[radiant swan]

hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

[eternal jackal]

bro only tries in blitz

[harsh kite]

hydrogen bomb vs hydrogen bomb

[small jungle]

CountingBrilliants is the hydrogen bomb🙏

[eternal jackal]

fr fr

[radiant swan]

that would be stalemate vro

[harsh kite]

i should probably connect to my main just for funsies

[eternal jackal]

what’s your actual rating

[harsh kite]

[eternal jackal]

[harsh kite]

[radiant swan]

im the coughing baby vro

[harsh kite]

i could lose and i wanna peaksit

[small jungle]

Vros too humble🙏

[harsh kite]

thats true.

[eternal jackal]

what if you received a challenge from a random 2000 in 1 minute

would you accept and beat him

[harsh kite]

prob

[eternal jackal]

what’s ur account

[radiant swan]

thats what happened to me vro

[harsh kite]

i beat fm everyday on lc cro

[radiant swan]

some 2000 sent me a challenge 🙏

[harsh kite]

ill add you dw

[eternal jackal]

and you beat him🥶

[lilac tartan]

if mt brother makes an new account in india and sends me the details and I play on that account from the very beginning will the account hold any risks of being banned?

[radiant swan]

he let me win 🙏

[small jungle]

CountingBrilliants adopted him🙏

[harsh kite]

that was purely informative

[radiant swan]

not at 2300

[eternal jackal]

lichess is harder then cc bro

[radiant swan]

i do agree ui is bad

[harsh kite]

rename yourself 0/10 ragebaiter pyramid

[eternal jackal]

fr

only 1 premove is kinda shobby as well

[radiant swan]

doby makes sure to humble me everyday vro

[harsh kite]

that is honestly a you problem cro

[eternal jackal]

it rewards smart premoving in time scrambles

[harsh kite]

thats crazy

[eternal jackal]

multiple premoves is a great feature imo

[small jungle]

I get humbled by CountingBrilliants alt in rapid everyday vro🙏

[summer oar]

guess the opening and evaluation guys

[radiant swan]

we never played before 😔

[eternal jackal]

wdym

[radiant swan]

skill issue

[small jungle]

Maybe we will one time vro🙏

[eternal jackal]

yeah thats an issue

[radiant swan]

no one premoves in rapid

i only premove in blitz and bullet

[small jungle]

[radiant swan]

i premove in rapid only if its a recapture

[harsh kite]

thats literally what premoves are made for lol

[eternal jackal]

true art of premoving is premoving 15 moves in the opening in a 10s bullet game

[radiant swan]

come rated rapid Dobyvatel2 would humble me ez 🥺

[eternal jackal]

@radiant swan activities

[harsh kite]

i aint no sicilian geeks

[small jungle]

Vro wants to farm me till I'm 100

[harsh kite]

💀

i play the better opening with the c pawn

[radiant swan]

Long castle blunder 🥀

[round otter]

what if there’s a universe where chess.com elo determines your social status

[thick nebula]

I forgot how to do long castle

[summer oar]

good ol’ italien

[round otter]

rook b1 is the way

[fervent cradle]

Will you do the 1 square jump for the pawn or the 2 square jump for the rook

Guys do I get gm rating once I hit 200 elo?

[last badger]

ye

[fiery smelt]

Yeah

Trust me, I lose one once I entered 300

[potent gulch]

Lel :3

[potent gulch]

Yessirrr

Pyramid?????

[harsh kite]

its a good opening

[potent gulch]

You're back!!! 🔥

Hey thereeeeee

I was thinking about you today and remembered the times u were struggling with 1300s XD

[twilit snow]

how do i voice communicate?

[potent gulch]

Nice to see how far you're getting!! 🔥

[harsh kite]

yeah exactly

advance is the way to squeeze out advantage

2n allows the Qd5 lines where you trade queens

technically yeah and go down a pawn

else mainline is just queen traded position

e4 c6 Nc3 d5 Nf3 de Nxe4 Nf6 Qe2 Nxe4 Qxe4 Qd5

[potent gulch]

Yuhhhh I was struggling around there too 😆

[harsh kite]

Qh4 is mainline and it runs into Qe6 Be2 Qg4! now white is forced to swap queens off the board

[worn geode]

what openings do you guys recommend for white

[potent gulch]

Honestly, depends on your taste

[harsh kite]

lol

i play Qf4 in that line instead of Qh4

[worn geode]

maybe i should try the chess.com opening quiz and see what comes up lol

[potent gulch]

Like, what kinda of positions do u like

[harsh kite]

wild

[potent gulch]

Oh yeeee it's actually cool the results, they aren't so bad like I thought XD

[fervent cradle]

E4 is for alpha sigma males and D4 is for beta male cucks

[magic shard]

Qg4 Qg3 1-0

[harsh kite]

dor that position is still ehh i dont like the O-O-O plan

[fervent cradle]

A4 👍

[harsh kite]

Qf4 line better

[magic shard]

let me go analyz that

[harsh kite]

Qf4 Qf5 Qe3!

you can take a look at that if Qxc2 Bd3 and b3 Bb2

as white whats wrong

[fervent cradle]

Yes I love playing the caro Kann as white

[magic shard]

what about Qf4 Qf5 Qe3 Qe6

[harsh kite]

minor skill issue

[harsh kite]

i like the structure after fxe3

[fervent cradle]

Evans gambit 🥹 🙏

[magic shard]

ok yeah winrates don't lie

[fervent cradle]

Not when your at my elo

Also it's just fun

[harsh kite]

but considering how caro players brain function and how its propagandized as a newbie opening this can trick ppl alot ig

[tired hamlet]

my mom just slapped the hell out of me should i press charges

[uncut prism]

Guys rate my brilliant plz. I won with alien gambit

[harsh kite]

yeah

[uncut prism]

This guy was 1700 blitz

Hi.

