Yes. I've only ever done 3 iq tests. The first said 400 the second 141+ a d the third (with a bit of trial and error) said 67. I barely trust the last one.

[normal axle]

Nah listen can I just ask is accelerated the best variation of sicilian

[frail turret]

[normal axle]

For sub 2000 elo

[naive jolt]

Gets cooked by maroczy

[neon gulch]

Ive never seen this move order because nc6 is always my second move however, if this happened, id play A6 and take space on the queen side, develop my light squared bishop and watch for threats, it's pretty hard to imagine this entire board but the only problem i can see is he can try to trade off my dragon bishop, its fine though not a big issue

[frail turret]

The best is whatever you want it to be

[tribal sage]

woah
too much theory for a 1600

[novel summit]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[naive jolt]

Interesting going for dragdorf, I think its called

[frail turret]

openings are for nerds

[hollow rapids]

i just know this guy was praying for me to mess up

[naive jolt]

Not an official line i think thoug classic g h4 works against this pretty well

[neon gulch]

Yeah the najdorf is also cool, but I'm not a fan of E6 Sicilian it is messy

[naive jolt]

Lol

[naive jolt]

Yeah nb5 and stuff

ooh Qc1+ leads to mate

[naive jolt]

Not Qd2 to threaten Rd1?

[proven orchid]

anyone wanna run just a few blitz

[tribal sage]

Qd2? that also works

[naive jolt]

Great

[kindred crypt]

This is resignable for black

[neon gulch]

I'd just play queen E2 and queen E3 to trade the queen's off

[hollow rapids]

i ended up mating him on g5, surrounded by everything that could've saved him

[kindred crypt]

never resign

[neon gulch]

Assuming you have no time

[hollow rapids]

i had like 5 minutes

[naive jolt]

No modern theory nxd4 line is pretty good but can lead to passive endgames

[frail turret]

[neon gulch]

Really? I don't see much wrong

[kindred crypt]

it was a shitpost gng

[naive jolt]

Honestly just go Qf5

[naive jolt]

Lol

[haughty swallow]

im 1600 again for the 500th time

[hollow rapids]

no but that's so lame i wanted to do the funny

[haughty swallow]

<@&745328830649991179>

[naive jolt]

Fairs

[kindred crypt]

mainline yugoslav is uncomfortable for black but you should be fine as long as you dont mind defending worse endgames

[indigo stream]

poor soul met the final boss

[restive cave]

dear god

[naive jolt]

Exactly

[naive jolt]

Oh hell nah

[rain sapphire]

Free knight

[kindred crypt]

i would rather play accel dragon anyway

[naive jolt]

So rather maroczy than yugo interesting choice but valid

[kindred crypt]

most people do that no

[neon gulch]

I prefer standard dragon

[kindred crypt]

lemme check masters

[naive jolt]

Noi usually face najdorf nowadays

[distant oracle]

why does puzzle battle come up with so bad pairing? almost unfair I'd say

[junior anchor]

Pogchamps 7 lineup is insane

[kindred crypt]

i meant choosing between accel and normal

[junior anchor]

Why all the players are so sweaty

[naive jolt]

Bruh puzzle battle is annoying even 45 isn't sometimes enough

[naive jolt]

Yeah you either deal with endgame or meroczy setup otherwise no real threat

[balmy python]

what does that mena

[neon gulch]

Do you guys wanna see a game I played today I thought it was good but I never reviewed it

[kindred crypt]

ok i stand corrected masters db say normal dragon is played 300 games more

[distant oracle]

I mean I'm not that high level yet, but 1100 doing 29 flawlessly, and me losing 20 elo because of it, like c'mon, I ain't paying for that shit

[kindred crypt]

g6 rauzer > both dragons tbh

[naive jolt]

Lol

[junior anchor]

You know what it means

[kindred crypt]

Completely different elo system

[naive jolt]

Which line is dat

[kindred crypt]

classical sicilian with bg5 g6

[balmy python]

im gonna googol it

[junior anchor]

Yeah it's fake

[proven orchid]

that's like a horrible line tbh

[naive jolt]

Is this for white or black

[kindred crypt]

I thought so too intill bones showed me it

[neon gulch]

I feel like this game is brilliant but I dont know for sure can someone review it for me please?

[sterile turtle]

yo

[kindred crypt]

mhm

brb

[proven orchid]

try playing that in slow chess you will see that white is pressing free of charge

who cares about what the engine says

[sterile turtle]

How can i be able to speak in #💬〡improvement-talk ?

