I managed to beat it knight odds second try but man 2 pawns odd is just pure memorization

[broken berry]

i didnt

[mortal bronze]

idk how good maximum is

[native musk]

It plays the same moves everytime

[uneven elm]

ugh what is going on

[jaunty thunder]

Yes but you decide to be 2⁵⁰⁰ online 💔

[mortal bronze]

if it's like stockfish i am never beating it

[signal snow]

Not the best move tbh

[mortal bronze]

oh lmao

[native musk]

Much much weaker

[rapid lynx]

Test

[broken berry]

thats basically sad

[mortal bronze]

hmm

[native musk]

Its komodo 25

[mortal bronze]

can people beat it with no odds?

[broken berry]

after all u dont need iq to play chess

[jaunty thunder]

I have 17k is that good or bad 💔

[woeful grail]

That has been my statement the entire time if you learn more and read you aren't smarter nor does your iq increase you literally just know more than the person next to you

[native musk]

Uhh maybe some sgm idk

[mortal bronze]

hmmm

[native musk]

Probably not anyone under 2600 tho

[broken berry]

chess its more about leraning motives and moves at higher level

[signal snow]

Good , I probably have 100k+ games

[woeful grail]

so someone with zero iq can play

[mortal bronze]

i don't do well against bots

[midnight bough]

It's rеtаrdеd but we're meant to die anyway (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

[broken berry]

and improving them over and over

[mortal bronze]

because i play hope chess and that doesn't work against them

[native musk]

Why not? I find them easier to play than lower rated players

[signal snow]

I am immortal

[mortal bronze]

those frauds

[broken berry]

don't humiliate yourself

[native musk]

Lmao yeah u gotta go 100% positional it gets boring to a point

[strange cloak]

Wow you are 3000elo

[midnight bough]

this guy

[broken berry]

yeah thats right but this wasnt my point i never type that

[mortal bronze]

why did you resign?

[strange cloak]

Who is looking for a rival

[visual plover]

You only trade to a endgame if you are up pieces or positionally dominant.

[woeful grail]

because you've never made a point

[native musk]

Only slightly

[strange cloak]

Hahahah

[woeful grail]

im losing braincells talking to this guy

[mortal bronze]

he has 16 seconds

[native musk]

Wasn't worth the resigning

[broken berry]

i was typing about improving problem sloving when u young can increase your iq

[midnight bough]

My dumbass would probably accidentally stalemate

[potent gulch]

Never resing, there's always a chance that you can get a stalemate

[broken berry]

thats diffrent its not about knowledge like books

[woeful grail]

that doesn't improve your iq whatsoever it just helps you think more creatively

[native musk]

Then stop talking to him dawg

[strange cloak]

But you are 3000elo you whould not

[broken berry]

i made it u just ignoring it. sad

[cold salmon]

i mean it's just a draw after all if white plays it correctly, just get the rook involved from the second rank, it's not a big deal but i mean i'm not saying it's a bad idea, there's just no "right" solution to this, there isn't even a solution like you just gotta make a move that's not really bad, and Qf6 is not even the best move according to the engine, well you might wanna say we're not engines but if i say Qg6 is a better try because white can still hold with correct play after Qf6, what is your defense for that?

[midnight bough]

I am actually 750 elo 😔

[strange cloak]

Ooooooo

[native musk]

WE aint reading allat

[broken berry]

iq i literally problem solving gng

[woeful grail]

what are u saying rn

[signal snow]

It takes an insane amount of effort to manipulate reality in that way because of my human form , kind of like jesus

[native musk]

Sometimes its not worth getting ragebaited trust me

[woeful grail]

atp im just gonna let him delude himself

[native musk]

[cold salmon]

well that's probably why you don't read books too 🤓 (i don't read them)

[midnight bough]

[woeful grail]

i am just not gonna engage in it

[strange cloak]

Jesus is a friend

[potent gulch]

No defense, everything u said is true 🙂 the thing is that, the positions of the book is all means to learn new ideas and think like it was a real game so yeah, while qg6 it's equal and some other moves, they don't show a clear idea besides just put your piece in a better square, the book wants to show instructive ideas such qf6, but it's completely right what u said, you just misunderstood the porpuse of it

[native musk]

I can't read anymore

I have to read tons of books to be ready

[broken berry]

[old lark]

Hi, someone knows a website/youtuber to progress at chess outside of puzzles on lichess and chesscom?

[cold salmon]

yeah alright cool, i mean it's good to try different things on your opponent maybe they mess up you don't know, but like i was just speaking objectively, i also think Qf6 might be more effective than Qg6, not in high level chess but you got what i meant

[strange cloak]

I believe you please give me some tips

[broken berry]

acting if thats dont work both ways

[uneven elm]

Dr. Cans Chess Clinic on youtube

[woeful grail]

hikaru, daniel naroditsky, gothamchess, remote chess academy, etc...

[woeful grail]

[tribal sage]

stop blundering pieces

[strange cloak]

[twilit totem]

Oscar is the best bot of chess

[visual plover]

in time trouble just move to a square you think ur opponent wont check you from and use pieces (if there is) like pawns and dance around them you can get lucky if the opponent has 10 seconds or less

[tribal sage]

and take your opponents free pieces

[strange cloak]

thank you

[broken berry]

typical

[woeful grail]

play rapid learn the game then you can learn how to speed through blitz

[old lark]

Oh okay thank you his channel seems very interesting

[tribal sage]

that literally gets you to way above your current rating

[potent gulch]

I understand that, and actually, that's a real thing in master level games, there still some tricks but they just choose to resign, could go right for them by not resining and tryna the tricks? Yes, but they Don't wanna spend any more time on the game, just go back to home, analize and come back to play another day. so I respect that, tho, about not finding opponents who blunder stalemate is not something u can, it's random, and happens a lot, mainly at lower levels

[potent gulch]

Portuguese mentioned 🔥🔥

[twilit totem]

TbI tyanesh slishkom dolgo

[cold salmon]

no i didn't say it's not playable but most likely it won't work(win you the game directly), whatever since you said puzzle i was looking for an objective answer anyway you didn't really specify anything and like even if you did it's still a bit sus like the puzzle is put there to specifically show that idea, we are all different you don't gotta do the Qf6 thing if you didn't like it, he liked it and did it then okay sure, but it's coming to personal decision after all

[naive jolt]

What do you expect. 190?

