[ancient zealot]

cantonese is still a chinese language right

[lament barn]

[wet hollow]

Isnt it catalan?

[tribal sage]

define chinese language

[fiery jasper]

Wht happen

[ancient zealot]

a language commonly used in china

thats native to it

[tribal sage]

sure ig

[lament barn]

Wright in Chinese but when we talk it would be a lil bit different

[idle oracle]

no it's a dialect

[polar rampart]

i lagged out

[idle oracle]

the difference is that there's no written form of cantonese

[fossil bloom]

announcement 📢 : tcec is experimenting with a new variant of top chess, everything is the same but if the game doesn't end after 180 full moves, whoever king is closer to the center semi-wins (0.75-0.25)

Interesting update imo

[torn maple]

Isnt cantonese a Chinese dialect?

[fiery jasper]

Okkk

[polar rampart]

im playing on public wifi let's do again

[ancient zealot]

?

[tribal sage]

language not dialect 😡

[ancient zealot]

its differnet enough from mandarin to be its own language right

[tribal sage]

WE ARE A SEPARATE LANGUAGE

[idle oracle]

its not a language because theres no written form

[fiery jasper]

Yeah i send you req

[tribal sage]

YES THERE IS

[fiery jasper]

Challenge req*

[lament barn]

Indeed

[torn maple]

Sorry, i just said what i often see people call it online, didnt mean to be rude in any way.

[tribal sage]

I agree but some disagree

[idle oracle]

how do you write cantonese that isnt just mandarin

[tribal sage]

no I was just being passionate

[fossil bloom]

Cantonese is older than Mandarin

[tribal sage]

你痴咗線？- that doesn't exist in mandarin

[topaz mango]

funny bullet trick. u can check their king while also "attacking" a distant opponent queen. many times the opponent just moves king and hangs queen. ofcourse they can take u but its unlikely in a time scramble

dirty tricks

[south token]

you should link your accounts

[tribal sage]

I mean yall should only be HKer, the Cantonese have a firewall. Unless lucky enough to see a Macao guy but that’s rare.

I used to

[viral frost]

im better than 88.1 percent of bullet players

[tribal sage]

before I went into chess

[rare carbon]

My first ever brilliant move.. although I couldn't capitalize and lost... killed a pawn

[topaz mango]

not that. like black queen on a1 , you check the black king(say on g8) on a8 , and after they move their king u take Qxa1

[dull matrix]

I saw my friend playing against it otb

[coral raven]

this is the line

[merry bough]

I sent the line in the message

[ancient zealot]

why doesnt the bot load the game up when i send it

[coral raven]

for anyone who doesnt know it

[burnt mesa]

Tf is white doing

[merry bough]

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c5 4.d5 b5

[coral raven]

sacrificing bishop for compensation that actually works

[timber badge]

It's equal

[viral frost]

playing chess

[potent gulch]

There's a fork if axb5, the idea is just to expose the king basically ye

[burnt mesa]

Why do people not play normal chess and go into Endgames

[burnt mesa]

Bruh

[coral raven]

my guys its the sveshnikov if i wanted an endgame i would play the alapin

even though all sicilian endgames are better for black

[potent gulch]

It gives the opponent more chance 😞

[timber badge]

💀

[viral frost]

i dnt understand

[burnt mesa]

Chance of failing 🙈

[timber badge]

Play 7. Nd5

[potent gulch]

Yooo another sveshnikov twin 🔥

[timber badge]

It's insanely good

[coral raven]

i dont play it

[burnt mesa]

Nahh i gotta win a scillian player

[coral raven]

yea i heard nd5 is super annoying

i know there is this like old old wesley so line

with nd5 nd5 nb8 qf3

and he beat magnoose

[timber badge]

Not that line

Play qa4 qb4 shi

[potent gulch]

Axb5 nxb5 how do u stop the fork on c7? Rb8 nx7+ ke7 and if I'm not missing anything, white has some counterplay against black's king now stuck in the center

[potent gulch]

Awww 😞

[coral raven]

what which line is that

[torn maple]

Bro, you knew i am brazilian 🥲

[wet hollow]

I confused this with reverse blumenfeld gambit.
Do you play catalan by any chance?

