[clever grotto]

[hollow vessel]

@signal snow gg bro i gtg

[signal snow]

GGs

[hollow vessel]

[signal snow]

Hope you enjoyed

[hollow vessel]

yeah obv i did bro

[signal snow]

Sure thing

[hollow vessel]

i acc missed adoption by a hair

[signal snow]

[hollow vessel]

9-0 and i remembered how to play chess for one minute and 11 seconds

[indigo knoll]

Well you know what they say

[signal snow]

That's my playstyle

[sweet drift]

Bullet game

[fiery chasm]

pogchamps 7 was the worst tournament roster I've ever seen

[dense spire]

i did the possible

[sweet drift]

Something light

[clever grotto]

It was fun to watch tho lowk

[fiery chasm]

ig yeah, Jynxzi and Ohnepixel was the only players having a chance tbh

[sweet drift]

Is this real? 😭

[dense spire]

yes

[clever grotto]

True was kinda rooting for joe bart tho 😭

Hes the only one i really watch

[fiery chasm]

what do you expect from a 200 😭

[clever grotto]

😭

Was disappointing to say the least

[wanton willow]

yay I just had the best game of the week

yunno that one game that just works

[fiery chasm]

i love it that jynxzi missed mate twice and even a bishop sacrifice tactic to get a pawn mate while the queens are hanging

[sterile dagger]

1450 misses cxb4

[clever grotto]

Fr i was looking at the bishop sacrifice for so long praying he would see it 😭

[fiery chasm]

me too 😭

[sterile dagger]

Tip #10

[clever grotto]

I didnt even notice at the end tho when he hung the queen i was thinking its fully over 😭

[velvet wedge]

i love magnus's tip

[wanton willow]

also TIL brilliant doesn’t mean best

[clever grotto]

But ohne didnt see it either

[grave cobalt]

sit at the board and play with yourself

[wanton willow]

sit by the board

[grave cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/lindo-chistoso-kawaii-laughing-funny-gif-16204364

[sterile dagger]

could be me if i had dark hair

[fiery chasm]

cant believe he didnt see queens hanging

[hollow vessel]

i guess magnus is just that much better than everyone else

[merry breach]

289 a few more games to go

[hollow vessel]

maybe he plays with himself bc hes lonely

(as the top chess player)

[clever grotto]

Could of ended very different i wanted ohne to win for eu 😭

[grave cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-pout-mad-angry-i-dont-wanna-gif-17112834

[velvet wedge]

he loves playing with himself

[fiery chasm]

i rooted for ohne 😭

[sterile dagger]

thas around my hair color

[wanton willow]

tip #10 in bullet without flagging

[grave cobalt]

i wish i had hair too

[fiery chasm]

when theres mate in one, flag your opponent

[wanton willow]

amen

[fiery chasm]

i won one of my blitz games by flagging my opponent with blundering my rook on purpose with check

[wanton willow]

I blundered my queen to the opponents queen blunder today

[tender charm]

Gg

[hollow vessel]

just one??

[fiery chasm]

today i missed a simple arabian mate in one

[hollow vessel]

tap into haramflagging

[wanton willow]

they just moved it somewhere where I could pick it up cleanly with mine but I just castled and hung mine

[grave cobalt]

how to get out of 1200

[hollow vessel]

just today i flagged smb who had two queens to my zero

[clever grotto]

Whats an arabian mate 😭

[fiery chasm]

just dont blunder

[hollow vessel]

another guy who had mate in one three diff ways

[fiery chasm]

knight + rook mate

[clever grotto]

Ohh right

[sterile dagger]

I feel like for 1200+ you also just have to start outplaying your opponents

[clever grotto]

Damn i dont think ive ever done that

[fiery chasm]

its that easy guys, (from a 1700)

[woven moth]

Guys do you think the slav or Albin counter gambit is better

[next estuary]

When do you get trusted role?