[tribal sage]

I like pretending that falo portugues

[signal snow]

Wait so you are the same elo as me(at your best)

[naive jolt]

Any1 want 10 0 or higher?

[naive jolt]

On lichess? Wow thats crazy but then again I dont use that account anymore

[autumn bramble]

Im blitzing out

Blitzing should be the new synonym of freaking

[signal snow]

I'm currently 2500 bullet

[midnight bough]

Why does checkmate feel so good 😭

[turbid wing]

will playing chess with a flipped board for a while help me get better at seeing what the opponent can do

Man gukesh drew to sindarov

He was winning after that queen sac

[naive jolt]

I have three accounts: One which some ppl know thats a PC one, one that is a troll acc on phone and one that not even my best friend knows XD for LICHESS

[potent gulch]

I see that, when those times come, look at the position/puzzle think on it like it was a real game, think about what would u do, seek the answer, motif, and then your move and idea, sometimes, like it was this time, your move qg6 also works :3

[kindred crypt]

Wsp

[thorn cliff]

300s make a lot of one move blunders

[uneven elm]

200s make mistakes constantly

[kindred crypt]

Anyone know if the catalan is a good opening to learn at 1500

[signal snow]

Since we are the same, let me give you a useful tip, forget preparation

[fringe hamlet]

anyone wanna play

[thorn cliff]

be more observant, 300s (or 600s for that matter) will make simple game-losing mistakes more than once per game

[naive jolt]

Nah, that 2554 was ages ago

[naive jolt]

Anyone up for 10 0 or higher time controls?

[cold salmon]

Qg6 was not my move, i mean i thought of it of course but idk if i would play that, i also saw Qf6 and just thought it was a draw :D

[naive jolt]

Anyone thats not @tribal sage btw up for 10 0

[thorn cliff]

Show a game where your opponent “didn’t make any mistakes”

[limber cove]

I hit 1650

[signal snow]

So you are 2300 now?

[naive jolt]

ye 🙁

[limber cove]

I climbed 100 elo in 2 hours

[uneven elm]

first of all, Stop resigning

second of all, switch to rapid

[potent gulch]

I see, qf6 is likely gonna end in a draw too but very hard to play and draw as a human so I don't blame ya :p

[fringe hamlet]

Bad advice

[thorn cliff]

Perhaps you can improve on mistake spotting

[orchid sedge]

it's the best advice one can get at 300

[uneven elm]

you literally resigned in one game because the opponent moved a pawn to attack your knight even though nothing was happening

[fringe hamlet]

Lies

[limber cove]

I did something humanly impossible

[naive jolt]

Yo you up 4 rapid I need practice for a game tmw

[limber cove]

Chess at 3am and no tilt !

[thorn cliff]

As a 2500 I don’t resign even if I lose a rook in the opening lol (I checkmated an opp down a rook yesterday)

[oblique dagger]

Hai cutoes

[orchid sedge]

naa sory, I'm going to sleep rn 😔

[fringe hamlet]

The best advice at 300 is to learn IQP and Carlsbad structures and how to work around them

[signal snow]

Damn, I hope you come back to your peak strength, it's not that hard though, it's a psychological thing, just approach every game with the mentality that your opponents can't surprise you unless they are 2600+, that mentality will get you to 2500 again in a week

[potent gulch]

Holyyy, you must be mittens undercover!!! 🔥

[cold salmon]

i mean i really tried anything possible tbh cause i was just looking for a winning line but at some point i was like certain that this was a drawn game, ofc i could still be wrong but like the probability was probably very very low, anyway then i opened up an engine just to make sure and yeah that's it

[thorn cliff]

well there’s the problem, losing a knight is never the end of the world in the 3 digits

[naive jolt]

No Im getting more used to long chess for irl. Also that 2500 was after like a few months grind

[orchid sedge]

??? bro

[uneven elm]

its not even good for white, ypu can attack the pawn and maybe win it even

[naive jolt]

Hai

[thorn cliff]

Yes you are. Adversity produces brains of steel

[signal snow]

What is your current rapid elo on lichess?

[torn sparrow]

Aura

[naive jolt]

2100 XD I have 0 paitence online

[orchid sedge]

I'm playing down a rook and a piece at 2300 level and win sometimes, and you're not gonna play down a knight at 300?

[midnight bough]

I sometimes think that I'm a complete failure towards my family because of school so I either wanna become a chess champion or idek

[potent gulch]

Mhmmm, I understand you, not to mention that when we see a position being sent, be it by someone or even a coach, our brains automatically tries to find a win because of the puzzles we costly do on websites

[naive jolt]

I still want to try rapid 2day an actually try since I have a game tmw

[orchid sedge]

????

[thorn cliff]

Not a good motivation, I’m sure there are ways to feel less of a failure

[uneven elm]

stop resigning.

[orchid sedge]

because that's how you win at chess..?

[orchid sedge]

why tf would you resign here 😭

[thorn cliff]

and if you see the mistake, then you win. Not rocket science brotha

[cold salmon]

you know he is 2500 bullet right?

