[onyx sand]

who do you think will win ediz gurel vs jorden van foreest

[dense veldt]

what was the point of that even 💀

why do people even troll in discord servers

seems like a big waste of time

[winged dock]

Nerd

[keen grotto]

probably the youngster, but I'm a huge van Foreest fan, so rooting for him!

[onyx sand]

yeah he did really well at tata steel

and jorden is a clear rating favorite

[torn sparrow]

That guy sounded pretty legit with his offer tbh

[winged dock]

No he didn't

[onyx sand]

also is it true hans is replacing van nguyen at the prague masters

[keen grotto]

His appeal message was

I only cheated in chess to 1000 elo and I do not appreciate it. I love cheating in chess and I want other people to cheat in it with me as well.
I already added it to Funniest Appeals 2026.

[onyx sand]

last time I checked on chesscom events it still says van nguyen is playing, so idk

[winged dock]

Let him back it's obviously facetious

[dense veldt]

I wonder what is reasoning is behind this

[reef venture]

YES

HE HASNT EVEN SHIPPED IT YET AFTER 3 DAYS

JUST PRINTED LABEL

[potent veldt]

is there any rule against wearing a fursuit at a chess tournament? asking for a friend 😊

[keen grotto]

Where are you buying these? Usually amazon ships the same day here. Although chess stores in Germany are really good, some are faster than Amazon. If you buy until 15:00 or so, you'll get it the next day.

[keen grotto]

At a regular tournament? You Your friend might be a bit over-dressed :p

Actually some people play in suits or similar outfits. But most just wear a casual shirt or sweater.

[small jungle]

Yes

[potent veldt]

will they suspect i have any vib- i mean uhh a chess engine inside the suit? i mean my friend not me tot not me

[keen grotto]

You will have to pass all the regular Fair Play checks, just like anyone else.

[exotic horizon]

I checkmated somebody with a knight and bishop

[onyx sand]

who do you think will win the tournament

[potent veldt]

that is fair

[woeful ember]

You should’ve said yes and send the bot to chess.com staff

[keen grotto]

The rook also did some work there! 😉
Cool mate! 👏

[exotic horizon]

He went with early queen attack

[keen grotto]

if you get chess.com account names of these people, feeel free to DM them to me.

[exotic horizon]

So i made him taste their own medicine

[small jungle]

Gukesh or keymer probably

[torn sparrow]

That's risky also I expected them to mute him tbh not lock out

[small jungle]

Probably keymer since gukesh is kinda tilted rn

[onyx sand]

gukesh didn't do that well at tatasteel tho

[small jungle]

I didn't see nodirbek there

Either keymer or nodirberk then

[indigo stream]

vro still lost after all the advantage

[onyx sand]

so you just picked the rating favorites lol

[small jungle]

I mean keymer is in good shape rn

Nodirberk the same

[dull dove]

700 elo game dud

[small jungle]

I'd bet on keymer probably

[onyx sand]

aravindh won the tournament last time

[small jungle]

Idk who played there last time

[indigo stream]

we are in the same level

[onyx sand]

there was pragg

[exotic horizon]

And i beat a 500 player who went with early queen attack

[onyx sand]

i think last time it was just a bunch of 2600s and aravindh and pragg

[small jungle]

Idk much about aravidh tbh

[dull dove]

When are we playing

[onyx sand]

he got to top 10 in the world and seems to have fell off since

[small jungle]

Might go there irl to watch some of the games

[indigo stream]

said he is 700 like if i am 2000

[keen grotto]

Gukesh vs Blübaum would be
Indian #3 vs German #2

Crazy times we live in. I'd love to see a couple more rating spots in the Candidates.

[onyx sand]

are you in the area

[gritty wave]

The bullet tilt is immaculate

[keen grotto]

What's your favorite venue to play chess in? I sure love hotels or convention centers.

My least favorite is some cellar or school where I'm cramped.
Gymnasiums have plenty of space but sometimes it's a bit chaotic.