[wanton willow]

chat what did i play

[hollow vessel]

not necessarily

[hollow vessel]

play semislav bro trust

[grave cobalt]

if only it was that easy

we all blunder 3+ times a game

[fiery chasm]

Qe2

[sterile dagger]

I mean you can just take that bishop

Two different ways

[fiery chasm]

i still choke winning positions btw

[sterile dagger]

I did this earlier I was so mad at myself

[wanton willow]

I played Nxd8

[void tusk]

Holy zugzwang

[grave cobalt]

My rook/queen endgames suck so much i always hang pawns

[fiery chasm]

i choked winning positions three times in a row

[sterile dagger]

Oh man

[fiery chasm]

im better at rook endgames

[sterile dagger]

Tragic

[wanton willow]

nah it was brilliant but not best

[hollow vessel]

Idk why this isnt top move

[steady moon]

so many good players in chat right now.

[sterile dagger]

I didn’t bother calculating it

[wanton willow]

its still completely winning

[sterile dagger]

You are so winning there that it doesn’t really matter what you do

[hollow vessel]

odd because i prefer these positions over the top engine line

[normal wagon]

I’m 15. Am I too old to get started at chess?

[sterile dagger]

It’s just back rank mate threats

[fiery chasm]

i now grind my games with white only with c4

[steady moon]

no.

[sterile dagger]

I don’t like playing the English

[hollow vessel]

💀 💀 💀 💀 ur a child bro

[steady moon]

I started at 14.

[hollow vessel]

No thats not too old 😭 😭

[normal wagon]

I can consistently beat the bots up to ~1000 elo

[sterile dagger]

I sometimes play it but I prefer lines like the neo Catalan

[wanton willow]

same, this take was actually a c4 game

[hollow vessel]

unless you have plans of becoming a super gm maybe

[normal wagon]

I meant to get like IM

[fiery chasm]

i started at 14, and im 300 elo away from 2000

[steady moon]

gonna be very hard but possible.

[hollow vessel]

itll be much harder

[grave cobalt]

how old now

[sterile dagger]

I really need to play on chess.com only when I’m feeling good cuz like I’m 1600 on lichess and 1150 on chess.com

[normal wagon]

I’ve been playing since I was like 8, but never seriously a d always with months and months in between games

[sterile dagger]

Mostly cuz I tend to play on lichess when I’m mentally feeling good

[fiery chasm]

now 18

[sterile dagger]

Idk why I do that

[fluid compass]

You can definitely reach Im if you dedicate yourself

[opal tangle]

im 18, am I too old to start? lol

[grave cobalt]

nice

[sterile dagger]

Nah

[fluid compass]

I mean it's also a matter of intelligence obviously

[merry breach]

I GOT A ROYAL FORKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[normal wagon]

Am I looking at like 6-ish hours of study/day to get IM in, say, ten years or so?

[steady moon]

yes.

[merry breach]

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE ROYAL FORKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[fluid compass]

but if you play enough chess then you can break that barrier

[hollow vessel]

dont

[normal wagon]

I mean I’ve had straight A’s for ten years in everything

[normal wagon]

Idk if that’s relevant at all

[wanton willow]

wait it doesn’t embed

[steady moon]

ik a guy that reached it at 21 starting from 15. many factors play a role though; talent, effort, etc.

[sterile dagger]

Why did you reply mention me with that lol

[wanton willow]

bc it was an english game

[opal tangle]

ok I quit

[hollow vessel]

dont aim for IM

[wanton willow]

very uhhh instructive one even

[sterile dagger]

I mean I play the English sometimes

[steady moon]

it’s a joke.

[opal tangle]

I know

[hollow vessel]

NM/CM are doable and wont sap tons of ur time

[fluid compass]

I'm turning 16 soon and I've been playing for around a year actively, plus I'm not very smart so you'll probably go further than me in a year

[nimble arch]

lf game 1700+ long time control (10+ any) UNR

[normal wagon]

So, in that case my question is: what do I need to do in order to improve my play, e.g. how much should I be playing

[sterile dagger]

I honestly want to get to FM eventually but I know I just don’t have time

[nimble arch]

NM sounds cooler than CM and its easier for me

[sterile dagger]

I’m too busy with work

[hollow vessel]

ill try to reply concisely

[wanton willow]

im not delusional enough to want a title

[steady moon]

what is your elo right now?