[harsh kite]

a while ago i also just found out jackson plays alekhine

[radiant swan]

Jackson 😔

vro is never coming back

[uncut prism]

Micheal Jackson is very dead so correct

[radiant swan]

not talking about that guy

[slow folio]

he’s already jumped from the bridge that day and he wont even come back

atleast I can try to convince him in a week

who knows

[harsh kite]

baited too hard

[slow folio]

oh btw im here at chat to annouce that we might have 2-3 2600s at Candidates and is that even okay tho 💀

the worst Candidates of history is coming?

[harsh kite]

blame fide for making the qualifications this ass

[potent gulch]

I'm doing similar mistakes in blitz so I don't blame the guy 😞

[nocturne plover]

How many times did you play the czech you only showed me 1 game
Also 2 knights or panov which is more annoying to face

[slow folio]

no it’s real this time he looks frustrated and might not ever gonna comeback

he didnt even reply my message gng

[radiant swan]

only ever played it once cuz i slipped c6 and d6 instead of d5

[slow folio]

i might meet him irl soon

[nocturne plover]

Na the ones in candidates will be inform and underrated so in my opinion the best candidates coming

[radiant swan]

nevr slipped ever again cuz i aint touching theory shit

[harsh kite]

that is so real

[nocturne plover]

What about my second question

[harsh kite]

czech is fine if austian isnt a thing

[radiant swan]

at least someone can relate 🥹

[harsh kite]

sigh sigh

[radiant swan]

panov is more annoying

i find it more difficult cuz its aggressive as heck

[potent gulch]

Chat am I cooking? 😎

[harsh kite]

2n is just equalizing

[radiant swan]

mhm

[harsh kite]

modern setup with Be6 g6 is good

[radiant swan]

2N i go tartakower

[radiant swan]

i dont study any theory 🙏

[harsh kite]

yeah ik some Qe2 Bf5 bs

[radiant swan]

i just stick to the same caro plan

[harsh kite]

piano

[nocturne plover]

What about Qe2 lines

[radiant swan]

autocorrect 😔

[harsh kite]

he goes Bf5 and O-O-O somewhere

[radiant swan]

Qe2 Bf5

[thorn cliff]

This is wild, time flies

[harsh kite]

annoying

[radiant swan]

bro knows me better than i know myself

[harsh kite]

xd

you have not changed your repetoir since we last played

oh yeah you quit 4p but thats it

[radiant swan]

i told you bro i stick to the same ass setups im too lazy to study openings

[nocturne plover]

But against the panov can't you play Nf6 e6 and is extremely solid not getting into any aggressive lines

[harsh kite]

thats fair

[patent patrol]

Anyone wanna buy some my Roblox items for $1k

[radiant swan]

i play Nf6 e6 lol

thats what i do cuz i got ptsd against panov

[unique cosmos]

Hi little kittens

[tame bluff]

hey guys, i made a vdieo, Chess, but it’s a National Geographic Documentary... can I put the link anywhere?

[radiant swan]

im running back to 4 pawns vro dw

[harsh kite]

Bg4 mainline is in fact hella difficult to play

[unique cosmos]

1k in roblox items is actually wild

[harsh kite]

i play Be6 here ❤️

[radiant swan]

Bg4 feels too weakening against panov

[harsh kite]

its the mainline there

[radiant swan]

theres always that Qa4 Bb5

then you get demolished by the pin

[harsh kite]

not a problem if you develop fast enough and break with e5

[unique cosmos]

move the horsey and move the f pawn, the f pawn hungers for use

[eternal jackal]

why not just a6

[radiant swan]

a6 doesnt attack the bishop

thats the problem they can go Bb5 anyways

[harsh kite]

Bb5 isnt scary whatsoever most of the time

[eternal jackal]

isn’t there just axb5 then

[harsh kite]

most of the time black is better with lead in development

[last badger]

Why bro look like he being held at gunpoint 💀

[radiant swan]

idk lol all ik i got ptsd from this crazy shit so i play Nf6 e6 Be7 O-O

[harsh kite]

execution when reentering chinese territory

[harsh kite]

thats fair

[radiant swan]

idk i js know i have ptsd against panov 🙏

[harsh kite]

you can also try the Be6 setup sometimes maybe youll like it

[radiant swan]

wtf is Be6

im not studying allat bro

[harsh kite]

you fianchetto your dsb on g7 its not that deep dude

also you threaten dxc4 immediately

[thorn cliff]

What rating is this for

[radiant swan]

i play whats easiest for me fr
everything ik comes from 14k games ive played

[patent patrol]

Why u laughing

[harsh kite]

that is VERY easy cb

give it a try at least

[radiant swan]

im overrated for a reason vro

[harsh kite]

skul

[radiant swan]

i refuse to study theory 😭

[unique cosmos]

1k...in roblox

[patent patrol]

I said that after listing some shit but it prob like $1.2k now that I look

[harsh kite]

its not even some very specific branching response its just a setup 💔

[patent patrol]

I got a couple thousand and it’s not even that crazy!!