[naive jolt]

Yeah but dynamics e.g. najdorf

If you know how to play it

[clever grotto]

I think you have to link ur chess account

[proven orchid]

it is easier to play white in the najdorf it is not worth it

[clever grotto]

To your discord

[plucky kelp]

Connect ur chess account to discord first of all

[ionic gull]

yo anyone 2300+ down for a game

[naive jolt]

Maybe so, but its more fun and tactical

[proven orchid]

in a few mins if u want

[restive cave]

ONE MILISECOND

[clever grotto]

Think an 1100 could sneak in 😭✌️

[sterile turtle]

ok

[proven orchid]

i can assure you it is not fun to play black in the najdorf in longer time controls

[ionic gull]

you 2300 rapid or blitz?

[neon gulch]

Can you let me know how you feel about a game I played, I want an opinion from someone higher rated

[proven orchid]

blitz

[naive jolt]

I gtg sleep now tho so

[neon gulch]

All good homes

[ionic gull]

wb rapid

[proven orchid]

i dont play rapid

[ionic gull]

alr I dmed you

[naive jolt]

Well, ig i play it differently. And also how do you even know this either you play it or you play against it against ppl who do bad

[proven orchid]

anything blitz or rapid is irrelevant about how you play an opening

engine is irrelevant too

[winter lion]

Guys why isnt d4 more popular than e4

Its way more fun and tactical

[long copper]

We’re looking for beta testers for a new chess website. If you’re interested, please send me a direct message.

[sterile turtle]

idk

d4 is even funnier to play

[winter lion]

Wdym

Yeah i know its way more fun

Jobava is interestring

[clever grotto]

Often leads to positional game idk

[neon gulch]

I prefer e4

D4 ends in the same position verbatim every time

[winter lion]

I prefer f3

[sterile turtle]

I prefer c3

[neon gulch]

Sicilian as black is the best

[naive jolt]

E4 qh5

[winter lion]

Some really really good titled but idk which titled player played a4 against me and i replyed with F6. Disrespect to disrespect

[coral kelp]

I prefer kings Indian defense

[neon gulch]

D4 is extra boring if the opponent plays the kings Indian

[sterile turtle]

Fr

[neon gulch]

But qgd is also super boring

[sterile turtle]

Everyone should play the dutch against d4

[neon gulch]

Qga is fun but nobody plays it ever

[winter lion]

Got stalemated after blundering a completely won endgame with like a few seconds left

[prime anchor]

i took up dutch recently as an e4 player, i lose every time

[willow owl]

why play inferior openings

[prime anchor]

theres theory vids, and prople plaay none of the moves

[neon gulch]

Try scotch it's absolutely cracked it may be the best opening in chess

[upbeat seal]

why is white up so much here. rating around 1500 rapid

[neon gulch]

I play the Sicilian specifically to avoid the scotch

[coral kelp]

Where are u guys from

wdyt about this :

#💬〡chess-talk message

like white pawn structure isnt good and king is semi exposed. material is equal too. why is white up so muhc

[naive jolt]

Its a quite decent opening

[neon gulch]

It's just uncomfortable to play against and pretty theoretical, don't wanna get caught in it

[frail turret]

why are you always saying shit like this

I got to 600elo in a day but then down to 400 the enxt day but now Ive been playing for a week and I cant get past 500?

[frail turret]

Its a sticker I can use

[scarlet arrow]

[winter lion]

Kinda disrespectfull but ok

[naive jolt]

Thanks, I think i gained one of my lost braincells

[coral kelp]

The One piece is real

[plucky kelp]

Because I wanna spread kindness and positivity :3
Just incase it actually reaches one person who needs it

[frail turret]

im "sorry" if i offended you bud

[naive jolt]

Why is everyone French speaking lol

[indigo stream]

im just walking my dog

[neon gulch]

Uncomfortable knight after g5, rooks aren't connected, bishop G4 can pin the knight in an uncomfortable position and disconnect your rook and queen until you move the king, then queen b3 pins the pawn and creates bishop A6 ideas

[winter lion]

Im not even offended its just morally wrong

[indigo stream]

🤔

[naive jolt]

Questionable game, but it worked and wins are wins

[gentle gorge]

sigh

[frail turret]

i dont know who that is anyway

[indigo stream]

blitz is always questionable

[spice root]

Let bro cook

[frail turret]

but if its "wrong to use that sticker" why wouldnt they remove it

[naive jolt]

No but this game especially

[clever grotto]

Bros a bundle of joy and sunshine

[winter lion]

Thats Daniel Naroditsky he died

[frail turret]

ok...

[indigo stream]

then all my games are questionable

[frail turret]

useand that means i can't y this sticker?

[winter lion]

Forgot it there most definetly

[plucky kelp]

That includes u btw, hope ur doing well :3

[neon gulch]

Bc4 isnt really a threat I develop normally, if knight g5 I play knight E5 attacking the bishop and defending f7

[gentle gorge]

just keep using it to carry on his legacy, a person only dies when they are forgotten

[winter lion]

You can its just not very morally stable

[naive jolt]

Idk what to say to this

I mean you could. You are the perfect ambassador of kindness, capable of casting enchanting rainbows of joy across the online world

I’m talking about. 9.Bc4. You said you play dragon, I asked about 9.Bc4 and there’s only one thing that 9.Bc4 can mean in that context.