[signal snow]

I'm 2300 rapid, but I mostly play bullet, it helps me a lot in slow time controls because bullet is very intense so when I switch to rapid it feels easy

[uneven elm]

thats why I used that example

[torn sparrow]

What if he doesn't

[naive jolt]

He told me

[orchid sedge]

i would take black here tbh

[thorn cliff]

then do the procedure

[midnight bough]

If I study maybe I'll feel better but I heavily feel like a failure and most of the time I don't think my mother is proud to own me

[uneven elm]

thats what Im saying

[strange cloak]

This guy is good

[orchid meteor]

holy fck im almost 2300 bullet

[strange cloak]

Respect him

[naive jolt]

right yk what screw this

Any1 want bullet

[orchid meteor]

im good bro

[naive jolt]

Unrated?

[orchid meteor]

i lost to u last time and i need to keep my momentum

[severe crystal]

thanks

[thorn cliff]

might be a false assumption, unless your mother ties your worth to academics which is a whole other issue that isn’t your fault

[uneven elm]

Im not tryna be stupid, but if you resign because your knight has to move, you might have more fun with a different game tbh

[naive jolt]

Ah, no worries

[orchid meteor]

its not that i dont wanna play u, its bcse im scared

😭

[signal snow]

Challenge me on lichess, my username: gods_loneley_man unrated, but I am drunk right now

[thorn cliff]

At the end of the day, I got to 2500 by learning to fight through adversity. Through hell or high water, I’ve survived insanely lost positions against strong players

[orchid meteor]

does this mean god promotes alcohol?

[naive jolt]

Ill challenge you on the account I use for discord players so prob low rated and provisional

[signal snow]

Nah it's only for me

No one ever wins a game by resigning

[orchid meteor]

real

[cold salmon]

yeah i guess that's the case but idk personally what i think when i see a position is not trying to find a win i feel like

[thorn cliff]

If they can win the position, they should prove it to me by checkmating me before flagging

[midnight bough]

It's not that my mother is a really sad lady and I'm just extremely lazy to learn in school and I blame it all on myself which is a totally fixable issue so because of that I think that my mother would probably disown me when I'm 16 😭

[uneven elm]

tbh I sometimes resign too when I mess up my openings (when its a casual game). When its a real game where I like blundered I fight back. Sometimes I resign too early in general though to be honest

[thorn cliff]

The only time I may resign is in an actual hopeless position OTB and it would be disrespectful to play out a ladder mate for example

[uneven elm]

if you play on for 30 moves the opponent will blunder like five queens anyways

[thorn cliff]

But I’ve come back from -5s all the time

Against titled players too

[uneven elm]

thats a good mindset. I need to do that as well, sometimes ive resigned when it wasnt even lost and I got mad at myself

[orchid sedge]

if u resign in positions that are better for you and cry about how your opponents are soo good then I really don't know what to say abymore

[uneven elm]

they do. You dont see it, but they do. Your opponents arent some magical super humans

[ripe cradle]

I've resigned a few too many winning positions now I fight until the bitter end :P

[orchid sedge]

why tf would you resign here omg

[ember pewter]

moving your king is fine usually when queens are traded

[orchid sedge]

I feel like you're just ragebaing people for fun 😭

[ember pewter]

more likely than not

[orchid sedge]

it's just an exchange and you're at 300 level bro

[ember pewter]

it's probably better since ur king is active

[ripe cradle]

The real question is why didn't he go Be6

[orchid sedge]

yes?

[thorn cliff]

Seems like his problem is threat recognition

[ember pewter]

uhh no he loses a piece

[orchid sedge]

nvm you're down a bishop

[uneven elm]

first of all, if you wanna improve, you gotta ask yourself what your opponent wants. after Ng5 just defend your pawn

[ember pewter]

taking the bishop is probably better here

[ripe cradle]

If Nxa8 there is Bxa8 and black is down the exhcnahe

[ripe cradle]

It is

[humble eagle]

why are rooks so good😭

[ember pewter]

maybe try to study tactics and openings first

[uneven elm]

your opponent would have blundered two pieces back in ten moves, DONT RESIGN

[orchid sedge]

I would probably still win this position 15% of the time against a 2300 rated playrr, against a 300 rated player he will just blunder this rook in the next 3 moves

[ember pewter]

Ok yea at 300 elo it's kind of just a apocalypse

[orchid sedge]

they should nerf them tbh

[humble eagle]

being down an exchange isnt real pre 2000

[orchid meteor]

ok wtf 2283 😭

[ember pewter]

within the first 10 moves you lose half ur pieces

[orchid meteor]

insane cap

[grave hamlet]

Chess is funny

[orchid meteor]

why do people underestimate people with lower elos than them

it pisses me off

[ember pewter]

im pretty sure a 1500 can convert N + 3 pawns vs R + 3 pawns

[uneven elm]

so what?? If you resign you lose instantly?

[ripe cradle]

I can hang a Bishop in the opening and still win in 2300 rapid so...

