[cinder igloo]

just lost my bestie and having a 14 losing streak

[covert dagger]

we all suck

just in different ways

[pastel matrix]

it should work in ur elo but i still do recommend playing an easy opening

fried liver is a start ig

[clever grotto]

Try learn the Sicilian, the opening moves not even the ideas its free elo because no one knows how to even accept it until 1100

So you just have a great position from the opening

Najdorf especially is cold

its not that boring

[spice root]

i've known a girl for 9 years in chess, and she beat me in my first tournament(i got revenge on her though)

[covert dagger]

At one of my recent tournaments there was a late 50s looking guy that lost to a little 9 year old looking person

I looked at the rating sheet and that child was 2240 USCF

[spice root]

her brother is now the national champion

[covert dagger]

💔

[fluid crow]

by killing her??!~?!?

[spice root]

yea i pulled out a knife and slimed her out

[fluid crow]

gulp remind me not to make you mad

[hot elm]

right but it doesnt really help me understand why its a bad option/why the best move is what it is sometimes

[spice root]

https://tenor.com/view/blood-horror-scary-knife-kaguya-gif-18416747

[fluid crow]

stonk fwish shows the lines

[spice root]

try going down the top line

and like experimenting with different moves

[hot elm]

but doesn;t that assume the enemy plays perfectly?

[spice root]

that's why you need to experiment with different moves, like what would you play as your opponent

[clever grotto]

When you make a move you need to expect your opponent to make the best move in response

Usually

[covert dagger]

I played that guy before, it’s kinda bad at chess

[spice root]

well sometimes the best move is so out of scope that its not worth going through the top line

[clever grotto]

True

[fluid crow]

dam thats hella shade

[covert dagger]

If you defeat stockfish do you like take its place

[hot elm]

ohh yeah ok then, its feels really complicated to do idk why 😭 ill try it out tho ty!

[hot elm]

yeah thats a good point

[spice root]

its not 😭 just as your side you should play what the engine wasnts and if you don't understand the idea, try and play a move on your opponents side against the move which refutes it, and you can see what engines response to that is

trust me its a good idea fs

[hot elm]

wait wdym by that middle part 😭

if i dont understand the idea behind the best move, i should play what i think is the best move on the opponents side?

[kindred crypt]

Hello

[spice root]

yeah the move which refutes it

[twilit eagle]

Would you want to take it's place tho

[covert dagger]

Noo

[spice root]

engine will then execute the idea

[covert dagger]

Can you imagine how many dumb questions you would get asked

Imagine its mate in 1 and someone just asks you, “but what if I take the queen with my king” while the queen is defended

[opal roost]

I got a draw against 1190 elo in rapid

[twilit eagle]

Calculate the best move for your opponent and find a move that negates or outsmarts that move

[spice root]

congrats mate

[covert dagger]

I’d cry every time someone got scholars mated if I was stockfish

[opal roost]

Because of the bishop and two pawns vs a rook and a pawn that's why I got a draw.

[twilit eagle]

It's like high rated players watching low elo players move and blunder and the other guy not take the piece

[covert dagger]

Its worse than that

[twilit eagle]

How did it end

[spice root]

i wince whenever i see my friends play chess in the library

[covert dagger]

It’s like when two GMs watch 300 elos blunder back rank mate back to each other for three moves each

[void tusk]

i HATE trying to play the dutch. worst opening i have ever learned.

[twilit eagle]

I can imagine, but it's still fun

[opal roost]

I was in a losing position.

[mortal bronze]

learn something better

[twilit eagle]

Did you learn it well tho

[spice root]

dutch is surprisingly good

[mortal bronze]

hmmm

[covert dagger]

EXCUSE YOU

[spice root]

its only bad past like 2500

[mortal bronze]

i have been hearing this a lot

[covert dagger]

f5 my beloved do not listen to this slander

[spice root]

like nobody bothers to remember the best line against it

[opal roost]

That's why i ended up in a draw in a losing position.

[mortal bronze]

i will still continue hating on it though because wdym you move the f pawn on move 1??