[frail turret]

sad shi man

[neon gulch]

Mr Indirect, I just don't know what you mean I'm not a theory expert

I need the move order

[magic quiver]

Indirect is in the chat again, get me a bag 🤮 🤮

[winter lion]

Yeahh..

[plucky kelp]

I think cc mod requires justice and stuff like that, not kindness

[naive jolt]

Nah morality is the key to justice and anyone kind has a good sense of morality

[uneven plover]

Actually oops finger slip

Bc4 instead of Qd3.

[winter lion]

Why

[naive jolt]

Isk what this line is feels wrong

[uneven plover]

Qd2 Nc6 Bc4

[frail turret]

Im ragebaiting you

[uneven plover]

It’s mainline Yugoslav i just finger slipped.

[naive jolt]

Lol

[winter lion]

ok

[uneven plover]

8.Qd2 Nc6 9.Bc4.

[neon gulch]

You've already made blacks move, as white I play c3 D4 against the Sicilian but it never usually comes up

[uneven plover]

Omg

This. Forget the other picture,

[naive jolt]

WHY can't alapin players stop being annoying play normal nice open sicil for once in their lives

No offense

[winter lion]

Open sicillian is caca

[neon gulch]

I'd probably opt for A6 and b5

[uneven plover]

This is mainline dragon, you said you play d6 dragon you must reach this position unless you’re doing some weird ass Rapport Bh6 thing.

[winter lion]

I dont think i ever played it seriously as white

[naive jolt]

Lol maybe you never know

[fleet dove]

you have openings and endgames, when will you complete the trifecta and get middlegames

[uneven plover]

Okay nvm idk why I’m wasting my time

[neon gulch]

Knight takes knight first

[uneven plover]

Have fun.

[fleet dove]

woat take

[rigid pendant]

I’m 200 Eli what opening should I use and got any tips?

[uneven plover]

Ruy Lopez for white.

[clever grotto]

Any opening you find fun

[winter lion]

Whats that

[steady moon]

sicilian najdorf.

[uneven plover]

Thank me later.

[uneven plover]

Hard agree.

[prime anchor]

you can skip middlegame issue by directly transforming into endgame after losing your queen for free

[sudden pilot]

Let's recommend new player stupidly hard opening so they can quit chess early

[rigid pendant]

Plz give me a real one that’s easy

[winter lion]

You should not give a f about openings

[magic quiver]

Indirect, lemme get a bag real quick 🤮

[uneven plover]

They’re not hard, they’re actually very easy.

[winter lion]

Ponziani or... Jobava london rapport

[uneven plover]

You’re 1800 don’t speak to me peasant.

[rigid pendant]

See how to is

[neon gulch]

A6 nxd4 are my responses, but depending on how they respond to A6 I could do a few things

[rigid pendant]

Wow

[magic quiver]

Your mom is less than 1800, is that how you speak to her?

[prime anchor]

play e4 like a normal person

[uneven plover]

Yes. I cut her off.

[neon gulch]

Nxd4 separates the battery and gains a tempo that way

[uneven plover]

Shes too religious and I’m not dealing with that.

[magic quiver]

Well that’s a relief for her

[neon gulch]

A6 takes space

[sudden pilot]

Yeah i only spammed those to get into 1000

[magic quiver]

Your father is less than 1800, do you speak to him like that?

[sudden pilot]

Why use hard opening you haven't even master the basic

[winter lion]

Yoooooo

[neon gulch]

What do you think? How would you respond in the position you gave

[uneven plover]

I don’t speak to him either, he cheated on my mom when I was younger and left.

[neon gulch]

It looks like a fine position for black

[clever grotto]

Bro promoted to another queen

[sterile turtle]

He's just 100

[uneven plover]

The moves you said were all ass. There’s only two options, Bd7 and Nxd4. A6 is wayyyyyy too slow.

[prime anchor]

i played knight attack as white and traxler as black, and built my entire repertoire around that

I chose not to respond to this and you kept it up little buddy.

[sterile turtle]

Guys

[sudden pilot]

The dog morsing orange cat to attack the other cat cause he saw mate in 6

[sterile turtle]

I have an opening ideia

[magic quiver]

Dude the puke is drying up, get me a towel

[winter lion]

F3 D5 G4 and its just forced win for white

[sterile turtle]

Let's start with dxe1

[rain sapphire]

You have like the most haters in the server ngl

[uneven plover]

I already told you, a6 is too slow. You’re going to get pawn stormed. Tempo matters in the dragon.