[coral raven]

axb5 nxb5 you play ra4

[timber badge]

Like the mainline of 7 nd5

[potent gulch]

I've got confused cuz different pfp 😞 Lol, I remember u now Ashby 🔥

[merry bough]

No, but it wouldn’t matter anyway because that’s on move 4

[timber badge]

I remember carlsen vs karajkin

[potent gulch]

Ahaaa makes more sense to take the knight if nc7+ right?

[coral raven]

ah you mean ne7 not nb8

[timber badge]

O ye

[wet hollow]

whats your main opening? Queens gambit?

[coral raven]

eh the point is to attack e4 iirc

[burnt mesa]

U know what ama play sodium

[merry bough]

Yes but that’s with 1..d5

[coral raven]

idk the thing about the open sicilian is that the nc6 sicilians are pretty good

[merry bough]

My main opening is 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Nc3

[potent gulch]

I see, sounds quite uncomfortable to play as black here tbh, at least myself Lol

[coral raven]

however God made the rossolimo for a reason

[wet hollow]

I see, how about we not play 3. Nf3 and play 3. Nc3 instead

[merry bough]

3..Bb4 is good for black

[celest niche]

hi

[burnt mesa]

I mean the strongest piece in scillian is the dark squared bishop and c6 knight

[wet hollow]

As a svesh hater, I disagree

[merry bough]

I don’t like the Nimzo as white

[fossil bloom]

I read that awfully wrong

[coral raven]

i dont play long chess games cause i win quick

[ancient zealot]

lets fking go im at 1950 so close to 2000

[merry bough]

Back down to 1919 after that loss

[ancient zealot]

~0 cause i dont remember my games

[coral raven]

although i mthinking of playing some anti sicilian

just dont know which one

[fossil bloom]

weird, I even remember my bullet games

[ancient zealot]

tf

you remember every single move?

[fossil bloom]

no shit?

[atomic yacht]

Alapin but considering your rating probably no.

[ancient zealot]

just u bronana peel

[coral raven]

i dont remember the last game i played bro and im 2400

[coral raven]

alapin is sooo overrated at high level

so you're right on the probably no

[ancient zealot]

yeah same

[chilly hull]

.

[ancient zealot]

like half the moves i make in <1s how am i supposed to remember it all

[timber badge]

im back

[wet hollow]

Ngl twin you have like 3 options

1. Learn how to counter blumenfeld gambit
2. play into nimzo (although idk what you are scared of in nimzo)
3. play 3. g3 and play catalan
   Either way, you are gonna have to learn something

[coral raven]

thing about anti sicilians is like theres only a few that are good

[fleet dove]

Hi back

[wet hollow]

Ugh, the opening nerd is here

[atomic yacht]

So I’d rather you play 2. Nf3 and against the 3 main moves:

-Moscow against d6

-Rossolimo against Nc6

-For e6 it depends on what you want. You can go d4, but c4, b3 are cool sidelines to sidestep it.

[fleet dove]

There’s only 2 (two) that are good

[merry bough]

It’s one guy and I found what I was missing

[coral raven]

b3 i kinda like too

i played it in some random bullet game and it became my best bullet win lo

[wet hollow]

is alapin one of them?

[tribal sage]

which is?

[fleet dove]

No

[merry bough]

What about 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Nge2 Nd4

[timber badge]

alapin kinda underrated

[wet hollow]

What are they?

[timber badge]

na3 alapin*

[fleet dove]

Ts ass

[coral raven]

ah na3 alapin isnt bad

[wet hollow]

Wtf is Na3 alapin

[buoyant warren]

e4 c5 nc3 nc6 bb5 is tuff tho

[fleet dove]

Na3 is the only correct way to play alapin imo

[coral raven]

alright bones what do youj think are the 2 good antis

[merry bough]

There are two goofy lines, one where black sacrifices 3 pawns and one where black sacrifices an exchange

[fleet dove]

But you shouldn’t be playing the alapin in the first place

[timber badge]

my goat @old lantern 's propaganda shall not fade away

[ancient zealot]

or just dont play like 1.d4

[timber badge]

yes its unethical

but if u play alapin play na3

[merry bough]

I figured out what I was missing, an e4 pawn break

[atomic yacht]

It’s a little tougher on e6.
The Kramnik (c4) is pretty cool.
You can go back to the Alapin with c3.
And b3 is a delayed b3.