Tournaments seem fun but isnt classical like 1-2 weeks

[torn sparrow]

Is this grenke

[keen grotto]

No, 1-2 weeks is for the professionals. Most amateur tournaments are Friday-Sunday.

[keen grotto]

Nope, that's DSAM Bonn. Grenke is way larger. One moment, let me find some Grenke pictures.

[wicked kettle]

Thanks

How can I do this helper in game

[hushed trellis]

[cosmic prawn]

[hushed trellis]

Oh dang.

[empty fulcrum]

1 in 30 rapid games probably

[hushed trellis]

You should lowkey play me. I could use a warmup.

[empty fulcrum]

Whats your elo

[hushed trellis]

Don't worry about that. It's just a fun little game.

[empty fulcrum]

Im going to bed now anyway

It says you are 300?

[hushed trellis]

Uh no.

I'm not that high regardless but I am not at 300.

[hollow steppe]

he's probably insecure 🙏

[hushed trellis]

Bro no I'm fr not 300. 💔

[hollow steppe]

talking bout some warmup

💀

[hushed trellis]

I thought it was clearly a joke.

[hollow steppe]

"im Timmy tuff knuckles with a mysterious elo"

[hushed trellis]

Did someone have a bad day? It was a joke man.

[hollow steppe]

anyways, whats your guy's favorite opening on white side

[empty fulcrum]

Ikr, what is the point in a 2300 playing a 300

[hollow steppe]

I really like the Retí opening usually followed by the Retí gambit

[hushed trellis]

I'm not 300.

[hollow steppe]

400?

[empty fulcrum]

What are you then

[hushed trellis]

Idk where you got that number from.

[hollow steppe]

600

I went from 400 to 1000 in 2 months 🙏

[patent night]

Hi

[empty fulcrum]

Are you above or below 2000?

[hushed trellis]

Below.

[empty fulcrum]

So whats the point

[hushed trellis]

Man you said you were going to bed anyway can you at least humor me? 🙏

[empty fulcrum]

Ok

[hushed trellis]

Thanks.

I'll dm you.

[hollow steppe]

quick moment of appreciation for this notation

your bird jeets lads for a fiver at cov uni

was part of the most beautiful sequence of my life

[severe dock]

now try saying the same but use the n-word instead of jeet

I dare u

not so comfortable now, are you?

[wild stirrup]

???

[wild stirrup]

do you know the definiton of jeet

[severe dock]

perhaps not in this context

[wild stirrup]

i may not have seen it all at first but nonetheless sensational

[severe dock]

it's a good excuse if anything

[wild stirrup]

are you a brit

[severe dock]

no

[wild stirrup]

since when did jeet become international

[severe dock]

the more well known usage of it is a racial slur these days

in case you didn't know

[wild stirrup]

its an unfortunately popularised foreign slang term thats incredibly common here

[wild stirrup]

??? to jeet someone means to sleep w them

[severe dock]

what

[wild stirrup]

thats what it means lad

[severe dock]

good to know, thanks. I've never read that word being used with this meaning before

[wild stirrup]

thats the ONLY way its ever been used in all my years of existence lmao

[reef venture]

ebay for cheapest price 120

[wild stirrup]

for reference 'bird' means girl, fiver is £5, and cov (coventry) uni is basically our ASU but worse

i have never seen a brit use this

[wild stirrup]

usually its all the jamaicans and literally every other nationality in britain other than natives who say it

idk never seen it only time i've heard it used was some guy who wasn't even british

hi guyss

what is the fastest way to develop peices?

[wispy orbit]

Hi

[keen holly]

@small jungle yo, do you find anish giris najdorf course drawish? im considering getting it when it goes on discount but the reviews on chessable seem sus

[wild stirrup]

the english is the best opening i swear

[wild stirrup]

well yeah infinite ammo

[ruby orchid]

bruh

[limpid sleet]

YYoo Anyone indian here?

