[latent crystal]

Pirates at sea version of it

[obtuse lynx]

[latent crystal]

I basically don't make blunders unless I'm playing like a 2000 or higher

[nimble arch]

[tacit sleet]

Minireed8

[latent crystal]

Ik it's not I'm just saying if anyone wants it

[obtuse lynx]

Dm me
I'll show you something

[latent crystal]

Actually im going into city rn I should low-key buy it

I might buy some chess books hmmm

[nimble arch]

I dont reccomend levys books for intermideate players

its a beginner book

[latent crystal]

Oh ye it's useless to me

[sudden roost]

never buy a levy book

[latent crystal]

But I'd feel bad not buying it now

[sudden roost]

no matter the elo

[latent crystal]

After I did use it to help me get better

[nimble arch]

Im not going to judge the book by its author, im going to judge it by its contents

and its contents are not fit for a higher level

[latent crystal]

I'll buy his next one which is supposedly for 1500s to 1800s if I'm not there by the time it comes out

[nimble arch]

but may work for a lower one

[latent crystal]

Actually you know what I'ma just pay for chessly

[sudden roost]

67% judging contents 33% judging author

[nimble arch]

mate its more worth paying for silk than chessly

[latent crystal]

Since it's been the most helpful for me to learn oppenings since I have a great visual memory

[nimble arch]

Nah Im not taking it into consideration at all

[latent crystal]

Probably not quite photographic tho lol

[sudden roost]

[latent crystal]

Who's your 1st?

Bobby Fischer made some books actually

I have one of his, where it's like all chess puzzles

Pretty cool, and half the pages are upside down

(every second page)

[tacit sleet]

im 500

[latent crystal]

So you like go back through after with the book upside down lol

[balmy python]

[latent crystal]

Hey that's okkll, everyone starts somewhere

I was 700 at first

[sudden roost]

if you asked me 2 years ago i would say bobby fischer

[latent crystal]

Just learn like kings pawn stuff

[sudden roost]

but im going to say nimzowitsch

[latent crystal]

Why has that changed?

[sudden roost]

cuz he pmo

[latent crystal]

Ooh, do you play the nimzo indian by chance?

[wind blaze]

[sudden roost]

Not saying fiction can't be more interesting

[latent crystal]

I'm 1300 rapid lmao and 1830 fide so um

Ur on Ur own there xddd

[wind blaze]

[latent crystal]

Just saying, playing bullet Ur blitz before you fast enough to actually perform checkmates in them can form bad habits

You'll just get used to making stalling moves rather than good ones

[sudden roost]

[balmy python]

nimzo indian

[teal parrot]

at the beginner level its easy

[copper gulch]

dor chess got updated?

[fallen pelican]

I guess

[teal parrot]

the basic idea is develop, push the center with e4 and then start kingside pawn storm

[fallen pelican]

Yeah the openets doesn't know the line

[magic shard]

3+0 especially it's quite difficult to maintain your momentum without blundering stuff

[obtuse lynx]

Nothing is Easy in this World 💀

[teal parrot]

whats your rating

[harsh kite]

i mean most of the time you just end up flagging in 3+0

[obtuse lynx]

I don't have one

[harsh kite]

move quality isnt so important up til like 2100

[magic shard]

I was mostly talking about the 2400 level but yeah you're right

[regal hill]

GUYS I DID IT

[fallen pelican]

Yeah but like its only teach you to play waiting move instead of improving the position rapid is better

[sweet trench]

you can't expect to win every game if you're just starting to learn something

I started chess like 1 week ago

im not tapped in with the news

[visual lichen]

2. cxd4 is not my favourite choice as Black

[hollow geyser]

We all play chess, thats why were single.

[visual lichen]

I often resort to the Franco-Sicilian

[teal parrot]

im 1k elo any tips to improve my opening

[visual lichen]

You're higher than I am lmao

[teal parrot]

I just play kings indian for black and italian for white

[teal parrot]

I was trying to play london but my 2400 friend said london is bad

[merry bough]

it's mid

[visual lichen]

Everybody plays the Italian. And I mean everyone

[teal parrot]

but like I always face sicilian

and carrokann

I have no theory for those openings

[teal parrot]

he says its a wimp move because it plays for a draw

[harsh kite]

i just plugged this into cc engine and it didnt even realize white was winning

[merry bough]

intuition, the queen is stuck on c8

[teal parrot]

whats a cc engine

[harsh kite]

well not that

[visual lichen]

Then learn the Caro Kann and the French. Don't bother learning any Sicilian until you get to 1600 or so it's a bad way to learn chess because it's super specific

[harsh kite]

i mean thte one you gave me

[teal parrot]

learn it as white?