[normal wagon]

I mean as a high-school student I have enough time to spend at minimum an hour a day studying

[sterile dagger]

Maybe when I have my current docket of games released I’ll get professionally coached

[normal wagon]

It’s ~470, however this is after three games

[signal snow]

FM is possible if you want to dedicate a large majority of your life to chess

[nimble arch]

LF game still

[normal wagon]

On chess.com

[sterile dagger]

I mean after being in game development for this long a change of pace would be nice

[steady moon]

yeah maybe should be spending more time on playing for now.

[wanton willow]

any master title requires a TON of work

[sterile dagger]

I’m 20 right now I’ve been doing game development since I was 12

[hollow vessel]

play mostly slow games, take time to analyze each one without the engine first, do puzzles preferably from a book, read strategy & endgame books, play otb at a club/tournament asap, find irl friends who are strong club players also going for titles

[nimble arch]

seems like a fun hobby though market must suck imo

[normal wagon]

I can beat the bots at 1000 almost every time, and 50/50 on the bots at 1200-1300

[sterile dagger]

Being able to play chess without the worry of money would be a really fun change of pace

[wanton willow]

this is kinda fire now I feel sad im just a boring backend dev

[sterile dagger]

Not for me, I recently rose to COO of my studio

[wanton willow]

just keep playing and keep learning is what i’d say

[normal wagon]

So first I need to find to find a club/tourney

[steady moon]

those bots aren’t really their elo lol.

[normal wagon]

So where does that put me, skill-wise

[fluid compass]

sounds solid

[nimble arch]

hard for me to tell if that really means somthing because its likley you are in a very small studio and if you arent, well then damm

[steady moon]

your current online rating.

[hollow vessel]

would be helpful imo for improvement and motivation

[dusk hinge]

Complete beginner still.

[normal wagon]

Alright

[verbal quest]

https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/167144357388/analysis?move=36

[blissful ginkgo]

that’s a pretty rude compliment

[frosty peak]

gotchaqueen86 (1353) vs. Definite47 (1338)

Move List

1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Nf6 3. e3 Bf5 4. Bd3 Bg6 5. Bxg6 hxg6 6. Nf3 e6 7. c3 Bd6 8. Bg5 Nbd7 9. Qb3 Qc8 10. Nbd2 c5 11. dxc5 Nxc5 12. Qb5+ Nfd7 13. b4 a6 14. Qe2 Na4 15. O-O Nxc3 16. Qd3 Bxb4 17. Rfc1 Nb6 18. a3 Ba5 19. [Nb3] 

[normal wagon]

So, ~470

[steady moon]

I think I was 800-900 when I turned 15. When I turned 16 I was 2000. So definitely possible to make big gains.

[nimble arch]

not meant to be, its just that the previous statment really didnt help me

[blissful ginkgo]

If someone says they’re a coo of a studio u don’t downgrade their achievement by implying if they’re at a small studio it’s meaningless.

[normal wagon]

I’m gonna try to play more on chess.com, is 15 | 10 a good way to start or should I do classica

[steady moon]

should be prioritizing playing more tbh. Nothing helps more than that at this level. Also YouTube videos might be good.

[sterile dagger]

I mean the studio I’m a part of mostly makes Roblox games but we’ve had a lot of success in the past

We’ve been working on our upcoming summer release for the last year and a half

[steady moon]

15 | 10 is good.

[normal wagon]

Well thank you for that advice. I’ll definitely start looking for a club and some OTB tourneys

[steady moon]

also should be playing blitz here and there too.

[normal wagon]

Bruh, the closest one is an hour away

[sterile dagger]

Image of a bit of the map

[nimble arch]

ofc, If I had offended you @sterile dagger I apologise.
Though there was still no intention of downplaying your title but rather an attempt to ask for clarification

[normal wagon]

Alright

[uneven turret]

first time I used this line correctly

[sterile dagger]

I wasnt offended dw! I knew what you were trying to say

[uneven turret]

anyways how's it going noobs

[sterile dagger]

I only even mentioned my title since you said the market was rough

so I just mentioned it to show that my job security is pretty solid

but you'd def be right for an entry level position

[sterile dagger]

Im feeling really good, just cooked a 1450 on lichess

[fluid compass]

Start one, get some friends involved and play with them

[sterile dagger]

idk how we got matched im 1550

[nimble arch]

yo do you play the dutch

or no

[sterile dagger]

i really wanna learn the dutch

[steady moon]

Dutch is so mid.