[radiant swan]

a setup i dont play 🙏

need to understand it vro

[harsh kite]

theres always a first time

[radiant swan]

if i play a setup that idk I'll lose in 10 moves

[patent patrol]

U wouldn’t believe it but it’s true

[harsh kite]

its also pretty normal to go Be6 in the dragon so you kinda get the gist

[unique cosmos]

even if you made 100k yearly, spending 1% of your entire earnings on roblox would still be crazy to me

[radiant swan]

ion play Sicilian either 🙏

[patent patrol]

I make like 80k yearly so investing isn’t that strange

[unique cosmos]

theres MUCH better investments to be made man

[thorn cliff]

Be6 feels weird to me tbh, it’s not intuitive and if black doesn’t know what’s happening, cooked

[radiant swan]

wrong server buddy

[patent patrol]

Am I not allowed to have a conversation

[harsh kite]

its pretty intuitive g6 Bg7 is a thing to me

[patent patrol]

Eh this one is rly easy

[digital sorrel]

Sicilian for life 2. C5

[rugged anvil]

was mightymarkus on the island

[unique cosmos]

yea scamming kids is easy

[radiant swan]

sure but self promo o_O

[patent patrol]

It’s not self promo

[harsh kite]

also all white is doing is to put pressure on d5 and inducing dxc4 so Be6 also makes sense

[patent patrol]

And idk what kids have over $1k and im not scamming kids either

[rugged anvil]

ok so definitely plausible

[thorn cliff]

Go to Roblox server

Bye

[patent patrol]

@thorn cliff

[unique cosmos]

perchance he also knew Bubba

[radiant swan]

i hardly even fianchetto that bishop vro

[patent patrol]

Wanna play chess bro

[radiant swan]

and especially not in panov

[patent patrol]

@thorn cliff Let’s run some blitz bro

[patent patrol]

I’m dying to play chess

[harsh kite]

its actually the main response 🙏

[thorn cliff]

Now I’m getting pinged lol

[radiant swan]

im not zigzag ion play a6 g6 🙏

[patent patrol]

I just wanna play chess

[thorn cliff]

Sure

[patent patrol]

Ok send challenge to batter 3/0

[harsh kite]

this is so easy to play 💔

[thorn cliff]

Totally why you joined

[patent patrol]

???

Send challenge to batter 3/0 plz

[radiant swan]

I'd lose in 10 moves 😔

[harsh kite]

i believe theres also line where you go g6 and sac the pawn on d5 whatever

[patent patrol]

Is black even winning here

[thorn cliff]

It doesn’t feel easy. Isn’t that losing a pawn too since a7 isn’t defended after trades

[harsh kite]

its literally called fianchetto gambit

[harsh kite]

black is better for e5

[harsh kite]

no its dead even

[radiant swan]

i would lose in 19 moves vro

[harsh kite]

you already equalized

[patent patrol]

Looks terrible but the computer could figure it out

[thorn cliff]

Wdym

[patent patrol]

Bro is this dude gonna play chess or just bark at me

[thorn cliff]

This isn’t intuitive at all

[patent patrol]

@thorn cliff Send a challenge plz

[harsh kite]

Qxa7 is not good lol

[radiant swan]

feels slow I'd rather do smth like Bg4 e6 idk tho im not familiar with caro theory

[glass tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/barking-dogs-barking-angry-guard-dog-the-dobermann-gif-19955262

[patent patrol]

A7 isn’t defended LOL

[harsh kite]

ok Bxc6 Bxc6 Qxa7 Nd7!

[patent patrol]

bro ur 2200 a7 is always defended

[thorn cliff]

Why not? I might be dumb but I am 2300 rapid and it feels hanging lol

[patent patrol]

the issue is d5 and pressure

white should never go into that

[harsh kite]

it is hanging but taking is kinda slow

[thorn cliff]

What is @radiant swan rating

[patent patrol]

this like some much scarier French stuff

[harsh kite]

hes like 2300 blitz

[radiant swan]

taking just allows black to continue their plan

white wastes time

[patent patrol]

Ye

I don’t think anyone would take a7 there

[radiant swan]

and black gets the initiative

[patent patrol]

More intuitive is prob nxd7 or aiming for d5

[thorn cliff]

A pawn is a pawn though, I value material quite a lot (like a computer ig)

[patent patrol]

Errr

[radiant swan]

in a bullet game you could probably get away with Qxa7

[thorn cliff]

My strongest TC by a lot is bullet

[patent patrol]

U get a pawn yea but nothing else

[harsh kite]

i honestly think its harder to defend in bullet if black knows what they are doing

[radiant swan]

but any tc that isnt move fast and flag you're cooked

[patent patrol]