[magic quiver]

If you smell like shit wherever you go, look underneath your shoes

[uneven plover]

It’s one of the downsides of having too much aura. Jealous LTNs try to bring you down.

[neon gulch]

How does BD7 help me beat their pawn storm, A6 wins multiple tempos in the pawn storm race and it's defendable I don't feel there's much of an attack

[winter lion]

Tf is that supposed to mean

[narrow bloom]

[magic quiver]

@uneven plover You seek validation through your chess rating, but besides that, you’re worthless

[sterile turtle]

how much rating do u have?

[uneven plover]

Bd7 prepares Rc8. Rc8 threatens a lot of stuff, either activating the rook to c5 or sacking the exchange on c3.

[hollow vessel]

indirect is giving chess advice at least bro

[narrow bloom]

739

[hollow vessel]

wtf are you doing with your voice

[narrow bloom]

we intentionally did the worst game possible

[sudden pilot]

Get off the feet

[winter lion]

Guys i have a really odd question

[uneven plover]

L + ratio.

[hollow vessel]

“I vomited hahaha im so funny”

[rain sapphire]

What is it

[indigo stream]

makes no sense , hows my best rating is 625 and im currently at my best rating which is 624 ?

[winter lion]

Can i give a hypothethical about death

[neon gulch]

I see now why BD7 is a good move, but surely A6 isn't a bad one it's definitely not definitively worse

[rain sapphire]

Sure

[sterile turtle]

We have to start with dxe1

[steady moon]

it is.

[uneven plover]

It’s just too slow. A6 doesn’t do anything other than prepare b5, which you can do it without playing a6.

[rain sapphire]

I think you gotta play a game for it to change

[winter lion]

Nah its disrespectfull nvm

[indigo stream]

afterlife ?

[narrow bloom]

your best is 645 not 625

[rain sapphire]

Alright

[winter lion]

No not that its about a question on Danya but i dont wanna keep mentioning him hes dead

[indigo stream]

my best 624

[sterile turtle]

I think 645 is bigger than 624

[steady moon]

you can play topalov dragon and go for b5 right away without playing a6.

[indigo stream]

ive never been to 645

[sterile turtle]

Then get it

[indigo stream]

till then my best rating is wrong

[sterile turtle]

Yes

[clever grotto]

Thats good you can larp 645 until then

[winter lion]

Guys youre hanging with 2 guys,One magnus and one gotham is hanging. Which would you drop into the lava and which would you pull up and save

[uneven plover]

For example, after Bd7 0-0-0 Rc8 (you threaten Nxd4 and discovery on the c4 bishop) that forces Bb3, and after Ne5 you already slowed down White. If they go g4, you can play b5 in one move because the two pieces attacking b5 are also the ones defending f3, which means that they’ll lose f3 if they take on b5.

[sudden pilot]

Can i larp being a 1200?

[sterile turtle]

Save Magnus

[winter lion]

Same

[indigo stream]

imma report my account for cheating my stats

Larp only if ur 99

[sudden pilot]

Iron golem

[steady moon]

your going to get larped.

[uneven plover]

None of that is possible if you play a6, just too slow.

[neon gulch]

Alright, thanks, I don't claim to know much theory but the Sicilian is just super comfortable, you have to be precise to break it down at 1650, even if I play slowly

[prime anchor]

maybe you got cheater compensation and didnt notice

[indigo stream]

KNIGHTS!!! alignn

[neon gulch]

The opponents just don't pawn storm well or coordinate

[south tree]

i think i wasted my time playing chess

[clever grotto]

Welcome bro

[neon gulch]

I only lose if I blunder or have a bad endgame, I've climbed 100 or so elo in the last couple weeks

[uneven plover]

Have you seen the goated game between some no name 2200 and the legendary Chris ward from 1987?

[indigo stream]

It probably confuses your opponents who dont know what to do against it

[winter lion]

Yeah. I think ill only play f6 and f3 against weaker players from now on and d4 on the rest

[safe patio]

rook sac incoming

[neon gulch]

Do you wanna play a rapid game? I'm significantly lower in elo than you but every now and again I get a super accurate game, I've beaten 2000s before

[uneven plover]

@indigo stream and I'll let you marry my sister, she works out everyday, 5"5 and she has a great voice

[clever grotto]

Fr learned something new today

[winter lion]

Bare minimum to call yourself a good chess player

[sterile turtle]

U should play chess

[uneven plover]

2100-2400 is advanced, 2400-2600, is expert and 2600+ is master. Of course not everyone fits under this criteria. There’s always some snails that cosplay as chess players.

[neon gulch]

Maybe one day, I don't play much so it's unlikely but I play really accurately alot

[winter lion]

I threw 2 whole games vs insanely good chess players both into draws in a row.. No more

[sterile turtle]

what if a grandmaster cheats to play worse?