[uneven elm]

they will blunder a fork 100%

[humble eagle]

what about b+3

[ember pewter]

my coach scolds me whenever i try to play hope chess against a lower elo player saying it makes me play like trash

[ember pewter]

idk when i do it, i just create a imbalance

[humble eagle]

bro i was just salty i lost an endgame down an exchange

[grave hamlet]

Hope chess is a hard habit to kill cause of how fun it can be at times

[thorn cliff]

It does

[orchid meteor]

ok :( well thats expected if ur down the exchange

[humble eagle]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[uneven elm]

at this elo everyone constantly blunders, it doesnt matter if youre objectively losing for a few moves

[orchid meteor]

u should be salty about reaching the exchange down position

Hope chess is primarily a thing to use if you’re losing and need a trap to get yourself out of the situation

[ember pewter]

think of it like this, if you cannot win, atleast give your opponent a headache trying to convert

[humble eagle]

bro i swear my bishop was doing work, but my king was bullied by the two towers and he yoinked all my pawns and pushed the f pawn

its not fairrrrr lmao

[orchid meteor]

bruh ok

[ember pewter]

generally hope chess kind of just isnt good unless you're improving a piece at the same time while setting the trap

[orchid meteor]

aight 17 elo from 2300 bullet

[humble eagle]

isnt that every game

[orchid meteor]

i need this so badly :(

[thorn cliff]

yeah but in desperate times, one can pray for a miracle lol

[ember pewter]

engine hated this move 🥀

[orchid sedge]

if they are on the same side? absolutely not

[ripe cradle]

Tbh more of the time if you are losing just playing good chess will do the trick

[humble eagle]

why would you ever play c5

[thorn cliff]

You gave your opp the d5 square for free and cut out the possibility of a d5 break yourself

[ripe cradle]

It's only when it's REALLY bad you should result to hope chrss

[humble eagle]

bro has a way with words

thats what i meant to type

[ember pewter]

it frees up c4 allowing knight c4 and knight d6

it's just a manuover to outpost my knight

[humble eagle]

you block the bishop tho

[harsh sky]

i did too

[ember pewter]

kinda cant be stopped

[ember pewter]

i will reroute it after

[humble eagle]

and allow nd5 for oppoentn

[ripe cradle]

The e5 outpost: "do I look like a joke to you"

[uneven elm]

it kinda kills both your bishops yk

[ember pewter]

i was planning to give up my reti bishop

[humble eagle]

whats a reti bishop

[uneven elm]

then you have weak light squares

[tall wagon]

Beat the CM

[ember pewter]

catalan bishop*

[humble eagle]

beast

[harsh sky]

sin

[thorn cliff]

A good idea in theory, but chess is a game of specifics. Black can probably break out with e5 and start a fight before white even has 2 tempi to relocate the knight

[uneven elm]

if you have to give the g2 bishop up, smth went wrong

[mortal bronze]

recently i won a game while being down two rooks and a piece

[naive jolt]

@signal snow xd you see how tilted I am LOL

[humble eagle]

lowk i get him tho the knight on d6 looks pretty good

[ember pewter]

apparently he could've broken out of the position with his LSB

[uneven elm]

especially when black has a light squared bishop after that, they can attack you very hard

[ripe cradle]

Yeah prolly a better idea to go Nf3 to cover it and then go h3 Ne5 to get the outpost

[tall wagon]

Nimzo larsen?

[ember pewter]

and made it really good

[fickle phoenix]

I once won a game with a knight and king vs knight and king in a bullet game

[mortal bronze]

hehe nice

[uneven elm]

wdym nimzo larsen

[mortal bronze]

own him

[cold salmon]

@indigo nexus he beat you bruh

[uneven elm]

thats Nf3 b3

[humble eagle]

this gotta be cap

[signal snow]

Bro I'm drunk asf, I'm in a club

[mortal bronze]

interesting

[thorn cliff]

yeah with Be6-d5

[mortal bronze]

only works on lichess sadly

[naive jolt]

And I still lose - insane

[mortal bronze]

because chess.com is braindead

[fickle phoenix]

Hmm why

[winged sage]

[tall wagon]

1.b3

[uneven elm]

at that elo its just "me try not to blunder, eat free pieces"

[cold salmon]

just get better bruh

[signal snow]

Nah you are good, that last game proved it

[fleet dove]

Rightfully so c5 is terrible

[tall wagon]

Lol

[fickle phoenix]

Its a possible mate,Even tho its literally the rarest mate EVER

[mortal bronze]

on chess.com it would be classified as a draw by insufficient material

[oblique dagger]

🧑‍🔧

[thorn cliff]

a) doesn’t happen, you can improve b) with puzzles training, and c) is an exaggeration

[ember pewter]

i'm still not used to people putting up a fight against me trying to improve pieces slowly

[uneven elm]

what has that got to do with a bishop on g2

[mortal bronze]

waow

[naive jolt]

Thx

[ember pewter]

while trying to make theirs terrible

[fickle phoenix]

But its not insucifient if youre playing a noob

[oblique dagger]

Whats ur chess personality owo

[signal snow]

You are welcome 🗿

[tall wagon]

Idk I blunderd

[mortal bronze]

tell that to chess.com

[ripe cradle]

"heh I'm going to hang my b2 pawn because if they take I trap the queen" Opponent plays Qxh2# for getting I have a knight on f3

[uneven elm]

thats untrue

[mortal bronze]

i forgot

[oblique dagger]

Do it again uwu

[thorn cliff]

at 1600 opps usually don’t put up a fight against a principled plan but at 2200+ they will fight tooth and nail to prove the superiority of their idea / stop yours

[humble eagle]

how do you type in cursive

[mortal bronze]

too lazzyyy

[tribal sage]

idk vro

[ripe cradle]

magic

[fleet dove]

2200s still just do whatever they want ngl

[humble eagle]

I love you

[thorn cliff]

Most opps at the 2000 level would likely play e5

[fleet dove]

Prophylactic thinking is very difficult for many

[tribal sage]

thanks

[humble eagle]

♥️

[tall wagon]

Say less

[humble eagle]

?

[ripe cradle]

Play c6 and break open the center?

[cold salmon]

nah you'll surely see them appearing in your games, you not seeing them doesn't mean they aren't there

[ember pewter]

i studied some karpov games but i cannot use that correctly still

[signal snow]

What even is that

[uneven elm]

develop piece. Qd7 idk its not rocket science

[tribal sage]

?