[spice root]

and even if you do the advantage is maybe like +0.8

[twilit eagle]

Yes, kinda like levy in guess the elo episodes

[mortal bronze]

yeah i expected the advantage for white to be larger but apparently not

the agenda must continue though.

[twilit eagle]

I see

[hot elm]

ohhh so basically if i dont understand why b3 is the best move (i dont, doesn't it just hang the c3 pawn?), i should play what i think is the best move (Qxc3) and see what the enging would do? but what does that mean to see what the engine will do, like follow the line?

[spice root]

ts like me and yuta slander

[mortal bronze]

nooo respect yuta omg

[spice root]

yes

just follow the line with implanting in your moves when you dont understand it

[sudden obsidian]

is the halloween gambit valid

[spice root]

like engine will go rc1 after qxc3

and you will realize why qxc3 is a bad idea

[twilit eagle]

Maybe it helps the knight get more active but I'm not sure

[hot elm]

see actually i dont understand why qxc3 is a bad idea, can't the queen just move to b2 and still be safe and then take the a2 pawn?

[pastel matrix]

hello

[spice root]

what does the engine say?

[hot elm]

and thats the main issue its like

[void tusk]

the dutch is absolutely awful for me. im about to lose this game which is really annoying because ive done nothing but lose all day and im about to drop under 1400 elo when ive been trying for 2 weeks to improve. so I'll send the game after.

[spice root]

after qxc3

[void tusk]

i want to scream

ive been doing nothing but chess all day every day for a week straight and have gone down in elo

[sudden obsidian]

hi

[hot elm]

it goes Qd5, but i dont understand why thats a good move

see the problem is that like sure i can read the line, but then 90% of the time i have no idea why the line is the way it is

[covert dagger]

I’m sure you’ll go up soon

[somber kindle]

Sindrav

[hot elm]

so it doesnt really help

[spice root]

ok, after qd5 what would you play as black, i want you to enter that into the engine

[sudden obsidian]

drink some alcohol

[spice root]

and then engine will reveal the idea of qd5

[covert dagger]

Steady effort always pays off, even if not in an immediate tangible way

[void tusk]

im a minor

[covert dagger]

Like Kasparov or something probably

[sudden obsidian]

drink kombucha

[covert dagger]

Drink choccy milk

[void tusk]

my opponent disconnected. this was the game. https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/166921143808/review

[pastel matrix]

i think one idea here is Qd5

[sudden obsidian]

Drinking kombucha and listening to bob marley makes my elo go up so much

[clever grotto]

Eventually you will win only a matter of time

[void tusk]

i play 70-75 accuracy every game and just lose and lose and lose and lose.

[uneven plover]

Gg.

[spice root]

70-75 accuracy isn't good bro

you should be aiming for 80+

[covert dagger]

Look back and analyze all of your games

[void tusk]

uh, yeah???? I know??? thats why im losing?

[glass tartan]

dont forget to sacrifice constantly

[void tusk]

I do

[spice root]

the way you phrased it, it was like you were surprised you were losing

[void tusk]

Oh i see sorry

[covert dagger]

Then you’re doing everything right, you’ll get there soon

[silk drift]

anyone know some drills or sumn i can do to transfer chess.com skill to over the board iusually get 91+% online but i feel like im slower irl

[spice root]

i'd assume it's just playing a lot of otb games

[hot elm]

well the engine says Nf3+, but i wouldnt make that move in a real game lol, it trades a knight for a pawn and opens up a line to the king, but idk if that would be worth it

[silk drift]

alr

[spice root]

ok? so what would you play instead of nf3

[wooden sphinx]

Gg

[uneven plover]

The game honestly felt a lot more dangerous than what the eval said.

I thought I was worse until I found Bh3.