[wild stirrup]

who cares about overheating righttttt

[wild stirrup]

move them idk

[ruby orchid]

i think the more important point is that theres a googolplex

[lusty flame]

it depends on your preferred opening. I would always recommend developing knights before bishops which rules out things like the italian game. I use the Réti most of the time as white and that begins with Nf3 so it's good for fast development. just make sure your first 6 moves ideally move a different piece every time and they only consist of centre pawns, knights and bishops

[wild stirrup]

infinity>googolplex

[ruby orchid]

there are many more constraints on the infinity than there are on the googolplex

[fair oak]

Tournament for people who think they are the worse (You are not) https://www.chess.com/play/arena/4718739
I'll be waiting 🙂

[wild stirrup]

play the english, such a solid opening even at 1700

[twin stratus]

thx

[lusty flame]

np! x

[wild stirrup]

the only issues relate to overheating and jamming in that scenario

[ruby orchid]

the fact that you're gonna be surrounded from every direction is a bigger problem

[nimble arch]

Not the fastest but its good

[ruby orchid]

you wil literally have cavalry falling on top of you from the sky

are my polish opening and modern defense setups good

[quasi nova]

Why are you playing the polish vro

[pastel yew]

its underrated

also experimentation

[foggy arch]

Let him play and enjoy na

[limpid hollow]

which channel do i use if i want to ask why a move is brilliant

[slim hawk]

LF 15/10 Rapid practice 600 elo~~

[limpid hollow]

because i cant post images here

[slim hawk]

puzzle channel i imagine

or maybe ask an expert?

[foggy arch]

Ask

[slim hawk]

just guessing

[foggy arch]

What

[limpid hollow]

what lvl do you have to be for image perms

[pastel yew]

beside the fact that I played the polish is it a good setup

Use the /connect command

Move List

1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 Nf6 3. e3 Bxg4 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. O-O e5 6. c4 dxc4 7. Qa4 Be6 8. Nxe5 Bd6 9. Nxc6 bxc6 10. Qxc6+ Bd7 11. Qxc4 O-O 12. Bxa8 

[limpid hollow]

i lost my rook and resigned but apparently it was a brilliant

after looking at the position 10 times i have no idea what could possibly be brilliant about it

[twin stratus]

maybe it couldve been a forced draw after that

or a forced mate

[limpid hollow]

its move 12 bruh

also the position is pretty typical

[slim hawk]

I am bad so wouldnt be able to help massively but will say dont spend too much time trying to figure out brilliant moves if youre low elo, theyre impossible to break down and mean anything real for future games, although interesting

[limpid hollow]

also i did check the follow up in the game review. but it didn't tell me anything useful since white in the review doesnt even take the rook

[limpid hollow]

yeah tru

but im at the level where i can usually tell why brilliant moves are brilliant and this one just looks stupid to me

[loud wadi]

Hey everyone

[limpid hollow]

so i had to be curious

[slim hawk]

(that is said as a 600 elo player who has seen a fair few other the last few weeks, super fun to figure out but impossible to consider helpful haha"

[chrome latch]

this one is pretty hard to play with the right idea in mind, but after Bxa8 you can go Ng4 and basically try to checkmate white

Rb8 is probably a better move anyway though and a lot more human

[limpid hollow]

thats what i thought but i couldnt find any mating pattern that white couldn't easily defend

[fossil patrol]

Does anyone know how to allow takebacks trying to teach friend how to play

[twin stratus]

hi

[twin stratus]

you cant

just play with the analaysis board with him i guess

[slim hawk]

you can on the platform which cant be named - lichess

[fossil patrol]

Does that allow takebacks?(new to site lol)

[twin stratus]

whats lichess

[chrome latch]

what lines did you look at? It's not forced checkmate so there's definitely a way white can defend, but the engine's point is that the defense isn't enough to give white a decent position even if they play perfectly

[slim hawk]

same thing different website

[loud wadi]

Probably because of Ng4

[twin stratus]

bruh friggin copy and paster

[fossil patrol]