[coral raven]

playing the alapin is like playing the exchange french

[merry bough]

Stops the center pawns

[torn maple]

Im close to 1800 in blitz 🔥

[tribal sage]

I play that too

[timber badge]

CALL ME INSANE BUT EXCHANGE FRENCH IS SO WINNABLE FOR BOTH SIDES

[fleet dove]

The one that has killed 2…Nc6 and the one that basically gives you an Italian/ruy type of position

[coral raven]

ah rossolimo obviously

[atomic yacht]

But trust, Moscow and Rossolimo is not really that much theory compared to what you probably wanna avoid.

[ancient zealot]

personally i play f3 kf2 and f6 kf7 so nobody can use their opening repertoire

[wet hollow]

What is this vro

[coral raven]

rossolimo even better than the open against nc6 i would argue

[fleet dove]

Yea

[fleet dove]

I agree 100%

[smoky sinew]

What up chat

[coral raven]

which one is the italian/ruy one

[fleet dove]

Moscow

[timber badge]

i eat rossolimo's for breakfast

[coral raven]

ah moscow also good too

[wet hollow]

Same 🥱

(only 3 people in my life have ever played rosolimo against me)

[timber badge]

rossolimo is so annoying tho

[coral raven]

lol in terms of rossolimo i had equal position vs IM otb just choked it

[wet hollow]

Well I am 1900

[coral raven]

literally just neutralised it and just lost cause im trash

[timber badge]

so like ffide i assume right

[fleet dove]

E6 d6 or g6

[atomic yacht]

Though Nc6, Nd7, Bd7 all have to be learnt but let’s be real it’s not that much already.

[fleet dove]

Or nf6 (ew)

[coral raven]

none, nf6 like a boss

[wet hollow]

:)

[fleet dove]

Wtf

[wet hollow]

I am 1410 fide 🥀

[fleet dove]

I am a hater of the nf6 rossolimo I’m not ashamed to admit it

[coral raven]

https://s1.chess-results.com/PartieSuche.aspx?art=36&id=6105719

[idle oracle]

wow nice

[coral raven]

look at how badly he played vs it

even dumb 1858 equalises vs it

[smoky sinew]

Is it like selecting another world champion

[wet hollow]

@coral raven 🥺

[timber badge]

nf6 is insanely good

[atomic yacht]

I do really wanna say though,
The Alapin is an extremely good anti-Sicilian.

But because of that fact that it’s a good anti-Sicilian, black at higher level should be extremely well-equipped against it. So yeah, that kinda makes the viability decrease.

[potent parrot]

we all know who is real champ

I asked will it be another world championship

[merry bough]

Okay figured it out, I need to play e4 to break up the center

That’s the idea I was missing

[potent parrot]

[merry bough]

Not my game, just a 2400 beating up a 2100

[fossil bloom]

player 200 elo higher than you offers a draw as white, would u accept? (classical)

[merry bough]

2466 vs 2123

[torn maple]

Yeah

[idle oracle]

yes

[atomic yacht]

I’d recommend the prins too if you don’t really like the Moscow but black equalises.

[tribal sage]

yes

[torn maple]

Dude could be 300 rated below and i would accept

[coral raven]

the prins super boring tho

[merry bough]

Yes, unless I need the win for placement/awards

[torn maple]

I hate being 3 pawns for a piece

[timber badge]

no

[tribal sage]

wait actually no because 100+200=300

[smoky sinew]

Oh so it's not it

[timber badge]

i decline the draw offer and lose

[atomic yacht]

Yeah in that case just stick to Bb5+

[fleet dove]

Real

[fossil bloom]

how bro felt :

[wet hollow]

[atomic yacht]

Since c3 is sometimes taken away Na3 is one of the ways for white to attempt solving the problem.

There you go.

[wet hollow]

Imagine needing prep to beat me smh

[fleet dove]

Bro said sometimes

[wet hollow]

you like 600 elo more than me

wtf is 3.e5

3.e5 black is equal immediately

no theory needed

Na3 feels like an idea more than a specific move that has to be played on one moment.