Pretty shitty position for white after takes

Shitty position for black if white doesn’t take anything

[harsh kite]

e5 Ra8 Qc7 Rfb8 and black is having all the initiative

[radiant swan]

only thing white has to do is not get their queen trapped lol

[thorn cliff]

Be3 e5 de then castle, I still don’t see the problem tbh

[radiant swan]

even if black is marginally better nobody is converting that advantage

[patent patrol]

Be3 e5 nice

[harsh kite]

Be3 e5 O-O exd4 is a fork dude

[patent patrol]

Be3 bd2 be3 e5 and we are cooking

[radiant swan]

nah bullet is my goat we gotta keep it

[thorn cliff]

de = dxe5

[radiant swan]

im lowest rated in bullet but i still love it

[harsh kite]

oh i didnt saw de my bad

i mean Nxe5 Ra8 is coming

[patent patrol]

How convenient is bg5 idk blacks side tho

[thorn cliff]

It is still a fork though so I get it

[earnest jetty]

ultrabullet is also great 😁

[radiant swan]

i tilt from 2300 to 1900 vro

[harsh kite]

Bg5 Be6 is mainline i think

Nf3 Bg4 is mainline

but i just play Be6 whenever

[radiant swan]

bullet is either goated or the worst tc ever

[radiant swan]

I'd play Nf6 e6 🙏

[patent patrol]

Feels like it would prompt e6 out of fear for a decent bit of players

[harsh kite]

yeah thats the point kinda

[radiant swan]

dont need to understand anything just preparing to castle

[patent patrol]

Ye I’m just wondering if it’s right

[harsh kite]

i think its okay

computer will say alot of stuff is ok for black in panov

[patent patrol]

I do very well in choked positions but black is borderline losing looking

I play alekhines

[harsh kite]

🙏 why is alekhine so mainstream now

[patent patrol]

It’s been my main opening as black probably for a year now

[radiant swan]

it isnt lmao very few people actually play it its the surprise element that makes it good

[harsh kite]

its hard to capitalize the advantage annoyingly

[radiant swan]

if everyone plays it it'd be refuted ages ago

[harsh kite]

yeah exactly

no crap

[patent patrol]

The only stressful line for black imo is going into bc4 stuff

[harsh kite]

lol

[patent patrol]

Diverting from alekhines play

[stark copper]

#freaky

[patent patrol]

As white I play a4 tho

[harsh kite]

[patent patrol]

It just serves as a slight problem especially cuz u can get gifted that way

Nb6 bb3 and then if u play bg4 to nf3 they can sac

[radiant swan]

greek gift?

[harsh kite]

ur literally more nerdy when taking into openings

[patent patrol]

They take a bit of time out of ur development

[radiant swan]

crazy Alekhine's theory

[harsh kite]

yes

[patent patrol]

Alekhines has some of the most fun theory ever

[radiant swan]

white squeezes you if white knows what theyre doing

[patent patrol]

I’ll take that

[radiant swan]

if someone comes prepared for Alekhine's you're basically cooked on move 1

[harsh kite]

its still hard to say that

[patent patrol]

White pretends to know what they are doing by preparing by playing the refutation (4 pawns) and getting molested (nb5)

[harsh kite]

@patent patrol thoughts on this setup for white

[patent patrol]

That’s why I like the alekhines

[radiant swan]

those that gets surprised just plays some stupid so called refutation line and then have their center absolutely demolished

[patent patrol]

I think they are both practical

Nf3 enters what I call the classical setup

[radiant swan]

basically the only good part of Alekhine's is the surprise fr

[patent patrol]

There is a ton of play

[harsh kite]

the surprise factor is strong cro

[radiant swan]

everyone should start playing Alekhine's so people can refute it 🙏

[patent patrol]

I think it’s decent

[harsh kite]

this is prob the most used theme setup in cc ngl

[patent patrol]

Early 2000s that’s what they were doing

[radiant swan]

if d4 wasnt played a lot it'd be a good surprise

[harsh kite]

im liking Qe2 Rd1 setups in lots of opening now

[patent patrol]

Qe2 isn’t really a problem because u take with c pawn but it’s fine

[harsh kite]

eh no i dont really go ed lol

the purpose is Rd1 later if de

[radiant swan]

i heard theres a4 lines against alekhines that squeezes black

[patent patrol]

I play a4

[harsh kite]

yeah a4 a5

[patent patrol]

As white because I like to have fun

But the a4 line (Tate variation) is popularized followed by ra3 and I think ra3 isn’t my style

[radiant swan]

does look scary lol idk how these alekhine people play it and win
gotta respect them 🙏

[harsh kite]

truee

[patent patrol]

by "classical" setup i mean this

i think this is a very normal healthy position on both sides with lots of play

[harsh kite]

mm

[radiant swan]

whered the e pawn go

[patent patrol]

u can go d5 e5 theres a couple things

[harsh kite]

ed cd

[patent patrol]

exchanged

otherwise u risk queen trade and ur immediately -2

e and c are now problems for u

[harsh kite]

another reason why Qe2 is so goated

[radiant swan]

if only i knew what yr talking abt 😔

[patent patrol]

i meann

either you take or i take

[radiant swan]

knowing no theory at 2300 is worse than knowing theory at 500 cuz at least you know what people are talking abt 🙏

[harsh kite]

nuh uh

[patent patrol]

and u reallly dont want ME to take

[harsh kite]

who even plays 3. d4 smh

3. Nf3 🔥

[slow folio]

white to move chat

[patent patrol]

this is 3.c4 lowkey

[slow folio]

is this Alekhine’s hunt opening 🥀

[harsh kite]

same thing if d4 d6 c4

[radiant swan]

feels good for white no?