[shell lynx]

🐌 🤏

[sterile turtle]

Can't end in a loss

none of da above

[winter lion]

Gm all day.

[shell lynx]

Ive beat some 2000 rated gm

[clever grotto]

Gm 100%

[uneven plover]

Yeah. Not everyone fits in a perfect box, but most people do have a 400-500 rating difference between online and otb ratings.

[prime anchor]

id rather have a cat grill friend

[neon gulch]

So the bottom 99.9 percent of players aren't advanced?

[uneven plover]

Especially now with fide moving the floor to 1400.

[uneven plover]

That’s life.

[winter lion]

Yeah but being gm cancels it out,Youre a exceptional player by default even if youre like 200 cc even tho not possible

[neon gulch]

It's really how you define advanced

[robust crypt]

Valid bro

[clever grotto]

Would you guys rather a gf or 100+ elo tmr morning

[sterile turtle]

Not relatable

[south tree]

you could imaging 4 constitant years. and 2 years of it was almost everyday 3 hours

[winter lion]

3000 to 2900 is minimum to flex about chess and call yourself a true good chess player

[neon gulch]

But I wouldn't say that CM exceptions reaching 3000 means anything below isn't advanced

[south tree]

but what i feel ussles about is not about not reaching master or somthing

[sterile turtle]

idk

[prime anchor]

theres a gigantic amount of people at 100-200 elo whose purpose is boosting your self confidence when you look at your percentile

[south tree]

after all that effort of getting better

[sterile turtle]

If it was 100+ elo every morning would be cool

[uneven plover]

If you play guitar and learn E major a minor and a few other chords and can play a song or two, you’re already more advanced than 99.9% of people that have ever picked up a guitar, but you’re not advanced. You’re just a moron that learned the birthday song or whatever song you learned.

[winter lion]

Cm is also good player by default. Just not exceptional so it should also cancel it out

[south tree]

i feel like i cant have as fun as anymore playing against my father

[clever grotto]

😭😭😭😭😭

[neon gulch]

Chess is just a game I like to play to me, but I disagree with your guitar metaphor, 2100 is like 1 in a thousand active players who play weekly, the average person who plays guitar weekly is pretty good

[obtuse elk]

If you play guitar and learn E major a minor and a few other chords and can play a song or two, you’re already more advanced than 99.9% of people that have ever picked up a guitar, but you’re not advanced. You’re just a moron that learned the birthday song or whatever song you learned.

[south tree]

you know you could consider him the one who got me into chess and let me study

[sterile turtle]

a gf, i never dated in my life 🥀🥀🥀

[winter lion]

If youre titled.. Youre set for you can call yourself a good player every day snd youre right. For untitled you need minimum 2900 to 3000 online to call yourself that

[uneven plover]

If you decide to go on a run and ran a mile in 10 minutes, congrats you’re already faster than 99.9% of people but you’re lwk still buns. Not even close to advanced.

[shell lynx]

!ping alex

[south tree]

eventually i overtook him at like 14/15

[obtuse elk]

[fluid crow]

yea 2000 is like beginner level skill

[sterile turtle]

fr

[neon gulch]

I'd argue a 10 minute mile isn't very impressive you're in like the top 30 percent of humans in general

[south tree]

it was still competetive back than but now

[neon gulch]

Nevermind runners

[south tree]

he doesnt want to play anymore

and you know all that desperte improvement led for me being bored of this

[uneven plover]

Nah you’re in the top 1% of humans, just not runners in general.

[neon gulch]

This is wrong bro your average physically fit person is running a mile at a faster pace than 3 meters a second

[uneven plover]

You’re forgetting how many children and old people exist. That alone is like half of the population that you mog by just existing,

[clever grotto]

Difference most people could achieve that within a few months

Able people that is

[uneven plover]

You are so wrong. Most people will get gassed at like 600 meters.

[neon gulch]

Yeah but when I say 99.9 percent I mean active chess players

[uneven plover]

They’re gonna end up walking.

[fluid crow]

its not impressive bec people like jyxzi play chess lol

[uneven plover]

Finish a mile in like 14 minutes,

[neon gulch]

Average physically fit person, not average person, people are a little unhealthy nowadays

[uneven plover]

You’re moving the goalposts.

[neon gulch]

I'm not, that's what I said in my original message

[uneven plover]

You said humans in general right here.

[sterile turtle]

Guys

[uneven plover]

Humans in general are unhealthy and will get gassed.

[prime anchor]

being willing to be bothered to run to make it to a bus is already above average

[neon gulch]

This was the original goalpost for me

[sudden pilot]

Wdym in general

[sterile turtle]

Should i study for my exams or play chess? Can't stop at a single win

[uneven plover]

You sent this before you sent that.

[willow owl]

hi willy

[willow owl]

whats going on here?

[uneven plover]

I mean I’m not one to complain I can run sub 6 mile.