[void tusk]

is it better to trade a minor piece for a rook or to take a minor piece for free?

[nimble arch]

Im learning through it rn but it has to pass a solid series of tests and practice before ill consider changing my main responses vs d4 to it

[lone glen]

Even against the staunton gambit.

[dusk hinge]

Minor piece for free in most cases, kind of depends on the position and how much the rook is doing.

[sterile dagger]

I typically just learn my openings by playing them and figuring out what to do and what not to do

[nimble arch]

more specfically the stonewall, just because leningrad seems like a worse nimzo indian

[steady moon]

I mean it shouldn’t be your main weapon tbh.

[sterile dagger]

I find the knowledge sticks better

[lone glen]

Benko vs d4 is a good option

[sterile dagger]

benko is really annoying to play against

[nimble arch]

yep, thats always a solid way to improve, though I study the opening first and branch out lines + games + ideas so I make sure im not learning the opening wrong

[hollow vessel]

how

[lone glen]

Thats why the benko is really recommended

[nimble arch]

because its quite easy to play a subpar line every time

[sterile dagger]

Its just a really sharp line

[nimble arch]

also I think I remember you

[proven wave]

Hi Pixel

[nimble arch]

Hi mohit

[lone glen]

You gambit the queenside pawns to get immense pressure on the queenside with easy development

[hollow vessel]

yeah i get the basic idea of the benko

[rare carbon]

Isnt durch better against nf3?

[hollow vessel]

not really sure how its difficult to face

[proven wave]

How is your chess going Dottore?

[steady moon]

white can just transpose with 2. d4.

[nimble arch]

you could, and the standard d3 refutation isnt that good

[rare carbon]

@uneven turret Hi

[normal wagon]

So, as a beginner with no clubs or tournaments within 100km, what should I do to improve? Aside from playing more, obviously.

[nimble arch]

thats also true

[proven wave]

#1040028251965358121

[rare carbon]

Then why you want to play it against d4?

[hollow vessel]

couple days ago i looked into cb5 a6 g4 Ng4 e4 d6 b6 Qb6 Bh3 against the benko

[uneven turret]

https://nohello.net/

[fiery chasm]

i play benko

[nimble arch]

though during practice games vs the reti ive seen d3 more often, (and as a reti player myself I play it as well! [tho ngl I like the dutch positon more] )

[rare carbon]

Sorry 💔

[hollow vessel]

fun line, i want my opponents to sink some time over the board

[proven wave]

Noted.

[nimble arch]

yep, its consistant

[hollow vessel]

no u dont 🙄

[lone glen]

I didnt know that

[mental loom]

Just Hi

[steady moon]

playing online. also trying to implement using an actual physical board as much as you can once you get better.

[normal wagon]

Ty

[fiery chasm]

omag its PINK PANTHER

[rare carbon]

I was thinking to play benko gambit against d4

[uneven turret]

uhhh

[nimble arch]

are you 2k yet

[uneven turret]

uh huh

[steady moon]

underrated.

[nimble arch]

yep seems legit

[uneven turret]

why are most of his games 90+

[normal wagon]

So how do you implement my physical board like you suggested?

[uneven turret]

I mean I can't accuse people but I'll juts report

[nimble arch]

bast plays it. I consider it decently high skill, not my taste

Two days s back I was 1692

[steady moon]

like once you get better you can prob start reading a puzzle book like the woodpecker method and setting up the positions on an actual physical board. gotta get used to it as early as you can tbh.

[mental loom]

Wow..1651, we are same at Blitz 😄

[nimble arch]

mohit do you wanna play a quick rapid

[hexed magnet]

Anyone wanna play a chill rapid game?