[harsh kite]

its ok

[radiant swan]

3 pawns vs one sloppy knight

[harsh kite]

i dont like how c4 just kinda forces you to make a decision after d6

ed kinda gives black what they want

[patent patrol]

no

i play this as white

[harsh kite]

e6?

[patent patrol]

eh i just take and play d4 but e6 is entirely possible iirc

[harsh kite]

fair

[radiant swan]

big white center though idk how black breaks it open (if white knows what they're doing)

[patent patrol]

https://www.chess.com/openings/Alekhines-Defense-Scandinavian-Spielmann-Gambit

[harsh kite]

Bg4 somewhere and you put pressure on d4/c4

[patent patrol]

the issue is its a free pawn and g6 o-o is an open file for a rook

[harsh kite]

its just annoying asf that black has stuff

[patent patrol]

but its practical enough if ur not a master

[ocean kestrel]

bro i started playing games on my review account and my rating jumped from like 1k bullet to 1400 and 770 blitz to 1667 💀

should i start using my review account as my main instead?

[radiant swan]

thoughts on Ne2

[harsh kite]

Ne2 where

[radiant swan]

nvm f4 already

[patent patrol]

i mean this is called the modern

[radiant swan]

i intended f3 but pawn already went up 2

[harsh kite]

Nf3 🔥

[patent patrol]

people say this line is a critical one for black too but i disagree i think its normal chess

[harsh kite]

its kinda critical

[patent patrol]

nf3 bg4 and we go into what ive played against a lot of higher rated ppl

[patent patrol]

nearly a transposition

[harsh kite]

you arent wrong

[patent patrol]

the modern lines are just more free flowing

bc4 there is probably more likely to beat me and less played overall

[neat sand]

??? Wtf

I played like garbage

[radiant swan]

alekhine looks fun to play though

only reason i wouldnt play it is cuz theres so many things to study

[naive jackal]

Why do you build me up, Buttercup baby?

[patent patrol]

eh i mean i learned it at like 1300

u mastered alekhines then lmao

[patent patrol]

its a lot of variation but practically u are following the same keys and ideas

[radiant swan]

I'll stick to the no skill opening

skill openings too hard caro ez

[patent patrol]

this is prob +2 for white

called the cambridge gambit

looks schizo

[stark copper]

20% win rate

[radiant swan]

well alekhines isnt meant to be good according to computer anyways lol

[patent patrol]

20% loss rate

[radiant swan]

+1 after Nf6 is wild

[patent patrol]

+1 after nf6 is chess.coms engine being weak

[stark copper]

oh true

[tired hamlet]

i just bought 12 pieces of sushi

[patent patrol]

the alekhines is arguably no more than equal out of the opening

+0.6 is what i would give objectively

[stark copper]

how is that skullable sushi is fire as fck

[tired hamlet]

that's what im sayin

[stark copper]

i bought 18 for lunch

[unique ledge]

What kind of sushi?

[radiant swan]

the space disadvantage though
after the nnue goes out lichess engine also starts thinking its +1 position

[tired hamlet]

with a side of yum yum sauce

[unique ledge]

Rainbow Roll?

[radiant swan]

alekhines is jus uncomfortable to play fr

[unique ledge]

& a side of edamame & kimchi yes?

[radiant swan]

anything that takes a crap ton of space is difficult

[patent patrol]

well if u play what stockfish plays i see it as no more than equal out of the opening

[tired hamlet]

spicy shrimp roll and california rolls

[radiant swan]

i dont like getting squeezed 🙏

c5 doesnt get you squeezed iirc

[patent patrol]

This sentence means nothing 2 me

[radiant swan]

its just heavy theory that's it

[patent patrol]

I mean I believe a bit in being able to play whatever opening

[radiant swan]

as a wise Dobyvatel2 said play Najdorf 🙏

[patent patrol]

As white I play e4 d4 nf3 multiple lines for each

The Sicilian I just do awful with

Mostly I try the dragon and I get beat bad

Kalashnikov I do well in but can’t keep it up after the middlegame

[unique ledge]

Aye @patent patrol, have you ever tried purely playing not in accordance to an opening, but in response to whites moves without any theory in mind?

[summer oar]

try hungarian + chinese dragon lines vs yugoslav cuz ur opponent will not expect it

[patent patrol]

Yes https://www.chess.com/openings/Kings-Fianchetto-Opening-Lasker-Simul-Special-Variation

[unique ledge]

Fundamentally, principled, & positional play until tactics are required?