[spice root]

theres a reason the engine is saccing the knight for a pawn, its because qd5 is so strong theres no better alternative

[hot elm]

lowk the situation is so shitty for black that theres no other good move to make (that i see)

[spice root]

you can learn a lot from these types of positions

[wooden sphinx]

Yeah same I thought my attack was strong especially when you played f3 I felt like I'd have some breakthrough

[spice root]

but theres a reason why qd5 is so powerful and theres no better alternative, it's because you centralize the queen

that's what you have to learn from this

that centralizing your pieces makes them better

you can get insanely good just by going through the engines play

[wooden sphinx]

@uneven plover Funny thing is I had a feeling 19. G4 would be good for me somehow I just didn't see exactly how so I didn't play it

[sudden obsidian]

Anyone know if downloading an extension to change the chessboard and background is illegal

[spice root]

its fine

[sudden obsidian]

i dont care actually im doing it

[uneven plover]

Engine likes 18...Qd7 and I probably lose if you find that. I don't have time to close the position because b5 is hanging.

[sudden obsidian]

my dad owns chess.com

[pastel matrix]

play by ur instinct and dont overthink it

[hot elm]

ohhhhh that makes a lot of sense, centralizing = it can see more
but you see like i couldnt come to that conclusion on my own even after seeing Qd5

[uneven plover]

And I also lose the Bh3 resource.

[spice root]

honestly, i think you should focus on tactics and watch gothamchess/daniel naroditsky videos(RIP)

[wooden sphinx]

I saw Qd7 but didn't think it was that strong cause even if you let me take on b5 then c7 is hanging

[spice root]

once you reach like 1000 you'll learn a lot more from reading the engine

[uneven plover]

Ahh I see the point, it's exactly the same. Qd7 pins my own pawn to the Bishop.

So 19...g4 fxg4 Qd7.

[spice root]

ur so obnoxious jesus christ

[uneven plover]

I can't take because Qb6 forks the rook and king lol.

I missed that though lol.

[dusk hinge]

My goat. I watched him a ton when I was learning chess, and just recently started rewatching and im seeing a bunch of ideas I was too inexperienced to understand.

[wooden sphinx]

But your f pawn didn't move yet at that point

[spice root]

its truly a tragedy danya is dead

he helped me get to 2200 from 1800

[hot elm]

yeah ive been watching a lot of gotham chess, his slowrun series is how i got all the knowledge i have rn
idk ive just been hovering at 300 elo for the past few days i feel like i should be better yk

everyone says like "oh 300 players have no idea what theyre doing" but then i have a decent idea of what im doing and i lose

[spice root]

below 1000, most of the mistakes you make are one move blunders and losing pieces. that's why i recommend tactics, to better help your vision

[uneven plover]

I was talking about move 18, Qd7 instead of h5.

[clever grotto]

What time control do you play?

[obtuse elk]

wow

[dusk hinge]

Yeah, he definately helped me improve a ton. Great dude.

I like eric rosen, chess vibes, and gothams new slow run series hes been doing.

[obtuse elk]

that's crazy

[wooden sphinx]

Oh ok

[spice root]

he keeps doing this, having a conversation about a completely unrelated chess game with starky

there is absolutely no reason for him to do it in this chat

[hot elm]

yea thats true a lot of them are blunders
wdym by reccomending tactics? obv i try to build tactics when i can in game but i don't see what i don't see if that makes sense

[spice root]

he's just doing it to be annoying

[spice root]

lichess has a puzzles feature

you can do as many as you want for free

[hot elm]

WAIT ARE THEY FREE?

NO WAYYYYYYYYYY bro im going to spam those

[steady moon]

chesstempo is also good

[spice root]

yes, lichess is far superior to chess.com

[hot elm]

i love puzzles im so mad chess.com only lets me do 3

[uneven plover]

Why do I agree with you?

[twilit eagle]

Rick Grimes

[wooden sphinx]

Idk if I'd say that's that clear of a position. It's defendable still for you but it does look like potentially a good alternative to what I did in the game.

[spice root]

agree chesstempo is niche

[covert dagger]

Wooaaah there

[spice root]

i use it for my opening prep

[covert dagger]

Wrong server

[twilit eagle]

Me when I learnt about that feature too

anyone want to play chess on discord (chess.com unstable on this device) with me, i am 900 elo

[wooden sphinx]

Isn't that such an amazing revelation? It's beautiful!