[proven wave]

Really? Wow

[nimble arch]

or sun

[rare carbon]

Hmmm Incase you dont know i am planning to play english with white, french against e4, benko gambit against d4 and dutch defence against nf3

[lone glen]

Me?

[nimble arch]

ill see mohits answer first

[hexed magnet]

ok, ill send a link

[proven wave]

With you? How can I even say no to that! Thanks for asking! What timeout?

[rare carbon]

Bast who

[mental loom]

Really, last year Aug month I reached my peak 1900 then came down lol

[nimble arch]

french is also high level, if you plan to learn dutch just play it vs d4

[proven wave]

Time control*

[lone glen]

Do you wanna play someone else, we faced before.

[safe folio]

Hey pixel

[nimble arch]

Hi mashu

[safe folio]

Hey mohit

[normal wagon]

That sounds solid. Is Levy Rozman’s book “How to win at chess” any good?

[rare carbon]

@uneven turret Would you be my friend ? 🫂

[hexed magnet]

https://link.chess.com/play/jM50nt

[uneven turret]

no

[nimble arch]

how about 2, 5 minute games?

[proven wave]

I think that's just complicated life 😉

[steady moon]

haven’t read it so I’m not too sure.

[grave cobalt]

anyone wanna play a 10 min game im 1200

[rare carbon]

Give up benko?

[proven wave]

Sure. Can you challenge me?.

[rare carbon]

Btw who is bast

[normal wagon]

Alright. Are there any books you can recommend?

[nimble arch]

sent

[hollow vessel]

yeah i think its one of the better beginner books

[nimble arch]

bastman

[rare carbon]

Oh the mod

[normal wagon]

Alright

[steady moon]

prob shouldn’t be reading books at this level tbh.

[hollow vessel]

definitely mogs pandolfinis works

[mental loom]

Yup, very true 💯 it was bad phase of my life though when I hit my peak ratings

[rare carbon]

He will mute me for dm and ping.. any other non mod who plays it?@nimble arch

[hollow vessel]

no way bast is that mean

[steady moon]

I’d say once your like 1500 online you could prob read smth like how to reassess your chess by Jeremy Silman.

[normal wagon]

Alr

[crisp niche]

dm me doing 1v1s 100 quid if you win dm me for more details

[normal wagon]

Alright, I’ll keep it in mind

[rancid wedge]

Guys, I seem to not see any heavy piece endgames anywhere on any platform, may anyone asist me with this?

[hollow vessel]

why dont you play a game and trade off all the light pieces

[nimble arch]

dispite being able to, I dont really wanna mod this

[dusk hinge]

A puzzle workbook might be a good idea. In the beginning just tons of puzzles online/workbooks will yield a ton of improvement.

[rare carbon]

My bad.. i forgot he is one of the cool mod

[rare carbon]

Ive forgotten more about chess than you will ever discover.

[lone glen]

I didnt go Qf7# lol🤣🤣

[flint hemlock]

i won a game with the bongcloud lol

[hexed magnet]

Lol yeah I saw that too, gg

[lone glen]

I thought you were gonna go Qxe7 ngl

[severe dock]

damn it! I knew I had to get it up to the e43 range

[hexed magnet]

Lol I was lost either way

[lone glen]

Yeah.

[magic quiver]

Khawal

[lone glen]

I faced you like weeks ago right?

[hexed magnet]

I missed 13. Ng4 which was the only move, I thought I was getting trapped but I guess I have enough tactics to be okay

[hexed magnet]

I think so

[grave cobalt]

https://klipy.com/gifs/dog-lazy-1

[lone glen]

No, Ng4 wasnt getting the knight trapped because if 14.Bd2 then Qb6 and you exploit the d4 knight pin and i must block or will suffur massive weaknesses.

[hexed magnet]

yeah i saw the Qb6 idea, but for some reason i never realized that after you defend the knight i just have e5, idk how i missed that

[fiery chasm]

also Silman's Complete endgame course is very good

[left flicker]

When Ne7 king is forced to go h8 after that go Ng5 to make checkmate black is forced to move the rook to g1 after that move king to f7 rook is forced to take to prevent checkmate and you take the rook with pawn so your up on material now

[lone glen]

Dude, i was trying to find this tactic for so long omg

[signal snow]

If you did find it without assistance then you have GM potential

[lone glen]

I used an IRL chess board, does that really count as assistance?