[willow owl]

ts is called an addiction sir

[sterile turtle]

shit, i have 2 wins in a row

[clever grotto]

I feel like your argument also applies to chess players tho

[neon gulch]

This was what you said was wrong, but this is a better metaphor than average human, because 2100 isn't the top 0.1 percent of average humans, it's the top 0.1 percent of people who play chess regularly

[sterile turtle]

It's not

[uneven plover]

I was close to sub 5 in hs but I let myself go.

[neon gulch]

It's more like 1 in 10-100 thousand average humans

[prime anchor]

timing your runs is nerdy behavior

[uneven plover]

That’s exactly the point. If you’re 1000 you’re already better than most people that have picked up chess but you’re still buns.

Not even close to leaving beginner.

[willow owl]

bro thinks children and old people are bad at chess

[clever grotto]

You said 2000

[neon gulch]

I'd say being able to run a 6 minute mile makes you advanced

[uneven plover]

That was with running not chess, read buddy.

[neon gulch]

Even though it's only top 5-10% of runners if you're generous, not sure of the stats reslly

Most people just run without timing it

But equate that to chess, you're top 1% of active players at like 1700

[spice root]

10 minute mile is NOT top 1% of humans by any stretch of the imagination

[uneven plover]

2000 I said was intermediate, not beginner.

[neon gulch]

Still not advanced

[obtuse elk]

@uneven plover why argue with cc discord members lmao

[uneven plover]

It really is though.

[scarlet arrow]

pozole

[spice root]

its like top 15% of humans

1% is such an unbelievable stretch

[robust crypt]

Bastman!!!!

[neon gulch]

I'd say 1700 CC rating is a more impressive feat for it's field than a 6 minute mile is

[clever grotto]

Also it seems unfair to compare a 10 minute mile to all people some of which never ran in their life to 2000 for chess players

[scarlet arrow]

[willow owl]

i assumed it was chess cuz everyone replied to you with chess mb

[uneven plover]

It is unbelievable, but it doesn’t make it false.

[neon gulch]

If you wanna use average humans as an argument picking the game up online at all puts you ahead of 99% of people

[spice root]

no, it's just straight up false

[neon gulch]

This is true

[uneven plover]

Many people make a chess account and play like one game a year or whatever, that’s the same as people running one time a year because they woke up late and had to run to the bus stop or whatever.

[spice root]

obviously the percentile system on chess.com is completely cooked

[prime anchor]

that's one way to feel superior

[neon gulch]

Inactive accounts don't affect the percentiles tho

[spice root]

im not saying its not, but you're completely taking things out of proportion

[uneven plover]

90 days is 3 months. Lots of inactive accounts are in there.

[neon gulch]

But they don't stay for long

[south tree]

als socialy everyone of my friends dont play it

[neon gulch]

I'd argue at max 10% of the statistics are inactive and that is an absolutely INSANE reach

[uneven plover]

It’s a cycle, one inactive account leaves and one enters.

[clever grotto]

Would someone who runs once a year call themselves a runner tho and same goes for chess if you are playing 1 game a year you dont play chess

[spice root]

you have to consider that like most people who are on chess.com play like 1 game every 90 days

like they're complete casuals

[clever grotto]

10 minute mile is beginner level for runners and 2000 cant even be compared

[neon gulch]

I only play once a week usually, today I played quite a few games it was an exception, but I have been locked in today

[uneven plover]

Have you ever interacted with any human ever? You tell them you play chess and they’ll be like oh yeah I’m a chess player too, and then you find out they’re a 200 and are lwk buns.

[spare axle]

id argue that saying you play chess is not the same as saying you're a chess player and that saying you run is not the same as calling yourself a runner

[spice root]

you can be really low rated at chess, and still be a chess player

[neon gulch]

This is so real they think they're incredible

[clever grotto]

Exactly

[spice root]

you're so unbelievably elitist for no reason

by playing a lot of games of chess, you are classified as a chess player

[uneven plover]

You love to argue.

[spice root]

the rating doesn't matter

[uneven plover]

You’re missing the point.

[spice root]

your point is completely invalid, try harder

and you know it

[shell lynx]

[uneven plover]

Are you really still lwk mad I mog your mile time?

[spice root]

keep deflecting

[uneven plover]

I should post my strava to aura farm.

[spice root]

your boyfriend is better at this than you

[neon gulch]

But honestly, at 1000 you already understand the core concepts of chess, at 1600 you're advanced in many parts of the game, you know all the tactics, you know the theory of dozens of openings and you've seen many many more at least once, you can beat 95% of players pretty easily and 98% of players on average, id call that high intermediate at least

[spare axle]

wait wtf is actually the conversation here lmao

[fluid crow]

sound like you run a 40 min 5k

[neon gulch]

So I'd say 2000 is easily advanced

[spare axle]

someone gimme the tea

[spice root]

he's gonna talk about his completely fake mile time

[clever grotto]

Fr saying 2000 is intermediate is crazy elitist

[fluid crow]

😇

[fluid crow]

it kinda is

[uneven plover]

Aren’t you a 1600 that plays dragon and had zero clue about the mainline Yugoslav? 1600s don’t know any real theory.