Thanks for the options ❤️

[limpid hollow]

doesn't white just block the bishop with the f pawn

[twin stratus]

guys should i castle early game....im super worried about this cuz half of the opponenets that do that to me are lost

[limpid hollow]

and then the attack looks dead to me

[loud wadi]

Yes but there's probably other moves

[chrome latch]

Qh4 looks great there

[loud wadi]

If f4, Qh4

[loud wadi]

Yeah

[twin stratus]

look at this 14 move checkmate cuz he castled

[limpid hollow]

is Qh4 not also easily defendable with white's queen

[loud wadi]

Mate on H2

[chrome latch]

you should castle early because your king is generally safer when tucked away, but you still need to prioritize king safety at all times

[limpid hollow]

but white can defend it

[chrome latch]

Not if Qe2 is played

[limpid hollow]

with the queen is what i meant

[chrome latch]

At that point I would just take back the bishop on a8

[twin stratus]

...so i should make a small escape route after i castle?

[chrome latch]

You're down some material but your attack puts a lot of pressure on white's position. again, this already isn't the most human way of playing at all, so I'm not suggesting a person needs to see all of this

[loud wadi]

Then you can sack no?

[chrome latch]

This is called "luft" in chess. It's not a bad idea to make that kind of move at some point so you avoid backrank checkmate issues, but it's usually not a priority if there's other pieces to develop for example

sack what?

[twin stratus]

ok thxxx

[loud wadi]

Yeah no nvm

But what are the chances a 600 will play Qe2?

[indigo bobcat]

what are yall talking abt???

[limpid hollow]

you mean white?

[loud wadi]

Yes

[loud wadi]

@indigo bobcat

[limpid hollow]

there's no other moves in that position

if u dont play Qe2 ur gonna get mated

[loud wadi]

My brother in christ, I've seen alot of people miss obvious moves, you play your attack and see if it succeeds

Never resign in chess

[chrome latch]

This argument isn't usually sound because the moment you start thinking in probabilities is the moment you stop looking at the board objectively

[limpid hollow]

I resign 90% of the time if im down 6 or more points

I'd rather play a meaningful game than just sit around hoping my opponent is even dumber than me

[small jungle]

Generally yes

[limpid hollow]

also I think at 600 literally 99 percent of players will see Qe2

[pseudo bolt]

wait until the end since some can blunder easily when they get too excited

[limpid hollow]

you typically dont just ignore mate in 1 unless ur below 300

[slim hawk]

https://www.chess.com/game/164612546044

A strangely longer than usual game for my elo, very tough!

[indigo bobcat]

If ur opponent is low on time he might just blunders or stalemates

[limpid hollow]

yeah i only play on if my opponent is slow af

like if i have a whole minute on them

in 5 min blitz i mean

[indigo bobcat]

oh

[quaint totem]

Happens in rapid too

If your opponent is a bit overconfident they will just blunder

[limpid hollow]

yeah i was just saying that being down 1 minute is only a big disadvantage in blitz

[normal mason]

https://www.chess.com/analysis/collection/my-games-2tsfHqn9k/3Ffs8y25R8/analysis?move=0

nice win vs. QGA in classical

[slim hawk]

Yeah I dont resign unless super obviouis in 10 or 15/10 - 600 elo we all through our leads

[torn sparrow]

Bro doing secret ecf farms 🥶

[potent gulch]

Crazy

[normal mason]

yessir

[potent gulch]

[potent gulch]

Damn 🥺

[normal mason]

next league game is april though i might have to visit my other club

are u playing any league games vro @torn sparrow

[indigo bobcat]

what is best openning at 1200?