[signal snow]

Nah it's legit

[upbeat creek]

Hello

[junior echo]

Please guys I really want to get at least 4 wins tomorrow

[lone glen]

My best win was only an IM because i have never faced a GM in my life bro.

[wooden sphinx]

@uneven plover I'm sending the challenge now, just accept whenever you're ready

[signal snow]

So how did you figure it out, because I still don't understand the idea outside of brute force calculation

[uneven plover]

Ok.

[mossy anchor]

who wanna pratice for a bit ?

[lone glen]

Because i was trying to find a way to checkmate this king but the Ng5-Nf7 idea never worked. So i was trying to find other ways and found that Kf7 Ng6 was a better execution.

[narrow grove]

OH MY LOED

[narrow grove]

Oh, I know. ;-;

[signal snow]

Interesting, I need to study this position more

[lone glen]

My focus was just wanting checkmate.

im wrecking myself

[void tusk]

why would it be better to create two isolated pawns?

[jade relic]

Is this showing still winning for black?

[indigo knoll]

I dont know

[spice ledge]

Drake here you used to call me on my cellphone

[void tusk]

no its drawish

[jade relic]

Oh, idk how stockfish prolly found a win with pawn takes

[spice ledge]

Faster draw

[shell lynx]

I assume to disallow the white king’s activity after g4 Ke6 Ke4. Bc gxf5 Kf4 probably have something like h6 to push the king back

[jade relic]

usually 2 same colour bishops give a result of a win/loss draw is very rare

[daring warren]

[spice ledge]

He can just push his g pawn

Both are definitely drawn

Was this on phone?

And lower depth engine

high depth on computer

hello everyone

[spice ledge]

Must be faster to draw then

[jolly ice]

Hello

[shell lynx]

Beside the point

[spice ledge]

Free gems in clashroyale

[severe dock]

if you asked me, the idea would be to have black pawns on h5 and f5 both escorted by the black king to make white's g4 push even less viable. that being said, this is just engine quirk, I don't see anything wrong with Kxg5

[jolly ice]

Shut up

[daring warren]

free coaching!

[obtuse dome]

Maybe (I say, again, maybe) if you would've taken with pawn (gfx5) white king would have restricted spaces (g4, E4) and with Bg5 would be better

I say, maybe

[jolly ice]

What

[spice ledge]

Yea but the engine prefers faster drawing moves

[grave cobalt]

anyone wanna play a rapid

[jolly ice]

Ok

[scarlet arrow]

ik

[glass tartan]

i will save this as a jpg, very cool position

[bitter niche]

Let me explain

Because that pawn in the long run is going to be a great decoy

The idea is to play the 3v3 on the right side and advance your pawns up that direction. Your isolated pawn is only a distractor so that you can bring your king along with the added threat of potential promotion

[pulsar isle]

yes lol. want the png too? surprisingly the accuracy is much higher than both of our elos

[jolly ice]

Where is my coach

Nepolian

[glass tartan]

i find it very funny

[pulsar isle]

pgn i meant 💀oops

[spice ledge]

Ai

[pulsar isle]

also, so funny about the 700 elo range. common for them to blunder something within the first 10 moves somehow

[pulsar isle]

oldest trick in the book ahh

[lusty wren]

any 1 puzzels?

?

[pastel yew]

what

[scarlet arrow]

the actual reason is that the f pawn would control e4

so you get an overall better control over the position and the enemy king can't easily penetrate the pos

[uneven plover]

Sorry about that. I had to leave mid game and was driving for the most of it.

[steady moon]

WTP

[wooden sphinx]

Oh dang

[uneven plover]

I had no idea what I was even calculating lol.

[buoyant acorn]

Driving and discord? Truly somthing

[uneven plover]

No, Driving and chess.

[pastel yew]

check check check check check check check check

[pastel yew]

much better

[steady moon]

driving, chess and discord.

[buoyant acorn]

😭✌️

[uneven plover]

OH I see. Yeah gxh6 is much better.