[ember pewter]

i can use it like once a month

[humble eagle]

[orchid meteor]

goddam it i cannot break through 2280s

[tribal sage]

uno reverse

[thorn cliff]

There are a lot of decent moves here

[mortal bronze]

um that's a lot higher than i will ever be

[fervent anchor]

what is this?

[humble eagle]

so what you need to do is, in fact, after a long explanation, checkmate the other personers alleged king

[kindred crypt]

Guys im 1500 what r some good openings

[fleet dove]

Takes a lifetime

[orchid meteor]

nah i ned to flag

[uneven elm]

it connects rooks and the queen is better there than on d8. it does more than nothing and thats enough

[signal snow]

What the hell💀

[mortal bronze]

pasta

[humble eagle]

Lol.. boi..☠️

[orchid meteor]

vienna, italian, grob, queens gambit

[ember pewter]

u can use karpov's rule perfectly?

[fervent anchor]

ik

[humble eagle]

why tf did i laugh at thaat

argh

[fleet dove]

Prophylaxis is not Karpov’s rule

[kindred crypt]

Alr ty tricky wait is the catalan or modern good openings as well

[thorn cliff]

The Gibbins-Weidenhagen gambit is pretty fun.

[fleet dove]

If anything it’s nimzovitsch’s

[limpid viper]

crazy switchup

[humble eagle]

[thorn cliff]

He was but he’s not known for creating the concept

[tribal sage]

neither are person

[cold salmon]

[humble eagle]

@signal snow Twin theyre on to us

[thorn cliff]

Clock is a weapon but if you want to improve, play rapid and take your time

[limber cove]

Some people here are very chronically online

[fleet dove]

My goat

[ember pewter]

[signal snow]

Wait what

[fleet dove]

Surely I will join you soon

[uneven elm]

e5, c6, Qd7, Ne4 whatever man theres a million options just pick one that doesnt blunder

[orchid meteor]

god spelt backwards is dog 🤔 so if u do the maths that makes u guys the same

[humble eagle]

[limpid viper]

maybe if you get another helo win your confidence will be boosted enough to get there

[naive jolt]

No, Play Nd3+ and youre winning

[humble eagle]

[signal snow]

Well I created everything so yeah

[orchid meteor]

[humble eagle]

[naive jolt]

[tribal sage]

[fleet dove]

Bro I prepped like 11 moves against your dumbass when you play something different every game I don’t need you

[uneven elm]

nah, dont know if its that good to have them as pets

[limber cove]

Your issue is you lock pawns down try breaking or starting minority attacks

[naive jolt]

Anyone want RAPID?

[final moth]

why did u resign🙏🏻

[orchid meteor]

y did u resignt this

[limpid viper]

the prep was weak

[thorn cliff]

Oh no you hung a fork. Boo hoo. Fight like hell as if you’re gonna lose your job if you don’t win

[tribal sage]

yes so what

[humble eagle]

so the sandfox in your pfp is just a random

[fleet dove]

[orchid meteor]

[naive jolt]

Its blitz.Hes rated 271. WIN

[humble eagle]

[naive jolt]

Hmmm its fine, user

[thorn cliff]

@frosty grail I’ll be real, I think you’re a hopeless case here, the only reason being that you resign for the most trivial stuff.

[ember pewter]

xfuroseigyo

[fleet dove]

[signal snow]

Not at the 2400+ level , hell no

[tribal sage]

[uneven elm]

I would say the bigger issue is the whining about it and not considering anyones advice on what to do.

[naive jolt]

I dont get it. Did he play Rc1 or smth

[ember pewter]

can u resend

[fleet dove]

Even at the 2400 level

[humble eagle]

[fleet dove]

You should resign NOW

https://tenor.com/view/ltg-gif-40123618314459872

[midnight shore]

i dont know why but i feel so happy after winning a game that took my elo from 2026-2032 it makes no sense its my happiest game of all time rn

[tribal sage]

silent move, check check check

[naive jolt]

lol this happens to me all too often

[thorn cliff]

Nothing can be done if someone gives up too easily

[signal snow]

Wait till you meet my opponents, the game is done when the clock is 0.00

[normal mason]

also no

[tribal sage]

too hard for me

[ember pewter]

@naive jolt can u resend it, i didn't get it

[thorn cliff]

Bro ascended 6 years

[ember pewter]

nvm got it

[naive jolt]

resent and good luck

[uneven elm]

I do it too, but at least I acknowledge it like...

[fleet dove]

And the only time the clock hits 0 is when it’s my opponents because I ALWAYS resign

[naive jolt]

Which way black pawns moving

[signal snow]

My opponents are FMs btw

[tribal sage]

Qf5?

[humble eagle]

it depends on if you have ANY counterplay

[normal mason]

u are white black pawns are moving down

[fleet dove]

So what

[humble eagle]

if youre literally just a sitting duck hit the ff button lil bro

[signal snow]

They never resign

[fleet dove]

They do

[normal mason]

b2… checkmate

[fleet dove]

Because they are smart

[signal snow]

Well it's like 90% never resign 10% resign

[tribal sage]

as a proud 101 elo, I was correct

[fleet dove]

Nah

[severe dock]

-1/10 ragebait 🥀

[midnight shore]

why are you on a road to 100 elo if your 101 elo

[uneven elm]

move back and forth, maybe they blunder a repitition, flag them, idk

[signal snow]

I play them everyday so yeah

[tribal sage]

because I'm not 100 yet

[fleet dove]

No

[thorn cliff]

1. Qa3+ Ra2 2. Rd2 Rxa3 3. Rb2! Ra2 4. Rb1#

[humble eagle]

In blitz? totally never resign but rapid?

[signal snow]

Sure thing bro 😭🙏

[native musk]

"rb2!"