[torn sparrow]

I do but there is no NM title so I just do it for the aura

[normal mason]

so real

[torn sparrow]

Some tournaments need national rating ig

[normal mason]

i mean when i was in germany looks like they care a lot about dwz

[torn sparrow]

I mean if my fide was low I could use it to join high level tournaments which are fide rated

[normal mason]

whats ur dwz now

[torn sparrow]

Its like 1500 vro

But my fide is 1800+ so idc about it

[normal mason]

fair

[torn sparrow]

Bro in league games I get 1400 dwzs which know 17 moves of theory smth

[normal mason]

thats unfortunate

[torn sparrow]

He didn't know the 18th move though and gave me +1 advantage bro

[normal mason]

i dont think ive ever had someone know like any kind of theory in these league games lol

[torn sparrow]

Probably because you don't play ruy Lopez

[normal mason]

i guess there are no kids

[normal mason]

understandable lol

[torn sparrow]

Slav has too many variations for long theory in lower levels

[normal mason]

e4 sounds like so much fun

but im doing way too well to be bothered to learn e4

[torn sparrow]

😭 it's not tbh

[digital relic]

Guys I just started. How can I get better?

[normal mason]

i mean like playing vs najdorf as white wow must be some good stuff

but also i like winning

ive checked my games my last 18 classical games with d4 i am on 15 wins 2 draws and 1 loss

that is insane

and the 1 loss is against an IM

[quasi nova]

On lichess im seeing d4 a majority of the time, whilst on Chess.com I'm seeing e4 a majority of time

[quasi nova]

That's peak ngl

[pastel yew]

play

[burnt whale]

[pastel yew]

that one time I got destroyed by the polish opening was on lichess lol

[floral trellis]

[quasi nova]

Vro I gotta wait till March for the candidates 😔

I'm gonna lose my marbles if my phone corrects for to got 1 more time

[twin stratus]

im in 400s and wanna learn how to do a different attack

[quasi nova]

Ill be playing in the championship division so I can get notation sheets of actually good players and not 5 year olds

[quasi nova]

Ehh not too bad

[glass tartan]

i always hated notating a chess game, it messe dup my concentration

[torn sparrow]

How many moves do you have there in 1 notation sheet

[twin stratus]

why does it always pair me up with champion leagues and not silver leagues like myself

[glass tartan]

who has time to write your chess moves down on paper?

[torn sparrow]

You are forced too in otb chess

[glass tartan]

exactly

[foggy arch]

Wassup

[glass tartan]

just kills my concentration

[foggy arch]

Chess does

[torn sparrow]

Bro just making up excuses you are under 500

[quasi nova]

The ones I see the most are 40 move on each side with 2 rows

[foggy arch]

Leave him

[torn sparrow]

I doubt the effects of writing notation are the decline of your chess

[quasi nova]

So 80 moves per sheet

[glass tartan]

uhm.. dont they have computers today that can record your moves in OTB?

[torn sparrow]

Weak bro we have 60

[glass tartan]

why does a player have to do that still?

[foggy arch]

What tf

[glass tartan]

its 2025

[torn sparrow]

1. Costs too much 2. Tradition

[foggy arch]

Bruh

[glass tartan]

2026

[torn sparrow]

Chess world is poor af

[foggy arch]

Chess players too

[quasi nova]

If we run out of space we just grab another score sheet lmao

[glass tartan]

i wont write my moves on paper, every

in OTB

[torn sparrow]

Is this alien technology 😭

[quasi nova]

Why won't you vro

[foggy arch]

Don't play otb then

[torn sparrow]

We do the same vro

[glass tartan]

just cant believe in 2026 with AI plauers have to worry about taking down dictation

o stupid

[balmy python]

[glass tartan]

so stupid

[foggy arch]

It so fkin down syndrome of ppl who can't write down the moves ah

[glass tartan]

after move 40 or so, i dont write the notations right, because im to stressed out

[signal snow]

And he sacrifices the ROOOOOOOK!!!!

[glass tartan]

so why bother to write it in the first place?