[clever grotto]

Lowk am going to make a lichess account rn

Im hearing too many good things about it

[unique quest]

you can tell me here or dm me all is good
any opponent is welcome

[hot elm]

thank u @spice root i just made a lichess account and ill do my best to do puzzles everyday and practice tactics and not blundering, thank u so much for all ur advice ❤️

[dusk hinge]

is chess.com puzzles really that bad? What makes lichess better?

[uneven plover]

Did you see the engine line after 19.Bh3 if you play 19...g4 after 20.fxg4 Qd7 the only move to keep the balance is Rxc7 which is honestly so stupid and a move I'm never finding, lol.

[hot elm]

15|10 sorry i forgot to reply

[wooden sphinx]

That's 2 enlightened people in a row! This is awesome!

[spice root]

gl bud

[wooden sphinx]

Wow yeah that's wild

[unique quest]

...

[clever grotto]

Just take your time with moves and analyse your games after and you should be chilling

[uneven plover]

I mean even if I somehow find that move, which I'm not because it doesn't make sense to sac a rook for a pawn with no followup, I'm not going to be accurate enough in the continuation and I'm just going to be down a rook.

[unique quest]

[oh well i will play another game]

[dusk hinge]

@spice root What makes lichess puzzles better? Ive been doing like 50 puzzles a day on chess.com lately. If its not good for training tactics, why?

[twilit eagle]

It's free is all

[modern venture]

This is not good

[dusk hinge]

I alr got premium for game analysis anyway

[spice root]

I haven't done a chess.com puzzle since they reverted from using a rating system tbh

[uneven plover]

Btw I was very happy you played a KID sort of setup, because I did not want to get bored by a symmetrical English.

[wooden sphinx]

Yeah it would be difficult to. Sometimes we forget to just do the basic things. I should've been thinking about the fact that the bishop on h3 was a loose undefended piece so I had a tactical possibility to exploit it but I wasn't thinking like that and doesn't seem like you were either

[spice root]

but back when they had a rating system everything was just pattern based, while lichess puzzles are from real games

[dusk hinge]

They have a rating system? Just hit 1700 today

[spice root]

that's interesting

all lichess puzzles are sourced from real games

[twilit eagle]

Yeah love that about lichess

[wooden sphinx]

Yeah the move order you played kind of limited my options in terms of how I wanted to go with the game

[spice root]

also lichess puzzle ratings are kinda accurate lowk

like to your true skill level

[uneven plover]

Yeah, I wasn't either. I was honestly just thinking how to deal with the upcoming pawn storm. I thought I was a bit worse.

[kindred crypt]

Me when i lie

[dusk hinge]

icic, might start doing 25-50 a day on lichess. But also chess.com puzzles kinda fun too lol.

[spice root]

do you not agree its like way more accurate than chess.coms puzzle rating?

[kindred crypt]

they are both bullshit

[spice root]

chess.com puzzles are good for people who like haven't learned basic patterns yet

[spice root]

so how do you train tactics big guy

[wooden sphinx]

You can't even like bail out by trying to go for like Qd7 gxh5 Qxh3 hxg6 cause you're getting mated pretty much after thay with like Ng4 or maybe fxg3

[kindred crypt]

chesstempo and woodpecker book

[spice root]

ok thats lwk aura

i can't even hate on chesstempo

[kindred crypt]

/nick racing helo 2089/2200

[dusk hinge]

Ive heard mixed things about getting the woodpecker book. Is it too early at 850 elo, or should I get it?

[uneven plover]

I was trying to avoid this where after castle you play d5 cxd5 cxd5 d4. Didn't want to deal with this type of boring position. I was going to play e4 if you went c6.

[kindred crypt]

vro 💔

[kindred crypt]

a bit early yeah

[spice root]

e4 is lowk bad

[wooden sphinx]

The boringness of it is why I don't play that

[dusk hinge]

What do you reccomend? Lichess puzzles for now until I reach an intermediate level? Also any mandatory books you think people should get for improving?

[spice root]

i used to play the reti so much and i loved going d3 bg5 qd2 bh6 h4 in these positions

[uneven plover]

Yeah I probably lose if you find Qd7. The position is very hard for me to play. and the pawns are still coming I have to again find Rxc7 which is so stupid and I'm not finding.