[uneven elm]

honestly I would say dont resign, cause to me it happened too many times I resigned, and it wasnt even lost

[naive jolt]

Qa3 Ra2 Rd2 b2 Rb2 Ra3 Rb4 gg

[normal mason]

this took me way way longer than the actual puzzle

[fleet dove]

Trust me I spoke to all the FMs, their resignation rate is at least 50%

[tribal sage]

you're hopeless if you keep resigning

[fleet dove]

We need to up those numbers

[uneven elm]

This is ragebait

[thorn cliff]

Ummm take with queen was what I assumed

[signal snow]

Sure thing bro

[humble eagle]

😭

[mortal bronze]

as a future wfm. i can say that my resign rate is 0%

[humble eagle]

bd1 youre fine bro

[normal mason]

i mean u have to be accurate lol u are like a move away from stalemate

[tribal sage]

that's why you're low elo

[fleet dove]

I can pull up at the very least 20 games where youve resigned

[tribal sage]

[native musk]

Thanks

[fleet dove]

Woat advice

[uneven elm]

oh no my opponent castled, lets resign we got a cheater

[thorn cliff]

My toe hurts, imma resign

[mortal bronze]

you misspelled goat

[signal snow]

Resigning is not that easy, your opponent has to trust that you can convert the position, ive had IMs resigning

[uneven elm]

I have a slightly sore throat, I gotta resign immediately

[fleet dove]

I’ve had GMs resign, their title doesn’t matter

What matters is that they know what’s best for them

[humble eagle]

@uneven elm I didnt get the bishop im done

[thorn cliff]

Ironically I am in bed with a fever

[fleet dove]

That they resign like a proper chess player should

[humble eagle]

what do i do

[dark forum]

I run around with my king until time runs up! No resigning here

[uneven elm]

Oh no, hope you recover quick 🙁

[signal snow]

I've checkmated GMs 🗿

[fleet dove]

Checkmate and resignation both have the same end result

[thorn cliff]

I’ve beaten 3200s, get on my level (I’m not kidding)

[signal snow]

I've outplayed GMs in the endgame 🗿

[mortal bronze]

checkmate happens with dignity. resignation happens with shame.

[tribal sage]

Oh no my opponent played d4 instead of e4 imma resign

[uneven elm]

my opponent played the sicilian, only one way to deal with it right guys?

[naive jolt]

Hmm this is annoying

[mortal bronze]

never resign

[thorn cliff]

My best win is 3254 on my chess.com profile

[fleet dove]

Is this a flexing competition? Nobody cares who youve beat

[naive jolt]

Next time you play me ill play d4 then

[tender onyx]

We need a 2vs2 system

[mortal bronze]

unless it's me you beat

[signal snow]

Don't worry I'm drunk vro

[mortal bronze]

but that won't happen because that's impossible

[tribal sage]

ts not clash vro

[uneven elm]

Wow

[humble eagle]

@uneven elm how do i not resign and tilt?

[thorn cliff]

(it’s tact1c lol)

[fleet dove]

Yea this would actually be big news if you managed to best me

[native musk]

Masters are just next generation of countings

[fleet dove]

Resignation is dignity

[somber kindle]

I dont play any accounts created in 2025 or 2026

[humble eagle]

[fleet dove]

Checkmate is shame

[uneven elm]

I dont understand the values

[ember pewter]

OHHH SO THIS WAS THE LINE

[signal snow]

Blindfold chess is the key to being IM/GM fight me

[tribal sage]

you can barely win winning positions and neither can your opponents

[wicked hill]

Make it a draw

[naive jolt]

I don't know theory here xd. Have you seen the Noteboom?

[ember pewter]

huh?

[uneven elm]

at this point just play candy crush or sum bruh

[humble eagle]

its your chess.com profile. It ranks your offense, defense etc. And it says to win, i should 100% flag you

[ember pewter]

my coach taught me this the moment i hit 1500

[wicked hill]

Me to lol

[thorn cliff]

I have a newspaper with my name on it about me, calling me “the blindfolded wizard”

[uneven elm]

thats very accurate actually

[naive jolt]

ok nothing its a good black opening but similarly complicated

[ember pewter]

it's called rev grunfeld or something?

[native musk]

Not resigning = wasting your time on an uninteresting game you just easily blundered

[naive jolt]

ANYONE ELSE WANNA PLAY RAPID

[uneven elm]

Ive always been really slow

[humble eagle]

Holy demon

[ember pewter]

usually people don't find Rc8

[signal snow]

Really?

[naive jolt]

no its basically d4 d5 e6 c4 Nc3 c6 Nf3 dc4

[ember pewter]

i have a hard time playing 1.d4

[native musk]

Big brother

[humble eagle]

Nah rip

[ember pewter]

i mean i play reti/pseudo catalan but

[ember pewter]

wait that's technically a d4 opening

[uneven elm]

my defense should be way lower though

[wicked hill]

Just don't blunder vroo

[thorn cliff]

I advanced to stage 2 of the 2026 daily championship lol

[uneven elm]

Im horrible at defending

[signal snow]

Bro I've had many of my posts being restricted too

[naive jolt]

Oth this is daily xd. I dont do daily; Im scared of timeouting

[native musk]

[thorn cliff]

85% of games there have ended in timeout so far

[uneven elm]

Oh me too kinda yay 😄

[signal snow]

Is this a meme?

[naive jolt]

ANYONE WANT RAPID?

[thorn cliff]

the low time is due to all the 10+0.1 spamming

[humble eagle]

No im sure youre not. Youre great at chess!

