chess.com is fookin disgusting company when showin post game overview, only highlitinng ok+ moves and not indicating player made bad moves

[dire apex]

Develop your minor pieces and castle

[signal snow]

okay

[dire apex]

Control the center

[empty fulcrum]

hello

[dire apex]

Rooks on 7th

Etc

[signal snow]

Noted

[empty fulcrum]

@dire apex you are being trolled bro

[trail vortex]

bro gaslighting

[frozen dew]

Dw abt it I'll set it up when ur back

[dire apex]

I was answering a question but ok

[signal snow]

Nah I'm not trolling, I genuinely want to know how to reach 1000 elo

[trail vortex]

lose about 1400-1600 elo

[maiden crescent]

does anyone sells an chessup in eu ?

[signal snow]

That doesn't make sense

[trail vortex]

2400 - 1400 = 1000

[signal snow]

Like I need , fundamentals and stuff

[empty fulcrum]

@signal snow you trying to learn how to become a coach?

[dire apex]

Type "/profile" to get to 1k elo instantly

[trail vortex]

play sicilian najdorf against engines

[signal snow]

I'm just trying to understand the game from a different perspective

[cold salmon]

idk if worse but as bad is losing connection

[proven wave]

Lot of things
But yah. That is one of the things I feel very bad for

[signal snow]

Because imagine I ask how to get to 3000, I won't get any good answers tbh

[empty fulcrum]

most basic advice to get up to 2000 imo is just put all your attention into keeping all your pieces safe

[fleet summit]

Hello

[frozen dew]

I second this, mouseslip is ur fault connection is not 😭

[trail vortex]

bro what are you gonna do with "control the center" type info

[tame sun]

js smoked someone with a reti trap

[signal snow]

It's helpful tbh since I never take such things into consideration when I make moves

[dire apex]

There is a 3k player in this server go ask them

[slim hawk]

im busy

[signal snow]

They never give proper answers, it's always bs

[devout spruce]

Don't you dare

[cold salmon]

ehh i mean you can't really blame anyone for mouseslipping though it just happens not very different from internet connections you just can't avoid it just like losing connections sometimes

[charred cairn]

i am strong 1500 though

[indigo stream]

wrong , go for checkmate fk the pieces ,

[charred cairn]

most 1500 are new and go down in rating but im consistent so

[trail vortex]

Caro kann, Slav, and London, it builds alot of experience in similar structures faster and you learn getting better at endgames more and resulting middlegames more

[void acorn]

What is your ranting???

You is very good

[devout spruce]

@void acorn 2467 is my peak

[signal snow]

Thanks

[charred cairn]

either way this game is kinda pointless cause it adds no signficant benefit in life instead for superficial happiness

[empty fulcrum]

i promise you that playing safe will increase your elo much quicker than playing with this mindset

[void acorn]

I is 955

[indigo stream]

its more fun tho

[signal snow]

For me personally chess is everything to me

[devout spruce]

@void acorn i messed up and did not check mate you that why u won lol

[void acorn]

I see this

[dire apex]

Looks like that one position from that one famous game

[devout spruce]

I was like 2 moves away and I messed up lol

[indigo stream]

its me

[void acorn]

@indigo stream what is you raiting?

[slim hawk]

LF couple practice games 400-800 elo chads - open to VC - rapids

[dire apex]

Look up immortal game

[devout spruce]

[void acorn]

Realy

[indigo stream]

tal and fischer ?

[devout spruce]

[signal snow]

Fair enough, but that doesn't say much

[cold salmon]

let me see

[dire apex]

Who won

[empty fulcrum]

beads inserted in your rear also helps you to play like a 3000

[deft sedge]

i guess he offered me a draw and i didnt accept

[signal snow]

Did you quit chess?

[empty fulcrum]

no, why?

[signal snow]

Why is your blitz and bullet so low?

[dire apex]

What happened in blitz

[empty fulcrum]

i dont play either of them

rapid is the only one i have ever really taken seriously

[signal snow]

Every top chess player is good ant blitz and bullet

[frozen dew]

Why's bro so mad what have u done to him 😭

[void acorn]

What is your favorite mate?

[empty fulcrum]

yeah i could get good at them if i played them, but i prefer rapid

[frozen dew]

Tree

[proven wave]

I think this year I will reach 1800 again!

[signal snow]

How are you ever going to be 2700+ fide with only rapid?