[kindred crypt]

lichess is fine

and you probably wont need books till 1500+

[wooden sphinx]

@uneven plover It also dawned on me to maybe play 5. D5 and try to get a Grünfeld transposition of sorts maybe but I thought maybe you could go cxd5 Nxd5 Nxd5 Qxd5 0-0 then I wasn't sure if I'd like to play that position or not.

[nimble arch]

I play the reti and i do NOT do this

[uneven plover]

It's not loll

[spice root]

i was the og reti user

[kindred crypt]

@limpid viper am i cooked it took me 90 mins to push 20 rating

[nimble arch]

no ur reti was Qa4 kia spam

[spice root]

it was tuff

[nimble arch]

my reti was absolute reti

no kid as white

[spice root]

e4 in the reti is lowk loss of aura

[uneven plover]

I was going to just castle after taking once on d5. Not commit to d4 or e4.

[kindred crypt]

reti 🤢

[wooden sphinx]

So it would have been a Grünfeld of sorts. Would have been interesting

[hot elm]

thanks bro im doing the lichess puzzles now theyre fun

[spice root]

@uneven plover you still too scared to face me

bok bok bakak

one win and you think you allat

[uneven plover]

Yeah that'll maybe happen another time I decide to play the English, lol.

[uneven plover]

Why dont you first reach 2700 bullet and then we'll have our match. Rated, even so I can farm you.

[spice root]

you dont even have a chess.com account

[uneven plover]

Just make an account on lichess and get to 2700.

It can't be that hard if you're much better than me, according to you.

[sand rapids]

Who here isnt indian

[uneven plover]

I live in the Americas. Which isn't Indian unless you ask Columbus.

[sand rapids]

Where your parents from

[uneven plover]

My parents are not from India if that's what you're asking.

[sand rapids]

Where

[uneven plover]

Somewhere in the Americas.

[sand rapids]

I thought you were Indian based on this comment lmao

[uneven plover]

Why does that give Indian vibes to you?

[sand rapids]

Weird ego

Not sure if that was just banter tho

[uneven plover]

He was calling me chicken and saying I'm dodging him.

[sand rapids]

Fair

Maybe the other guys Indian

[steady moon]

don't worry, he has a lot of aura debt to pay off.

[uneven plover]

I simply pointed out he's much weaker than me and he should get to 2700 so he can make a bullet match worth my time.

Cause if we play again and I beat him, he's just gonna say it's luck again and want a rematch. That's just not worth my time.

[cinder ferry]

the proper Scholars Mate ig

[uneven plover]

Fact of the matter is OhWow simply wants to steal some of my aura through osmosis.

[dusk hinge]

@spice root Whats a good puzzle rating for a 800 elo player to be tactically better than people in my elo range? Just want a goal to look for

[sand rapids]

Huge

[cinder ferry]

what piece types are throughs

[light crypt]

This guy hasn't sent a message within the last 6 minutes and youre still traumatized by his statements

[sand rapids]

Yeah as I was saying, strange ego.

The other guy also has an ego problem boasting him beating a gm the other day in bullet or something

At the end of the day we all are ass

[cinder ferry]

its the "King's Opening: Wayward Queen Attack"

Who is "We"?

[sand rapids]

You got an academy?

um

[marsh pulsar]

Rate the pfp and banner

[uneven plover]

You guys don't know OhWow like I do. We go all the back to like 2022 and he's still jealous I run a mile faster than him.

[sand rapids]

Oh so thats all just banter. Cool 😂

I basically started chess back in 2022

Was a 500 elo noob

[still phoenix]

[uneven plover]

On what topic?

[uneven plover]

Ewww.

Lemme beat up your London.

[wicked flume]

Okay, challenge me.

rapid preferably, my blitz is not good

[uneven plover]

Okay nvm. I wanted a quick bullet.

Go finish your course.

[nimble arch]

this no matter

[spice root]

the bullet god is coming for you

[uneven plover]

I'll be waiting at 2700.

[nimble arch]

this is just a new account

[spice root]

mama mia im 2380 bullet now

the wins keep coming

[uneven plover]

Even if he gets there provisional I'll play him. Elo is elo.