[foggy arch]

Great

[signal snow]

Thanks 🗿

[red prairie]

hey if anybody want to join the vc and talk w/ me and play some chess

[glass tartan]

chess needs to get rid of chess notation by players in a turney

[foggy arch]

Dm me leta do after a month

[glass tartan]

let the computer do it

[foggy arch]

No one cares ...plzz pack it up

[glass tartan]

sometimes the bot i play seems to get mad at me, so weird

[quasi nova]

Idk why we don't just get longer scoresheets

[torn sparrow]

Do you have a space for opening variation

[quasi nova]

Nah vro we have Name of each player, What the tournament is called, date, elos and anything else is written in the empty spaces

[torn sparrow]

We don't have elos

[lucid ingot]

[nocturne grove]

Yes it was

[nimble arch]

thankfully rating diff carries

[nocturne grove]

I developed the king

[old arch]

Because you’re a bunch of goofy goobers I think my best bet is to genuinely just suffer through learning the terms myself

[nimble arch]

wasnt talking abt ur game

[nocturne grove]

Well u should look at it it’s very amazing and grandmaster level

[hearty heron]

@torn sparrow good start?

[torn sparrow]

i wouldnt try going into it hoping ur opponent falls for it

[leaden star]

yh, dont play 'Hope Chess' like me

[patent patrol]

game ended with her blundering back and then flagging here

literally 0 to brag about in the game but its neat

[leaden star]

I feel like quitting tournament Chess, thoughts?

[hearty heron]

Bruh blitz pool dead

[nimble arch]

ok fine

[mortal bronze]

that's how you beat titled players

[shadow needle]

Why am I plateaued at 300 elo

Loke

Ive been playing for a month

[mortal bronze]

if a titled player is playing at our level it's probably because they are slow af

[eternal temple]

If something hasn't changed in a months time why not consider changing the way you play

[nimble arch]

this is disapointing

[shadow needle]

I have

[foggy arch]

That's shameful ... shouldn't have done to a woman

[eternal temple]

Elo>chivalry

[nimble arch]

kinda how low rated titled players work

[trail vortex]

how good is caro/slav/london repritoire

[mortal bronze]

bad mid bad

[trail vortex]

u can't be calling caro bad gng

[hearty heron]

Peak mid midder

[eternal temple]

Nice pfp change

[hearty heron]

Caro is the best opening to exist

[plain solar]

london? I'm out 1.3sec

[plain solar]

e5 exist vro

[hearty heron]

Hell nah

[nimble arch]

opinions exist too

[trail vortex]

so does c5 doesnt mean it should be played

[eternal temple]

Modern caro so much better

[mortal bronze]

you play caro?

[mortal bronze]

you too

[eternal temple]

Advance caro is a slippery slope into french territory

[mortal bronze]

what's modern caro

[trail vortex]

I love the solidity, and then I just beat my opponents by letting them destroy their own structure

[eternal temple]

E4 c6 d4 d5 nd2

[mortal bronze]

against caro i just play normal moves till my opponent blunders something because caro are players are bad

[trail vortex]

atleast the bishop is out, and c5 can wait a bit in caro until later

[eternal temple]

Usually dxe4 nxe4 bf5 Is played

[mortal bronze]

kel variation!!

[trail vortex]

you should play Karpov

[mortal bronze]

oh wait nvm

[mortal bronze]

i would beat him if he plays caro against me

[plain solar]

Day 3 of Dutch detox: I tried to stay clean, I really did. But when White played the London System, my discipline shattered. My hand bypassed the solid ...g7 and instinctively fianchettoed. Before I knew it, I was deep in a King’s Indian setup, unleashing a storm on the center. I didn’t just win; I crushed a 1600+ opponent with pure, dynamic aggression. The rush is back. The "boring" safety of classical chess feels like a cage now. I thought I could quit the chaos, but after this victory, the dark side of hypermodern chess has never looked so beautiful.