[frozen dew]

Hit 2000 it's not that hard in 9 months

[empty fulcrum]

wtf

2700 fide is a very good grandmaster

[proven wave]

Not possible for everyone 😅.
Especially in 9 month

[frozen dew]

What's the correlation and who said 2700 fide 😭

[empty fulcrum]

only probably 50 people above 2700 in the world lol

[empty fulcrum]

exactly

[signal snow]

So isn't that what everyone is aspiring to be?

[empty fulcrum]

of course but i am realistic

[frozen dew]

Possible for u trust
I got from 900 to 2000 in a year

[signal snow]

I'm going to be 2700+ fide

[dire apex]

Lol he only has 30 fide games and hasn't played in years

[void acorn]

Thank for the oxygem

[dire apex]

Crazy peaksitting

[frozen dew]

If u have no life it's possible
Gl tho

[empty fulcrum]

my goal is the CM title then i am happy

[signal snow]

No life? What does that even mean lol, thanks anyway

[dire apex]

Just an insult

[proven wave]

It also depends on your -
environment
Mental health
Works
Mood
Ect ..
I don't think so. But it is possible for me to reach 1800 if I got lucky

[signal snow]

I guess

[dense cliff]

[frozen dew]

You won't be the goat Kasparov is there

[small jungle]

[signal snow]

I'm going to reach 2900 fide

[naive jolt]

I did that against a gm.

[empty fulcrum]

idk if i am at 2100 fide yet, i have little classical experience, so rn i am probably around 2000-2050 strength

[void acorn]

[frozen dew]

I was white

[dire apex]

Thats even worse

[frozen dew]

Okay my brain lagged

[empty fulcrum]

bro. you have to eliminate 2 pawns to secure draw

[trail vortex]

just like how it lags in the game

[frozen dew]

That's why I'm still frustrated

[empty fulcrum]

get your king to c8, the c pawn is stopped forever. then you have a knight and 3 pawns to eliminate only the g pawn

[frozen dew]

I could've saced the knight for the pawn but i wanted to keep the match going i may get winning chances
It was a time scramble tho

I won against this gm before btw

[empty fulcrum]

you have to be very careful with time scrambles like this

[frozen dew]

Fr

[empty fulcrum]

frequently wise to just take the draw

[frozen dew]

Yup idk i messed up

[signal snow]

Okay time to train again

[empty fulcrum]

how you train bro

[frozen dew]

Have fun

[signal snow]

It's a secret

[pastel yew]

Thanks bro

@empty fulcrum Sorry bro wish I could tell you

[naive jolt]

Mine was worse. Deadest draw. Pawn up actually no passed pawns either side similar pawn structure

And rook knight both sides

[trail vortex]

yes, I do it all the time

[half prairie]

I heard it has an 87% win rate

[empty fulcrum]

@half prairie you dont like the usa?

[half prairie]

whats wrong w the usa

[void acorn]

This is very agressive

[verbal lintel]

I love y'all

[dire apex]

Would you play en passant even if it meant losing the game?

Someone play siciliana dragon?

(Some of y'all)

[empty fulcrum]

no

No

how is this en passent thing even funny

[half prairie]

Yes 🥐

[verbal lintel]

And Acorn

[empty fulcrum]

its so childish saying its forced

[harsh sky]

it isnt

its just funny if your elo is 3 digit

[empty fulcrum]

yeah

[trail vortex]

its a meme lil bro

[empty fulcrum]

you learn en passent after every other rule

[dire apex]

Casual elosim

[void acorn]

I never play this

[harsh sky]

just like "i never lost to magnus"

[empty fulcrum]

its not like its a super rare or special move or anything

[harsh sky]

but am i wrong

[dire apex]

no

[frozen dew]

Rip but at least u reached that position wp

[trail vortex]

ur that opening against sicilian, rossolimo

[harsh sky]

theres a reason i wouldnt trust you on openings

[empty fulcrum]

@harsh sky any general chess principles that are underrated?

[trail vortex]

my opening knowledge is elite

[harsh sky]

principles

[void acorn]

Someone play caro kan?

[dire apex]

When I was brand new and low elo someone reported me for playing en passant

[harsh sky]

idk man i dont follow many principles

[grizzled schooner]

...

[trail vortex]

to take is a mistake

[grizzled schooner]

i play alien gambit

[whole crag]

Fr?

[harsh sky]

lowk true

[empty fulcrum]

or just tips that arent talked about much

[harsh sky]

hovering

[empty fulcrum]

?

[harsh sky]

moves

[empty fulcrum]

keeping position tense?

[harsh sky]

even if its just 0.5s per move

no you hover the move

youre likely gonna play a move, but cant premove

[void acorn]

Do you make pre moves?

[empty fulcrum]

like hint to your opponent at an attack?