[nimble arch]

me?

[spice root]

lol

[uneven plover]

Him.

[spice root]

it's a reference to his chess.com username

[light crypt]

Ts corny as hell

[nimble arch]

Me is wins

[light crypt]

Stop kissing and play eachother bro

[uneven plover]

I don't keep up with this server's lame ass inside references.

[spice root]

keep crying in gothamcity where you and your boyfriend make out

[still phoenix]

Who's 600 elo here?

[uneven plover]

He wishes he could kiss me.

[light crypt]

Bro LEAVE the lobby

[spice root]

go back to where you came from cheese slice

[uneven plover]

You brought it up buddy.

[still phoenix]

Ok y'all have some conflict I'll ask again later

[spice root]

my bad bro, but nobody is 600 here except for indirec

[light crypt]

We just gonna ignore the fact he said, "He wishes he could kiss me"??

[spice root]

he loves sending homoerotic references

[uneven plover]

Yet you're grinding to 2700 just because you want me to spank you.

[still phoenix]

Indirect wanna

[spice root]

hes perhaps a little bit more than friends with a user named shinmen

[still phoenix]

Y'all weird at chatting

[uneven plover]

Wanna what? Fabiano Carwanna?

[spare axle]

obamna

[spice root]

not necessarily, you're just a stepping stone to my eventual hiting 3000

[light crypt]

Say that to your first girlfriend

[still phoenix]

Chess match later you can add me my chess.com user is my discord name

[light crypt]

Or boyfriend

[uneven plover]

Yet somehow I'm the one that sends homoerotic messages.

This dude is way worse.

[light crypt]

💔

[still phoenix]

That's not exactly homoerectic no?

[uneven plover]

He's literally coming for me, wtf.

[spice root]

you made that sentence weird, not me

[uneven plover]

I did not ask for this.

[spice root]

and you know that very well

[still phoenix]

Just hug it out electronically

[light crypt]

Bro I CANT take this guy seriously

Stop edging eachother and play bro

[uneven plover]

I can't take you seriously either because you're not at least 2700 but okay.

[still phoenix]

Are they having lover's quarrel

[buoyant warren]

yessss

[uneven wolf]

chesstalk drama

[spice root]

his lover is probably quarreling with him right now because hes in this server instead of gothamcity

[still phoenix]

Indirect you need him or her to be 2700 yet you're only 600?

[spice root]

i know right, its sad

[uneven plover]

If I'm 600, OhWow is 300.

[light crypt]

600 dollars in debt?

[still phoenix]

Then mentor him and guide him to improve not fight in a public discord server

[spice root]

i know for a fact hes unemployed

[uneven plover]

He is a broke HS student, he can't afford a coach of my calibre.

[spice root]

keep crying wah wah wah wah

[light crypt]

Wtf is a broke HS student 💔

[still phoenix]

No way you're gonna charge him.

[spice root]

i adopted you and shin years ago

[still phoenix]

Do you expect all high school students to have a sugar daddy?

[uneven plover]

Show me the adoption.

Pull up the receipts. I want to see those 10 wins in a row.

[spice root]

the chess.com record against shin speaks for itself

the lichess records are even more brutal, but i was anonymous

[uneven plover]

Right. "anonymous"

[light crypt]

You'd lose to anyone huh 💔

[uneven plover]

Guys I beat Magnus yesterday, but we were both anonymous. But you gotta believe me.

[still phoenix]

Sure buddy

[light crypt]

Where's the game?

[still phoenix]

Magnus Carlos

[sand rapids]

@spice root who is better you or indirect

[spice root]

im better than him in every time control except for blitz

[uneven plover]

I mogged him last time we played, and I currently boast the higher rating.

[sand rapids]

For blitz?

[spice root]

he plays on lichess

[uneven plover]

For all time controls.

[light crypt]

Did you deadass use mog unironically

[still phoenix]

Do you guys keep track of wins? Who is leading

[spice root]

against his boyfriend i am currently crushing him in wins

[uneven plover]

I don't think I've ever lost to him in my life.