[remote kettle]

Hi

[willow owl]

Hi father

[coral raven]

great tournament i played right guys

[timber badge]

@fleet dove what do u play against qg

[wet hollow]

I mean I do know when mfs play Na3
Either way against Nf6 alapin, Nf3 Bc4>>>

[torn maple]

Im sure that after e4 c5 c3 d5 you play e5

[fleet dove]

I play my goated original repertoire Nc6 b6

[coral raven]

no bro?? exd

[fleet dove]

Hello my child

[timber badge]

😭 be honest u thought u were gonna farm tf out of these players right

[fleet dove]

But I have most games in the Benko

[coral raven]

hell nah LOL

i thought i would get at least 1.5/9 though

[timber badge]

BRO I DID THE SAME U CAN BE HONEST

[torn maple]

Whats wrong with e5 🥺

[coral raven]

and i had like at least 3 positions that were draws

[coral raven]

worse french/caro

[atomic yacht]

Maybe an idea too but it’s mainly the fact that there’s no Nc3.

[burnt mesa]

French

[timber badge]

im so delusional i actually believe in myself to cook 2500+ consistently

[fleet dove]

e5 allows bf5

[coral raven]

nah i had some good games in the tournament

[static furnace]

BULLET.IS.TRASH

[timber badge]

can u send all ur games in dms 👉 👈

[coral raven]

im playing an open this month so now anyone under 2300 is cooked

[wet hollow]

Tell me what Na3 is or I will make you see Manter openings

[coral raven]

dont look at the first game or the game vs kadric

[fleet dove]

How do you know Manter is my weakness

[coral raven]

first game is just mega mega mega trash

[willow owl]

Uhh whats your rating?

[atomic yacht]

In the French the drawback is that there’s a bad bishop.

In the Caro the drawback is that c6-c5 takes two tempi.

e5 gives black neither drawback.

[coral raven]

says it, 1858

[wet hollow]

Well he is my weakness too
(his openings make me wanna drown in a cup of water)

[fleet dove]

Manter genuinely has the worst openings of all time

[remote kettle]

Who will play 5 min

[willow owl]

"Bla, bla, bla your openings suck.".
-Bones to Manter

[fleet dove]

In terms of he actually preps bad lines

[static furnace]

What about c5

[wet hollow]

And he is almost 2k fide 😭 🙏

[fleet dove]

And not just that he doesn’t knoe them

[coral raven]

out of these games, games 4, 5, 7, 8 were definetly draws

[atomic yacht]

I just explained no…?

[willow owl]

Not worse than me?

[coral raven]

just that im mega trash to convert t hem

[static furnace]

Mb

[fleet dove]

The difference is you don’t know your openings so of course they’ll be trash

Manter makes lichess studies of deliberately losing lines

[remote kettle]

Ghost you will play?

[coral raven]

who is manter

[static furnace]

Who is manter

[fleet dove]

Polish child

[wet hollow]

@orchid sedge

[timber badge]

manter is goated

he plays e5 against alapin like a chad

[willow owl]

Dont belive all the lichess studies you see on the internet kids🗣️

[fleet dove]

Except for mine

All of my studies are goated

[wet hollow]

e5 when?

[atomic yacht]

What specific lines do you don’t wanna play for the Sicilian though?

You wanna avoid pushing d4 or there are some specific stuff?

[timber badge]

@coral raven uhh what did u smoke in ur first game

[static furnace]

Is that an existent variation?

[willow owl]

Also i outplayed him once in an opening somehow... Prob played some super mega side line

If an opening exists I probably have made a study on it

You’re good

[willow owl]

Father does that

[static furnace]

Nimzowitsch defense kennedy lingspringer variation

[fleet dove]

Let’s not be too hasty now

[timber badge]

[atomic yacht]

I studied that when I was 900 don’t ask me why.

[fleet dove]

I do in fact have a nimzo defense study

[willow owl]

Flan could take you ngl

[remote kettle]

What he is not my father

[fleet dove]

Multiple I think

[willow owl]

Hes my father

[fleet dove]

Flan and I are 1-0 cuz we met in pool once

[timber badge]

do they contain ideas and plans

[remote kettle]

I don't understood

[raw fulcrum]

How mfs feel after playing the queens wayward attack for the millionth time in a chess match:

[fleet dove]

Unfortunately I believe one of them was before I knew how to make annotations

[atomic yacht]

Some mega ultra sideline of the najdorf:D

[remote kettle]

No one will play?