[harsh sky]

brother

do you not know what hovering is

[trail vortex]

bro what is this chat

[empty fulcrum]

oh you mean hold your piece over the square

[harsh sky]

yes

[empty fulcrum]

everyone does that

[harsh sky]

no

[empty fulcrum]

i mean like chess tips

[harsh sky]

somehow not

[empty fulcrum]

[harsh sky]

what kind of serious advice do you expect from me

we arent that far apart in elo

[empty fulcrum]

london system, caro kann, classical dutch

[empty fulcrum]

you are better i think though

[harsh sky]

yes but

[trail vortex]

maybe try slav against d4, similar structure to london and caro

[harsh sky]

not that much that i can actually give you advice

[empty fulcrum]

but they can avoid slav i think

[harsh sky]

all my chess is based on intuition

[empty fulcrum]

oh ok

i mean stuff on the level of like as you approach endgame you should put your pawns on opposite colour to your bishop

they dont teach you this at school

[harsh sky]

honestly i dont even think about that

[trail vortex]

if they avoid slav by not playing queens gambit, then its good since I think Queens gambit is the most testing line after d4 d5 and the game plan is straightforward

[harsh sky]

subconciously maybe

[empty fulcrum]

this is a super underrated one, i have won so many games from it

[harsh sky]

i know it, i just dont care about it

[empty fulcrum]

like a few months ago i was just trying to do it every game

[brazen tinsel]

Anyone wanna play a game?

[empty fulcrum]

because nobody seemed to understand it even close to 2400

[limpid geyser]

honestly wish i was a better chess player ive only won 21/57 matches , at 140 elo

[empty fulcrum]

but i like the dutch

[limpid geyser]

tho honestly i know i have a weak opening and i dont know how to properly checkmate a king

[empty fulcrum]

just keep playing and you will improve

[brazen tinsel]

Yeahh

[trail vortex]

maybe have slav as a secondary weapon

[empty fulcrum]

i cba bro 😭

[limpid geyser]

i guess 57 matches is rather small compaired to the rest of the community

[empty fulcrum]

learning openings is boring

and it takes forever

[limpid geyser]

fair

so just play ?

[empty fulcrum]

maybe by the time i am 60 i will know some basic theory

[limpid geyser]

but i mean cant you just repeat like 5 or so opening and just call it a day?

[brazen tinsel]

What ur elo

[empty fulcrum]

2400

[brazen tinsel]

Damm

[trail vortex]

I mean alot of the intuition will come from the similar structure of caro and london and most of the theory of slav isnt play or lose

[brazen tinsel]

Stuck at 1500 any tips

[harsh sky]

time for Nf3 d5 e4 theory

[onyx meadow]

guys my power will be out until tommorow evening 🤧

[empty fulcrum]

cut out the blunders and you will win

[brazen tinsel]

Is French and Dutch and good combo one for d4 and e4

[onyx meadow]

try not being of the dumb variety

[limpid geyser]

tbf i am just playing because i like the feeling of chess , its fun to see the slight variations that happen in each game

[brazen tinsel]

Wdym

[empty fulcrum]

look, 2450 doesnt know theory to move 3

[trail vortex]

if u like these openings they're great, I play random openings sometimes which I havent studied and win at 1800 level

[empty fulcrum]

idk about french, i recommend caro kann

caro kann is very simple opening

[onyx meadow]

i recommend grob or borg

[empty fulcrum]

nothing like a solid repertoire

[brazen tinsel]

I used to play it at 1000 elo and I met alien gambit, haven’t played it again lol

[harsh sky]

alien gambit is so bad

[empty fulcrum]

there will be similar gambits against french i am sure

[wary token]

How can i improve ? I am 100 elo

[onyx meadow]

always go g3

[trail vortex]

I be playing Sicilian najdorf and KID with kingside attack and be winning so i think french is actually a solid choice if they like the opening

[empty fulcrum]

just got to stick with it and you will improve

[brazen tinsel]

Idk about ur openings I have played a lot of openings and idk, French kid Dutch scotch London kings and queens gambit

[harsh sky]

najdorf and KID

[zealous plaza]

🐑

[harsh sky]

🥀

[onyx meadow]

what about the grob attack

[trail vortex]

SOMEONE EXPLAIN

[empty fulcrum]

play the london if you want to improve

[limpid geyser]

like i do know that im not studying im just playing as i go

[brazen tinsel]

I used to play Ruy Lopez but it was too positional, now I play kings gambit

[brazen tinsel]

Too boring

[limpid geyser]

which is likely why im not achieving better results

[brazen tinsel]

Idk of that

[trail vortex]

this is the most extreme change Ive ever seen

[frozen dew]

Nice pfp

[empty fulcrum]

entire strategy of london system is to just get a solid position and any endgame you are fine

[indigo stream]

just promoted to 900 elo 🥳

winning is boring?