[summer oar]

you should do more study on kalashnikov, it was one of my old favourites until people were stealing my prep

[unique ledge]

Bruhhh, yk that’s not what I mean 😭 😂

[radiant swan]

that thing hard counters g3

[patent patrol]

It’s how I found out this line

[summer oar]

yeah, in bullet lol

[thin hearth]

Hi good morning

[patent patrol]

But yes i play a lot of things that are made up by me maybe even just a little bit

[radiant swan]

iirc kalash isnt as good theres one line that makes black uncomfortable idk tho svesh sounds better

[patent patrol]

I freestyled Arkhangelsk theory vs bones one time

[summer oar]

nahhh ur a hater

[patent patrol]

Idfk arkhangelsk theory

[radiant swan]

he has a point Yugoslav hard counters dragon

[patent patrol]

Dragon may be for some people but def not for me

[remote kettle]

Hii

[patent patrol]

I like it too is the bad part

[radiant swan]

it is good

[summer oar]

svesh is more forcing lines and its dry if white knows what they’re doing. kalash much more strategical and you have more options + white may not be as familiar

[unique ledge]

At what rating does theory begin to be important? I hate theory & it irks me to have to think that part of chess is being knowledgable of cheat codes

[radiant swan]

but unfortunately engines exist and so Yugoslav was created

[patent patrol]

It rly depends on how u see it

[young crest]

BRILLIANTTT (i ran outta game review)

[remote kettle]

Will some one play with me

[summer oar]

nah it doesn’t, i actually prefer if white plays the yugoslav actually. when im playing dragon the most annoying line that i hate playing against is when they just do the short castle and do positional

[tired hamlet]

on what platform

[unique ledge]

K, now give me a solid answer

[remote kettle]

Chess.com

[tired hamlet]

are you good

[patent patrol]

There are 2300s who are like im 2300 and know zero theory lol its easy but they play like nf3 g3 and then go into 10 moves of theory each game

[summer oar]

9. g4 is best personally, but i dont play into mainline yugoslav

[remote kettle]

I will try i am 495

[tired hamlet]

okay let's play

Whats wrong with 856

best is to play Bc4 earlier so black can’t easily play Be6

[kindred crypt]

just a casual player

[unique ledge]

I play daily games to improve my early, mid, & end game, so I will get back to questioning you about this once I level up

[tired hamlet]

i'm 2-0 undefeated undisputed i have everything to lose i'll pass

[radiant swan]

im not familiar with any theory but I've heard there's a line that makes black uncomfortable
but from what you're saying kalash is a more flexible svesh lol

is Qd6 your own study

[magic shard]

I just noticed you're in a conversation I'll let you finish that

[kindred crypt]

I know this line till line Qd5

[magic shard]

no I don't play this with either colours I'm just wondering what you'd do against that

[harsh kite]

d3 i remember

[tight parcel]

ggs belle

[radiant swan]

opponents in blitz 🙏

[harsh kite]

kala has more flexibility

[radiant swan]

2 theory tryhards oh boy

my time to lurk

[magic shard]

Fair enough
I prefer the open h-file though in Qh4 Qe6+ Be2 Qg4 Qg3

[harsh kite]

yeah ik some ppl like that i didnt really like the attacking plan with Bh6 O-O-O personally

🙏

[young crest]

100% mouse slip 🥀

[summer oar]

be7 and be6 ye

[harsh kite]

i just feel like this convo isnt getting anywhere

[magic shard]

What's with Bh6 I wasn't aware of that

[harsh kite]

the general plan in response to g6 Bg7 iirc

you go bh6 and pile pressure on h7 stacking the rooks

[radiant swan]

are we still on the kalash vs svesh 🙏

[harsh kite]

nws

[radiant swan]

PIXEL i see you

[harsh kite]

pixel lurking

[radiant swan]

QUIT LURKING 😡😡😡😡

doryetuosenbcakohn lurks better

[kindred crypt]

opps in blitz, he took a knight on e5, but like it's a 2 move calculation to realize f6 knight gets trapped

[summer oar]

i mean with kalash you can freestyle a bit but with svesh its basically who knows the less theoretical moves dies

[magic shard]

Have you checked this out

Looks stupid but it's actually kind of cool

[radiant swan]

Rxe5 🥶

[harsh kite]

oh nah i dont think i ever looked into anything other than Bh6 thats what i was told to play

thats cool h6 Bc4

annoying knight that cant be kicked for now

closes the lsb

you also get Ne4 ig

[remote kettle]

@tight parcel thanks for playing

[radiant swan]

how did the queens disappear so fast lol

[magic shard]

Attacks h7, Bc4 ideas, Ne4 if needed and the knight there sees d6

[naive jackal]

FKFLNJNFNFFN

[radiant swan]

wdym theres no endgame in 2N caro

[magic shard]

I analyzed this and a lot of lines white gets the bishop pair

[radiant swan]

what is bro on about

breyer variation has an endgame

2n does not

i get aggressive games as black against 2n

[magic shard]

yes I refuted it

[broken hawk]

Yo does chess.com have a dating side to it

[radiant swan]

unless white also long castles

[harsh kite]

Ng5 is cool i might play Qh4

[magic shard]

do some more analysis on your own just to make sure

[broken hawk]

can you date people on chess.com

[harsh kite]

yeah will do

[radiant swan]

mai knows my caro setup against 2n better than i do

[naive jackal]