[spice root]

i bet if you're 2000 you're in the top 20% within this server, saying its intermediate is an absolute travesty

[clever grotto]

Not to 99 percent of chess players

[neon gulch]

You know theory for dozens of openings, not every subline of those openings, thats reserved for high advanced players

[uneven plover]

1600 online is lwk the upper echelon of beginner about to enter intermediate territory.

[fluid crow]

i stand by what i said

[spice root]

that's only in lichess

[clever grotto]

Can u justify it

[prime anchor]

i know 0 real theory

[spice root]

its completely different in chess.com

[uneven plover]

That wasn’t subvariation or anything. 9.Bc4 is the absolute yugoslav mainline.

[neon gulch]

I'm closer to 1700, I'd say the knowledge of theory is more principled

[neon gulch]

Yugoslav is a subline

[spice root]

yugoslav is the main line at higher levels.

everyone you face is going to be playing the main line

[neon gulch]

Okay fair, I'm not at higher levels tho

[uneven plover]

Its not. Yugoslav is the mainline of the dragon.

At my level, Yugoslav is a subline, and dragon is also a subline

[robust marsh]

Just beat MAGNUS for the first time ever!!!

[spice root]

i was 1800, and like 60% of my games were against the yugoslav

[obsidian plume]

[neon gulch]

It's literally a subline of a subline

[uneven plover]

wtf are you talking about?

[obtuse elk]

ommm cheesewater for dinner

[clever grotto]

😭😭😭

[spice root]

the one time i agree with you

[spice root]

cheesewater mention in the big 26 🙏

[uneven plover]

You agree all the time, you just love to argue,

[neon gulch]

The dragon is a subline of the Sicilian, and the yugoslav has never come up for me it's a subline of the dragon, it's literally a subline of a subline which hasn't ever come up for me

[obtuse elk]

different cheesewater

[prime anchor]

should one be playing sicilian dragon only because it sounds cool?

[neon gulch]

Of course I don't knownit

[uneven plover]

Yes.

[neon gulch]

I've never seen it in my life

[uneven plover]

That’s aura.

[spare axle]

ofc

[spice root]

im talm bout the og 2800 cheesewater, idk who you referring to

[obtuse elk]

not the racist kid

[neon gulch]

It's like saying not knowing the benko gambit makes you a beginner

When was the last time anyone has actually seen a benko

In ranked chess

[uneven plover]

If you play the dragon and you don’t even know what the Yugoslav is then yeah that makes you a beginner

[neon gulch]

I don't know benko theory

[shell lynx]

Pragg played it recently

He won

[neon gulch]

It's not played at my level

[uneven plover]

It’s played at all levels.

[neon gulch]

I've never seen it

[uneven plover]

I was once your rating too, it was all I ever faced.

[neon gulch]

I've never faced it I don't know what to tell you

[shell lynx]

Just bc u never see it doesn’t mean its a sideline

[neon gulch]

To me it's a sideline because it's never happened

[spice root]

surely you're like 500 then

yugoslav is seen literally everywhere

[neon gulch]

I'm 1650

[spice root]

that's wild to me

[neon gulch]

I've never seen it once bro

Literally ever I promise you

[uneven plover]

The only logical explanation is that you play the dragon so badly that you don’t get Yugoslavs because white finds something better,

Because literally everyone plays Yugoslav.

[shell lynx]

Sawbb

[neon gulch]

My winrate with black over the last 90 days is 70%

[uneven plover]

Fine, I’ll go check your account I need to see this for myself. I don’t believe you’ve never seen a Yugoslav.

[obtuse elk]

lmao

[neon gulch]

Remember I am a casual and don't play alot of games

[shell lynx]

[steady moon]

maybe he plays 6... Ng4 every game.

[spare axle]

yall feel the need to prove the weirdest things

[neon gulch]

Go easy on me, I do stupid things alot, I threw an easily winning endgame earlier

[obtuse elk]

bro plays the lobotomy dragon

[neon gulch]

I play principled chess on god guys

You gotta believe me

[spare axle]

tell it to the judge

[neon gulch]

The judge wants me to be guilty

[uneven plover]

My guy plays 2…Nc6, that’s not the d6 dragon. Also even after Nc6. You play e6, not g6. You don’t even play accelerated dragon.

Idk where you got the idea you play dragon.

[young gyro]

Any coach from Quebec?