[brazen tinsel]

lol why

[limpid geyser]

should i learn the london system?

[zealous plaza]

Where are the femboys at

[brazen tinsel]

Haven’t played it since I got past 1000 elo i thought it was for beginners

[trail vortex]

I mean I've switched from caro and slav to KID and sicilian so I shouldnt be talking abt extreme changes

[empty fulcrum]

yes, takes 10 minutes and you dont have to learn anything else with white until you are like 2200

[limpid geyser]

ok will do

[brazen tinsel]

London can take you to 2200?

[empty fulcrum]

its not bro. just play the basic london system and half your openings are sorted

[trail vortex]

any decent opening can take you to 2200

[indigo stream]

i just won my 900 elo game while down 11 points walking the king all the board to the last rank with mine

[empty fulcrum]

i am at 2400 with just a standard london every game bro

[brazen tinsel]

And for black what do you recommend

[zealous plaza]

I keep my enemies closer

[limpid geyser]

why is there a london system and not a california system

[brazen tinsel]

What will you call a decent opening

[empty fulcrum]

least chaotic sub 1000 game

[limpid geyser]

or american system

[brazen tinsel]

What ur account

[empty fulcrum]

caro kann

[harsh sky]

i read this and knew the elo was sub 500

Im talking to a finnish girl who lives in germany give me some german rizz lines

[limpid geyser]

i mean am i wrong tho , can chess not have other system outside of london

[harsh sky]

i gotchu

Du und Ich
Hand in Hand
auf dem Weg
zum Dönerstand

[indigo stream]

blundered my queen then i pulled up a legendary checkmate

[empty fulcrum]

the london system was first played regularly at a tournament in london in the 1920s i believe

[limpid geyser]

or is that like not how chess works

[harsh sky]

shakespeare would be jealous of ts

[zealous plaza]

Ah hell nah

[harsh sky]

[dire apex]

Slav defense, Russian game, English opening, French defense, Italian game, Berlin defense, Dutch defense, Spanish opening, Austrian attack, Polish opening, Danish gambit, Latvian Gambit

[zealous plaza]

We staying single with this one

[sterile pebble]

Lmao I knew this guy was cheating

Is he still in the server

[harsh sky]

ts would 100% work on me

[limpid geyser]

so english opening = american system?

[zealous plaza]

Du und Ich
Hand in Hand
auf dem Weg
zum Dönerstand

[harsh sky]

hey bbg

[dire apex]

Did you fail geography and history as a child?

[empty fulcrum]

another incredibly common beginner mistake is finishing the game with more than 25% of your starting time literally every game

[zealous plaza]

Rizz?

[limpid geyser]

wasnt good at it sadly

[brazen tinsel]

Why is that when I’m spectating chess games I’m 3200 but when playing I’m trash

[nocturne garnet]

can someone give me the best strategy for a begginer

[zealous plaza]

Begginer must be a slur

[dire apex]

I also forgot all the Indian games/variations

[empty fulcrum]

its close

[nocturne garnet]

autocorrect trst

[limpid geyser]

i guess trying to find a american system/ play for chess is seen as a unpopular thing to do

[nocturne garnet]

hey my nae is james too

[indigo stream]

he thought he is safe after i blundered my queen

[limpid geyser]

and should just stick to london system

[brazen tinsel]

Also how do you progress and an intermediate cause I feel stuck at 1500

[trail vortex]

because your spectating thoughts can not be refuted by your opponent because there is no opponent

[dire apex]

Wtf does this even mean

[sterile pebble]

@topaz beacon yo bro why did your account get closed for cheating?? Hahahha

[nocturne garnet]

bro was bottting for sure

[limpid geyser]

maybe im confusing what the term system means , im thinking system means (generally this is how this population of people play chess)

[pearl wolf]

I feel like I got my work out in going against a 2000 elo

[sterile pebble]

100% he smoked me three games in a row and claimed he was 2400 on icc 😂

[limpid geyser]

like it has its own set of methods and theories and what not

[nocturne garnet]

what was his accuracy

[brazen tinsel]

Wanna play a chess game?