[ember pewter]

real catalan looks a bit hard to play

[native musk]

It's big brother

[naive jolt]

idk, prob a random gif when you search up

[uneven elm]

its great! theres theory though

[signal snow]

Oh the 1980 stuff right

[uneven elm]

but many people play closed catalan in a similar way

[humble eagle]

how does one get 2800 in bullet

[native musk]

Yuhh

[thorn cliff]

literally 1984

[naive jolt]

Usually, better openings have more theory

[tulip roost]

But Catalan >>>>

[thorn cliff]

Mr.Fish

[ember pewter]

it's good but i was told, it's better if i start by playing my own understanding of catalan first, so i don't end up just playing theory for the sake of it and not understanding the moves

[uneven elm]

you only gotta study catalan theory if you wanna play it in otb classical

[native musk]

Im quitting chess

[naive jolt]

That is a general rule for any opening

[signal snow]

I'm the best drunk person in history

[thorn cliff]

Gibbins-Weidenhagen theory be like

[naive jolt]

Why? Based on 4 puzzles. THats insane

[uneven elm]

personally I play more of a reti rn though too

[native musk]

We need visual proof

[ember pewter]

my repertoire is kinda mid

[oak chasm]

Does not look like chess.com for me

[native musk]

1 elo tilt, im unbelievably washed

[uneven elm]

aw thank you

[native musk]

Shh

[signal snow]

You can see for yourself

[ember pewter]

caro kann, reti, FRIED LIVER!?!?!?! (kings indian, sicilian)(never used)

[oak chasm]

Lol

[naive jolt]

I am always washed. Even when I'm not. Don't question the logic.

[native musk]

How?

[oak chasm]

Black lion

[severe dock]

fugggg bullet

[uneven elm]

maybe I could give you some lines in dms you could try, idk what move order you play though

[signal snow]

Nevermind

[wicked hill]

Bro just don't be blind and you Will reach 500 easly

[ember pewter]

well i start with nf3

[severe dock]

smh 1 hour of grinding bullet and I only went up by like 3 elo

[ember pewter]

then my priority is to stop e5

[signal snow]

Anon the goat

[uneven elm]

yeah

[ember pewter]

and to fianchetto my lsb and use it for the rest of the game

[uneven elm]

same

so if they go for example d5 g6 Bg7 I go d4 to stop e5

[ember pewter]

i'm told to never trade my LSB off unless i can get a bigger advantage from iut

[humble eagle]

not use it* is more real

[uneven elm]

thats true

its very powerful

[somber kindle]

Imagine learning theory🤣 I’d rather play Fischer random

[ember pewter]

but the bishop look sso cool with the huge diagonal

[native musk]

Magnus wannabe

[humble eagle]

isnt it usually the dark square bishop

[ember pewter]

wha

[uneven elm]

I play like the most untheoretical opening ever but oh well go off I guess

[ember pewter]

usually the DSB sucks in my theory

[humble eagle]

yeah you fiancheeto the dark squared bishop

[wicked hill]

Catalan

[ember pewter]

i only play Bb2 to support Ne5

or Ba3 in some scenarios

[uneven elm]

what lines do you struggle against?

[ember pewter]

probably rev grunfeld

[somber kindle]

Finegold wannabe

[uneven elm]

I like the double fianchetto often

[humble eagle]

I see

[ember pewter]

i always double fianchetto cause my DSB sucks

[native musk]

GM wannabe

[ember pewter]

mostly*

cause i suck at using my DSB

[somber kindle]

FGM wannabe

[uneven elm]

This?

[humble eagle]

and youre what, great with the lsb?

[native musk]

Wtf is FGM

[signal snow]

Drunk me very strong, probably 2600+

[humble eagle]

bishop is bishop

[ember pewter]

not really i suck with both of them

[somber kindle]

It’s a female grand master title

[severe dock]

which opening you talking about?

[native musk]

Its WGM

[uneven elm]

reti

[ember pewter]

well i like this line most of the time but the moment i see Rc8 i think im cooked

[severe dock]

bc I don't think u get to double fianchetto always

[humble eagle]

would you rather have a dsb or a lsb

[ember pewter]

reti, pseudo catalan

[native musk]

They need to add RGM fr

[ember pewter]

honestly depends on the position

[humble eagle]

just which do you prefer

[uneven elm]

rc8 you take on d5 and go Qa4+

[somber kindle]

So you actually do wannabe one🤣

[humble eagle]

noooo like in general

[native musk]

Im not gonna elaborate

[fading kelp]

I'm addicted to this move

[ember pewter]

i mean

[uneven elm]

Qd7 and then Qxd7 Kxd7 is forced

[severe dock]

usually you won't have the tempo needed for it and/or one of the bishops is just not optimally placed on a long diagonal bc of the pawn structure

[ember pewter]

idk

[native musk]

[ember pewter]

bishop is bishop

it just depends if it's good

[naive jolt]

So your'e a knight lover. Wow

[somber kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/that-is-messed-up-gif-9714963639675861025

[signal snow]

Yo bro is lichess okay, or it's still cooked

[severe dock]

personally still cooked tbh. I stopped playing bullet entirely over there

but idk I haven't played over there today

[native musk]

Vro 99% of my diss gifs would get me vaporized here

[signal snow]

💀😂😭😭 I feel you bro, it's so bad

[severe dock]

Never would've thought there would be a time when bullet is better on cc than Lichess

[somber kindle]

Don’t remember asking

[native musk]

Ur blocked

[severe dock]

tbf cc is also trash at bullet lag compensation but surprisingly better than Lichess for me these days

[somber kindle]

When?

[signal snow]

But I somehow managed to retain my 2500 with lag🗿

[severe dock]

chesstempo best

[naive jolt]

Interesting

[marsh sinew]

What's that a site perhaps 🤔

[severe dock]

yes

[novel sundial]

I have returned

[marsh sinew]

What it for?