God helps me for not playing the Leningard Dutch 🙏

[eternal temple]

Dutch seems too unsound for my taste

[plain solar]

Dutch mentioned 🗣️ 🔥

[trail vortex]

idk what u on but I love hypermodern setups, but its very tricky especially as rating increases

[plain solar]

mb

i forgot i'm in Dutch Detox

[eternal temple]

Seen many fall victim to full screen bishop tactics in hypermodern openings with fianchettoed bishop

[trail vortex]

what is full screen bishop tactics

[eternal temple]

Usually when you push a pawn discovering an attack on another peice while the pawn you pushed is attacking another

[plain solar]

this

oh mb, i did the Leningard Set-up again

i'm so sorry, it was muscle memory

[patent patrol]

ive gotten paired w a lot of titled players on lichess

[eternal temple]

Theme gives me brain cancer

[trail vortex]

is that dutch

[patent patrol]

ive beat an fm

[trail vortex]

you're ready for carlsen

[patent patrol]

probably

[trail vortex]

bro what 💀

[patent patrol]

there are just like varying titles floating around the lichess pool i assume cuz the higher rating lower player distribution

I just played blitz after yesterday's stinker

oh no, my addiction is getting stronker and stronker

[trail vortex]

you can play hyperbullet 10 sec each

[foggy arch]

Great

[plain solar]

why trying not to play Le Dutch so hard 😭

[hushed trellis]

You and me should duke it out.

[trail vortex]

bro who are u

and why are u spamming dutch quotes

Why are you speaking in redditanese

[hearty heron]

Hell nah

[trail vortex]

5 sec each me vs u

[eternal temple]

Typa shit tactic would play

[trail vortex]

ur 3100 bullet u should be able to beat a 1300 bullet in 5 sec each

[eternal temple]

Man tactic be mad shakey when he play it looks almost worrisome

[hearty heron]

Tactic without 10second is buns ac even he admits it

[trail vortex]

who tf is tactic

@old lantern

[sleek grove]

[eternal temple]

3400 bullet peak is pretty cool

[trail vortex]

why is everyone bulletmaxxing

[eternal temple]

(He lowk just spammed 10s)

[trail vortex]

Playing rapid blitz and classical is the way

[eternal temple]

Hes not bad at all tho ive seen him play like 40 moves against a hard core cheater

[trail vortex]

I could prolly do that with the london

[eternal temple]

I survived 35 moves with the pianissimo against sf18, just clogged the toilet and played sound moves until I got punished with some light squared weakness and had to sac a peice for a passed pawn

[balmy python]

i played scandi against a cheater once and got mated in like 15 moves

he played a crazy exchange sac ill have to try finding the game

[foggy raptor]

Can albert find lichest games?

[trail vortex]

I think I did sm like that with Hippo

[eternal temple]

Ngl i made a dumb mistake near the end and thats what really cost me, I misplayed a move order and got cheesed immediately

[trail vortex]

peak opening ngl

hyper-hypermodern

[eternal temple]

Ive seen some people either win greatly or get done the worst way in this opening

[trail vortex]

I've won with it more than lost

I recently won 4 times in a row with this opening

[eternal temple]

Move orders pretty important too in some cases, some poor dude left a big whole on d6 and got cheesed like 12 moves later

[trail vortex]

yea especially in like 150 atttack setups or austrian attack setups its harder

the thing is alot of people play against Hippo with a two pawn center which is a mistake

[eternal temple]

(Specifically referencing a game danya [rip] played against a 1700 in an older speedrun)

[hearty heron]

Its fun bruv

[plain solar]

My life after giving up the Dutch might be worse than Epstein

[eternal temple]

Dopamine junkies

Quick wins = happy, but continuous losses will make one very angry in exchange

[trail vortex]

reverse schlechter slav

[eternal temple]

This looks horrible for black

[trail vortex]

its custom piece putting

[eternal temple]

Ahhh

[south gyro]

How can I get pic perms ?