[empty fulcrum]

@brazen tinsel ches dms

[trail vortex]

sure

[limpid geyser]

tho i guess im mistaken and confused about how chess works then

[sterile pebble]

Like all mid 80s but it was still obvious. Ive played gms in bullet who didnt beat me that bad

[indigo stream]

my promotion game to 900 elo

[limpid geyser]

[echo yacht]

[golden solstice]

Oh btw I have 2 accs
2100 for 10$
And 8 yo acc 2300 for 40$

Jk

[fossil kite]

to flex

[echo yacht]

In fact, look, he comes, I give him my account details and the email associated with the account, and that's it, he takes over the account, changes the security and that's it.

[frozen dew]

Just use a fish

[fossil kite]

wym

[buoyant warren]

no way ppl actaully buy cc accounts

[golden solstice]

Why would anyone buy a chess.com account? It doesn't make any sense; if you're bad, you lose rank.

[viral egret]

and then you change the email password and recover the account afterwards, getting the money and keeping the account

old and boring scam

[frozen dew]

Stockfish's always there if u only wanna flex fake achievements 😭

[fossil kite]

is that a bot or smth

[frozen dew]

I might have found a new job

[frozen dew]

Yup strongest chess engine

[echo yacht]

He changes everything, even the login methods... well, the scam is possible, but when I sell my accounts, I don't do that to people

[fossil kite]

ohh ok

[frozen dew]

Who are u selling to 💀

[viral egret]

oh right, everyone else is a scammer, but you’re the one reliable seller!

[echo yacht]

It's just for showing off...

[viral egret]

🙄

[golden solstice]

That's so stupid.

[frozen dew]

And what was the elo of the acc u sold

[golden solstice]

Accounts don't provide elo

[echo yacht]

What does it matter to me if I'm the one pocketing the money?

[golden solstice]

unethical in my opinion

[echo yacht]

2480 in Blitz, 2080 in rapid and 2200 in bullet .

[frozen dew]

Mid tbh

[echo yacht]

That's why I like to test 2300 Elo players by climbing the ranks and playing with them to reassure myself that they're not just showing off.

[golden solstice]

What's the point of having a 2300 ELO rating... if you play like someone with a 100 ELO rating?

[echo yacht]

I understand you.

[frozen dew]

Why would u test 2300s are u a mod 🥀

[echo yacht]

Haven't you ever known guys who like to brag for no reason? You should ask them...

[viral egret]

yeah they’re losers

[echo yacht]

I wouldn't put it that way, but I have a chess club.

[golden solstice]

It's incredibly stupid to buy an account just to show off and then lose to the first player with a 1000 Elo rating in front of you.

[echo yacht]

Yeah, that's clear, but I can't say that when I want money...because if I create a new account I'll quickly regain my Elo level

[pearl wolf]

I highly doubt people are buying accounts. That's just dumb when you can just stock fish your way up

[golden solstice]

I'm not a banker, much less someone with a degree in economics... But this is a foolish expense.

[tawny fjord]

i don't know some people do stupid things

[viral egret]

<@&745328830649991179> account seller

[pearl wolf]

I don't see them buying a chess acc though

[golden solstice]

And there's also the fact that selling accounts is illegal.

[echo yacht]

Apparently you don't know about show-offs, he'll never play against someone under 2200... he'll say things like you're too weak, I'm not going to give it my all, and if you insist and he loses he'll say he left you.

[echo yacht]

I wanted the money 😑😑

[near dome]

There's still people wanting to just show off and never play

[pearl wolf]

Lol I play against people under 2200 all the time my elo is trash

[near dome]

@echo yacht is right that people will actually do it, but it's not allowed

[pearl wolf]

I see people cheating before buying an acc they'd lose points on immediately.

[golden solstice]

Selling accounts is unethical because it makes someone with a level of 2300 look like they just finished playing.

[echo yacht]

Anyway, it's not my problem...

[golden solstice]

And so they are buying accounts.

[glass tartan]

https://klipy.com/gifs/thats-really-interesting

[golden solstice]

In addition to the fact that someone could gain a lot of points by defeating that person.

[echo yacht]

Does nobody speak French here?

[echo yacht]

She aims for 2000 Elo before the end of May.

[unkempt meadow]

me too but i dont think i will get it 😔

[echo yacht]

I believe she can, she just made some calculation errors.

[unkempt meadow]

yeah... some big calculation errors (like blundering a queen and a rook)

[heady gale]

What’s the average uscf rating for a 1850 rapid

[cerulean crane]

I BEAT ELLIOT ANDERSON (i lost 7 before that)

[echo yacht]

No, she doesn't usually play like that, you know when you play bullet you easily leave pieces in 1, knights, queens, bishops, in short, even back-line checkmates you can miss in bullet.

[torn sparrow]

this blud always trynna farm weaker people

[unkempt meadow]

yeah but in bullet u dont play chess... u just move pieces.