[spice root]

and his boyfriend is similar strength to him

[still phoenix]

Yuck absolutely disgusting bro chess.com server lichess user

[sand rapids]

Hes gay?

[spice root]

i know right, he's here because hes ostracized in both servers

[light crypt]

Yes

[spice root]

im 100% sure

[light crypt]

Ts gonna get you banned bro 💔

[still phoenix]

Yeah I figured

[uneven plover]

This is him btw.

[spice root]

for tactics

[mortal bronze]

for everything smh

[spice root]

the UI Is bad imo

[mortal bronze]

lichess is just better at everything

[spice root]

also lichess is communist

[light crypt]

Shows one message with 0 context 💔

[mortal bronze]

i like it. but that's more personal

[still phoenix]

Lichess players are simple minded

[spice root]

yeah its kinda subjective

[uneven plover]

The chess goat is not ostracized in any server.

[mortal bronze]

idk vro lichess never killed millions

[summer snow]

americans when something good is free and readily available:

[nimble arch]

did cc kill millions lmao

[spice root]

its reddit but whatever

[uneven plover]

What happened buddy? I thought you were on your way to 2700 to finally play me.

[mortal bronze]

i said that because he compared lichess to communism

[summer snow]

reddit is not a source

[light crypt]

Lichess is good for resources, not for competition

[spice root]

this literally

[still phoenix]

Why are lichess ratings so high

[nimble arch]

its a different rating system lol

[light crypt]

Because CC is the standard

[uneven plover]

This makes zero sense. The competition is exactly the same in both sites. You're facing people of similar strength.

[steady hedge]

@spice root is a little loser

[light crypt]

Let's be honest here

[spice root]

FIDE is the standard

[mortal bronze]

separate art from the artist. i don't care what the owner does or did. it's a good website. much better than chess.com.

[uneven plover]

Cc ratings are even higher at the top, lmfao.

[light crypt]

Get a load of this guy

[nimble arch]

FIDEs rating system is AWFUL

[spice root]

for resources its a better website, but i just hate the premoves feature

[nimble arch]

ABSOLUTE BRONZE STANDARD

[spice root]

its so clunky on lichess imo

[mortal bronze]

it is better for both actually

[still phoenix]

Fide system sucks but not the rating system

[steady hedge]

@uneven plover Could you tell @spice root to unblock me. Hes a little snowflake who cried because I was right and he was wrong.

[spice root]

that's extremely subjective

[mortal bronze]

only true if you are low rated

[spice root]

hell nah

[light crypt]

The MOST popular site, with the MOST popular streamers, with the MOST rewards competitions, isnt the most competitive

[mortal bronze]

cc is not the standard

[uneven plover]

FIDE system is so trash they had to update the floor to 1400 and had to gift everyone under 2000 elo.

[mortal bronze]

real

[spice root]

fr what these guys are saying makes no sense

[nimble arch]

whoever tf decided that kids below 18 should get a bonus with a 40 kfactor is on smth

[spice root]

LICHESS MAKES YOU START AT 1500

[mortal bronze]

i love it!

[steady moon]

@spice root

[spice root]

THE HYPOCRISY IS CRAZY

[uneven plover]

I mean I agree with you that he's a little snowflake, but the little snowflake is too much of a snowflake to unblock you.

[mortal bronze]

i can be on 0.2 seconds and still make 40 moves

[spice root]

i don't remember who this is

[steady hedge]

Unblock then

[still phoenix]

Is this a chess gang war

[steady moon]

yes.

[still phoenix]

Whose side is whose

[uneven plover]

But once you lose you go down to your level. That's inconsequential. People will reach their appropriate rating with more games.

[nimble arch]

eh they seem annoying dont unblock em

[steady hedge]

???

[spice root]

oh yeah he was racist and called all NMs trash

[mortal bronze]

it has good pr smh. and because it makes money it's easier for them to market themselves.

[spice root]

glad mohit banned him

[nimble arch]

you seem annoying

[steady hedge]

Cap?

[steady hedge]

Im not, dont judge.