[fleet dove]

So it’s just raw moves

[zinc ravine]

Someone play me

[fleet dove]

Let me check the most recent one

[limpid viper]

Bro doesn’t know himself

[remote kettle]

Let's play 5min

[static furnace]

Am i the only one who checks all checks captures and attacking moves for both sides before making a move

[fleet dove]

Funnily enough I have nothing on the Najdorf as black

[zinc ravine]

Ugh fine but we gotta play a game of bullet afterwards 1 min

[fleet dove]

I will never play the najdorf in my entire life

[coral raven]

Same twin

[atomic yacht]

Absolutely valid statement

[timber badge]

@coral raven man id be so frustrated

[willow owl]

@fleet dove and another person had a lot of fun and they loved each other and then one day poof i popped out

[timber badge]

games were good but u were throwing

[coral raven]

Bro during the tournament i was depressed near the end

[fleet dove]

True

[remote kettle]

Shut up

[coral raven]

I had many strong players like complimenting me though but i was still pissed

[atomic yacht]

What Sicilian will you play if you have to choose?

[remote kettle]

Send me

[fleet dove]

I will play every other Sicilian before najdorf icl

[coral raven]

Even the sveshnikov

[fleet dove]

I’ve played the svesh for most of my career

[coral raven]

You psychopath

[fleet dove]

But I think I score best with classical

[timber badge]

its alright bro we farm next yr

[wet hollow]

Agreed

[coral raven]

Im gonna play an open tournament

[fleet dove]

I’ve been cooking up a 6…g6 classical and it’s so fire

[young swan]

hi

[coral raven]

So lets try to get to 2000 classical

[timber badge]

YO

[wet hollow]

I do NOT understand the svesh hype

[young swan]

any 2000+, i need some tips.

[atomic yacht]

I read and thought you said scheveningen for a second and I was like “what you ain’t afraid of g4?” But nvm.

Makes sense.

[timber badge]

BONES DO U UNDERSTAND THAT SHI

all ik is go f5 and boom bam

[fleet dove]

Dude I’m telling you the lines are ridiculous

[remote kettle]

Aaaa he is also not responding, Byeee

[willow owl]

What are even the chances of that happening🙏

[young swan]

got a tournament starting next Friday, and I need to prepare against the fianchetto systems and Colle system

[fleet dove]

Black just willingly sacs the d6 pawn plays f5 and qb6

[timber badge]

YES

[wet hollow]

in kalashnikov?

[fleet dove]

And somehow is ok

[timber badge]

ik

[kindred crypt]

Sumone play chess with meeee

[young swan]

pls

[timber badge]

its so unbelievably stupid yet so fire

[kindred crypt]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[fleet dove]

6.Bg5 rauzer classical

[timber badge]

i love it and i hate it at the same time

you and i drink the poison from the same wine @fleet dove

[fleet dove]

Yea it’s an insanely interesting opening but when I lose I can literally only blame myself

[fleet dove]

Twinning fr

[timber badge]

fr

[fleet dove]

It’s so initiative based

[timber badge]

i tried it i beat a fm with it

[atomic yacht]

You must have a Rapport-Jobava study right?

[fleet dove]

That’s fire

[coral raven]

so i really dont know what to play vs sicilian

[timber badge]

but i didnt prep anything all i did was watch a niemann game

[coral raven]

it is called the JOBAVA LONDON

[fleet dove]

Only as black because the jobava is the worst opening of all time

[timber badge]

💀

[atomic yacht]

Shut up I love Richard rapport.

[wet hollow]

Imma call it Rapport London ✌️

[fleet dove]

I’ve looked at dozens of dubov’s games

[raw fulcrum]

how mfs feel after playing the trompowsky benoni nimsoswitch attack french defense:

[coral raven]

dont diss the jobava i have beat many strong players with it

[fleet dove]

He played it a lot back in 2021

[coral raven]

i love the jobava bro

even played it vs prepared gms and had good position

[fleet dove]

Idk bro black is fine if they play the right moves

[timber badge]

@coral raven im sorry but i lvoe this kd7 guy

[coral raven]

oh yea defiently though

[raw fulcrum]

what next? The stafford counter queens german defense?