[echo yacht]

That's why I'm not going to blame her.

[echo yacht]

No, no, you're playing, but you're just reacting extremely quickly, so you sometimes miss seeing the pieces...

[unkempt meadow]

"sometimes" i play bullet too (sometimes) but i would rather stick to rapid u know where every misstake matters.

[echo yacht]

Bullet ? Or Blitz?

Yeah she wants to be good at bullet and speed, I really like this little girl, she's 12 years old.

@boreal mesa

did u see me green

[fast crater]

guys rate my rook sacrifice

[zealous marsh]

Okay so either you lose a piece or you get two pieces for a queen.

Dynamically the latter is more playable with counterplay but eh, of course both options are losing.

[harsh sky]

not even a real sac 🥀

[zealous marsh]

Because you lose the c5 bishop and the position is just as bad as the other option.

[torn sparrow]

weird bishop sacrifice

[balmy python]

Leela bots 😳

[zealous marsh]

Engine antics, let it be.

Still though, you're down 2 pawns which is still definitely losing, just not warranting actual material loss.

[deft shard]

Did they remove the option of having piece odds matches against bots?

[torn sparrow]

they use a weak engine

yeah i mean it tries to guess which will be the most challenging to a human opponent and this time it's wrong but most times it's ridiculous how on point its judgement is

[deft shard]

https://tenor.com/view/hug-cat-gif-21835868

[torn sparrow]

it needs to play higher rated opponents in his training database so it can perform better

[normal mason]

💀 wdym

[torn sparrow]

maybe it should look at your rating before playing

[normal mason]

i mean like im pretty sure what it chooses is just universally pretty obviously above normal human blitz level

[south token]

Welcome back!

[normal mason]

it doesnt need cheaper tricks than that

[sterile finch]

[torn sparrow]

it never plays against good people so it learns cheap tricks sometimes

[deft shard]

[normal mason]

i disagree lol

they arent very cheap at all

no one would fall for that bishop sack bro

so it thought Bxh5 is a better chance

[novel notch]

[torn sparrow]

probably better for it practically but who knows

[normal mason]

IM kacparov who is 3100 blitz on chess.com scored a whopping 25% in 26 games

this thing is insane

[deft shard]

Use browser

I think that is connected to server computation

[normal mason]

you should try a few games

score to beat is 9%

💀

[torn sparrow]

I lost 50-0 in bullet and like 1/2-8,5 in 3+2

[normal mason]

yeah bullet no human on earth has a chance lol

[deft shard]

I could save money and get chess coach. But I'd rather spend it on other things

[torn sparrow]

check the 50 moves rule game bro it blundered there for no reason but i guess it doesnt calculate

[normal mason]

im playing 3+0 because kaufman announced a $300 prize for the first player to achieve a positive score over 30 games

[reef canyon]

funneling money into coaches at your elo is akin to flushing money down the toilet

[deft shard]

Ben Finegold once said "all chess coaches are bad, if you have a chess coach they're bad"

[torn sparrow]

maybe stockfish evals is wrong

[reef canyon]

just study your actual games

[deft shard]

True

[rapid venture]

That dosnt make any sense

[torn sparrow]

its for FM+

[normal mason]

i know

[deft shard]

Id rather flush actual money down the toilet than doing so metaphorically

[torn sparrow]

bro will claim it after claiming FM title

[normal mason]

obviously even if i get 20% i should be happy

[torn sparrow]

secret strategy fr

[normal mason]

im just here for the experience

[rapid venture]

Why do you hate chess coach's a lot?

[deft shard]

I dont

Ben Finegold does

[trail vortex]

lets all push to GM title guys

[normal mason]

what blunder lol

like the 63 declined draw offers you mean

[deft shard]

Grand Mother.

[torn sparrow]

maybe stockfish evals is wrong

[trail vortex]

Stockfischer better

[reef canyon]

314 centipawn loss happy pi day

[normal mason]

no obviously it's objectively a blunder because i am -3 but im not converting that so i am just shuffling

and it's objectively a blunder for it to decline my draw

[torn sparrow]

ahh there was repetition

[glass tartan]

https://klipy.com/gifs/muppetwiki-muppet-wiki-10

[normal mason]

but it wont accept my draw obviously

[magic shard]

this is my score

against rook odds

[normal mason]

what tc?