NO

[harsh kite]

annoying ass setup

[nimble arch]

stop being one of those guys

[harsh kite]

give me my advantage cleanly 😡

[broken hawk]

Blocked

[radiant swan]

its a trash setup vro

[harsh kite]

it takes quite some time to exploit it

[radiant swan]

its dubious af and it still works for some unknown reason

[harsh kite]

its like the rubenstein french where you go Nf6 sithout Nd7 and goes gxf6 O-O-O

so annoying

[somber lark]

doesnt seem bad to me

if it works like that

[magic shard]

ok fine
Its obvious sarcasm but whatever

[somber lark]

dor I got to your blitz peak again

[magic shard]

good

[kindred crypt]

[radiant swan]

it goes tartakower then Be6 Nd7 Qc7 O-O-O and then Bd6 with plans to go g5 h5 g4 Rg8 but idk though

[harsh kite]

what goofy line in the minderno is this

[summer oar]

i mean i was spamming Nc6 in both knight moves in french with the aim to queenside castle every game and now I’ve got another weapon hehehe

[magic shard]

Send pgn

[harsh kite]

wild

[magic shard]

what do you do against brilliants' line

[radiant swan]

ask mai she knows my line better 😭

[safe folio]

I was playing life steal and it went so bad I got jumped by 5 guys with 40 hearts💀 🙏 🙏 🙏 💀 🙏

[radiant swan]

im no theory tryhard 🥺

[magic shard]

what does she do

[harsh kite]

g3 i remember

[magic shard]

I need to consume caro information

[radiant swan]

idk she knows my setup against 2 knights caro

[magic shard]

what's the entire line until g3

[radiant swan]

Qe2 is good and i hate it

[magic shard]

I thrive on consuming caro information

[radiant swan]

jus play into my tartakower man

[magic shard]

yes

[radiant swan]

i need my long castle setup to win

[safe folio]

<@&745328830649991179> someone posted an inappropriate gif of a naked person💀 🙏

[magic shard]

@stark copper those who know

[harsh kite]

e4 c6 Nc3 d5 Nf3 de Nxe4 Nf6 Qe2 Bf5 Nxf6 gf d3 Nd7 g3

[magic shard]

@nimble arch those who know

[somber lark]

how do y'all play tartakower, I just dont understand it

[radiant swan]

vro is also getting himself muted 🙏

[summer oar]

yo is this theory 💀

[radiant swan]

one off topic message gives 1 day timeout vro

[safe folio]

I aint cause I know what I saw💀 🙏

[radiant swan]

this aint parrot lifesteal season 6 or 7 🙏

[magic shard]

tbh my prep isn't solid
I play 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O b5 6. Bb3 Bc5 7. c3 d6 8. d4 Bb6 9. Be3 O-O 10. Nbd2 h6 11. h3 Re8 12. Bc2 currently but I might switch

[radiant swan]

the plan is ez development and castle

[somber lark]

my a6 caro does the same

[harsh kite]

least booked ruy player

[magic shard]

oh yeah I do this too

[safe folio]

When I was 15 I want to be 2000 but now when I grow up I just want to get a job😭 😭 😭

[radiant swan]

yoyr a6 caro does not develop any piece

[harsh kite]

its just the most efficient way also you get Nh4 Bg6 and blacks kingside assault isnt so lethal

[somber lark]

its a waiting move for Nf3

[summer oar]

i mean i do it against advance variation so im curious what ur playing

[radiant swan]

tartakower plays Nf6

freeflow development afterwards

[harsh kite]

a6 caro is so PEAK!

[radiant swan]

peak cuz u have a high wr against it fr

[quasi nova]

Got my first invite to a chess tournament, I feel like I'm good at the game

[magic shard]

You know what I'm finding 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O b5 6. Bb3 Bc5 7. a4 Rb8 8. Nxe5 a little bit interesting so I might see if that works for me

[somber lark]

against Nc3 tho 62% winrate as black

[harsh kite]

i love it

[harsh kite]

i play a6 against 2n and have like 58% wr

[keen grotto]

Does Chessable work for you? The website is just loading for me.

[harsh kite]

i guess you can also do it against mainline

[summer oar]

i mean i like the modern steinitz personally

[wicked hill]

Why does chessable sounds like food?

[keen grotto]

Wow, an invite! What kind of tournament is it?

[rare carbon]

Daily reminder - " i am worst player ever"

[keen grotto]

You're thinking of Chefable.

[radiant swan]

I rather stick to my stupid long castle setup 🙏

[wicked hill]

Cheeseable?

[magic shard]

Have you seen 1. e4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nf6 5. Qe2 Bf5 6. Nxf6+ gxf6 7. d3 Nd7 8. g3 Ne5

[magic shard]

hell nah

[somber lark]

dor I kinda win with e5, never played smth so solid 💀

[harsh kite]

oh Nxe5 Qa5 yeah i think once

[radiant swan]

@somber lark come rated bullet vro

[reef canyon]

chat i just remembered a chess core memory

[harsh kite]

annoying line aswell but its rare so im not particularly worried

[somber lark]

come rated blitz

[magic shard]

what do you do vs the Ruy Lopez again

[reef canyon]

i got checkmated after a double rook sacrifice by a classmate

[radiant swan]

no i already played my one blitz game

[somber lark]

develop pieces?