[harsh kite]

as the puzzle

[visual lichen]

I've lost more Najdorf Sicilian games in Rapid as both White and Black than I care to believe

[merry bough]

yeah, the engine sees the perpetual but there isn't actually a perpetual

[robust rock]

Do yall think Faustino oro will be a future wcc?

[hollow geyser]

Guys can i sue my landlord for sneaking inside my house

[merry bough]

stop playing najdorf at your level

[stone knot]

hi

[harsh kite]

truly astounding

[visual lichen]

Precisely. Yet they insist on making the moves that lead to it

[latent crystal]

Hiiiiikaru

[merry bough]

stop playing the sicilian as black

[latent crystal]

Indeed

[stone knot]

hello

[teal parrot]

These are the stats chat

[latent crystal]

Unless it's the best version fr

[robust rock]

Uve played very little

[latent crystal]

I mean ok I play the four knights but lol

[merry bough]

i don't care if it's objectively good, lots of openings are objectively good

[teal parrot]

isnt sicilian good

its aggresive and has a lot of traps

[latent crystal]

Yes but not even Magnus would know all Sicilian theory fr

[merry bough]

the sicilian is not practically good under 2000, i learned that

[latent crystal]

Ehhhh iggg

[teal parrot]

but if you learn deep theory for the sicilian most of the times you will end up winning clueless opponents

[latent crystal]

Idk I'm finding it fine so far, because lots of ppl don't know how to play against it

[patent patrol]

Hi

[latent crystal]

And we often get games with no theory

[hollow geyser]

Is it good for me to practice the london system

[latent crystal]

Which is better

[patent patrol]

You learn lines for the open and then none of ur opponents play open sicilian theory

[teal parrot]

im 1k but my opinion is london system is good until like 1800

[merry bough]

i admit i still use the sicilian in one instance, when im going up against an opponent more than 400 points higher rated, because im screwed regardless

[visual lichen]

The Sicilian is basically like, your going to buy a brand new luxury car. This is where you get your Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, Rolls Royces and truly up-market shit

[teal parrot]

when the hell do you play someone 400 elo more

[hollow geyser]

Any other opinions guys

[merry bough]

not very often

[patent patrol]

Meh

Ur describing the alekhine

[teal parrot]

honestly idk what opening to play for white

[visual lichen]

The Italian, Caro-Kann, French, Vienna... This is your Ford Fiesta or your Volkswagen Golf

[teal parrot]

so I just play principled italian

[merry bough]

yes

[teal parrot]

but a lot of the time I run into unknown territory

[merry bough]

that is good principled chess that will help you improve

[patent patrol]

How

[teal parrot]

guys how do I change my name color

[merry bough]

the unknown territory in the Italian is not like the unknown territory in the Sicilian where one wrong move will cost you the game

[teal parrot]

this red is so ugly

[patent patrol]

Italian is easy just drool on board and fall asleep and walk away and stuff

[hollow geyser]

True

[teal parrot]

only problem if you get e4 and then not e5

[visual lichen]

Focus on learning one opening. Right now I'm studying the Italian

[teal parrot]

ive mastered (kind of) kings indian and london

[merry bough]

oh, and one line to be aware of

[visual lichen]

Get good at that opening reliably

[merry bough]

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4, don't play 4.Nxe5, play 4.Nxd4

[visual lichen]

Trust me you haven't

[teal parrot]

I just play the knight attack

if they go knight out

[merry bough]

then 4.Nxd4 exd4 5.0-0 d6 6.c3 dxc3 7.Qb3! and black is cooked

it's like a danish except you're not down a pawn

[visual lichen]

It takes a really bloody long time. You just play against People who play 1. d4 a lot

[teal parrot]

like the basic setup is basically mastered

[teal parrot]

kings indian can be played against anything

you just play b3

unless they play e4

then you play d3

[harsh kite]

@merry bough cc engine actually refusing to believe white is winning here is hilarious

Bc8 g4 and then it turns into +5

[teal parrot]

do you have premium

what is that background

[visual lichen]

False. It's reliable, but it isn't playable against anything. If you're opponent decides to drag you into a hybrid Catalan/London, are you going to attack the bishop first, or the knight?

[harsh kite]

yeah

[teal parrot]

idk what that is ;-;

[sudden roost]

i sacrificed my life to save another ❤️‍🩹

im so noble

[magic shard]

my engine's tweaking too

[harsh kite]

this position is actually too deep

insane

[teal parrot]

its probably playable you just have to improvise

Huh

[teal parrot]

I cant play blitz for shit

[visual lichen]

Which way do you intend to castle? What happens if your opponent caatles the opposite side? What happens when you end up with stacked pawns on both sides of the board and your opponent is marching through the center with both pawns and the knights clearing your side pawns like it's 1939?