[magic shard]

3+2

[normal mason]

rip

rook must be very tough

[magic shard]

yeah it makes me tilt

[deft shard]

Damn scholars mate at 1200 level

[reef canyon]

how much of the 10.5 were draws

[trail vortex]

anyone below 1700 is bad

[normal mason]

i dont even know whether id rather take rook or knight

[deft shard]

True

[normal mason]

maybe with rook at least you can offer exchange sac and still be up material when it sets up some bishop of death

[magic shard]

[glass tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-u-wot-bird-annoys-cat-u-wot-m8-gif-25939657

(I'm just over 1700 🤣)

[normal mason]

or knight of death

[reef canyon]

"anyone below my exact elo range right now is bad"

[honest brook]

anyone who isn't titled is bad

[trail vortex]

Fr

[magic shard]

I'm not sure either I haven't played queen for knight yet but rook is really hard what's your score against it

[normal mason]

like with knight odds you have no room to fall back on

[normal mason]

nah 100% rook is harder than queen for knight

i meant like rook only vs knight only

[cinder atlas]

im always worse out of the opening and I cant be bothered to study opening theory, am I cooked?

[reef canyon]

how do you draw against it is it usually forced perpetual

[trail vortex]

no you are not cooked thomas the tank engine

[normal mason]

i think

i think it is some discussion

[reef canyon]

i assume the bot will always force a perpetual no matter what if it's down material

[magic shard]

I haven't played knight odds either but I might get 5x + adopted in 3+2 against it

[honest brook]

well I mean you need to know how to play at least two openings for white and black and opening theory gives you ideas for regular play too

[torn sparrow]

rookodds for knight probably not winable for humans bro

[normal mason]

bad phrasing i meant leelarookodds vs. leelaknightodds

[trail vortex]

I won against maximum bot with queen odds

[magic shard]

yeah sometimes I just perpetual it
if you're lucky the bot will make the perpetual but sometimes it wants to win and continues the game

[normal mason]

because idk i just feel like my rook will get buried

[cinder atlas]

How deep though cause I'm not tryna go 15+ lines deep that shit is sweaty af

[torn sparrow]

leelarook odds performs worse i think

[normal mason]

that makes sense

[trail vortex]

15 is the sweet spot actually

[normal mason]

https://lichess.org/@/LeelaQueenOdds send it a challenge

[cinder atlas]

Guess it's chess 960 for me

[half brook]

Hikaru got adopted by knightodds btw

[honest brook]

it depends on the opening, the general ideas of the opening is more important than how many moves

You could play something like the caro kann for example that doesn't need specific lines alot

[graceful star]

Love y'all

[magic shard]

I remember something like that

[deft shard]

Im 0.61 elo, any tips to get 0.67 elo like you

[half brook]

If I had to give knightodds a blitz rating it would probably be 3550

[normal mason]

yeah i mean when i played it 2 years ago ? i only managed like 2-40

[half brook]

bullet then probably 3700

[normal mason]

now it's definitely much stronger

[magic shard]

I played it once in 3+2 and I won I'm keeping my 100% score 💀 they probably improved the bot since then I'd get cooked today

[cinder atlas]

Im 0.32 elo, any tips?

[normal mason]

i think blitz you would still manage well

[magic shard]

yeah I felt that with rook odds I like don't get chances at all I used to be able to get a win occasionally

[cinder atlas]

How come the caro dosent need many lines memorised?

[deft shard]

Just learn najdorf theory in depth

[normal mason]

they turned up the decline repetition meter

[half brook]

how good is queenodds? I feel like queenodds is doable for a ~2600 blitz player

[magic shard]

maybe
most people play queen odds in bullet I find and that's really difficult

[honest brook]

because most lines are positional chess

[cinder atlas]

so sharp lines are more punishing if you dont know theory?

[half brook]

it's punishing even if you do

i ain't got all that time to calculate lines

sharp lines heavily favor computers

[normal mason]

but against all of the odds bots the only way to win is you just gotta blow up the center

[cinder atlas]

Isnt that the whole appeal of chess 💀

[normal mason]

and then pray you spot all the tactics that its trying to pull on you

[honest brook]

for the caro kann not really but for example like some Sicilian openings if you play into them without knowledge you will probably lose if you're against a good opponent

[magic shard]

this is always where it gets me

[half brook]

some people prefer tactical some people prefer positional, it is what it is

[normal mason]

if you close the position then ur getting mated lol

or in bullet youre getting flagged

[honest brook]

to be fair though below like 1500 or something it usually doesn't matter if you don't play exact theory since out the opening you're both confused

[cinder atlas]

Having trouble pushing to 1900 but I'm just toooo damn lazy to study specific theory. All I care about it general knowledge and strategies

[dire apex]