Also I should've just taken on f5 instead of Re6.

[winged dock]

No i got 2400 idc

[wooden sphinx]

Yeah I was only taking Bxf5 and g6 as serious possibilites for you to play in this position

@uneven plover It's crazy to me that you were like +2 most of that middlegame with how passive your position was

[pastel yew]

I think that check check take take like Hikaru is the answer

[steady moon]

ct art 4.0 is acc goated.

[uneven plover]

My original plan was Re6 followed by h5 instead of Bc8. Then I was like, wait lemme include Bc8. And then I forgot that the Re6 h5 idea doesn't work once your rook gets to g1.

[tranquil prism]

omg my goat starky

[uneven plover]

I felt I had the defensive resources, I just couldn't concentrate and calculate.

[wooden sphinx]

I see

[uneven plover]

You missed my goat subbum earlier.

[uneven plover]

Yeah I wanted to get h5 and g6 in. And if you decide to play g6 yourself after h5, then Rxg6 Ng5 Rxg5 Bxg5 f6 and I thought I had a decent position.

But I included Bc8, and then that plan no longer works because Rg1 supports the g-pawn too.

[red mountain]

indirect knows chess?

[uneven plover]

I should've just stuck to my plan rather than make two plans work.

[winged dock]

Read the name bro you think this isn't intentional

[uneven plover]

A little bit. Enough to know you're scared of Nitish.

[jolly ice]

It's probably a Indian kid that is hydrogen bomb

[modern owl]

If he lose first game I might

[shell lynx]

W assault

[steady moon]

maybe a few hydrogen bombs but there is always 1 tsar bomb, and then everyone else is just a coughing baby.

You can gain again

[wraith canyon]

[burnt loom]

[hard creek]

[burnt loom]

how much you want to do

[hard creek]

idk,as much as i can

till im tired

[burnt loom]

playing real games also help to improve

[hard creek]

ok

[burnt loom]

you were doing easier setting puzzles? since you have high success rate but still drop rating

[wet vortex]

How many grandmasters have been banished?

[burnt loom]

that will be useful to build tactical intuition and like seeing tactics faster in real games

[hard creek]

i play too fast xd

[hard creek]

ah ok

[burnt loom]

kramnik should be :)

[hard creek]

ima play sum game

[burnt loom]

rapid is the best if you want to improve

[hard creek]

yes thats my main

[burnt loom]

nice

[void tusk]

im playing in a tournament tomorrow but im not familiar with how to write down my moves and stuff

and im not super familiar with the board numbers. i mean im 1450 but i just dont have them memorized

[glass tartan]

worse thing is to write your moves down when playing, its a distraction

[void tusk]

dont you have to?

[glass tartan]

yes

[glass tartan]

yes, one reason i dont play in tournaments

i wonder if you can get someone to write them for you .

[void tusk]

maybe

[glass tartan]

in a game. that would be a cool thing to have

itrs 2026 , we have Ai and sht,. its time we improve chess enviroment for chess players

[grave cobalt]

whats yall puzzle rating

[pulsar isle]

took all that time to make the most booty move ever

[burnt loom]

if its rapid, its optional i think

[tawny lotus]

what am I missing here lmao... how is this a draw?

[slow folio]

even in rapid I don't suggest writting down moves

I alr tried it out and it was wild lol

[pulsar isle]

a simple pawn push wouldve avoided this smh

[burnt loom]

50 move rule or smth

[rigid mesa]

yo

[burnt loom]

or 3fold repetition

[tawny lotus]

ohhh right derp, got it

would've been repetition if he went to d2

time scramble lol

[slow folio]

[twin patio]

https://tenor.com/view/zenless-zzz-zenless-zone-zero-agent-vivian-gif-4267676107631466043

[twin patio]

[pulsar isle]

[sterile dagger]

[pulsar isle]

anyways heres another funny move from an opponent

[sterile dagger]

good on u for admitting it tho

[pulsar isle]

yes lol

[sterile dagger]

Also hiiii elii

[slow folio]

I can predict the result of the tournament: Sindarov is gonna be in WCC match against Gukesh