[nimble arch]

I am judging

[steady moon]

oh yeah i remember this lol

[spice root]

🤡

[steady hedge]

Faked ahh

[spice root]

he's alting now, that's so sad

[uneven plover]

I mean unless you're at the level where you're facing the top GMs like Caruana then there's no difference for you to be playing on lichess on cc. Either way you're getting matched with people your own skill.

[steady hedge]

Wdym alting

[still phoenix]

Antivc is reincarnated kkk

[nimble arch]

is same account

[light crypt]

1500 is classified as advanced/intermediate. The average elo is 600-1200, so that means (at maximum) lichess's starting elo is 300 points above the average

[mortal bronze]

tears

[spice root]

he waited for his unmute like a good boy 😭

that's crazy to me

[steady hedge]

Shut the fk up

[uneven plover]

For starters 1500 is beginner lmfao. Idk where you get advanced or intermediate.

[light crypt]

Wtf are you talking about

[spice root]

1500 is not beginner, that's so elitist

you're not even good enough to be elitist

[mortal bronze]

does this guy not realise that both websites have a different rating system

[steady hedge]

Play me in a match. You are so scared because you are not good

[still phoenix]

Doesn't lichess start at "1000?"

[nimble arch]

I dont think we should discourage that

[cursive yarrow]

Hello people

[uneven plover]

1500 OTB isn't 1500 online? Absolutely. Especially those rapid spammers with a 1000 bullet rating.

[high depot]

Really

[uneven plover]

Lichess starts at 1500.

[steady hedge]

Hes a clown faking screenshots and making up stories

[spice root]

you do realize that like a 500 on chess.com would sweep the floor with anyone irl who doesn't play chess right

[uneven plover]

But within 5-7 games you're already at your level, unless you really suck or you're really good.

[cursive yarrow]

fr

[uneven plover]

Yeah, but that's still a beginner though.

[still phoenix]

500 is not beginner

[steady moon]

500 is a beginner.

[steady hedge]

500 indicates you are below average IQ

[spice root]

please get a title before speaking like ts, its actually embarassing what you're trying to say

[still phoenix]

It's like a transition to intermediate

[uneven plover]

Someone that can run a mile in 10 minutes already mogs most of the world at running, but they're still running at a snail pace.

[steady hedge]

Intermediate begins at 2000

[still phoenix]

Wait fr?

[spice root]

being 1500 is more a mile in like 7 minutes

[nimble arch]

yep this guy is out

[still phoenix]

Gosh my friends lied to me

[steady moon]

true.

[nimble arch]

who tf decided to let him back in

[uneven plover]

That's way too high. 1700-1800 is already intermediate imo.

[steady hedge]

Maybe

[cursive yarrow]

Fr? damn didn't know that

[steady hedge]

Boohoo cry about it. Loser. 👶 👶

[cursive yarrow]

I thought 1800 would be alright

[uneven plover]

LMFAO no, 7 minute mile is like a 1900.

[spice root]

i think you have a new best friend indirect

[still phoenix]

No way 1k Elo is still just considered complete beginner

[spice root]

in the chess world it is

[nimble arch]

this guy will last like 3 days before getting loed again

[spice root]

he's clearly just ragebaiting it's sad

[steady hedge]

7 minute mile is pretty damn easy if you are healthy and aren't overweight

[cursive yarrow]

3 days too much eh

[uneven plover]

I agree with this, but now keep in mind these ratings are for OTB. Translate those ratings to online (add about 400-500 elo for each level) and you see why a 1500 is still a beginner.

[steady hedge]

English

[nimble arch]

well the mods are slower to ban so

we will sadly have to wait longer

[steady hedge]

Why would I get banned?

[steady hedge]

You tf are you, hop off. I was never talking to u

[nimble arch]

mhm

[cursive yarrow]

400-500 is too much bro its like 200 elo at most

[uneven plover]

For example Magnus is 3300+ online but only 2800 OTB, that's a 500 point difference.

[spice root]

200 is accurate

[uneven plover]

I'm 2100 OTB but 2600-2700 online, that's a 500 elo difference.

[spice root]

ik some people whos irl rating are higher than their online rating

[uneven plover]

Most people have a 500 elo difference.

[nimble arch]

yes and their uncommon
