucky kelp any advices against 2000 rated 70+ FM in classical?

[plucky kelp]

You're welcome

[acoustic saffron]

70+ as in 70+ years old?

[modest spear]

Guys, do you think it would be right to say that there are more blundering moves on the board rather than good moves?

[short summit]

Yes

[amber gorge]

i told him this qxh6 is better than rxf6

[orchid sedge]

okay it might look kinda absurd without context 😭

[acoustic saffron]

Either play some weird opening gambit trap or play solid chess.

[plucky kelp]

your only weakness is opening,
try to prepare a lot in the opening and don't get caught off-guard
also stay calm

[short summit]

I'll stay solid

I mean it depends what he starts with

[modest spear]

Is that my game with guts

[granite plover]

who did this

[modest spear]

I did

[granite plover]

what opening should i play

[acoustic saffron]

He has the white pieces?

[spice pasture]

[plucky kelp]

I'm not good at chess 😭

[short summit]

I'll remember your name man

guys can someone give me an actual list with all of the openings ever in chess

i will learn the ruy lopez

if it's fun

[plucky kelp]

If I did I would get banned for "text-wall"

[amber gorge]

ALL OF THE OPENINGS!?

[modest spear]

If you only could imagine how many openings there are...

[granite plover]

few thousand

it could be a link

[spice pasture]

you wouldn't get past the discord message character limit

[amber gorge]

and thousands of more variations

[granite plover]

let's just hypothetically say infinite

[visual plover]

I have every single opening in a list I'll send it in dms

[orchid sedge]

thats such a funny graph wow, d4 was more popular than e4 at some point 😭

[granite plover]

send it here

[modest spear]

You can't assume that

[granite plover]

why can't i

[visual plover]

Um.... I'm not sure I can i that

[short summit]

Massive?

[modest spear]

Because then chess would have infinite pieces and infinite amount of squares

[modest spear]

[reef canyon]

They mfs in the 1800s and early 1900s were playing kings gambit every other game

[plucky kelp]

bro manter isn't evil

[modest spear]

No there's a finite amount

[south arrow]

Hello, does anyone wanna play a game

[lone totem]

Apro is a dude 😭

[modest spear]

[amber gorge]

[spice pasture]

??

[solemn plank]

huh???

[granite plover]

i will not become a foam boy

[amber gorge]

jk im saying that u meant to play Bd4

[plucky kelp]

The only reason you can't beat Mody is because you didn't train hard enough. ||(and also because Mody is a femboy furry and you're not)||

[amber gorge]

and not Bd3

[modest spear]

ABSOLUTELY TRUE

[orchid sedge]

no not really

[amber gorge]

he can beat mody rn

[solemn plank]

that'll just cover my rook's vision

[granite plover]

on who?????

[orchid sedge]

its crazy that kings gambit has so much variation compared to like carokann for example

[granite plover]

I will learn caro-kann echange variation no??

[spice pasture]

[pale pollen]

guys so I tried the comet open

[spice pasture]

bro

[pale pollen]

and I lost

[granite plover]

@amber gorge

[pale pollen]

didn't won

[plucky kelp]

what

[granite plover]

hey

[orchid sedge]

nah

[granite plover]

will anyone practice king's gambit with me

[pale pollen]

I finished 48 on 1050

[spice pasture]

you were watching apro

[plucky kelp]

Apro is up a pawn. And this game won't take long so I'm sure I'll come back to see Apro completely winning :3

[short summit]

If I'll get into an equal endgame I'm defo offering a draw imo

[spice pasture]

hikaru is losing

[plucky kelp]

WAIT WHAT

[granite plover]

I get the basic concept of the king's gambit

[spice pasture]

click bait, but he's a bit worse

[granite plover]

@plucky kelp

[plucky kelp]

STILL... WHAT

[rancid eagle]

Hi

[granite plover]

what's going on

[spice pasture]

the lil girl equalised

[foggy comet]

hikaru is struggling to beat a 12 year old girl rn

[granite plover]

wow

i thought he was the goat after magnus

[plucky kelp]

Nice! still remember that opening isn't where you win, it's where you set up for the middlegame.
You can win instantly in king's gambit sure but you shouldn't rely too much on it

[foggy comet]

https://lichess.org/broadcast/2025-maritime-open-championship/round-1/O4L48rxJ/lT8z0Y67

[spice pasture]

I don't like you

[foggy comet]

he's not even the 2nd best player of his generation

[granite plover]

Can you rate my knowledge on it?

1. E4 E5 2. F4 E5 take F4 NF3 then G5

the point is to agressively win the weak pawn of the defense ( f pawn probably ) and gain that to the advantge by quickly developing quicker than the opponent and then to agressively check the king by the move H4 kinda?

[plucky kelp]

that is basically the starting position of the King's gambit.
you learned how to ARRIVE at the king's gambit, now you need to choose which path to go for

[foggy comet]

12

[granite plover]

i will support you

Why you giving slangs what did i do

[wet cypress]

The closer you get to knowing everything, the less there is left to know - and without the unknown, even knowledge loses its point.

[compact wadi]

man in an imporant tournament , i was a knight up , but due to time pressure i blundered it in one move and lost a drawed game due to less time

[modest spear]

The more you know, the less you know, actually.

[plucky kelp]

Ofc! ^w^

[compact wadi]

the game was rook and king vs rook and king but i was less on time , and lost my important match , it was semi final

Knowledge is infinite. And the more you get to know, the more you realise how much there is to learn. Eventually you understand that the more knowledge you have, the more branches of it there's to learn for you

man how do i gain chess skills now , i am 1384 , loosing , and lost an major tournament , i lacked opening skills a bit , and middlegame was trash in an important game , still managed to be a knight up in the endgame , but blundered it , it was a draw but i was low on time and lost , what should i do to become better

Bro 400 elo played so well

[wet cypress]

But unless it's on an infinite scale every single thing you get to know would only be a step closer to knowing everything or at least, knowing how to know everything. Even at that "some point", things that you've learnt would be learnt. You would only find out that there is more to learn but that wasn't a new piece of info.

[torn maple]

d4 c6 e4 f6, wtf

[marble silo]

@wet cypress come dm

[modest spear]

You're not wrong, but we're humans, and considering how narrow human perception is, for us, the branches of knowledge only expand and increase. You'd get closer to knowing more but with how actually narrow our perception is, we could never even be approaching to know everything.
Also, speaking biologically, there is a limit to human brain amount of information that can be stored, so you can't know more. You'll just watch how knowledge keeps expanding.

[granite plover]

[deft laurel]

According to stockfish Rf4x is brilliant. I cant tell why, anyone got an explanation?

[main lantern]

Bro I swear these fu kingplayers who can’t play well so they just keep going for tricks piss me off so much

[chilly ingot]

e5 maybe

[main lantern]

They refuse to use their f king brains but there is always hope even in the most lost positions

[deft laurel]

For white, after Rf4x the best move is Bf4x

[rich sapphire]

They must be good at fu

For help?