[native musk]

Wtf @mortal bronze clone

[marsh sinew]

Welcome

[severe dock]

just google it bruh

[oak chasm]

Is it possible to go from 1800 blitz to 2400 in one year 2200 rapid btw

[severe dock]

if u care about it

[uneven elm]

reverse grünfeld seems very nice to play in my opinion

[native musk]

Whys kel duplicating

[novel sundial]

I've been here since 2021 but thank you

[severe dock]

it's just another chess site like cc or lc

[marsh sinew]

Yh

[signal snow]

Impossible, unless you have a world class coach

[marsh sinew]

I'll check it out ,sounds familiar tho

[oak chasm]

Why last year I was 1500 rapid and reached 2200 in 1 year

[novel sundial]

Even with a coach unlikely

[uneven elm]

what is that

[marsh sinew]

I meant to say welcome back😅

[oak chasm]

I will try and we will meet after 1 y deal?

[signal snow]

2400 is different, maybe you are a prodigy idk, if so you can do it

[novel sundial]

Appreciate it sire

[naive jolt]

Its a draw. Imagine I play you in this position. Draw?

[native musk]

Lock in vro

[severe dock]

personally I love their engine annotated analysis. it's the one area where imo it outshines even Lichess. Not gonna compare with cc since the bar is quite low here

[signal snow]

I play the colle system

[native musk]

You're already wasting time

[oak chasm]

I haven't played any irl tournament before but I'm young u 16

[marsh sinew]

U play colle system?

[oak chasm]

I will. U too

[signal snow]

Definitely a prodigy holy smokes

[native musk]

I'm too cooked

[novel sundial]

I mean of course try. We are all trying to increase our ratings. But instead of setting an arbitrary rating goal in a year. Just set a goal to improve as much as possible in a year and see where that lands you. That is more intelligent

[marsh sinew]

I played it too at some point

[small jungle]

@zinc path gg in the arena vro

[novel sundial]

Colle system. London system. Alternate.

[uneven elm]

idk what you want me to do bro

[zinc path]

hey gg, what was ur nickname

[small jungle]

PetrJuza

[zinc path]

the czech guy?

sorry if im mistaken

[signal snow]

If I had a coach I would be 2700 fide fight me

[oak chasm]

I don't think for my mind my goal has to be a number and a deadline so my mind can understand that I really want

[native musk]

1 iq = 10 elo now do the maths

[oak chasm]

U need money for that I don't have a coach

[small jungle]

Ye that was me

[marsh sinew]

Same.I prefer colle zuckertot the colle system

[oak chasm]

I don't think I started playing chess since 2y

[marsh sinew]

Bold

[naive jolt]

Would you accept a draw in this position as black

[signal snow]

2500 online without studying/effort

[novel sundial]

I prefer regular Colle. But Colle zuketort also good. Zuketort more tricky. Standard more solid

[native musk]

Coach people under your elo then use the money to get coaching

Cinema

[oak chasm]

Genius idea

[uneven elm]

Sounds like a trick question

[marsh sinew]

I see

[signal snow]

There is this other guy who is 3000 who plays the zukertort

[oak chasm]

Nf3?

[uneven elm]

If theres no way to lose the game Ill play on, but I cant calculate rn ngl

[novel sundial]

Nice

[severe dock]

1.Nf3 yes

[signal snow]

Finchetto, b3,Bb2

[oak chasm]

Kia?

[signal snow]

Nah some russian dude

[novel sundial]

1Nf3 2 d4 3 Bf4 to pretend you didn't play the London but really did (;

[marsh sinew]

Impressive how many years ? I started in September 2025 I was 500 and I just hit 1400 rn

[uneven elm]

kia is g3 Bg3 d3 Nbd2 and so on

[severe dock]

zukertort is the most flexible choice imo. U can generally transpose later anyway

[oak chasm]

I like the colle system

[signal snow]

Started 2016

[oak chasm]

It is like magic

[naive jolt]

Wow thats quite an improvement

[marsh sinew]

Cool

[naive jolt]

Anyone up for blitz

[oak chasm]

Wow bro has the needed talent

[marsh sinew]

I know I'm surprised myself I'm hoping to get the chess.com most gained elo for this year

[naive jolt]

Good luck!

[oak chasm]

It's really easy to reach 2000

(For u )

[naive jolt]

Eh if no one wants a game ima go smwhere else then so bye

[marsh sinew]

I didn't get last year's for some reason coz I had 800+ and the winner had 600 maybe coz my account was new or something

[novel notch]

🍌 This server has been cursed with a banana! Curse three other servers with a banana to relieve the curse.

[marsh sinew]

Thanks I'll need it

[novel notch]

https://tenor.com/view/f-gif-9118360225465577606

[marsh sinew]

Blitz?

[marsh sinew]

Why is that so?

[oak chasm]

?

[marsh sinew]

😅

[limpid viper]

how would you even know if you got it

[marsh sinew]

I just checked it out ,i will definitely use it 🙏

[orchid sedge]

EXACTLYYY

[marsh sinew]

They posted it on Instagram

[orchid sedge]

btw wtf 2 rooks ans a knight is crazy

damn

[limpid viper]

huh surely people would just make new accounts and gain a ton of elo

[marsh sinew]

I guess so

[severe dock]

300s these days are tuff
2300s... not so much

[marsh sinew]

But they have their ways of catching sandbaggers

[signal snow]

Is there an award or something?

[marsh sinew]

Yh

[signal snow]

Who won in 2025?

[marsh sinew]

Magnus won the chess player of the year ,chess.com awards

[signal snow]

Damn gotta lock in if I am to win it

[marsh sinew]

At 2500 how are you going to do that

[signal snow]

Nevermind chess is my hobby, I'm the goat in something else