[neon gulch]

I played that one time

Watch another game bro

[obtuse elk]

lobotomy dragon indeed

[neon gulch]

I don't usually play e6 I don't like it

[steady moon]

your playing the taimanov then.

[uneven plover]

I looked at your entire opening explorer.

[neon gulch]

I only play e6 when I wanna switch it up

I always play d6 bru what

Stop the cap

[shell lynx]

Draggmanov

[obtuse elk]

drag queen

[neon gulch]

I know e6 is not the dragon don't be silly, check my d6 Sicilian games I never run into the yugoslav

[steady moon]

on the second move after c5 you play d6 after Nf3?

[obtuse elk]

@shell lynx no u

[shell lynx]

:jianpao:

[neon gulch]

I play nc6 first

[shell lynx]

Server needs nqn smh

[prime anchor]

i am hella confused how there's some people whose entire chess journey is only going up relatively stably, meanwhile theres me

[neon gulch]

I delay the dragon usually

[steady moon]

thats the accelerated dragon.

[obtuse elk]

[neon gulch]

Nah I don't play accelerated dragon

[steady moon]

2... Nc6 is the accelerated dragon if you go for g6.

[neon gulch]

I play c5, nc6, d6, g6 and bg7 usually

[shell lynx]

:moggermoon:

[uneven plover]

Most of your games go Nc6 and then e6 after taking on d4.

[shell lynx]

What does it mean to delay the dragon

[uneven plover]

The opening explorer doesn’t lie.

[neon gulch]

Check in the last 30 days, I used to play the Sicilian when I didn't know how ages ago

[uneven plover]

You have 4 games with d6 after Nc6.

[obtuse elk]

dragondorf

[clever grotto]

To give it food first

[steady moon]

that still transposes into an accelereated dragon, though d6 first is uncommon.

[uneven plover]

And only one game with g6 after Nc6 and taking on d4.

[neon gulch]

Are you sure you have the right account?

[steady moon]

normal dragon is d6 first.

[shell lynx]

Decelerated dragon dropped

[uneven plover]

Maybe not but im sure my money is indeed long.

[gritty wave]

Do people play the tarrasch against queens gambit?

[neon gulch]

I like to play d6 so I can put the knight on f6 without running into e5, I don't again the bishop after

Dragon the bishop after**

[shell lynx]

If they’re boring

[gritty wave]

Yes i looked at it thought its basic af after like move 9

[neon gulch]

I don't know what to tell you man I've only played 36 games with black over the last 90 days but I'm pretty sure in the last couple weeks ive only played e6 Sicilian a single time

[steady moon]

if your playing Nc6 first, e5 simply loses a pawn.

[pulsar widget]

Question, is there any lower elo bot that actually plays at bullet speeds without a fake delay? My adhd brain needs these guys to be reacting instantly

[gritty wave]

So its not really common?

[shell lynx]

Sorry idk. I dont play d4

[neon gulch]

Nah they always play e4, c5, nf3, i play nc6 then they play whatever maybe nc3 and I play d6 so I can play nf6

Then I play g6 and bg7

[uneven plover]

After Nc6 most people play d4, the open Sicilian.

[steady moon]

so you do play the accelerated dragon, which is different from a normal dragon.

[neon gulch]

I missed that out, yes d4 takes and knight takes

[uneven plover]

Then you take and they take with the knight, e5 loses a pawn after Nf6.

[shell lynx]

Open isn’t that popular in that range I think

[obtuse elk]

3. b4 🗣️

[uneven plover]

It is, I saw his opening explorer.

[shell lynx]

Oh

[neon gulch]

I don't know much about theory names but I do know that it's some sorta dragon

[uneven plover]

Lwk idk why im wasting my time,

[neon gulch]

I assumed accelerated dragon was just dragoning early

[shell lynx]

Wong gambeet

[steady moon]

maybe he is talking about this? not too sure.

[uneven plover]

Okay you know enjoy, bye guys.

[shell lynx]

He says not accelerated

[obtuse elk]

it's the portsmouth

[neon gulch]

Id play d6 before nf6

[obtuse elk]

the best gambit ever

[neon gulch]

But other than that yes

[strong lava]

accelerated dragon is to delay d6, to in the future play d5 instead

[uneven plover]

He can’t he has never played Nf6 there.

Most of his games are e6 and a few e5 too.

[gritty wave]

What even is the argument here

[shell lynx]

Bro doesn’t know about Hartlaub-Charlick gambeet

[uneven plover]

But whatever, bye guys, I’m done here.

[obtuse elk]

i think i used to play that when i was 900 😭

[shell lynx]

900 you knew ball

[obtuse elk]

imma start playing it again frfr

that and the heart attack

[steady moon]

just go to #2000-2199.

[shell lynx]

[obtuse elk]

e4 e5 ba6!!

[uneven plover]

I rather go to #🇪🇸〡español .