I wanna show y'all something

[trail vortex]

type /connect

[eternal temple]

I was finna say it looked like white was handed 7 extra tempi

[trail vortex]

I was looking for the most solid setups, thats when I made this and realized it resembles schlechter slav

[unique veldt]

yo chat I beat a 1900

[trail vortex]

but overall, i think that london is still more solid than this

objectively

[eternal temple]

Sickkkk

[trail vortex]

because I think the fianchetto part gives black a hook compared to the london

[south gyro]

I connected my chess.com account with discord

But still can't use pic perms 😭

[trail vortex]

i think u have to chat on 5 different days or sm

[south gyro]

I see

Wait lemme dm you

Can you share the image here it's crazyyyy

[trail vortex]

and then the solidity of london ensures if black tries too hard, their structure could break or if played nicely by white, black gets a draw

most players in modern times play for win with black compared to the past where "draw by black" was seen as a victory for many

that modern black going for win or trying to take initiative against london is what makes london a lethal weapon

[south gyro]

@trail vortex check the dm dude

[trail vortex]

@south gyro

[south gyro]

I could've done check mate a lot of times but I chose not to check mate him and promoted all my pawns to queens

And then time went up and it ended in a draw

I just started playing chess 😭 a week ago

[frosty cradle]

man i think i might be actually stupid

[trail vortex]

everyone who plays chess thinks that

[frosty cradle]

idk why the players i get on lichess are just like so much worse or what idk

[trail vortex]

I've felt that too

[frosty cradle]

but chesscom its just the exact opposite, like everyones seeing better moves

[trail vortex]

I could play bongcloud at lichess and not worry

[south gyro]

I'm gonna go on lichess and keep spamming scholar's mate 🤣

[old lantern]

bro what

[frosty cradle]

~900 lichess, ~450 chesscom feels bad, i know im new but damn i feel cognitively impaired

[buoyant spear]

700 left till 2000

[young swan]

^^ openings don't matter lowk. you can play universal systems and it'll be fine.

[frosty cradle]

literally same thing here 12 win streak on lichess, start playing chesscom because rememberi have account there, and 6 losses over two days :(

[foggy arch]

Umm I didn't learn any openings properly brother ..what I focused is the mistakes I were making and positional understanding!!

[left wagon]

true

[fleet dove]

sure you were bro

[young swan]

point is. as long as you are applying the blunder checks you'll be fine. @left wagon this is if you are willing to listen to a humble 2200's advice 🥀

If you're rusted, that means youre made of metal, and people aren't made of metal.

the Polish is a KILLER opening

same love the vienna but cant really win in the Max lange defence

[young swan]

It works universally against anything

I’m Polish myself dude

[young swan]

the surprise factor exists too

Bruh I don't have to prove anything I know I am 2300

oh that's nice to know, shoutout to Poland for creating the opening

Hmm

[fierce relic]

Ms. Jones
Ms. Murphy
Ms. Forte
Ms. Henry
Mr. Roach

[buoyant spear]

Do puzzles so you can understand basic pattern recognition, then choose two openings to study and stick with them for a while

[young swan]

Mr Roach

[small jungle]

Learn najdorf and grunfeld

[young swan]

istg if I become a GM I am patenting the Polish

[buoyant spear]

What’s your FIDE rating

[young swan]

ion got FIDE. I'm pushing USCF rn, trying NM first.

only recently I started pushing my OTB rating. currently 1720

[plain solar]

shout out to Netherland for creating the Dutch 🗣️ 🔥

[buoyant spear]

You should get FIDE rating since it’s international

[trail vortex]

control center, develop knights, bishops, castle, connect rooks, now opening is done, now middlegame, idk by this time they should have blundered, try super hard to see if there is any piece whicj you can just take, and then try your best in not losing pieces

[young swan]

ik. not many tournaments near me tho

[fierce relic]

I'm probably the best 200 ELO player. Ive gotten 2 brilliant.

[solar lichen]

anyone wna run sme blitz games

[fierce relic]

In the 3rd grade I went through a depressive phase where I really understood the world. The school system was corrupt, I knew how baby's were made, I was often bullied for being fat, and I realized that you don't get to relax forever after school. I realized that the world was naturally evil and I will forever be a statistic and slave to the government. This was an important part of my character development, because then I learned how to cope and focus on other things.

[solar lichen]

3rd grade is crazy

[fierce relic]

Anyways anyone wanna challenge me

[solar lichen]

sure

whats ur rrating