[timber badge]

hes such a chad

[coral raven]

lol i was like i swear im better here

like you cant be playing like this

turns out everything is possible

[timber badge]

how

[atomic yacht]

What you play against d4

[coral raven]

i believe in the school of initiative (and im delusional)

[fleet dove]

Either Benko, janowski, nf6 or normal qgd

But these days mainly nf6 b6

[wet hollow]

b*nko

[timber badge]

also why not nxd6 in that reversed sicilian game

[torn maple]

Anyone wanna play 2 blitz matches? 3|0?

[raw fulcrum]

why are chess opening names so long bro

[atomic yacht]

Ah then I don’t have to ask if you have a Trompowsky study.

Noticing how higher-rated players prefer Nf6 over d5.

[coral raven]

which move

[wet hollow]

You play d4 Nf6 c4 b6? 😭

[raw fulcrum]

with the most obscure backstory

[zinc ravine]

Hello

[fleet dove]

It sounds stupid but it’s actually very interesting

[wet hollow]

Also I thought you played benoni

[zinc ravine]

Game 1 min rn pls

[wet hollow]

I How do you deal with f3 and e4 vro

[zinc ravine]

IDC who or ur rating I'm just tryna play

[raw fulcrum]

Average opening backstory:In 2015 magnus sacrificed the rook in the opening so it was called the ware sodium blazing heat attack german defense

[fleet dove]

It is my most played response against d4 but I don’t play the Benoni nearly as often as I used to

[mint citrus]

shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars

[timber badge]

hwere u took with the pawn instead

[fleet dove]

f3 is the main move and black to respond with Nc6!!

And if white plays e4 then black plays e5 and it’s equal already

[timber badge]

or you'll wander away in the universe aimlessly

[kindred crypt]

How good is a 1700 rated bot

[wet hollow]

Now please explain what Na3 alapin is 😭

[coral raven]

Nd6 e4 is problem though

[fleet dove]

Sorry I can’t

[mint citrus]

thats up to you to risk it

[atomic yacht]

Your move against e4?

[coral raven]

cant pin my knight

[fleet dove]

NDA

[wet hollow]

Why

[torn maple]

You will miss both and will hit an asteroid

[coral raven]

cxd6 is best

[fleet dove]

Petrov but I’ve recently switched to caro

[kindred crypt]

how good is a 1700 rated bot

[wet hollow]

I will dedass be gone tomorrow, I will come back on discord after like 2 weeks or sm shii

[coral raven]

why would you play petrov

[timber badge]

why

[ancient zealot]

bosscr if he played chess

[coral raven]

are you making a draw at the candidates

[timber badge]

just why bones

[junior anchor]

900

[atomic yacht]

Petrov is uh, interesting.

[fleet dove]

Because I don’t like e4 and I want e4 players to feel pain

[wet hollow]

Do you play c5 caro or the noob Bf5 caro

[timber badge]

bro i saw some kid playing petrov 😭

[torn maple]

Isnt petrov an defense you play to draw?

[kindred crypt]

Really?

[fleet dove]

But my Petrov lines are interesting

[coral raven]

i know a kid that plays petrov too lmao

[fleet dove]

Not boring shit

[mint citrus]

still closes to the moon than you previously were

[kindred crypt]

Is it good

[coral raven]

i think in all of my life i saw like one interesting petrov game

[junior anchor]

You basically have to play solid until he blunders and then keep advantage

[fleet dove]

For instance I play Nf6 and g6!? Against Nc3 mainline

[atomic yacht]

To make it up for you here’s a Nh3 Dutch.

[torn maple]

Fier won his match in the world cup playing petrov

[kindred crypt]

1700s won't blunder tho

[atomic yacht]

Against the petrov I play the Nimzowitsch attack to try forcing imbalance.

[fleet dove]

No there are many interesting lines

[coral raven]

im trying to remember the game

[wet hollow]

I only know one instance where you go Na3 but Im not sure if thats it 🥀

[junior anchor]

1700 rated bots do.