[radiant swan]

vro doesnt want me to be 2300 blitz

[magic shard]

probably grind it as white because blacks structures kind of weird

[wicked hill]

I did not
I play c5
UmU

[quasi nova]

It's an end of year celebration with up to $2,000 of prizes (that's crazy), apparently I get access to the 3rd highest league cause I'm ranked 130th in the state, that's peak

[radiant swan]

ragebaiting dor 🙏

[harsh kite]

yeah Qa5 Bd2 Qxe5 Bc3

[somber lark]

I quit bullet

[summer oar]

not playing hippo 🐟

[radiant swan]

hai dor :3

[magic shard]

you know what Im talking about just answer properly lol

[quasi nova]

Ight I actually need to lock in now I'm washed af

[harsh kite]

its quite favorable

[somber lark]

Ive tried a6 Ba4 Nge7, or the breyer

[magic shard]

Qxe5 Qxe5 is fine too idk which ones better I haven't analyzed enough

[wicked hill]

I mean on my main account

This account is hippo defense only

[floral trellis]

Yo 1000 ELO by end of year looking very promising 👀

[magic shard]

bruh

[radiant swan]

why is the average rating of chat 2500 😔

[summer oar]

delayed cozio actually valid lowk

[somber lark]

the thing is they dont know theory either why would i

[magic shard]

why does zigzag play the deferred cozio

[wicked hill]

Raage bait

[magic shard]

line that no one plays ever

[radiant swan]

surprise element ig

[summer oar]

its funny cuz someone used it to ragebait kramnik and it worked

[reef canyon]

it should be 3000 but i alone bring it down

[wicked hill]

Play 1.h3

[magic shard]

It's literally ragebaiting me right now

[harsh kite]

even deferred schliemann is more played than that

[radiant swan]

thats no surprise element seen this in blitz too many times

they all lose

[harsh kite]

i actually didnt check that ill check now

[summer oar]

why delay the schliemann, just play it immediately bro like

[magic shard]

the vimun line lo

[harsh kite]

yuh

[somber lark]

it works like my a6 caro

[wicked hill]

Play nimzo Indian zimbwean hippo counter Gambit

[radiant swan]

vro is like CountingBrilliants 🙏

study no theory

[magic shard]

a6 caro is so bad

[summer oar]

cuz they chickened out and don’t want to play marshall game

[radiant swan]

dont be dor and mai vro

[kindred crypt]

🧢

[harsh kite]

nvm im wrong deferred cozio is played 16k times more than deferred schliemann

[radiant swan]

stay with me 🥺

[harsh kite]

36k and 20k

[radiant swan]

ur 3000 in disguise

[kindred crypt]

I am a 1500 in disguise

[radiant swan]

winning doesnt feel satisfying for u cuz you'd win either way 🙏

[wicked hill]

Chat can i get this account to 2000 with just Hippo defense/attack?

[summer oar]

yeah its easy

[kindred crypt]

yea

[radiant swan]

CountingBrilliants doesnt lie vro

[summer oar]

basically if u can get to 2000, u can play anything and get 2000

[radiant swan]

3000 is not 1500

[wicked hill]

Yeah make sense maybe
In 6 to 7 years

[somber lark]

I'm feeling the same in blitz aswell, the games are decided on hanging a piece

[kindred crypt]

ong same

[fast oar]

Are any of you guys really emotional players? I feel like sometimes I'll play with legit like 20 centipawn loss and 91% accuracy, and other games I'll blunder a piece on the 5th move because mental state or how focused I am.

[summer oar]

if you can’t get to 2000 playing another opening then you can’t get 2000 just playing one, its logic

[kindred crypt]

just dont hang piece vro and take opp hanging pieces ez 2200 atleast

[wicked hill]

I just need to git good

[fast oar]

I'm trying to solve this to play the game more seriously, and just improve as a player in general, but I feel like I'm at the whims of like, if I have eaten or not

I might be way too adhd for this game

[reef canyon]

jkao has proven to us that no one is too adhd for this game

[summer oar]

i only tilt when losing as white idk why, i have a big cope mechanism whenever I’m black so I think I’m playing better as black when I’m not but I somehow win cuz of the psychology

[magic shard]

Find a balance
Learn enough theory and then spend the rest of your time studying tactiques

[wicked hill]

JARVIS DO THE THING

[fast oar]

Yea I know, I'd love to know what their secrets are, hopefully without the answer being like, vyvanse

Doesn't Hess have ADHD, or am I mistaken?

[somber lark]

The only parameter which I look at is the winrate 💀

[summer oar]

bro is a hater 🥀

[wicked hill]

What is your win rate?

[magic shard]

Winrate doesn't apply to the people who study theory more than the average person

[wicked hill]

You just need to find your play style

[reef canyon]

arent we all too low elo for "playstyles"

[summer oar]

shankland and jospem have been cooking 5 star meals this whole time

[fast oar]

I'm trying a few different openings currently, to kinda "relearn" the game since I had dropped it for a while, been having some success with caro

[wicked hill]

Nu uh
I play chess for fun

[fast oar]

Before I became a stonewall andy and I felt like that opening was a bit of a crutch