I am 1900 and my theory is dogwater so are my tactics

[normal mason]

so i have 78 games in bullet, 2 wins for me and 4 draws 💀

[honest brook]

well you can play like that too but you will take way more time off your clock because you're playing moves that the other person just has memorized

[dire apex]

What elo are you

[normal mason]

for a whopping 4.8% score!! lets gooo

[honest brook]

2050 chess com rn

[dire apex]

You dont even need to study theory to be 2k

[normal mason]

108 games in 3+2, 23 wins and 9 draws

[dire apex]

Just solid chess

[half brook]

I've lost to rook odds repeatedly in rapid

It's crazy how the bot can worm its way out of anything

[normal mason]

25% nice

[honest brook]

yes but it helps a lot so you don't waste time in the opening

and you can remember lines that give you quick wins too

[magic shard]

I like watching it play people and win

[normal mason]

lmao fr

[half brook]

And knight odds no doubt would adopt me

[normal mason]

just watching someone get crushed

and like half the time i can guess what its about to play ngl

[dire apex]

Yes, thats true in blitz and maybe 10|0 but no problem in increment

Also true for critical or tricky positions, for example if you dont know any theory you might lose against the fried liver easily

[half brook]

I would not be surprised if knight odds would adopt magnus in blitz

[normal mason]

yeah very possible

[half brook]

I think fabiano caruana went 0-12

hikaru went 0-10

[normal mason]

it's improved now as well so yeah

[magic shard]

there's something cool about watching engines play fast chess

[normal mason]

hikaru won his first game

[honest brook]

I rarely play increments to be fair so that's where my perspective comes from lol

[cinder atlas]

would you say there are any openings that share alot of themes with others with others?

[normal mason]

that was honestly a really impressive conversion

and then it all went downhill 💀

[half brook]

I remember that game, the bot played a stupid queens gambit opening and allowed him to simplify

[mossy tide]

Corny

[half brook]

honestly more of a loss on leela's part than a win on hikaru's but impressive nonetheless

[normal mason]

it was still incredibly hard to convert though

[honest brook]

yeah there's a lot of similar ones and transpositions too

[normal mason]

there was no easy way to convert

[half brook]

I was under the impression that leela knight odds wasn't that good and then I don't think it lost again for the entire rest of the video 😭

[lilac fulcrum]

how me a 540 feels after doing a 2650 sacrifice puzzle correctly without taking 100 attempts :

[half brook]

actually baited him

[dire apex]

I feel like some caro variations can be similar to French variations,

[honest brook]

yee I also sometimes end up in a french position from the alapin

[dire apex]

Also exchange caro exchange slav and exchange french are all similar except maybe different open files

[half brook]

Every single d4

[lilac fulcrum]

can someone give me a hard sacrifice puzzle

the ones on chess.com probably lie they aren't for 2700s

[trail vortex]

lost, its prolly gonna take a few more games

[normal mason]

what time control are you playing?

[trail vortex]

10 min

[cinder atlas]

Ok im a d4 player now 🤝

[normal mason]

good luck, i think you can probably do it

it's probably around 2000/2100 in rapid

[cinder atlas]

chat do u play d4 or e4

the question of all time

[lilac fulcrum]

best by test e4

[deft shard]

e4.

[honest brook]

D4 also doesn't have much theory often since it's position so it works well given you don't wanna study

[tulip valve]

hi

[deft shard]

d4 and caro kann r just cringe

[half brook]

e4 is the goat

[pastel yew]

b4

[deft shard]

How did you immediately get locked out

[honest brook]

I used to play only D4 until like 1600 blitz but I play E4 now more often

[torn sparrow]

i dont think its 2100 rapid

[half brook]

caro kann is boring asf you can just go exchange variation and play the most boring game of all time

[normal mason]

actually https://marcogio9.github.io/LeelaQueenOdds-Leaderboard/

with 10+0 it's probably more like 2300

it's gotten better since i last checked

[pastel yew]

b4 is actually good

[honest brook]

it gives you better sense out of theory

[pastel yew]

it makes my opponents confused as a plus

[honest brook]

well it did for me atleast

[half brook]

the goat black opening is sicilian

always an interesting game

[normal mason]

but 2300 is based on player blitz rating i think

[trail vortex]

how

[cinder atlas]

what's your favourite e4 variation?

[frosty grail]

why does e5 suck ass i always just get my pieces bullied and in the process end up losing something

[honest brook]

scandanavian has my heart

[trail vortex]

e5 just feels like im losing

[honest brook]

I basically only play the Vienna and it's lines lol

[half brook]

well usually you want to defend the pawn, hope this helps

[frosty grail]

im convinced that it's a bad move

[pastel yew]

play g9

[dire apex]