[coral raven]

i think it was a nepo game where he had some b6 g6 in the petrov

[junior anchor]

And ordinary 1700s blunder too idk wdym

[kindred crypt]

But 900?

[torn maple]

This line of petrov

[kindred crypt]

Never seen them blunder

[fleet dove]

This line is very fun

[small jungle]

I play karlinsk martinovsky

[atomic yacht]

The petrov isn’t as bland as it seems, GMs have found ways to create something.

[junior anchor]

I often see them blunder but when i play i just do it earlier

[wet hollow]

I dont have pic perms smh

[fleet dove]

People hate on the Petrov but I stg those same people play qe2 against it

[atomic yacht]

Like this and it’s totally game on.

[small jungle]

1700s blunder all the time vro

[fleet dove]

If white wants an interesting game it will happen

[timber badge]

since bones plays petrov i will play 4 knights and make him suffer

[fleet dove]

Well this is an inaccurate order against the nimzo attack

[fleet dove]

I play Bb4!? Against 4 knights

[timber badge]

yeah i play h3

[raw fulcrum]

castling in chess 960 is odd

[atomic yacht]

It’s just a sample position vro-

[fleet dove]

h3 is ass

[kindred crypt]

Okay so a 1700 rated bot is the same level?

[timber badge]

its goated

[small jungle]

No

[kindred crypt]

As a real 1700

[fleet dove]

💀

[kindred crypt]

What would you say their rating is

[small jungle]

1700 bot is much weaker than a 1700 player

[burnt mesa]

Sodium attack goated

[fleet dove]

Black more often than not doesn’t even want their bishop on g4

[atomic yacht]

You a 1. d4 player right?

[timber badge]

thats not all btw

[junior anchor]

Only thing is he adopted me, i lost 5 games after this and he is 2000 rapid but it's ok

[wet hollow]

much is an understatement

[fleet dove]

Nf3/c4/d4

[timber badge]

i go h3 bd3 😊

[fleet dove]

Oh my god how could you

[kindred crypt]

Never heard of it.

[timber badge]

i am jose mourinho

[junior anchor]

Connect 5 damn

[kindred crypt]

@small jungle

[atomic yacht]

Fair.

Wanna ask for your point of view.

In OTB perspective, would you prefer Nf3 more?
Since it gives you more information on black than 1. d4/c4.

[kindred crypt]

Nh3

[fleet dove]

For otb I think it depends

[kindred crypt]

The best

[timber badge]

i troll otb so hard

like gl prepping against me

[fleet dove]

Personally I play Nf3/c4 if I know my opponent plays dynamic openings like the nimzo, Benko, Benoni grunfeld

[torn maple]

I liked Magnus vs Nepomniachtchi line in 2021 WCC

This thing

[kindred crypt]

What's your rating.

[fleet dove]

Because you can’t get those types of positions against nf3/c4

[atomic yacht]

Woah

[fleet dove]

If I knoe my opponent plays Slav/qgd I’d probably start with d4

[wet hollow]

@fleet dove whats your opinion on exd4 in mainline KID?

After like Be2 O-O by white

[timber badge]

@fleet dove are u single

[atomic yacht]

What variation you play against KID?

[fleet dove]

Bro wants to marry me

[kindred crypt]

@fleet dove what's the best

[timber badge]

i'd never marry a petrov player

[leaden star]

https://tenor.com/view/super-mario-goomba-walking-walk-mad-gif-17716403

[fleet dove]

Holy shit 4 pings back to back

[fleet dove]

🙁

[timber badge]

@coral raven would be a top contender if they were a girl

[kindred crypt]

@fleet dove what would you say the rating of a 1700 bot would be

[timber badge]

or @mortal lynx

[fleet dove]

Fianchetto or makagonov or a4!!!!!

[timber badge]

i'd deffo date pratham if they were a girl

[mortal lynx]

Im top contender as a guy

[atomic yacht]

Makogonov valid.

Alr last one and I’m out.
What you play againdr c4?

[burnt mesa]

Thats literally just it

Na5

[fleet dove]

This is trendy these days right I’m not too fond of it

[fleet dove]