[sterile dagger]

what in the actual

[tight junco]

i just got into chess lol so this is my highest streak

[magic shard]

anish giri for world champion

[sterile dagger]

I took a 45 day hiatus from chess to get my head back to a good space

[pulsar isle]

forever a magnus glazer

[grave cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/67-6767-676767-cat67-cat-gif-18345003009543756801

[sterile dagger]

so i only came back a week ish ago

[grave cobalt]

I might

[sterile dagger]

I feel bad for gukesh, sindarov is looking like a young magnus carlsen

he even acts like a young magnus

"I think someone who really does not like training a lot. Let us say, from footballers, Eden Hazard, maybe. But he has very good talent"

[tight junco]

i am curious do any of you actually own a chess set

[severe dock]

even takes a shit like young magnus?

[sterile dagger]

several!

[slow folio]

@sterile dagger Anish for the win, im not sure abt Fabi vs Sindarov since I need to know Fabi's first 10 moves to know the opening he's going for

[pulsar isle]

nah but i want one so bad

[slow folio]

the 2 other games are gonna be end in a draw

[tight junco]

i just got one yesterday and though i was wierd lmao

[sterile dagger]

I mean sindarov has started taking his time after that against bluebaum

[severe dock]

but yeah jokes apart, Gukesh is in for a tough fight

[grave cobalt]

no youre weird

[sterile dagger]

Did you see the look he gave to praggnanandhaa after he played Bd7

that was a death stare

[severe dock]

I want to see Gukesh back in his form during the Olympiad vs sindarov form in current candidates

[kindred crypt]

Hi
Who play?

[severe dock]

would be glorious to watch

[sterile dagger]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4-4MBTnUi6s

[grave cobalt]

[sterile dagger]

@slow folio

[kindred crypt]

Ok
Send me your username

[grave cobalt]

ddf2d

[slow folio]

about woman's... idk this is my prediction

[severe dock]

I legit thought Bd7 was a "mouseslip" when I first saw it lol

[solemn olive]

hello everyone

[sterile dagger]

I was watching the board camera so I knew what pragg had done

[severe dock]

like no other explanation for it coming from a player like pragg

[sterile dagger]

He missed Qf4+

It’s honestly that simple, crazy mistake for a super GM tho

[steady moon]

it’s a really simple idea to miss.

[wraith pulsar]

Hi does anyone know how a family subscription works, can you share with ppl in other countries?

[severe dock]

Be6 and you prevent rook infiltration. I mean what's the idea Bd7 achieves that Be6 doesn't

[sterile dagger]

look at the face 😭

[severe dock]

I would've been bewildered as well if I was him ngl

[kindred crypt]

I send

[slow folio]

I remember when I didnt see the onboard camera and I thought Donchenko sac his queen for the rook but in reality it was qg7+ brilliant and my hope falls

[sterile dagger]

if sindarov looked at me like that i'm shitting bricks

[grave cobalt]

whats ur user

[solemn olive]

hi everyone

im new to chess

[grave cobalt]

hi

[sterile dagger]

@slow folio guy tried to rosen trap me

[solemn olive]

[solemn olive]

[sterile dagger]

[solemn olive]

[grave cobalt]

Calm

[sterile dagger]

I’ll show you

What I’m talking about

[slow folio]

@sterile dagger rate my brilliants under time pressure lol

[solemn olive]

i beat him in real life

[sterile dagger]

If my snipping tool will unfreeze

[solemn olive]

so i dont know if it was 5 moves but i think it was

[frank sierra]

Could someone coach me?

[sterile dagger]

was this the mate

[solemn olive]

no

he didnt have his other pawn out or his horse

[slow folio]

I feel like I was playing classical because I was trying my best to maximise my piece's activity and the complexed plans

[sterile dagger]

first one is a beautiful clearance

second one is just the same idea

[slow folio]

yah

[solemn olive]

im only 200 im not that good

my friends are just garbage

im trying to get better

[sterile dagger]

epic

[sterile dagger]

ive been getting a lot of brilliant moves since my return to chess a week ago

[solemn olive]

[severe dock]
